1 August 2023 – 18:10
The AZ Herentals has become the first hospital in the Kempen region to offer an automated allergy test. This new technology revolutionizes the traditional prick test for detecting allergies, as it is now conducted by a machine. The results obtained are highly reliable, and the entire process is significantly faster.
With the introduction of this automated system, the AZ Herentals aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of allergy testing for their patients. This latest development positions the hospital as a pioneer in advanced medical technology and patient care.
Traditionally, the prick test involves a healthcare professional manually pricking the patient’s skin with a small amount of allergen, such as pollen or pet dander. The skin is then observed for any allergic reaction, such as redness or swelling. However, this process can be time-consuming and may require multiple visits to complete the testing.
The new automated allergy test eliminates the need for manual procedures, as it is now entirely performed by a machine. The machine administers the necessary allergens and measures the body’s response, providing instant and accurate results. This automation not only saves time but also ensures consistency in testing and reduces the possibility of human error.
It is important to note that the automated allergy test can only be conducted with a doctor’s prescription. General practitioners are also authorized to prescribe this test to their patients at the AZ Herentals hospital. By offering this service, the hospital aims to collaborate with local doctors and provide an accessible and efficient solution for allergy testing.
The introduction of the automated allergy test at AZ Herentals reflects the hospital’s commitment to staying at the forefront of medical innovation. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, the hospital empowers both patients and medical professionals with faster and more reliable solutions.
Patients can now benefit from a more convenient and accurate testing experience, while healthcare providers can streamline their diagnostic procedures. The AZ Herentals hospital is proud to lead the way in introducing this progressive system, making significant strides in allergy testing for the benefit of the Kempen community.]
