Mast Group Ltd. has recently launched an exciting new development: the MAST® FIT Aid, designed to enhance the accessibility of the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), when patients present with lower GI symptoms in primary care or as a triage test in secondary care. This innovative tool aims to bridge the gap in healthcare inequalities by supporting individuals who face visual and physical challenges ultimately increasing compliance in under-served populations.
The MAST® FIT aid features a secure bottle stand for effortless accessibility, a central channel for reliable, ambidextrous bottle closure and functional tactile elements including a raised orientation marker and QR code outline guiding the user to comprehensive online resources. Additionally, the FIT aid displays RNIB-approved uncontracted Braille and comes with accessible printed instructions featuring large text and high-contrast images.
This innovation underscores a significant stride toward reducing healthcare disparities, ensuring that every patient, regardless of visual or physical abilities, can participate in FIT testing confidently and independently. The MAST® FIT aid not only facilitates a simple and efficient FIT testing, but also reinforces the values of inclusivity in healthcare.
