Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you a significant event for us: Sequoia and the international network of medical laboratories, INVITRO, are now partners!
This is the most significant collaboration for Sequoia since signing the memorandum of cooperation and understanding with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
From Idea to Implementation
The idea of partnering with medical laboratories arose long ago, even during the implementation of the first version of the "Regular Checkup" functionality.
I remind you, the "Regular Checkup" functionality helps users determine the necessary tests according to their age to ensure their health is in order.
However, back then, I didn't quite understand how to implement it. After all, at that time, the functionality was just a simple list. To be honest, calling it a full-fledged functionality was difficult. We realized this and decided to improve it.
In the second version, we added the ability to mark completed tests and synchronize them with the calendar. Sequoia automatically reminded the user of the need for retesting. This significantly facilitated the process of caring for health, freeing users from the need to remember all test dates.
After that, the idea of partnership took on more specific outlines. But our ambassador and urologist Ruslan Doroshevich gave it the final push.
During my visit to the "Forestmed" clinic, I noticed the INVITRO stand and shared my idea with Ruslan. He supported the idea, noting that their medical center has long been cooperating with Invitro, and said he could introduce us. Of course, I agreed.
Invitro enthusiastically accepted our partnership proposal and invited us to their office. They even conducted a tour specifically for us. They showed us the laboratory and explained the technological process from sample collection to disposal. After that, they invited us to the conference room to discuss the terms of cooperation.
Benefits of Partnership for Sequoia
Partnering with INVITRO is a big step in Sequoia's development.
Collaboration with such a reputable organization is recognition of us as a medical project and proof that the four years dedicated to its creation have not been in vain.
It also opens up new prospects for partnerships with other companies.
Benefits for Sequoia Users
For our users, this means a 10%* discount on laboratory tests at all INVITRO branches in the Republic of Belarus. To get the discount, you just need to mention the promo code "Sequoia" or show the coupon on your phone screen, which can be found in the app under the "Checkup" tab.
*The discount applies to all types of laboratory tests, except for HIV, microbiological, cytological, allergological, and genetic tests, as well as COVID-19 tests, PanTum Detect, ultrasound services, and gynecological services. The collection of biomaterial is paid for separately. The discount cannot be combined with other offers and promotions.
What's Next?
We don't plan to stop here. In the near future, we have:
- Signing partnership agreements with INVITRO in other countries where their network is present. There are only seven of them.
- Expanding the functionality of the "Regular Checkup." We will add the ability to specify the location of the test, leave notes, and attach test results.
- Partnering with medical clinics to provide men with the opportunity to schedule appointments directly from the application.
We are proud to have the opportunity to work together with INVITRO for the benefit of people's health.
If you are also interested in a partnership, please write to us. We are always open to communication.
With respect and care for men's health,
Denis Galka,
