How it works
It starts around the corner
A pharmacy near you, familiar faces. Request an appointment in the app – or drop by, where the pharmacy offers it.

Your coat stays on
A small prick on the fingertip – the Igloo reader sits right on the counter and measures your value.
A short wait, a quick browse
Usually 5 to 15 minutes, about an hour for the big health check. The reader works, you browse – then your value appears.
Someone looks at it with you
The value appears on the screen and the pharmacy team explains it – in person, in plain words. Questions? Now’s the moment.

Your blood values: three ways
Each way has its own strengths.
As of October 2026, sources below
Stars: comparison per criterion, based on the facts in the table; not an overall verdict.
At the pharmacy with Igloo:
Self-pay; your pharmacy sets the price
Doctor’s practice / lab:
Covered by statutory insurance for medical reasons and the check-up from 35, otherwise self-pay (IGeL), possibly plus consultation and blood draw⁴
Home test by post:
Self-pay, price depends on provider and scope
When is the doctor the better way? If you have symptoms or need a diagnosis. If you want many values at once, the lab can be cheaper per value.
When does a home test fit? When there is no pharmacy near you, or you prefer to take the sample at home.
