The partnership will see seven of the brand's [warehouse retail pharmacies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-pharmacy-clinic) in Austin, Texas offering the service, which only requires a pea-sized sample of blood that's drawn from the fingertip for greater efficiency. The blood test will be available for common diagnostic tests and comes as part of the company's first collaborating with a national retailer in the US. CEO of Babson David Stein spoke on the Sam’s Club and BetterWay partnership saying, "BetterWay lowers the barriers to testing, making it easier for people to take charge of their health. We are excited to collaborate with Sam’s Club and increase access to actionable health insights.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 38% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Consumer-accessible Diagnostics:** This trend emphasizes the growing demand for convenient and accessible diagnostic services, enabling consumers to manage their health with minimal disruption. - **In-store Healthcare Services:** Retail spaces are transforming into hubs for healthcare services, offering innovative solutions like blood tests within non-traditional medical settings. - **Microsampling Technology:** The advancement of microsampling technology is redefining how medical samples are collected, offering painless and efficient diagnostic methods. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare Retail:** Merging retail environments with healthcare services opens new avenues for consumer engagement and preventive care. - **Diagnostic Technology:** Innovations in diagnostic technology are creating more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly health assessment tools. - **Pharmaceutical Distribution:** The inclusion of clinical services within retail settings is reshaping pharmaceutical distribution and the role of pharmacies in healthcare delivery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Blood Testing Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-blood-testing.md) - [Automated Vision Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-bot-kiosks.md) - [Automated Eye Exams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-and-sams-club.md) - [Robotic Retail Management Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inventory-scan.md) - [Home Blood Test Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ro.md) - [Retailer-Led Healthcare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walmart-better-care-services.md) - [Retailer Pet Insurance Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spot-pet-insurance.md) - [Accessible Health Diagnostics Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-simply-fit.md) - [App-Supported Seamless Checkouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sams-club-4.md)
