  • Project Description

    Diagnosing hypothyroidism is more complex than people realize. If your Thyroid Function Test comes back within the normal range, and you still feel symptoms this is because doctors use a generic scale for treatment. Treating patients on a generic scale in turn leads to patients feeling symptomatic even if they are in normal range. This leads to complications in the doctor patient relationship. Leaving the patients frustrated and eventually giving up on treating their hypothyroidism. ThyroidHQ is fixing this problem by offering patients personalized Thyroid Function Test scales along with their optimal zone where they feel best. This will allow doctors to be better equipped to diagnose patients so they can live a symptom free optimal health life.
