El equipo <span lang="en-US">MARS</span> creo un sistema que pone los resultados de las pruebas en el hogar en un formato estándar utilizado por los profesionales de la salud. Esa información luego fluye hacia bases de datos seguras que los investigadores y los equipos de salud pública ya saben como usar. <span lang="en-US">MakeMyTestCount.org</span> es la parte frontal de ese sistema, lo que nos permite informar de manera segura nuestros resultados en el hogar, y unicamente incluir tanta información personal como nos sentamos comodos de compartir.
