How do new tests get approved?

New medical tests, like this urine test, undergo rigorous trials to ensure they are safe and effective. Initially, they are tested on smaller groups, then larger trials are conducted. If successful, they can be approved for wider use by health bodies like the NHS, potentially transforming how conditions are diagnosed.
