Every Patient Is Unique
Gain insight to provide optimal care
Patients’ response to medications is not uniform. Not every drug works for every patient. Individual patients may respond differently to the same drug in terms of:
- Efficacy
- Side effects
- Toxicity

Preemptive PGx
We are a pioneer in preemptive pharmacogenomics (PGx). Our comprehensive PGx solutions have the potential to help clinicians and healthcare organizations:
- Reduce ADRs; resulting in fewer ER visits and lower mortality rates
- Reduce length of stay (LOS)
- Lower readmission rate
- Reduce total cost per discharge
- Improve patient’s drug adherence

Institute Whole Pharmacogenomics Scan (WPS)
Interrogate a whole range of PGx variants in an individual patient and preemptively retrieve comprehensive PGx information for later use
Allow patient’s PGx profile to be available before clinical decisions are made regarding future medications
Embrace potentially life-saving clinical decisions regarding best treatment options

Case example
A leading U.S. pediatric hospital:
- Utilizing preemptive PGx for patient care using WPS and its predecessor since 20116,7
- Nearly 4,500 patients have benefited from the program as of November 20188
