Clinical Dx Showcase:
Genetika+

Genetika+ personalizes treatment in the mental health space, initially focusing on depression. The Genetika+ platform uses innovative technology to predict the best drug treatment for each patient, enabling faster treatment, fewer side effects, and lower dosing.

Brain in a Dish: Personalizing Treatment in Depression
Major depression is a leading cause of health-related burden globally, further exacerbated by Covid-19. Despite the availability of many antidepressant on the market, most patients do not effectively respond to the prescribed treatment. Genetika+’s RxMine platform converts patients' blood cells into neurons, which in turn are used to screen for the optimal drug for each individual. By combining the patient’s genetics and medical history into an AI-based algorithm, a tailored report describes the optimal drug for each patient.
