Probleemstelling

The current system does not reach people who are at increased risk of developing genetic disease, such as breast, ovarian and colon cancers and sudden heart death among people in their 40'ties.

Persons are not aware of their risks and doctors do not have time to include the process of mapping inheritance during their consultations. Moreover, doctors are lacking digital tools and databases are extremely fragmented so that seemingly 'rare' information does not get shared. Hence existing knowledge stays secret. Because of this, people are walking around as ticking time bombs or get sub-optimal treatment. We are waiting for them to develop disease.

Oplossing

An E-health platform to provide global access to genetic services. We inform and empower persons and families and facilitate improved genetic decision-making in healthcare.

Organisatie

iGEN global foundation

We believe that no person should die from treatable and preventable disease. We believe that by knowing your genes, you can prevent disease to occur. We believe that every person should be aware and informed about their genetic profile. And that access to genetic expertise care should become available worldwide. It is the most powerful information to provide personalised high quality care, to work on targeted prevention and find new benchmarks for developing new medication.
