Market Problem: People are struggling to personalize personal healthcare

Today, many people do not know which genetic and chronic diseases they are at risk of, leading to the inability to proactively prevent and treat them early. This lack of knowledge often results in a reliance on traditional diagnostic and treatment approaches that do not consider an individual’s unique genetic makeup.

Therefore, people may end up using medications that are not tailored to their specific genetic requirements, potentially causing adverse reactions.
