GeneType Multi-Risk Test outreach increasing in clinics and medical practices

 

Our team has now initiated the onboarding process in 24 clinics, a key step in our primary care B2B strategy. Clinics will be able to focus on either single disease or multiple diseases which will include breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, coronary artery disease, prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes.

 

The geneType Multi Risk Test provides a comprehensive solution enabling a better understanding of a patient’s risk of developing one or more of six common serious diseases before onset, accounting for more than 50% of annual mortalities and morbidities. Extremely important when almost half Australians are suffering from at least one chronic health condition. The BIM demonstrated introducing geneType will assist physicians to identify more early stage cancers and serious disease leading to better patient outcomes.

 

Post quarter closing, we announced partnering with Melbourne based Siles Health, a leading Obstetrics and Gynaecology practice active referral national network of more than 1,000 GPs treating more than 15,000 patients annually.
