At-Home Testing is the Future, but Lab APIs are Stuck in the Past

The rise of telemedicine and virtual care options have primed at-home testing to make a significant impact on the future of healthcare. 70% of today’s medical decisions depend on laboratory test results, but lagging lab APIs hinder the widespread launch of remote diagnostics.  Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a major increase in telemedicine usage, including a 154% increase in telehealth visits during the last week of March 2020 alone.

by Dr George Busby, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Allelica 04/06/2022 Leave a Comment

Challenges and Potential of Implementing Polygenic Risk Scores in US Healthcare Systems

The promise of personalized medicine is a world in which interventions, screening, and therapeutics are targeted to those most likely to get the disease. Polygenic risk scores will help society reach this ambition by accurately assessing the contribution that one’s DNA makes to disease risk.  When Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that ‘all men are created equal,’ he captured the essential concept of equality on which the US Constitution is based. Although no one would

Now the healthcare sector faces a new challenge. The so-called “Great Resignation” is causing workers to leave their

Why Telemedicine Isn’t A Temporary Fix — It’s The Future

In March 2020, many office workers packed up their bags under the mandate of their employers, assuming they’d be working from home for a few weeks so the coronavirus could “blow over.” Fast-forward two years: many of those same employees have yet to step foot back into their old offices, and some never will again.  A similar trend is playing out in healthcare.
