Proactive healthcare
A wellness visit general health check is an opportunity to consider your patient’s ongoing health and motivate them to maintain healthy lifestyles and compliant screening practices.
Let geneType™ be a tool to enable preventative care discussions with your patient.
Engage your patient’s understanding of their personal risk of disease by communicating:
- Value in screening compliance (based on current screening guidelines)
- Available supplemental screening options
- Available risk reducing medication options
- Available lifestyle modifications to reduce disease-risk (e.g. smoking cessation, improved nutrition, reducing alcohol consumption, increased physical activity)
Incorporate geneType™ into your patient’s next wellness visit
While many risk assessments focus on family history and heritable genetic markers, geneType™ Multi-Risk Test goes beyond this by incorporating clinical, familial and genetic factors that affect disease risk.
Your patient’s risk assessment can then be used to develop a personalized, preventative health plan that includes screening, risk-reducing medication and/or lifestyle interventions.
Actionable clinical insights
geneType™ reports reflect the tests that you requested on your patient’s clinical questionnaire. Reports are structured to make the results easy to interpret and communicate to your patients.
Reports include:
- Snapshot of your patient’s absolute risk scores
- Interpretation of what their risk scores mean in the context of current guidelines
- Polygenic risk score indicating your patient’s “baseline” risk for disease
- Information about modifiable risk factors
- The types of disease-specific screening and risk-reduction interventions available to your patient
