The Gene Companion system automatically helps to enhance your quality of life by providing real-time information and education on your medications and how they could lead to any potential adverse drug reaction (ADR). We consider the following attributes for determination based on your specific health profile and genetic makeup:
The result is a real-time report indicating how your current health profile, medications, medical history, known allergies, and lifestyle may interact with your DNA. You can easily share this report with your physician so that your care team can make the absolute best prescribing decisions. In addition, our system can be used for over-the-counter medications by quickly entering the medication in your smartphone. You can immediately share any adverse drug warnings with your in-store pharmacist before purchasing a medication that might not be the best match for you.
We update our system when research studies achieve a sufficient scientific evidence threshold demonstrating a relationship between how a person's genes may impact their metabolism or may respond to a drug. Since this happens in real time on your smartphone, you will always have the latest information. This constant improvement enables us to become your trusted companion and a more valuable resource over your lifetime.
