The Problem
Current DNA diagnostics are a bottleneck between patients and their effective treatment.
Time
Current DNA diagnostics take too long. By the time the results get back, the patient may have already gotten worse and the window of opportunity for effective treatment will have passed.
£
Cost
Current DNA diagnostics cost too much. They cannot or are not used when they are needed due to their expense.
Logistics
Samples must be transported to specialised facilities for DNA diagnostics to be performed.
Equipment
DNA diagnostics currently require expensive and specialised equipment.
Highly trained staff
DNA diagnostics currently require specialised staff to run the tests and interpret their results.
No highly trained staff
As simple to use as a pregnancy test. No extra equipment is required.
