Meet NalaGenetics! This healthtech startup uses genetic testing solutions to help patients get better outcomes. They just raised a $12.6M Series A to take this even further.
No bad stuff. Genetic testing also helps us avoid potentially fatal prescriptions and be aware of risks, like potential disease recurrence or permanent side effects. (Yikes!)
Who cashed in? Intudo Ventures and Vulcan Capital co-led the round. The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR), Dexa International and Diagnos Laboratories also joined in.
👨🏻🔬 How it works
There's a lot of science and technical jargon to this, but in a nutshell, they do:
Genetic testing. Cheaper and more convenient genetic tests.
Analytics. Data-backed recommendations and prescriptions for patients and doctors.
End-to-end services. Their Clinical Decision Support software helps clinics and hospitals test, analyze, report and integrate genetic information into healthcare systems.
