From Vox Markets:
"Genedrive has hit another hit milestone in the development of its CYP2C19 ID test kit, which, when available, will provide superior patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
The demand for Genedrive's test kit is incredibly high due to its critical importance in addressing a significant health crisis. In the UK alone, there are over 100,000 cases of strokes, 60,000 transient ischaemic attacks, and a staggering 38,000 associated deaths each year. Moreover, on a global scale, there is a substantial market opportunity for Genedrive as strokes rank as the second leading cause of death worldwide.
Genedrive's test kit also offers huge cost-saving benefits, as evidenced by the significant financial impact of strokes on the NHS, with the annual cost of strokes alone surpassing £3 billion within the healthcare system. However, when considering broader factors such as the societal cost, including the loss of productivity among stroke survivors of working age and the extensive hours dedicated by unpaid caregivers, the overall economic burden escalates to £26 billion per year.
During a time of unprecedented pressure on the NHS, stripping out the cost of ineffective prescriptions and reducing the burden of avoidable illness and adverse drug reactions could present a substantial cost-saving opportunity, in addition to optimising the desired outcome and safety of the care each individual patient receives."
