One test for all diseases in one sample
- Classically, patients present because of “malaise”; they do not feel well.
- A doctor must guess if the malaise is caused by an infection, or perhaps by mutated patient DNA.
- In the developed world, doctors order a molecular test (@ $200) based on their guess.
- If the guess is wrong and the test is negative, they must guess again (another $200).
- Firebird develops technologies that allow a single test on a single sample to detect all medically relevant targets for the cost of detecting one.
