Our Vision
Enabling personalized
medicine for you
Our DNA is unique and it is the most precious thing we have. GenomSys wants everyone to protect it and leverage it to truly enjoy personalized medicine to his/her own uniqueness.
Thanks to the innovative technologies developed by our engineers and bio-informaticians, today everybody can access their own genomic data, store it safely in their smartphone, order analyses, read the results and share them with their doctor.
A true digital revolution which makes personalized medicine accessible to everyone.
Precision Medicine
One-size-fits-all has been the basis of medicine – thanks to advancements in medicine and genomics, that’s no more the case, as nobody is equal to anyone else, and drugs act differently based on DNA. GenomSys enables everyone to access and check its DNA whenever and wherever they need it.
Bring Genomics into the Digital Age
Thanks to the development of the fully digital MPEG-G standard and its compliant analytical tools, GenomSys takes genomics truly into the digital age. From the dungeons of labs and remote servers, DNA analysis is brought to everyone’s smartphone, with a user-friendly interface, simple and easy as watching a movie.
Security and Interoperability
GenomSys leverages MPEG-G built-in encryption to ensure that everyone’s most sensitive information is carefully protected – and in their own hands!, while adopting an international standard to guarantee full interoperability and hence to future-proof both customers’ data and its own solutions.
