Problem
Up to 40% of cancer patients receive suboptimal treatments due to the complexity of navigating genomic testing. Patients struggle to understand their testing and treatment choices because the science around genomics is highly technical, and interpreting precision test results like genome sequencing typically requires specialized expertise.
Solution
Translating Science PBC provides a platform that creates easy-to-understand summaries of genomic testing results, annotated with the latest scientific evidence. The platform overlays current scientific knowledge on patients' genomic test results, empowering them to participate confidently in care decisions. The Precision Medicine Encyclopedia helps patients research treatment options with trustworthy, accessible information about cancer treatments and testing. The Interpreter tool converts complex test results into clear summaries, enabling patients to discuss treatment choices with their physicians. The platform is launching initially for prostate cancer patients with plans to expand to additional cancer types.
Target Audience
Primary users are cancer patients who have undergone or are considering genomic testing and need help understanding their results and treatment options, with launch focus on prostate cancer patients.
