GENOMEZ The PCR Screening Test RE-WIRED
The COVID-19 Pandemic exposed an imbalance between Molecular Diagnostic infrastructure capacity & Demand , Genomez a Project started at MIT COVID-19 Beat The Pandemic Hackathon Named then COVID-19 Trace Coin evolved to Ggenomez, Empowering PCR testing Capacity by integrating Data science using AI, ML Technologies to multiply capacity of existing molecular laboratory infrastructure between 5 to 10 folds for high test positive rates
Pooling Test strategies did not achieve its potential due to false positive results as one positive masks true negative samples with positive interpretation which mandates second run of pooling or individual testing, Known as Reopening of Positive Pool Groups this is a challenge to MoDx setup due to limited resources of skilled personnel and the 2nd challenge to recall individuals for retest.
Lab automation set the stage for the solution developed by Genomez transforming Pooling Test into one run with application from infectious diseases to cancer detection.
as COVID-19 Testing Will continue to be required even as vaccination is rolled out to protect those who are vulnerable a testing solution will be required to reduce cost of the test this achieved a plateau as prices dropped significantly from initially 20USD on average at the beginning of the pandemic to 5USD or less per test as a transfer price from manufacturers.
Even with existing pricing at 5 USD with chain of Distribution and Service cost on average the test in Europe is 18 Euros for example in Germany and 100 USD in the United States and 50 USD in Developing Nations.
our objective to decimate testing price via increasing capacity 5 folds in high test positive rates as much 5% and 10 folds if test positive rates falls below 1% test positive rate.
The Solution Developed by Genomez has other use cases e.g. Sepsis Diagnosis a World Health Organization Priority Status where MoDx test cost from manufacturer between 65 to as much 130 USD decimating this will make MoDx for Sepsis very competitive against blood culture from cost basis and reduces testing time to just under three hours saving lives by 80% of 50 Million individuals affected annually.
Genomez Solution provides PCR Test Pooling Strategy transforming PCR Pooling Test from Multistep PCR step process to Identify True Positive into one single run with zero false positive and zero false negative in one single run.
Genomez Proposed solution uses 3 elements of AI,ML algorithms a dynamically design pooling strategy with Zero False Positive & No false Negative, Maintaining Sensitivity & Specificity of the Molecular Diagnostic Tests to be used.
Where conventional Pooling Test which need to re-opened if one true positive mask other true negative samples via re-pooling, individual re-testing shall be avoided using our solution data-sets of initial runs taking in consideration high test positive rates to reach maximum pooling testing capacity.
Building am innovative solution maximizing lab capacity requires most advanced technologies to capitalize on networking effect, using DLT Blockchain on SaaS Model with plug and play functionality transform any lab from 1x to 30x in seconds with a click of a button via internet connectivity.
Genomez business model makes the solution exponentially scalable and versatile based on its modular nature without dependence on intermediaries for fulfilment nor for payment collection each run can reduce cost by 80-90% against small that has ROI in Saving exceeding 25600%.
The Use of AI & ML with Data Sets using Data Science was developed to address different use cases from COVID-19 , Sepsis diagnosis partnering with a leader in Sepsis MoDx Diagnotic Test Manufacturer Cube Dx GmbH and our MoDx Technology partner in Genomez.this can be combined with AI ML & Deep learning that can identify risk of suspecting sepsis
Such a combination will reduce the use of broad spectrum empiric antibiotic use to just one dose followed by targeted antibiotics those are three main components of actions required thus reducing the risk of an emerging Anti-Microbial Resistance AMR (Min34:38) WHO DG Address on WHO global Action Plan for AMR(Min4:00) Action Plan(14:10)
The increase MoDx infrastructure capacity in Many Countries who lacked it before the pandemic has set the global stage if such testing capacity especially when Genomez solution increases 10 to 30 folds in combating Tuberculosis. The Molecular Diagnostic MoDx in TB reduces time for Diagnosis from Weeks to hours and will curb the Spread of TB XDR & MDR a major challenge emerging of AMR Anti-Microbial Resistance in Tuberculosis Management, Given that genotypic tests can rapidly detect the prominent mechanisms of resistance, such as the rpoB mutation for rifampicin resistance, we are facing new challenges with the observation of false-resistance (mutations not conferring resistance) and false-susceptibility (mutations different from the common mechanism) results.
in addition Genomez solution could be implemented on Liquid Biopsy of Circulating Nucleic Acid Fragments (cnf) form tumors and tested by PCR testing for Cancer Early detection where the test positive rate are extremely low thus the potential of increased capacity could reach thirty folds thus reducing cost for National screening program for up to 50 possible tumors using The Galleri Test developed by a company called Grail by 97%.
- Strengthen disease surveillance, early warning predictive systems, and other data systems to detect, slow, or halt future disease outbreaks.
Molecular Diagnostic Technologies is changing the golden standards of disease surveillance, Early warning for Predictive systems providing the Most accurate data in pathogen identification which will slow hault future disease outbreaks.
But for Many countries including developed countries capacity was a problem at the beginning of the pandemic, Now this is still a problem for underdeveloped nations.
Genomez Focused on Molecular Diagnostic Gold Standard The PCR Test and empowering it with AI & ML as well Deep Learning to increase capacity by plug and play business model multiplying laboratories capacities between 5 to 10 folds by click of a button
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model.
Our Team Worked on the following
1- Ideation process was made on MIT COVID19 Challenge
2- Developing AI & ML Algorithms and hosted it on AWS thus the Algorithms are TLR level 6-7 By Dr Alexey Gusarov & with Supervision of Professor Alexey S. the Advisor of our company
3- we carried out clinical validation for the solution involving two positive out of 42 samples in India via our co founder Dr Carlos Justin where testing Sensitivity and specificity was made
4- We Have tested the SARS-CoV-2 RT PCR test Developed by our Partner Cube Dx and we received confirmation of those results at X Prize under Viral Testing inc. A semifinalist on X-Prize COVID-19 Testing Challenge , and the test is CE IVD and Approved for use in EU
5- Received First runner up MITEF Arab Startup Competition 2021 Idea Track and 3rd Place on MITEF Saudi Arabia 2020-2021
- A new application of an existing technology
Tapestry Pooling Test strategy concept has been present for some time its the adoption AI, ML Algorithms on pooling strategy innovative , Genomez solution one run pooling test with zero false positive and no false negative integrated to web 3.0 in plug and play model using DLT Blockchain smart contract makes it innovative solution eleminating the need for distribution channels and increasing lab capacity by plug and play and click to increase lab capacity 5 to 10 folds with cost saving ROI up to 25600%.
many used bloom filter in pooling strategy but this did not eliminate a second run to reopen pooled samples it increased efficiency of the pooling test
