Strand Life Sciences, a leading genomics company, has launched StrandOmics Portal. This is an advanced digital tool made to improve the diagnosis of rare diseases. This tool provides clinicians with a comprehensive view of genetic variants making it easier for its use in better diagnosis and hastening the time to diagnosis of rare genetic disorders. This tool is expected to bring about changes in the future in the area of personalized medicine by facilitating depth of analyses when it comes to genetic details that could significantly affect treatment strategies.

Apart from that, Strand Life Sciences has introduced a divided-cost genetic testing initiative to economically less privileged patients so that they can have some of the critical diagnostic services made available to many more. This initiative is likely to create a space between advanced genetic diagnostics and affordability bringing people closer to health service coverage.

Key Features of the StrandOmics Portal

Several features in the StrandOmics Portal will simplify genetic diagnostics for health professionals. Some significant functionality are:

• Expedited and Exact Genetic Insights: Medical practitioners promptly have extensive biomolecule information available to them for timely diagnosis with high accuracy.  
• Extended Genetic Variant Assessment: The tool allows the physician to evaluate extra genetic variations independently, improving assessments of genetic variant patterns. 
• Improved Prenatal Diagnostics: The platform also supports improved collaboration among specialists when it comes to prenatal genetic testing for early interventions of inheritance diseases.

Strand Life Sciences' Commitment to Innovation

Dr. Ramesh Hariharan, CEO and Co-Founder of Strand Life Sciences, reiterated how dedicated the company is to innovation in genetic diagnostics. In his words: 
 
"We are dedicated to improving genetic diagnostics and making it available to everybody. The launch of the StrandOmics Portal is a major step forward in empowering doctors with cutting-edge genetic insights to fight rare diseases. We will keep investing in technology and resources to make genetic testing more accessible and impactful."

Impact on the Country’s Healthcare System

The StrandOmics Portal is a novel project geared towards adding advanced genomics into mainstream diagnostics aimed at influencing healthcare. The goal is to lessen the wait for actual diagnoses, enhance preventive care, promote health equity, stimulate medical research, and improve data sharing among consortia of countries with the advantage of making the country a global leader in genomic medicine and rare diseases.

It will also provide a facility for immediate access to real-time genetic data, thereby shortening the diagnostic timeline to weeks or days instead of years. An early diagnosis and prompt intervention to avoid disease progression under newborn screening and prenatal diagnostics are the benefits derived from early identification of genetic disorders. The portal will also facilitate interaction among medical researchers and geneticists for improved medical advancement and more targeted therapy.

A Step Toward a Future Without Undiagnosed Rare Diseases

Strand Life Sciences has transformed healthcare using the StrandOmics Portal, which is an instrument in their armory of genetic diagnostics and precision medicine. An estimated 300 million people worldwide suffer from rare diseases, making this technology transformational in terms of improved patient outcomes, better medical research, and more inclusive healthcare. As this technology becomes more pervasive in healthcare practice, rare disease diagnostics look bright.
