基因檢測的行業背景

基因檢測相當於一把揭開人體健康奧秘的“鑰匙”，它可以幫助人們更好地瞭解自己的身體狀況，並採取相應的預防和治療措施，同時也為醫學研究藥物開發提供了重要的基礎。

Words from Chairman:

Dear fellow members & industry partners,

After the pandemic, the healthcare industry is adapting to a new landscape. All individuals became more health conscious while the healthcare costs are getting more costly. To improve the overall health of society and all individuals, including our beloved friends and family; the healthcare industry should adopt value-based care models and shift to non-acute care settings.

DNA tests can provide information about genetic predispositions to health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer which enables us to take preventive measures with pharmacogenetic approach. More personalized and effective treatment could be planned from the results of the respond to different medications.

I hope all of you can join me and my panel members to let the latest technology from big genome data to bring a healthier and brighter future to the society and all our loved ones.

Best Regards,

Jacqueline Fung。

Vision:

The healthcare industry now focuses more on treatment-oriented services. However, to improve the long-term wellness of society, we need to emphasis more on preventive care.

DNA is the key to the future and success. We envision that through WGS technology, we can have a brighter future while utilizing less resources both financially and in time. With different panels of WGS based DNA test reports, we can make decisions during different stages of life in distinctive aspects that post significant effect to all of us.

We envision a future where Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a cornerstone of healthcare in Hong Kong, driving personalized medicine and enhancing health and wellness in the society. To ensure that WGS based is accessible to everyone in Hong Kong. Revolutionizing healthcare by integrating WGS based DNA test into routine medical practice to enable precise and personalized healthcare treatment.

Mission:

Our Mission is to collaborate all healthcare providers, industry partners and policymakers to recognize the importance of genomic science as well as the application to the society. Also, to increase awareness and educate the public how genomic science can help to plan a better future in health and wellness.
