“There are more than 25 million genetic tests conducted every year – and that number is doubling yearly – while there are only 10 genetic counselors per million population. To avoid long waits to speak with human counselors, patients are turning to random online searches to get questions answered, which only results in more confusion for the obvious reasons. Physicians are also looking for ways to educate patients on appropriate genetic tests. OptraHEALTH has invented GeneFAX™ to address this dilemma for patients as well as physicians. We are proud to be a market leader for ‘AI in Genetic Health’ and look forward to increasing our reach using Azure Marketplace,” said Dr. Gauri Naik, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, OptraHEALTH. “This collaboration will dramatically enhance our reach in conversational AI services offered in the genetic health industry,” she added further.
