Routine, Actionable Dx Reports from NGS Runs
GQ-Dx is a genomic decision support system used by molecular laboratories to produce diagnostic reports from next generation sequencing (NGS) runs. It transforms NGS diagnostics from slow, labor-intensive odysseys into daily, healthcare operations.
NGS Dx brings dramatic opportunities to molecular labs and healthcare. Labs can combine and apply far more data to diagnostics, incorporate new discoveries more fully, and query the clinical utility of variants more powerfully. The upgrade to NGS provides efficiencies such as the consolidation of multiple molecular tests into one, the consolidation of multiple machines and processes into one, and a natural expansion of test menu services. Overall, NGS applied to routine molecular diagnostics can result in better, cheaper, and faster diagnosis and therefore improved, more targeted therapy.
The underlying GQ-Dx data engine supports over 20 native science/medical fields, with the ability to inherit, map, and enable querying on external fields. New data types such as modified boundary definitions or whole new phenotype associations can now be fields for querying. Labs can fully engage their own and emerging findings into their testing process.
