Projectdetails

Introduction

Major depressive disorder affects around 300 million people globally and is the second leading cause of disability, with up to 14 years of life lost per patient and an annual burden of up to €170 billion to the EU.

Current Treatment Landscape

Despite numerous available drugs, the following issues persist:

  • 75% of patients do not receive adequate treatment.
  • 63% try multiple medications.
  • A third do not respond after two rounds of treatment.

This trial-and-error approach is destructive to patients, time-consuming for physicians, and expensive for health care systems.

RxMine Solution

RxMine revolutionizes this process by combining innovative technologies:

  1. Stem cell technology
  2. Genetics
  3. Neurobiology
  4. High-throughput screening
  5. Machine learning

These technologies are used to test multiple antidepressants and screen drug effects using a patient-specific brain-in-a-dish model.

Expected Outcomes

RxMine identifies the optimal antidepressant for each patient and potentially reduces:

  • Hospitalizations by 89%
  • Emergency-room visits by 71%
  • Depression-related healthcare costs by 40%

This could lead to savings of up to €6,000 per patient per year.
