Projectdetails

Introduction

Dysbiosis (the imbalance of the microbial community that resides within and upon us) can affect health and represents a risk factor for the genesis and evolution of a plethora of chronic diseases and pathologies. The analysis of the microbiome is necessary to detect, assess, and monitor it.

Challenges in Microbiome Analysis

Nevertheless, microbiome analysis and its application to the clinical field is very complex, expensive, and time-consuming.

MICK: A Solution

We created MICK, the first digital decision support system helping healthcare professionals in integrating microbiome analysis into clinical practice.

Features of MICK

MICK's automated platform:

  • Analyzes microbiome raw data in real-time
  • Provides the highest accuracy
  • Translates data into evidence-based analytics, insights, and practical recommendations

Benefits for Customers

MICK allows customers (clinical centres and diagnostics labs) to scale their service offering to patients without any upfront investment, determining:

  1. Up to 75% cost reduction
  2. Faster turnaround time (TAT) compared to existing solutions
