Vancouver, Canada, Feb 2021—GenXys, a health tech company focused on pharmacogenetic enhanced prescribing automation software, is pleased to announce that it has closed an oversubscribed seed round at $3 million. Led by Green Shield Canada, (GSC), with key investors including TELUS Ventures, Esplanade Ventures, Nimbus Synergies, and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC Capital).
GenXys provides evidence-based medication decision support tools with embedded pharmacogenetics to enable precision prescribing seamlessly at the point of care. Building on recent successes in the Canadian and US markets, the company plans to accelerate their expansion in the North American market meeting the needs of genetic lab companies, health systems and payers who seek to include pharmacogenetics in clinical decision making to improve prescription accuracy and reduce adverse drug events. The award-winning suite of clinical decision support software including TreatGx and ReviewGx is now interoperable with electronic health record systems and is pharmacogenetic test agnostic.
“With the support of our investment partners, we are positioned to accelerate our North American growth plans where digital health automation tools are being embraced enthusiastically by health systems, payers, and patients. The inclusion of pharmacogenetics in prescribing decisions should be a standard of care; our solutions make this a reality. It is imperative to disrupt and transform the centuries old ‘trial and error’ approach to prescribing to provide precision medication options for everyone.” says Karl Pringle, GenXys CEO.
Incorporating biophysical, drug, disease, kidney and liver data, as well as pharmacogenetic information, the software identifies optimal therapeutic options for the individual. Providers, payers, and pharmacogenetic lab companies use GenXys solutions to increase patient safety and improve population health while reducing costs. The recent increase in penalties and litigation are indicating an expectation that pharmacogenetics needs to be more widely incorporated in clinical decision making.
