RetinalGeniX Technologies, Inc. Acquires DNA/GPS Inc.

Published

on

PETALUMA, Calif., July 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RetinalGeniX™ Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:RTGN) (“RetinalGeniX” or the “Company”), announced today the acquisition of DNA/GPS Inc., a pharmacogenetics company based in Tampa, Florida and founded by Dr. Larry Perich. RetinalGeniX now has the rights to the platform technology designed by Dr. Perich, which allows healthcare providers to use retinal imaging and genetic mapping to monitor and screen patients from their homes to provide diagnoses of systemic diseases including heart disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and more.

“We believe this platform to be a breakthrough in advanced retinal imaging and genetic mapping that could become a new standard for the diagnosis of systemic disease and could replace expensive and time-consuming procedures such as CT, MRI, and PET at a much lower cost. The RetinalGeniX DNA/GPS platform offers an opportunity to bring testing away from laboratories and hospitals and into primary care centers, where it could be handled by practitioners at a cost that is a fraction of that of a CT scan, an MRI or an echo machine,” said RetinalGeniX CEO Jerry Katzman, MD.

The new platform is being designed to enable us to determine the right patients to screen and should assist healthcare providers to choose the most effective early interventions. This is possible because manifestations of disease are most often seen in the eye. It is widely acknowledged that the eyes are a window to systemic health. It is possible to observe correlations between damage in the retina and kidney disease, high blood pressure and heart problems.

The emergence of high-resolution imaging in modalities and the progress of artificial intelligence, in particular, deep learning, have opened up new pathways to potentially identify science and protectors of systemic disease through the retina.

“We welcome Dr. Perich to our advisory board as a tremendous asset to our initiative to prevent blindness, promote home monitoring and establish retinal imaging and pharmacogenetics as the new standard,” said Dr. Katzman.

With the guidance of RetinalGeniX DNA/GPS, the company intends to focus on patients that have genetic predisposition to multiple systemic diseases.

When Evaluating Vendors, 64% of Manufacturers Surveyed Cite Strong Onboarding and Ongoing Support as Crucial

when-evaluating-vendors,-64%-of-manufacturers-surveyed-cite-strong-onboarding-and-ongoing-support-as-crucial

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global technology intelligence firm ABI Research recently completed its 2024 Manufacturers’ Technology Adoption & Attitudes Survey, a comprehensive survey of 461 manufacturing decision-makers across the United States, Malaysia, and Germany to uncover real-world attitudes, adoption trends, and valuable insights that reflect the current technological landscape within the manufacturing industry. When asked which criteria were most important when evaluating a new solution or vendor, 64% of respondents ranked a robust onboarding process with training, resources, and post-sales follow-up as the most critical. 

“Improving quality and productivity levels are key objectives for survey respondents. However, an overriding concern is how to deploy the technologies to achieve those objectives. Manufacturers require assurance that they will receive adequate support and training resources to quickly adapt, along with ongoing follow-up from the vendor,” explains Michael Larner, Distinguished Analyst at ABI Research.
Vendors often prioritize outlining potential investment outcomes to provide evidence of return on investment. Benefits will take longer to accrue if users cannot fully understand and properly utilize the solution. To avoid this, the vendor or their partners must be present during the initial launch, provide training resources that enable users to map the solution to their workflows, and adhere to a strict follow-up plan with the customer. These measures will require investment in the post-sales process, emphasizing partners’ education so that they effectively represent the vendor in onboarding processes.
The survey further revealed that recruiting and retaining staff is challenging for manufacturers. The lack of skills underscores the concerns not only regarding deploying technologies but also fully grasping the opportunities that digital technologies offer.  “Hand holding by the vendor will be required when manufacturers are devising Proofs of Concept (PoCs), evaluating suppliers, and implementing solutions at their facilities,” Larner concludes.
These findings are from ABI Research’s Industrial and Manufacturing Survey 1H 2024: What Are Respondents Looking for from Vendors? report. This report is part of the company’s Industrial & Manufacturing Technologies research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.
