Patients
70% of medications are ineffective or cause side effects.
If you’re struggling to find the right medication, you’re not alone. For many, finding the right medication for your mental health can feel really
overwhelming, but at Gene S we aim to change that.
At Gene S we take the guess work out of mental health treatment.
Everyone’s DNA is unique, which means we all process medications differently.
Using our advanced genetic testing platform called Rosa, our first product RosaMind can identify which mental health medications, and what dosage, will be the most effective based on your DNA.
Traditional prescribing often involves a trial-and-error approach, which can lead to months (or even years) of switching medications, managing side effects, and facing emotional and financial stress. Our approach aims to personalise medication management, making your treatment more effective from day one.
How does Gene S work?
Step 1
Talk To Your Doctor
Step 2
Provide A Sample
Step 3
Your DNA Is Analysed
Step 4
Get Your Results
Ask whether Gene S testing is right for your mental health plan.
Your doctor will collect a simple cheek swab (saliva or blood samples can also be used if this is preferred)
Your sample is processed by a certified laboratory using the Gene S test, RosaMind, and a personalised report is generated for your doctor.
The report outlines for your doctor which medications and doses are most suitable for you, based on your unique DNA.
Understanding Your Results
Our RosaMind test only analyses the genes and the gene changes related to how your body metabolises medications. It does not look for or diagnose any other health conditions.
Your doctor will receive a personalised report outlining which medication and dosages are best suited to you. With more than 4.5 million Australians prescribed mental health medications, our goal is to ensure you’re receiving the right treatment from day one.
