“Our research determined that the wide range of tests that Pathway offers are at the forefront of the genetic revolution we are seeing in healthcare today that is driving the trend towards predictive medicine,” said Eduardo Cárdenas, Salud Interactiva’s Chief Medical and Operations Officer, “Physicians and users within our network will now have affordable access to information about how their own genetic blueprint impacts their health.”

“Our tests reflect the tens of billions of dollars of research that has been invested by governments, academic institutions, and private industry to understand the health impacts of the human genome. We now know that our genetic makeup often has a direct link to things like our risk for cancer and dozens of other diseases, how we respond to medications, or which diet and exercise programs will be most effective.
