  • Publication number: 20220188901
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for automatically identifying and recommending purchases (e.g., in-app purchases) to a user based on the user's personal genetic profile. In certain embodiments, offers for such purchases are conveniently presented in the same software application (e.g., smartphone app or other computing device application) in which a user securely accesses his or her personalized genetic profile test results. Also presented herein are systems and methods for computer application developers to customize apps for presentation of recommended purchases based on a user's personal genetic profile. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein provide for issuing of genetically tailored notifications to one or more mobile health devices of an individual based on an assessment of the individual's genetic profile. Such notifications, for example, can assist an individual in their adherence to particular recommended regiments, such as workout regimens.

  • Publication number: 20200066374
    Abstract: Reserves of immortalized genetic material are stored in a bank for unlimited genetic analysis, tissue creation, lab-in-a-dish, and the like. The bank serves as a valuable platform for a variety of applications, including biological applications (e.g., genotyping, drug screening, personalized medicine), that require repeated testing, access to a biological sample, and maintenance over a long period of time. For example, a biological sample is stored as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can be used to generate an unlimited supply of genetic material when needed by a user. In this way, for instance, the generation of excess genetic material from additional samples provided by an individual can be avoided and costs to an organization associated with producing genetic material from biological sample can be deferred until necessary.

  • Publication number: 20200027526
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods related to a scalable and platform-agnostic framework that facilitates the creation of personal genetic profile products. In particular, in certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein facilitate the creation, storage, organization, and maintenance (e.g. updating) of data corresponding to the relationships between particular variations that may occur in an individual's DNA (e.g. variants of different specific SNPs) and the health-related phenotypes that they influence. The data stored in this manner can be used as a template not only for presenting personal genetic profile assessments to an individual in an informative and user-friendly manner, but also for the rapid, automated creation of personal genetic profile assessments of a plurality of individuals from data corresponding to genotyping measurements of biological samples provided by the individuals.

  • Publication number: 20180300455
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to record and track, via a graphical user interface, biological samples, and biological material extracted therefrom, used to generate genotyping data. As biological samples are processed in several stages to extract biological material and perform genotyping tests, IDs are assigned to biological samples and biological material for individuals as well as well plates used during processing of the biological samples and the biological material in order to organize the samples and the tests. Biological samples are assigned to well plates for use in extracting biological material. Biological material is assigned to genotyping plates for use in performing genotyping tests. By associating IDs corresponding to biological samples or biological material with IDs for well plates or genotyping plates, respectively, a user can track which extractions and/or tests need to be performed and record which biological samples have been received or genotyping plates analyzed.

  • Publication number: 20180132773
    Abstract: Described herein are various systems, methods, apparatuses, and kits for phlebotomy. In certain embodiments, the phlebotomy kit or system includes a blood collection tube, a needle assembly, a holder for the blood collection tube, a bandage, a tourniquet, a wipe, and an absorbent pad. The disclosed systems, methods, apparatuses, and kits are useful for collecting a single small volume of blood, and collecting of a small volume of blood at remote non-hospital environments.
