The Verdosome Approach

To Nutrigenomic Testing & Pharmacogenetic Analysis

Beyond COVID-19 and mental health testing, Verdosome can also provide a detailed report of the patient’s drug response, highlighting his or her ability to process a number of medications. This is critical information that can help prescribers identify substances that may not deliver therapeutic benefit and consider alternatives that may contribute to enhanced outcomes. Also included are dietary, vitamin and supplement considerations, offering physician-developed guidance that may contribute to the patient’s treatment path, with an emphasis on natural, non-pharmaceutical approaches wherever possible.

Advanced COVID-19 Testing

Ultra-accurate COVID-19 detection is achievable through the use of mass spectrometry, a technology that can detect significantly smaller viral loads than the more commonly used PCR equipment employed by most laboratories. With this testing method, patients will better understand their current viral status, which can help ensure that asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients take action to address the enhanced risk they pose to others while also preparing themselves for the possible worsening of symptoms.

PROGRAMS BUILT AROUND YOUR NEEDS

Our staff will partner with all relevant agencies to develop a testing regimen that suits specific needs based on such variables as geography and patient demographics. We can provide daily, weekly or monthly testing, spot testing of symptomatic or virus-exposed individuals, collection support, courier services, report interpretation and more. Our data systems are completely proprietary and fully owned by us, built specifically for healthcare environments. That means complete HIPAA compliance and rigorous privacy and security safeguards.

Mental Health & Behavioral Testing

In addition to the two primary screenings above, full-service genetic testing laboratories can use the same patient sample to perform further genetic analyses that can be of critical importance in the months to come. In particular, genetic testing can help identify those individuals who are predisposed to addiction, mental health issues and other underlying health concerns that are widely recognized as growing threats for millions of Americans struggling with the unique personal and financial stressors we all face today.

Patient Safety. Personalized Care. Precision Medicine.

THE OPIOID CRISIS

The opioid epidemic is America’s most significant public health crisis. At least 130 people will die today from an opioid overdose. Opioid related hospital stays are on the rise in every age group and every region in the country as outpatient expenses for prescribed opioids have more than doubled, estimating an economic burden of $78.5B annually. Additionally, opioid-caused nutrient deficiencies and lack of healthy food options have fueled the mental health crisis.

MENTAL HEALTH

Awareness of the critical need for mental health care is increasing. Nearly 450 million people suffer from mental health issues today where only one in three who need treatment get it. Mental health disorders contribute to more than $1 trillion in lost productivity globally. Approximately 89.3 million Americans live in Federally designated mental health shortage areas. According to the latest research, healthy food initiatives provide preventive measures to combat mental health disorders.

METABOLIC SYNDROME

There is significant correlation between metabolic syndrome, opioid usage, and mental health. Metabolic syndrome affects one in four Americans while individuals with mental health disorders are increasingly more vulnerable to metabolic syndrome. Heart disease is the #1 killer of people with mental illness, much of which is due to metabolic syndrome. Did you know the average annual cost of diabetes per patient is over $10,000?

FOOD AND NUTRITION

Food and nutrition are highly correlated with health promotion and chronic disease prevention. It is estimated that 23.5 million Americans live in food deserts and 37.2 million live in food-insecure households, with low income most affected. Food insecurity has a high correlation with increased diabetes rates. The good news is that positive diet and lifestyle changes can reduce disease risk. Eating healthy foods can improve or even reverse certain disease states and decrease healthcare costs.

COSTS AND BENEFITS OF HEALTHY EATING

If Americans ate just one more serving of fruits or vegetables per day, it would save more than 30,000 lives and $5 billion in medical costs each year. If Americans were to follow current USDA recommendations for daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, those numbers would increase to more than 127,000 lives with $17 billion saved. The increased longevity that would result if Americans ate the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables is worth over $11 trillion*
