Genetic testing plays a vital role in this approach by providing insights into an individual's genetic makeup, enabling personalized diagnostics, treatment selection, and disease prevention strategies. Specimen collection cards have become essential tools in genetic testing processes, offering a convenient and reliable method for collecting various biological samples, such as saliva, blood, and tissue.
Moreover, specimen collection cards contribute to health monitoring and well-being programs by enabling the collection of biomarkers & analytes that provide valuable information about an individual's health status and overall well-being. These cards are used in kits designed for monitoring hormone levels, detecting infectious diseases, and measuring key biomarkers related to chronic conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular diseases.
The ease of sample collection using specimen collection cards promotes regular monitoring, facilitating early detection of health issues and timely interventions, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes. The growing emphasis on personalized medicine, genetic testing, health monitoring, and well-being initiatives is driving the demand for specimen collection cards in the market. These cards provide a practical solution by offering a versatile and user-friendly platform for collecting various biological samples, empowering individuals to take control of their health. The integration of specimen collection cards into innovative genetic testing kits and health monitoring solutions further solidifies their role in supporting personalized medicine and enabling individuals to make well-informed decisions about their health & well-being.
Key players operating in the industry are focusing on raising funds to excel in their research and development activities along with other inorganic and organic strategies. For instance, in June 2022, OrisDX received funding for its innovation in saliva-based diagnostics for oral cancers. The company received funding of USD 1.76 million as an investment for progressing its research.
