Many seemingly healthy individuals carry genetic defects that can trigger hereditary diseases in their children, which are not always detected at birth.

This delay can result in a lack of essential treatment, allowing the disease to progress unchecked and potentially leading to lifelong health impairments in the child that could have been avoided with timely intervention.

In many cases, congenital diseases can be well controlled by timely preventive treatment measures, and possible disabilities or developmental disorders in affected children can be avoided.

For this reason, it makes sense to examine infants for common genetic diseases at an early stage and, if necessary, to take the appropriate steps based on the results.

As part of our Baby Sensor, we conduct a thorough examination of the submitted urine sample, analyzing 250 different metabolites. This allows us to diagnose over 100 congenital metabolic diseases early, making the Baby Sensor one of the most comprehensive analyses available.

Our detailed report summarizes the findings, providing essential information for preventive health care in children.

In the first months of life, babies are wholly dependent on their mother’s milk to provide them with sufficient energy and nutrients. If this is not the case, developmental disorders often occur, which in the worst case can lead to permanent health problems.

In addition to many other factors, the content of omega-3 fatty acids plays an essential role in this context.

Omega-3 fats are essential unsaturated fatty acids crucial for many bodily processes but cannot be produced by the body, requiring dietary intake. Insufficient omega-3 levels in breast milk can negatively impact a baby’s health, affecting brain and vision development.

To prevent irreversible effects, ensuring an optimal supply of omega-3 fats from breast milk is vital.

For our Breast Milk Sensor, we analyze the submitted sample for omega-3 fat content. This allows us to assess whether the milk provides sufficient levels of these vital fatty acids for healthy infant development.

Following the analysis, we provide a detailed report and recommendations for achieving the necessary intake through foods or supplements, helping to prevent potential health issues.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has spread globally since the 1980s, leading to nearly 40 million deaths. Despite medical advancements and declining death rates, over 1.2 million people died from HIV-related causes in 2014.

HIV is transmitted through contact with body fluids, with unprotected sexual intercourse being the most common route of infection.

While there is no absolute protection against HIV infection, individuals are not equally at risk upon exposure. Genetic predisposition can lead to significant differences that either increase or decrease the likelihood of contracting the virus.

An analysis of the relevant genes can help determine which risk group a person belongs to.

Pregnancy is an exciting yet fearful time for expectant parents, as they hope for a healthy child and a smooth experience for the mother.

However, every pregnancy carries risks that can impact both the mother and unborn child, including common issues like gestational diabetes and the potential for miscarriages.
