Prestigious International Annual Awards
Program Recognizes Standout Digital Health & Medical Technology
Products and Companies
SEATTLE, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- YouScript, an Aranscia company, today
announced that it has been selected as winner of the "Genomics
Innovation Award" in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough
Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent
market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies,
technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical
technology market.
YouScript's pharmacogenomics (PGx) software and solutions enable
healthcare providers and organizations to build, deliver, and scale
comprehensive personalized medication management programs. Through
decades of industry leadership, program execution, and outcomes
analytics, YouScript helps providers identify, mitigate, and
demonstrate the clinical value of incorporating both drug-drug and
multi-drug-gene interactions as part of their care workflows.
Incorporating YouScript as part of a proactive personalized
medication management program has been shown to help providers
mitigate the potential for dangerous adverse drug events, including
associated hospital and emergency department visits. Providers can
easily assess the potential impact of PGx insights on a patient
population through YouScript's categorical risk framework,
optimizing equitable patient care across all demographics. The
company's team of clinical pharmacists works to continually ensure
that new pharmaceutical innovations and guidelines are available to
clinical program leaders so they can maximize high-evidence
insights.
"We're honored to receive the 'Genomics Innovation Award' from
MedTech Breakthrough and bring further awareness to our mission of
helping providers improve patient safety and care," said
Kristine Ashcraft, Founder and
President, YouScript. "Pharmacogenomics is a foundational element
of precision medicine, enabling a healthier future for all and
helping to save lives and reduce costs through the prevention and
mitigation of avoidable adverse drug events. YouScript will
continue to lead the industry in developing innovative solutions
that assist providers in assessing high-quality evidence on the
safest and most effective drugs and doses for their patients,
including multi-drug gene interactions often missed by other
approaches. We remain committed to continued advancements
that help turn the tide on the plight of adverse drug events, which
currently claim an American life every two minutes," added
Ashcraft.
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor
excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work, and success in
a range of health and medical technology categories, including
Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic
Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data
& Privacy, and many more. This year's program attracted
thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries
throughout the world.
"YouScript's innovation and clinical impact help healthcare
providers reduce trial-and-error prescribing expenditures and
improve patient outcomes. Many patients, especially the elderly or
those suffering from multiple chronic diseases in disadvantaged
populations, typically lack the resources to mitigate failed drug
therapies and struggle with the demands of repeated clinic visits
to receive new prescriptions," said Steve
Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough.
"YouScript's patented and intuitive approach to bringing real-time
precision and analytics to the point of prescribing has been shown
to reduce healthcare costs, improve care, and also result in high
provider and patient satisfaction."
The YouScript platform's features include detailed high-evidence
information on pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects of
medications, a comprehensive database of drug interaction,
genotype-based drug and dosage recommendations, and an
"Alternatives Selector" that assists providers with a schedule of
medications based on individual genetic profiles and drug regimens.
YouScript's solutions can be seamlessly integrated into many
leading electronic health record platforms and pharmacy software
systems, and are also available to licensed providers through a
desktop and mobile-friendly interface.
Ashcraft and other YouScript leaders will present an overview of
PGx and its ability to optimize treatment pathways on May 15 at 1 p.m.
ET. Register here to learn more about this critical aspect
of healthcare.
