FDNA has been selected as a performer in ARPA-H's Rare Disease AI/ML for Precision Integrated Diagnostics (RAPID) program. The release describes how Family Health Checker gives parents a digital front door to bring concerns, photos, symptoms and health history into a clinical workflow, and how Face2Gene helps clinicians develop a differential list of possible syndromic conditions, with diagnosis remaining a clinical determination. It closes with a quote from CEO and Co-Founder Erik A. Feingold: Families shouldn't need to understand the rare disease system before the system can help them.
