Employing AI and automation for highest efficiency and diagnostic yield, the Congenica platform is chosen for its clinical utility and ability to support whole genome data analysis at scale.   Kamraan Shariff, Chief Business Development Officer of Congenica, said, “*The service contract awarded by HKGI highlights the growing international recognition of the power of our platform, particularly for large-scale whole genome analyses. This builds on our role as the* *exclusive clinical decision support platform and sole provider of genomic data analysis for rare disease cases in the UK Genomic Medicine Service, the world's first health system to provide* *whole genome sequencing to patients at a national level. We are proud to have been selected by HKGI and share their ultimate goal of delivering more precise diagnoses and more effective* *treatments for patients.”* \*\*ENDS\*\*   About Congenica Congenica is a digital health company enabling the rapid analysis and interpretation of genomic data, empowering researchers and clinicians to provide life-changing answers that improve wellbeing and disease management.
