Addressing a Shortage of Genetic Counselors with AI

As genetic testing continues to expand, it is bringing into focus a shortage of genetic counselors who can work with patients to explain results and answer questions. Igentify is helping genetic counselors manage more patients by providing an AI-based platform that can take some of the load off of them by helping onboard patients, obtaining consents, and educating them. We spoke to Doron Behar, co-founder and CEO of Igentify, about the company’s Digital Genetic Assistant, how it works, and why it will allow genetic counselors to handle a much larger volume of patients.
