Screen4Care

Screen4Care offers an innovative research approach to accelerate the diagnosis of rare diseases based on two central pillars: newborn genetic screening and digital technologies. People living with rare diseases often have an arduous path to diagnosis. On average, they have to endure eight years of inconclusive consultations and possible misdiagnosis, leading to ineffective treatments and inefficient use of healthcare resources. The diagnosis odysseys and uncertainty about the symptoms experienced continue to place a great burden on undiagnosed patients, their families, caregivers, physicians and society as a whole.
