1 Billion people in the world have or might develop a DNA-associated condition. This is a burden for our society, costing several trillions of euros in productivity losses, but early identification can both save lives & money. Today, healthcare is largely reactive—patients are screened only if they present symptoms or risk factors. Omika Health flips the script by offering personalized, AI-powered insights based on genetic predispositions. We build a bridge between technology and healthcare, with a clear goal: improving long-term health outcomes by connecting users with tailored screening programs and healthcare providers. We are an early-stage startup team of 6 in Stockholm working towards preventative healthcare.
