About PrediLife
PrediLife develops innovative predictive medicine solutions that combine proven medical techniques (genetic testing, medical imaging etc.) with mathematical models using a large amount of statistical data, which potentially allow individuals to ascertain their own risk profile regarding the occurrence of a large number of serious diseases.
The company markets its MammoRisk® personalised breast cancer screening solution in Europe and the United States. This combines medical imaging—from PrediLife’s proprietary DenSeeMammo software for measuring breast density—with Big Data and statistics through a scoring tool that uses patient-related data (age, breast density, family history, biopsy results, ethnic origin) and a study of the patient’s genetic profile through a genetic test, to establish a polygenic risk score. MammoRisk® addresses demand among women and medical practitioners for screening programmes that are personalised to reflect the risk of breast cancer.
PrediLife is in charge of assessing breast cancer risks as part of the European MyPeBS reference study. The study’s main aim is to compare the current screening approach—where age is the only criterion—with a new screening strategy based on each woman’s risk level. Another aim of the MyPeBS study is to produce European guidelines for the introduction of personalised screening.
Personalised screening is likely to have a major impact on public health, initially by reducing the number of cases in which breast cancer is diagnosed only at an advanced stage, and ultimately by reducing the breast cancer mortality rate.
