Karius

Redwood City, California, United States

Karius provides unique genomic insights by detecting microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) circulating in the bloodstream from pathogens causing an acute infection. Proprietary technology efficiently extracts mcfDNA directly from blood and depletes the strong human background signal and environmental contaminants. Advanced machine learning algorithms allow analysis of complex genomic data in real-time. Proprietary reference genome databases are constantly refined as more data becomes available.

MedStartr Engagement Score

The MedStartr Index is a reflection of how the crowds that come to MedStartr everyday to find healthcare innovations reacted. Calculated by our AI agent Fyggy based on algorithms we have been building since 2012 and over 100 different factors, the math is proprietary and complex. Suffice to say, it has been found to be highly correlative with early stage company growth. What you see here is the public version.

What do you think of Karius?

A HUGE part of what early stage companies, and even late stage ones, need and get on MedStartr is honest feedback from actual patients, clinicians, hospital leaders and industry insiders. It is very easy to get tunnel vision as a founder. Please tell the team that runs this company what you think.

Clinical Benefit Potential

The potential for a project to have a large and significant impact on medical care, treatment, or prevention.

Feasibility

The likelihood that this will provide benefit for patients / care givers and that the founders can execute on their vision and plan.

Innovativeness

The distinguishing features, concept, or technology that differentiates the entry compared to others that already exist and are in widespread use.

Fundability

The reviewers' beliefs that the idea is fundable or can make it to sustainability without outside investment.

Scalability

Some great ideas are destined to failure because they are too complex or too expensive. The reviewer should consider the likelihood that a project as explained, or perhaps with some tweaks, could possibly become a worldwide solution within a reasonable time frame.

Presentation Quality

How well the team presented the idea.
