ActX provides physicians and healthcare systems with real-time genomic decision support, ensuring that they can tailor medical treatments and prescriptions to an individual&#8217;s unique genetic makeup.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By bridging the gap between advanced genetic insights and practical medical applications, ActX empowers healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions, optimize medication efficacy, and reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage-1024x565.png\" alt=\"ActX homepage\" class=\"wp-image-45212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage-1536x848.png 1536w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-homepage.png 1978w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ActX homepage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded by Dr. Andrew Ury, a seasoned entrepreneur passionate about healthcare innovation, the company has made genomic insights actionable for healthcare professionals. From its early days, ActiveX has had the conviction that a patient&#8217;s genetic makeup holds the key to more personalized and effective medical interventions. Under Dr. Ury&#8217;s guidance, the company has developed a comprehensive platform offering real-time genomic decision support, empowering physicians to tailor treatments based on individual genetic profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ActX specializes in the practical application of genomics in clinical practice. Unlike other services that only provide genetic testing, ActX integrates the sequencing results into the patient\u2019s electronic health record. Using their regular workflow, physicians can see the results and the company\u2019s actionable interpretation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcf0ef\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/whole-genome-sequencing\/\">Before seeing if you can integrate parts of your genome into your doctor&#8217;s workflow, you should take a look at your entire genome<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/whole-genome-sequencing\/\">Nebula Genomics offers Whole Genome Sequencing that decodes 100% of your DNA and will help you make sense of your lab results!

For instance, when prescribed medication, the system cross-references the patient&#8217;s genetic profile to anticipate how they might react to the drug, ensuring its safety and efficacy. This real-time analysis is rooted in the principles of pharmacogenomics, which studies the interplay between genes and drug responses. By pinpointing variations in genes that interact with medications, ActX equips clinicians with the tools to predict optimal drug choices and potential adverse reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond medications, ActX&#8217;s platform can detect genetic markers that signal an elevated risk for certain medical conditions, paving the way for early interventions and tailored prevention strategies. Additionally, ActX&#8217;s carrier screening can identify genes linked to inherited disorders for those considering parenthood, offering insights into potential genetic risks for their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of ActX&#8217;s standout features is its commitment to staying updated. With the field of genomics constantly evolving, ActX ensures its database remains current, reflecting the latest genetic discoveries. Moreover, its seamless integration with electronic health records (EHRs) means this vital genomic data is embedded within a clinician\u2019s regular workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-actx-services\"><strong>Review of ActX Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-actx\">ActX<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The service personalizes health care using genetics and actionable insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ActX&#8217;s flagship offering integrates with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). It provides real-time patient-specific genomic insights to clinicians during their regular workflow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when prescribed medication, the system checks the patient&#8217;s genetic profile to predict possible medication reaction or efficacy issues. If genetics suggest the medication may cause a serious side effect, the system will automatically recommend an alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system also screens for hereditary risk for certain cancers, types of cardiovascular disease and other conditions by looking at certain genetic variants. This information can be useful, especially if discovered before the patient demonstrates symptoms. Then, the patient and their doctor can create a plan to improve future health. This is a screening service and not intended for the diagnosis of high risk patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-1024x604.png\" alt=\"ActX service examples\" class=\"wp-image-45220\" style=\"width:748px;height:441px\" width=\"748\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-1024x604.png 1024w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-1536x906.png 1536w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ActX-service-example-2048x1207.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ActX service examples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it also screens for more than 230 genetic diseases related to carrier status. These are conditions that do not affect the patient, but may get passed down to their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients may not want to know all their genetic health risks. For this purpose, the company offers the ActX Pharmacogenomics Service, which only releases information on the patient\u2019s potential reactions to medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-23andme-service\">23andMe Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a physician\u2019s authorization, ActX will analyze raw data from 23andMe customers. Patients will receive the same medical screening as if they used the flagship ActX product. This includes pharmacogenetics, hereditary risk, and carrier status.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company current supports versions 4 and 5 of 23andMe testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taking-an-actx-test\"><strong>Taking an ActX Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients interested in this technology should see if it is available at their doctor\u2019s office. If it\u2019s not, the company provides informational documents on its website that the patient can bring to their doctor. They will need to register their practice for ActX real-time genomic services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once ActX is integrated into the doctor\u2019s healthcare system, the provider will authorize their patient for the service. Patients receive an email with a link allowing them to enroll. The company sends a test kit to the patient\u2019s home where they can collect a saliva sample and return it to the company\u2019s CLIA-certified laboratory for analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The patient\u2019s genetic profile is made available to the ordering physician through the electronic health record and to the patient through either their patient portal or the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-actx-cost\"><strong>Review of ActX Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of ActX is not available on its public website. Since patients must go through their healthcare provider to access its services, the cost is billed through insurance in most cases. The company\u2019s website claims the service is inexpensive especially considering it screens broadly, instead of just a few genes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because a physician authorizes and uses the test, most patients can use HSA\/FSA funds to pay for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 23andMe raw data analysis costs $95.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-the-actx-results\"><strong>Review of the ActX Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ActX emphasizes the importance of actionable genomic insights in medical practice. Its results and recommendations seamlessly integrate into a clinician&#8217;s workflow, providing real-time genomic intelligence that can guide clinical decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company makes results available to both the patient and the physician. Patients can see the latest information on a secure website or through the free ActX mobile phone app. Physicians access it through the electronic health record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ActX notes that while direct to consumer companies like Ancestry and 23andMe provide entertainment genetics, like ancestry and traits, its services focus on medical genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/actx-compared-to-other-companies-1024x632.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45228\" style=\"width:844px;height:521px\" width=\"844\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/actx-compared-to-other-companies-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/actx-compared-to-other-companies-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/actx-compared-to-other-companies-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/actx-compared-to-other-companies.png 1133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ActX compared with other companies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When ActX analyzes a patient&#8217;s genetic data, the results focus on actionable genetic risks. That is, these genetic variations have clear medical evidence that there is something the patient and their doctor can do. The results include clinical information on the genomic profile that is integrated with the latest clinical evidence and current testing and treatment practices. It also includes recommendations for more extensive genetic testing and consultation if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company continuously updates the ActX KnowledgeBase with the latest published medical research and reanalyzes patient genetic information. If something new is found, it updates both the patient and the physician.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visual representation of the results is user-friendly, with clear indications of potential risks and recommended actions. This design ensures that healthcare providers, even those who may not have an extensive background in genetics, can easily interpret and act upon the genomic insights provided by ActX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-the-actx-privacy-policy\"><strong>Review of the ActX Privacy Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ActX employ strong encryption and security protocols to protect genetic and personal data. While it uses this information to provide genetic insights and reports, it also might use de-identified data for research, ensuring it can&#8217;t be traced back to individual users. ActX stands firm in its policy not to sell, lease, or rent personal information to third parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If users are connected to a healthcare provider via the ActX platform, that provider can access genetic insights for better medical decision-making. Users maintain control over their data, with rights to access, correct, or delete their information, and can withdraw from ActX services whenever they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-actx-reviews\"><strong>Other ActX Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the ActX website, there isn&#8217;t a specific section dedicated to customer reviews or ratings. However, the company showcases its partnerships and affiliations, emphasizing its credibility in genomic medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is not a commercial product, there are no reviews on third-party sites like Amazon or TrustPilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nebula-genomics\"><strong>Nebula Genomics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While ActX is tailored towards the clinical community, providing actionable genetic insights integrated into healthcare systems, Nebula Genomics is a direct-to-consumer genetic testing service.
