Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Jscreen is the name of a non-profit that is focused on genetic and cancer screening to save lives. And it can all be done through a test kit sent by mail….and follow up counselling via telemedicine. The CEO is Dr. Matt Goldstein, who lost a daughter to tay sachs…a hereditary disease after testing had failed to disclose that he was a carrier. So, he says Jscreen…
“Provides a super high quality, high touch, service. So educating patients, communities, families about what this screening can do, why you need it, when you need it. And then providing access to get that testing done in a very easy way.”
It can detect a wide range of genetic diseases. Learn more at Jscreen.org.
