THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
are the world’s leading cause of death.

Most chronic diseases develop slowly over years — molecular signals precede clinical symptoms by years.

The initiative aims to develop PH1.0

— a scalable blood-based health screening algorithm for early detection for major non-communicable diseases.

MISSON

Transform healthcare toward early prevention

WHY IT MATTERS

Four dimensions of impacts

Personalized prevention

Build individual molecular reference ranges through repeated sampling

Earlier detection

Identify biological changes before disease appears

Global relevance

Develop health monitoring tools that work across populations

Health-system impact

Support earlier interventions, and longer healthy lives
