136 - Preventing Hearing loss Through Genetic Screening: Exploring Genedrive's Game Changing Technology

This week, Dave Kemp takes a closer look at how innovations in genetic screening technology are having a clinical impact to preserve the hearing of at-risk infants. He is joined by Dr. John McDermott, Dr. Nicola Booth and Dr. Gino Miele, to discuss how Genedrive's point-of-care genetic testing device is allowing clinicians to determine whether a child is at increased risk of permanent hearing loss from aminoglycoside use due to a genetic variant.

This type of analysis has traditionally taken days, or even weeks to obtain, can now be done in under an hour on-site. The Genedrive test is rapid, portable, and cost-effective, making it an attractive option for hospitals and clinics. With this technology, doctors can quickly identify at-risk babies and take action to prevent hearing loss.
