Baby Sensor

Mostly Late Diagnosis of Congenital Diseases

Many seemingly healthy people carry gene mutations that are passed on to their children, causing hereditary diseases. Unfortunately, these conditions are rarely detected immediately in newborns.

This often leads to a lack of essential treatments, allowing the genetically caused disease to spread unchecked in the child’s body. In many cases, health is permanently affected, although this could potentially have been prevented with timely initiation of suitable therapies.

More Targeted Prevention Through Early Detection

Congenital diseases can often be managed through early preventive and treatment measures, preventing potential developmental disorders or disabilities in affected children.

Therefore, early screening of infants for common hereditary diseases is helpful in starting necessary therapeutic approaches based on findings.

How Does Our Baby Sensor Work?

With the Baby Sensor, our laboratory examines the submitted urine sample of the child for 250 different metabolites.

This urine test enables us to diagnose over 100 inherited metabolic diseases at an early stage. Currently, our Baby Sensor is one of the most comprehensive analyses worldwide for screening diseases in newborns.

The analysis results are presented in a detailed report explaining the tested diseases and their respective complications (in case of lack of treatment).

In this context, our Baby Sensor can significantly contribute to child health prevention and support early diagnosis of hereditary diseases, enabling timely preventive measures or therapy.
