SINCE 2012

Healthy for longer, thanks to knowledge of your genes.

Our mission is to help people live healthier lives and stay healthy for longer, with knowledge from their DNA. Since 2012, we’ve been doing that for everyone who wants to find out more for themselves, and for healthcare professionals who use it to make better choices. We were one of the first European providers of DNA tests for everyone.

WHY WE’RE HERE

The missing piece of the puzzle.DNA completes the picture.

iGene is one of the pioneers of genetics in primary care. For years, we’ve been making both the technology and the knowledge available to bring the results of a DNA analysis into everyday clinical practice: for medication optimisation, but certainly also to support a diagnosis and when drawing up a treatment plan.

Most healthcare professionals have no background in DNA. That’s exactly why our programmes are so powerful. Our platform shows the results together with the considerations and possible advice, so every healthcare professional can interpret and apply them.

More and more doctors and practitioners use our DNA results as an extra piece of the puzzle, alongside what they’ve always done: blood tests, urine tests and other values. So they get to know a patient better and can offer more targeted guidance. That fits what they stand for every day: helping people as well as they can.

What we do

From insight at home to the consulting room.

iGene makes DNA analysis accessible in two ways. With our DNA tests for home, for everyone who wants to find out more for themselves. And with the iGenius DNA dashboard, for healthcare professionals. In it, we translate the outcome of the DNA test into what a practitioner needs: results, considerations and advice.

A test for home already gives people a lot of knowledge: they see where their health needs attention. Together with healthcare, DNA analysis becomes a powerful accelerator. Anyone who takes a DNA test can share their profile with their own doctor or therapist. They see it in more depth in the iGenius DNA dashboard, and can relate the results to the symptoms, especially the results on enzyme activity and bioprocesses. That leads to better treatment plans and shorter treatment pathways, because the cause is known sooner.

Individuals can share their profile with their healthcare provider, who sees it in more depth in the iGenius DNA dashboard.

The iGenius DNA dashboard: results, considerations and advice.

What it delivers

Knowledge of their own predisposition, and insight into where their health needs attention.

Better treatment plans, targeted support and shorter treatment pathways, because the cause is known sooner. That also saves healthcare costs.

TogetherA powerful combination: for prevention, and for unravelling symptoms without a clear cause.

What we stand for

What we believe in.

From curing to preventingHealthcare systems in Europe are gradually shifting from curing to preventing. We’re glad to contribute to that with our services. We also show governments and institutions what DNA analysis can mean here.
Control over your own DNA dataKnowledge about someone’s genes belongs to that person. Anyone who takes a DNA test decides for themselves whether the data is shared with a doctor. People can perfectly well handle part of that knowledge themselves. For another part, it’s good to have a professional involved.
Staying healthy, and looking furtherWith our DNA tests for home, people work on their health before symptoms appear. For symptoms whose cause is hard to find, the analysis of bioprocesses goes further: it shows where the body needs extra support.
Our story

More than ten years of DNA analysis, for people and for healthcare.

“We founded iGene to improve people's lives, with DNA insights they can really use. The more you know about your genes, the better your treatment can be and the more control you have over your health.”

Roy Haan, CEO
Rooted in scienceScience is the foundation of iGene. Studies are consulted and assessed according to a fixed, standardised method. If a study links a gene to a trait or condition, iGene first looks for studies that show the opposite. Only when a link has been convincingly demonstrated in several studies does it appear in the results. This way of working is deeply embedded in the organisation. That makes every result an honest translation of the scientific consensus.
Experience with sensitive dataEven before 2012, the iGene team worked on information systems for the medical sector. Because of that, iGene knows how sensitive medical data is, and how carefully it has to be handled.

  10. 2026Helix: safe AI for practitionersWith AI, practitioners see broader connections between the genetic result and other results. This happens in a protected environment that only consults reliable sources, such as articles from PubMed.
Our mission

Working together on a healthier society.

With our users and customers we are building something good: people who become healthier and stay healthy for longer. That’s why we work with healthcare organisations and healthcare professionals, and why each target group has its own label.
