DNA ANALYSIS IN PRACTICEDNA analysis as an extra layer in treatment.
With the iGenius programme, the practitioner adds DNA analysis to the care offering. After training, clients who take the DNA test with bioprocesses link their results to the practitioner’s dashboard. It contains much more than the client sees in the app: exactly what is needed for the analysis and the treatment plan.
For doctors, practitioners and therapists.
The DNA test is being used more and more: for some time now in integrative care, and increasingly in regular care as well.
In practice it proves to be a valuable addition for every doctor and practitioner. The result of the DNA analysis is factual, and concerns topics that can actually be worked with in the treatment room.

With the DNA test to a better treatment plan.
For better care for the client or patient.
- The DNA testThe client takes the iGene DNA test with bioprocesses, via one of the three routes below.
- The analysisThe complete analysis appears in the practitioner’s iGenius dashboard, with the results, considerations and possible advice.
- Own expertiseThe medical historyThe practitioner determines which advice is really relevant to the client.
- SharingThe advice goes to the client: unlocked in the iGene app, or included in the practitioner’s health plan.
Three routes to work with a client.
The route can differ per client: the routes can also be used side by side.
The client orders it themselves.
- Order. The client orders the DNA test with the bioprocesses themselves at igene.nl.
- Link. The practitioner provides the practice code and a client code. The client uses these to link the profile to the practice.
- Heads-up. As soon as the results are in, the practitioner automatically receives a notification. The bioprocesses are not yet open to the client at that point.
- Consultation. The practitioner discusses the results with the client, in a consultation of their own and with their own medical history.
- Unlock. The practitioner then unlocks the bioprocesses from the dashboard, and the client sees them in the iGene app.
The practitioner orders, sample taken at the practice.
- Order. The practitioner orders the test with the bioprocesses from the dashboard. The invoice goes via the practice.
- Sample at the practice. The client gives the saliva sample at the practice. The practitioner creates the tube code in the dashboard.
- Everything in the dashboard. The results appear in the dashboard, and the practitioner discusses them with the client. The client does not have to arrange anything themselves.
- App optional. If the client installs the iGene app, the practitioner can then also unlock the advice.
The practitioner orders, the kit goes to the client.
- Order. The practitioner orders the test with the bioprocesses from the dashboard, with the client’s address. The invoice goes via the practice.
- Send. iGene sends the kit to the client. The tube code is then already linked to the profile in the dashboard.
- Sample at home. The client takes the saliva sample and sends the kit back.
- Results in the dashboard. The results appear in the dashboard, and the practitioner discusses them with the client.
- App optional. If the client installs the iGene app, the practitioner can then also unlock the advice.
The compensation is also arranged.
If the client orders themselves (route 1), the practice receives a compensation for every linked client. The practice can use it to make the test cheaper for the client, or to cover its own time. If the practice orders the test (routes 2 and 3), it receives a discount straight away and passes the cost of the test on to the client itself.
The results appear in the iGenius dashboard.
As soon as the results of the DNA test are in, the practitioner sees all results and recommendations in their own dashboard, in more detail than the client sees in the app.
Results, considerations and possible advice, clearly brought together.
Get started with DNA analysis in four steps.
- Order the starter kitBefore the test is sent, iGene checks whether the person ordering is a healthcare professional, for example via a medical register or the Chamber of Commerce.
- Take the basic trainingOne day of explanation about genes and about how the processes work: live in the Netherlands, or online in their own time and language.
- Experience it yourselfThe first test, with the bioprocesses included for free. That way the practitioner experiences first-hand what it means, in the dashboard and in treatment.
- Link clientsAfter that, the practitioner invites clients to link themselves to their own dashboard.

Good to know.
How does a practitioner connect clients?
There are two ways: the client orders a kit themselves, or the practitioner orders the kit from the dashboard. Some practitioners use both: one client orders themselves, while for another it goes via the practice. The practitioner chooses what suits the practice best.
How does it work if a client orders a kit themselves?
As an iGenius Professional, the practitioner receives a practice code for the practice, and a personal client code for each client. The client buys an iGene kit with the bioprocesses themselves and enters both codes in the app. A link request then appears in the dashboard. As soon as the practitioner accepts it, the client’s data is visible. For every client linked in this way, the practice receives a small compensation. What the practice does with it is up to the practice.
Can a practitioner also order the kit for a client?
Yes. From the dashboard, the practitioner orders a kit for the client, with the link already arranged. The practice then receives a discount straight away, receives the invoice and passes the cost of the test on to the client itself. This often works best when the test is part of a larger whole, such as a complete package.
Where is the saliva sample taken?
The client can simply take the saliva sample at home. There are also professionals who prefer to take the sample at their practice, to take all the work off their clients’ hands. And some register the tube code themselves and link the profile, so that the client does not have to install the app. It simply depends on what suits the practice.
What support is there for interpreting a profile?
The practitioner is not on their own. The iGenius dashboard already contains a lot of explanation with the results, there are videos, and the trainings show how a profile is interpreted. With Helix, additional questions can be asked about part of the profile, with controlled AI from iGenius. Practitioners and their clients can also contact iGene’s genetics experts, via a dedicated support number and email address. If it still does not work out with a client, an expert consultation can be requested: a genetics expert looks on remotely and provides pointers for interpreting the profile. This is done on a consultation basis. In practice it is rarely needed, but it is good to know that it is possible.
How does iGene protect the DNA data?
DNA data is processed and stored encrypted on European servers, strictly separated from personal data. The practitioner only sees a client’s results after the client has given explicit consent. That consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Is pharmacogenetics also in the dashboard?
Yes. The dashboard also shows how the client processes medicines, according to the DPWG guidelines. It can be useful to take note of this. Whether anything more can be done with it depends on the role in treatment: prescribing and adjusting medicines is up to doctors and pharmacists. When working with a pharmacy, the Pharmacists page is also of interest, about the Medication DNA Test in the pharmacy.
