C2N Diagnostics, a leader in advanced brain health diagnostics,
and Healius Ltd (ASX:HLS), one of Australia's leading listed
healthcare companies, today announced a partnership that will aim
to bring C2N’s PrecivityAD™ blood test and related brain health
biomarkers to the forefront of memory and dementia care in
Australia. The partnership represents C2N’s first international
country-wide agreement as it expands its offerings beyond the
United States and Europe.
The partnership prioritizes the development of widely accessible
and high-quality blood testing services to help patients in
Australia who are experiencing memory or thinking issues to receive
a timely and accurate diagnosis of their cognitive impairment.
Under the initial phase of the collaboration, Healius will leverage
its professional staff and expansive network of ~2,000 patient
collection centers across Australia to collect, process, and ship
patient samples to C2N’s St. Louis, Missouri, USA lab facility. At
C2N’s state-of-the-art CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited and ISO13485
certified lab, samples will be analyzed and test results reported
back to Healius for sharing with healthcare providers and
patients.
Early diagnosis is the first step toward determining the
appropriate care plan for people undergoing an evaluation for
Alzheimer’s disease or other form of dementia. In Australia, the
government estimates that nearly half a million people are
currently living with dementia, a number that is expected to double
in the next four decades.
Dr. Joel Braunstein, C2N’s CEO, says, “We are honored to partner
with Healius, which provides Australians with affordable,
accessible, and comprehensive health care. We have learned many
lessons from our PrecivityAD™ blood test experience in the United
States, and we look forward to sharing these details with our
colleagues at Healius. Together, we want to educate, raise quality
of care, and offer clinically effective solutions for patients and
care givers dealing with the concern of Alzheimer’s disease.
Australia’s health sector is known for its innovation, and we are
delighted to contribute to that legacy.”
Dr. Malcolm Parmenter, Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer of Healius adds, “Our team of pathologists and scientists
is very impressed with the quality and innovation of the C2N
Diagnostics team. Current diagnostic approaches in Australia are
relatively invasive and expensive. This partnership will make a
real difference to the many Australians affected by cognitive
impairment. New diagnostic approaches such as C2N’s PrecivityAD™
blood test will help realize the goal of early diagnosis of
Alzheimer's disease at a time when optimal long-term plans and
indeed preventive treatment may be possible to implement.
Alzheimer’s disease transcends national borders, and this
international partnership is a major step forward for all of
us.”
Representatives from both companies expect to release further
announcements in the near future about their service offerings and
how clinicians will be able to access these services to benefit
patients and their families.
