Overview

Genesis Healthcare provides genetic testing services and runs a genetic data platform containing information from over 550,000 individuals, the largest such repository in Japan and potentially in Asia. Its core offering combines proprietary genetic test kits with digital health wearables, delivered through a partnership with Omron Healthcare. The company’s data assets underpin research and personalized health solutions for consumers and partners. Looking ahead, Genesis Healthcare aims to grow its database to one million users (about 1 % of Japan’s population) during 2018. Recent financing places the company’s post-money valuation at roughly ¥42 billion. Cumulatively, the firm has attracted ¥3.78 billion in funding, including the latest round. The fresh capital will fund further development of genetic technologies and healthcare applications while deepening collaborations with corporate partners.
