| Description |
|
Ridge Diagnostics is a neurodiagnostic company that offers a proprietary first-in-class blood test for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The MDDScore is a multi-analyte immunoassay panel that looks at a combination of ten biochemicals from four different biological pathways in the body selected from Ridge’s Human Biomarker Library; blood levels of these individual body chemicals are measured and then entered into a unique mathematical equation to obtain a single test score that represents a patient’s likelihood of having MDD. The MDDScore has been found to be as or even more specific than commonly used assessment tools such as the HAM-D, Beck, and PHQ-9, and most insurance companies are reimbursing for the test. The results that this later-stage biotechnology company provides are intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information, thus aiding physicians in the differential diagnosis of MDD, the selection of proper treatment, and the effective management of patients, while empowering patients to more readily accept and manage their diagnosis at a time when antidepressants are the most frequently prescribed drugs in the US. |
