What Doctors are saying About Ridge Diagnostics
"As a practicing psychiatrist I believe that the MDDScore™ blood test will have a significant effect on the psychiatric industry. Currently, one of our greatest challenges in the field of psychiatry is the absence of objective tests to help us with the diagnosis of this disorder. " (Psychiatrist) "A Psychiatrist´s diagnosis for major depressive disorder is usually based on a series of clinical questions, and clinical assessments, which may cause patients difficulty in validating their disorder. " (Psychiatrist)
A Snap-Shot of The Company
Ridge Diagnostics is a neurodiagnostic company offering its proprietary first-in-class blood test for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) through its CLIA certified laboratory in North Carolina. Based upon its proprietary Human Biomarker Library and its Biomarker Hyper-Map™ technology platform, Ridge Diagnostics has developed multi-variant biological marker assays and diagnostic algorithms to diagnose, select and monitor treatment for MDD and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Antidepressant drugs are the most frequently prescribed medication in the US today where depression strikes over 19 million adults each year – more than coronary artery disease, cancer or AIDS. For the first time, objective biological test information about depression may aid physicians in the differential diagnosis of MDD, the selection of proper treatment and effective management of their patients. |
