Resonant Values serve as the guiding principles to our organization's actions, culture, and relationships, creating a unified goal that amplifies productivity, morale, and overall success.

Integrity

Integrity lies at the core of how we conduct our research, manage our business, and interact with each other and the communities we serve. This means upholding high ethical standards, being honest in our communications, and embracing responsibility in our decisions and their impacts.

Innovation

Our commitment to innovation drives us to develop more effective solutions for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. We embrace leading technologies and novel research methodologies to create solutions with the potential to expedite diagnoses and significantly improve patient outcomes.

Empathy

Empathy guides our approach to healthcare. We are dedicated to understanding and addressing the needs of patients, families, and caregivers affected by neurodegenerative diseases. This commitment not only influences our product development, but also the way we support each other within our team.

Empowerment

Our goal is to empower patients. We are developing tools to detect biomarkers of neurodegeneration earlier in disease progression. But these tools aren't just about detecting diseases earlier. They're about giving control back to the patients, empowering them to make informed decisions that enhance their quality of life.

Results

We prioritize thorough validation of our tests to ensure that healthcare professionals and patients can make informed decisions based on dependable test results. Our rigorous approach supports better health outcomes, disease management, and treatment planning.
