Make the Right Diagnosis

At The Right Time

Our PCR testing data shows that antibiotic resistance can occur up to 52% of the time. To assist in curtailing the cost of repeatedly treating resistant infections, HealthTrackRx provides a personalized antibiotic summary that prescribers can rely on.

Our antibiogram removes guesswork by detecting antibiotic resistance genes, helping patients receive an antibiotic that works the first time.
