The project MyEngene refers to a legitimate Calgary-based pharmacogenomics company verified via web search, currently in the market-entry phase. However, the submission itself contains significant hallucinations and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), which drastically undermine the credibility of the input. While the real-world utility of preventing Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) is high and the underlying technology (AI/genomics) is sound, the discrepancy between the submission's claims and the verifiable reality (early-stage startup, minimal current traction) results in a low score. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' calibration tier.

Description
MyEngene® is an "Engine" for your genes. An individual’s unique DNA can make some medications ineffective or dangerous. The only way to know which medications are safe is through a genomic test and advanced analysis. MyEngene® started with a vision to truly personalize medicine. Our mission is to create a positive healthcare experience by elevating the standard of care that patients deserve. There is a lack of use and understanding of genomics to help prescribe the right medicine and reduce hospitalizations and deaths. 128,000 Americans die each year from ADR’s (adverse drug reactions) and their side effects. Pharmacogenomics uses information about a person’s genetic makeup, or genome, to choose the drugs and doses that are likely to work best for that particular person. This growing field combines the sciences of pharmacology and genomics.
