Workforce Impact
The case for early pediatric genetic screening as a family-first benefit.
- 99.5% Productivity losses add an additional cost equal to 99.5% of direct medical costs EveryLife Foundation, 2021
Lost productivity rivals medical costs
Undiagnosed genetic conditions are both a direct medical cost and productivity problem. Every year that a child’s actionable genetic condition goes undetected means more missed work, reduced on-the-job performance, and increased caregiver burden for a parent. GeneSprout helps families access appropriate care sooner, reducing their child’s diagnostic odyssey that drives medical costs, disease progression, caregiver burden, and avoidable productivity losses.
- $80 K Avg savings per child
Real world evidence
The SAVES-Kids Health Economics study shows that genetic testing improves care and reduces healthcare costs by up to 61% in the year following testing for children with neurological conditions.
- 5 to 30 years Avg time families search for answers Wu et al, 2020
Pediatric diagnostic odyssey costs are avoidable
Early identification shortens the cycle of unnecessary tests and specialist visits, whose combined costs often exceed GeneSprout’s. A negative genetic result can also eliminate the need for further testing and provide peace of mind to families.
- At least 1,000 Children in the U.S. each year can benefit from earlier surveillance Diller et al, 2026
Detect a child is at increased risk for cancer before cancer appears
Research reported by Harvard suggests that genomic screening at birth could identify children at increased risk for certain childhood cancers, before symptoms appear, creating an opportunity for surveillance and early intervention.

1-year ROI for employers
Estimates are based on the population entered and GeneSprout’s proprietary ROI model. The methodology underlying the model was independently validated by Blue Raven Actuarial. Blue Raven does not validate projections for individual populations and is not responsible for the resulting estimates. Actual results will vary based on population demographics, screening participation rates, and other factors.

Case Study
Wilson's Disease
A rare genetic disorder causing copper to accumulate in the liver, brain, and other organs. When caught early, Wilson's Disease is highly treatable. When missed, it causes progressive and irreversible organ damage.
