Our Story One Year In

In June 2024, after losing yet another relative to liver cancer—just weeks after diagnosis—I decided to ask a simple but urgent question: Why aren’t cancers caught earlier, when something could still be done? This wasn’t the first loss. Too many of my extended family members had passed from cancer—often within weeks of their diagnosis. That pattern haunted me. What if early cancer detection could be as simple as a blood test—like how we screen for cholesterol or liver function today? As a computer science and engineering professional with 25+ years in the software industry, I’ve spent my career solving complex data problems. This time, I chose to apply that experience to an urgent health problem. After exploring recent breakthroughs in DNA methylation and AI/ML, I launched a feasibility project to explore whether a proof of concept, early cancer detection test could be built using existing public data.That idea became OmicXHealth, and the past year has taken it from concept to clinical validation.
