What we won’t do
This list matters as much as the feature list.
- —
Embryo screening or PGT-P.
Permanently. We don't interpret embryos, fetal samples, or any prenatal genetic data. We will not partner with companies that do.
- —
Longevity hand-waving.
When we can cite a peer-reviewed validated score, we'll ship it. Until then, we leave the longevity narrative to the supplement market.
- —
Telling you what to take.
We never recommend a drug, dose, supplement, or treatment plan. Findings are informational. Clinical decisions are between you and your prescriber.
- —
Selling your data.
We don't share, rent, or sell genetic data to researchers, pharmaceutical companies, or advertisers without your explicit, granular, revocable opt-in.
Free tier
Try it before you pay for it.
Upload a 23andMe or Ancestry file. See two real PGx findings on your own genome. Upgrade only if it's useful.
All prices in USD. Annual plans billed up-front at a 17% discount. Helica is informational and not a substitute for medical advice. Discuss any change to your medications with a licensed prescriber.
