Kenota Health is an entrepreneurially minded team with deep scientific, clinical and commercial expertise. An idea first sparked in the tech hotbed of Waterloo Region has grown into a team of passionate and innovative professionals, collectively focused on elevating healthcare through the world’s best data and testing technology.
We believe in better
We believe medical tests – whether for allergies or disease detection – can be conducted when and where they’re needed. We believe accurate testing can be done quickly, conveniently and less invasively, to improve both the patient and physician experience.
Allergies
They aren’t getting better – but the testing is
Worldwide there’s a growing number of allergy sufferers – many of them children. One in seven people suffers from some form of allergy, and one in ten from a food allergy.1 The Kenota System provides accurate allergy sensitization information at the point of care to improve patient diagnosis, care and treatment plans.
Market is vast and growing
The allergy market is immense, well established and underserved from a technology perspective. And because testing allergy sensitization is well understood by the market, our system faces far fewer barriers to adoption.
Allergy testing today
Today’s most commonly used allergy tests are skin prick tests performed in the allergist’s clinic and blood-based tests performed in a lab.
IgE EXPLAINED
If you have an allergy, your immune system will overreact to an allergen by producing antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies result in the release of chemicals that cause symptoms when a patient is exposed to the allergen. Reactions can range from mild to severe.
SKIN PRICK TESTING
Skin prick tests are a first line test conducted in the allergist’s clinic. An allergen is applied to the skin, which is pricked and visually monitored for an atopic reaction.
BLOOD-BASED TESTING
Conducted in a lab, blood-based testing identifies the likely causes of IgE reactions to allergens. While it provides better diagnostic information, it requires more blood, is more invasive and less convenient and sends patients away from their allergist for the procedure.
