Pharmacogenomics Test
Stack this specialty add-on test on top of your initial baseline blood panel to further personalize how medications fit into your health journey.
This test analyzes genetic markers that influence how your body processes common medications, including those related to cardiovascular care, common chronic conditions, pain and mental health. All sample processing and testing are completed in accredited Canadian laboratories.
Your results are reviewed with a genetic counselor and then integrated with your biomarker data so your primary care provider can make safer, more informed prescribing decisions—a powerful way to reduce uncertainty and bring confidence to medication choices over time.

Better together
We don't believe in single tests in isolation, nor DIY guesswork. That's why your NiaHealth clinician is here to help you identify patterns, personalize action plans, and help you feel better now while lowering risk for tomorrow.
Why it matters
Medications do not work the same way for everyone, and trial and error can lead to unnecessary side effects or delays in care.
Pharmacogenomics adds foresight, helping you and your clinicians choose treatments that are more likely to work for your body from the start.

Track compounding progress
Every specialty add-on test includes a human clinician who reviews your data and writes a hyper-personalized report.
The best part? All your data is in one place on your secure dashboard: your blood biomarker results, integrated wearable & health app data, and specialty test scores, together for compound effect, and guided by human clinician-written insights.
Your genetics don’t change, but how we interpret them does. As new pharmacogenomics research emerges, we update your dashboard so your medication guidance stays aligned with the latest science and your evolving care.
