Partnership Announcement: My Personal Health Bank Joins Forces with Eldon Biologicals A/S for Innovative Healthcare Solutions incorporating POC Blood Typing

We are thrilled to announce a partnership between My Personal Health Bank and Eldon Biologicals A/S. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our continuous efforts to revolutionize healthcare and empower individuals to take control of their well-being.

At My Personal Health Bank, our mission has always been to provide comprehensive and personalized healthcare solutions that prioritize individual health data security and accessibility. Through our partnership with Eldon Biologicals, we are taking another leap forward in achieving this goal by incorporating their blood typing technology into our platform.

 

Incorporation of the EldonCard within My Personal Health Bank

One of the key highlights of this collaboration is the integration of Eldon Biologicals' renowned product, the Eldoncard, within My Personal Health Bank’s web application. The Eldoncard is a reliable and easy-to-use POC blood typing card that reveals an individual's blood type. Now, when patients undergo blood testing using the Eldoncard, they have the option to securely store their blood type data directly in their personal health profiles within our platform. This integration will provide users with a seamless experience, allowing them to conveniently access their blood type information alongside their other health records.

Knowing your blood type holds significant importance in various aspects of healthcare. It plays a crucial role in receiving blood transfusions, aiding in swift and accurate compatibility matching. Additionally, blood type awareness contributes to effective blood donor recruitment, ensuring a steady supply for those in need. Pregnant women, especially in rural areas, benefit from blood type testing as it helps identify potential complications and enables appropriate preventive measures. Furthermore, understanding your blood type offers insights into your susceptibility to certain medical conditions, empowering you to make informed choices for your health.

A study of 10.000 pregnant women in Kenya to fight against “The Rhesus Disease”

Rhesus disease is a preventable condition, but in most developing countries no consolidated efforts are made to precent Rhesus disease among all women. Rhesus disease is a condition where a Rh-negative mother is exposed to blood that is Rh-positive, most often through pregnancy with a Rh-positive child, her immune system mistakes this as an invader and reacts accordingly. As the sensitizing takes time, the first child is normally unharmed. However, in following pregnancies the condition can lead perinatal death and disability.

Furthermore, we are excited to announce that we have been invited to join a research initiative in partnership with Eldon Biologicals. This collaborative effort involves conducting a study in Kenya, where we aim to test the blood types of 10.000 pregnant women with the EldonCard to find the RhD Neg women and by use of the MPHB APP connect them to the health system so they will get the needed treatment. This study holds great importance as it enables us to identify pregnant women and support their prophylactic treatment. By leveraging this valuable data, we can ensure that expectant mothers receive targeted care and treatment tailored to their unique needs, thereby promoting the well-being of both mother and child. It is also an opportunity to generate new volunteer blood donors, addressing the critical donor shortage that exists in most African countries, thereby enabling better responses to many clinical challenges, including women experiencing complications when giving birth.  

An investment

In addition to these joint projects, Eldon Biologicals is making an investment in My Personal Health Bank. This partnership signifies their confidence in our mission and shared vision to drive innovation in healthcare and improve patient outcomes. With their support, we will further enhance our platform's capabilities and expand our reach, allowing us to serve a larger population and empower more individuals to proactively manage their health.

We are immensely excited about the prospects this partnership brings to our users and the healthcare community at large. By combining the expertise of My Personal Health Bank and Eldon Biologicals, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in personalized healthcare and medical research.

Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of our joint projects and the latest enhancements to our platform. Together, My Personal Health Bank and Eldon Biologicals are committed to revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered, ensuring a brighter, healthier future for all.
