The Problem:
Slow Testing Drives Unnecessary Utilization

Traditional diagnostics leave providers without clear answers, forcing “just-in-case” antibiotic prescribing. This approach discourages testing, drives overprescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and contributes directly to increased follow-up visits, ED utilization, and higher overall system spending.

Escalating Costs & Impacts

  • Up to 28% of outpatient antibiotics are prescribed unnecessarily.1
  • 1 in 5 medication-related ED visits stems from antibiotic side effects.3
  • $4.6 billion annually: The estimated cost to treat Americans with infections caused by antimicrobial resistant germs.4

Growing Resistance

  • There are 2.8 million resistant infections in the U.S. annually.2
  • Over 35,000 Americans die yearly from antimicrobial-resistant infections.2
  • By 2050: The toll of drug-resistant infections is predicted to rise by 70%, leading to significant loss of life:5
    • 40 million deaths globally each year5
    • 2 million deaths in the U.S. each year5

The Problem:
Slow Testing Drives Unnecessary Utilization

Traditional methods take days to deliver results, leaving providers without clear answers and prescribing “just-in-case” antibiotics. This discourages testing, drives overprescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and fuels antimicrobial resistance—all which lead to higher costs and poorer outcomes.

Slow diagnostics also contribute directly to increased follow-up visits, ED utilization, and higher overall system spending.

Accuracy Matters

HealthTrack delivers reliable answers and more cost-efficient care.

  • High Specificity: Accurately identifies target pathogens minimizing the risk of false positives
  • High Sensitivity: Identifies pathogens when other methods may yield false negative
  • Quality Control: High standards minimize contamination risk and ensure consistency
  • Versatility: Detects a broad range of pathogens from a single sample

    Yes. Multiple real-world studies show lower total cost of care, fewer visits, lower pharmacy burden, and reduced duplicate testing.

    • Fewer unnecessary antibiotics
    • Reduced return visits
    • Lower ED utilization
    • Faster recovery
    • Improved productivity and reduced missed work
    • Low-cost contracted opportunities
    • Measurable payor savings

    Reimbursement varies by payor and region, but HealthTrack supports predictable structures including flat fees, transparent coding, and coverage aligned with value-based principles.

    Next-morning results enable providers to make timely, evidence-based decisions; allow patients to avoid unnecessary or delayed treatment; and help clinics streamline workflow and enhance satisfaction.

    Broader detection:

    • Improves accuracy
    • Decreases missed infections
    • Reduces repeat testing
    • Improves treatment outcomes
    • Lowers system costs
