The startup Metafora Biosystems, which develops a platform for cellular metabolism analysis, announced on March 11th the reimbursement approval in France for its METAglut1 test, aiding in the diagnosis of Glut1 transporter deficiency syndrome since February 15th. This blood-based test is less invasive than the previously preferred lumbar puncture. It’s the first healthcare technology from the innovation package to be reimbursed under general law. The data from this study were collected, monitored, and sent to the SNDS by Telemedicine Technologies using its CleanWeb™ eClinical Suite, a highly qualitative, adaptable, and cost-effective solution tailored for the electronic management of phase I to IV studies, Managed Access Programs, registries, and projects in cosmetology. The company also mentioned ongoing development of other oncology tests.

Since 2018, this test has been funded by the innovation package, aimed at promoting secure access to innovative healthcare technologies and supporting project developers in collecting clinical and health economic data. Mind Health provided detailed coverage of this process.
