Enhancing Organ Procurement
The organ recovery and transplant industries are highly fragmented, and the transplant industry cannot scale with the current infrastructure. MediGO is digitally transforming donation and transplantation workflows to increase organ utilization and save more lives. Our solutions optimize complex logistics from referral to recovery and during the critical movement of organs and teams. The MediGO acquisition provides a unique and strategic advantage for CareDx and the industry as a whole to further strengthen and enable the growth of organ procurement by increasing volume of transplantation with the goal of eliminating the waitlist of organs, improving the patient journey, and ultimately saving lives.
