OUR APPROACH
Built by technologists, designed by oncology genetic counselors.
Helix Reserve was built from the intersection of technology and clinical genetic counseling expertise. The platform is designed by board-certified oncology genetic counselors and engineered by technologists with years of experience building healthcare-adjacent consumer products. Every subscriber case is reviewed by a board-certified genetic counselor before any clinical conclusion reaches you.
Share your family medical history
Our guided 10-step wizard walks you through your family tree — parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and children. For each relative, you'll note any cancer diagnoses and approximate ages at diagnosis.
We analyze your family patterns
Our risk assessment engine evaluates your family history against known hereditary cancer patterns — early-onset diagnoses, clustering across relatives, specific cancer combinations, and ancestry-linked risk factors.
See your initial results
You'll see a summary of what we found — how many relatives were analyzed, how many patterns were evaluated, and an initial indication of whether further review may be warranted.
A genetic counselor reviews your case
With a Helix Reserve subscription, a licensed genetic counselor reviews your specific findings and family history. They provide a personalized summary and recommendation — not a generic algorithm output.
Ongoing monitoring
Your family's health story evolves. Quarterly check-ins prompt you to update your record if anything has changed. When clinical guidelines are updated, we re-evaluate your case automatically and notify you if anything meaningful shifts.
