In addition to tracking individual cases, STAgoraâ„¢ enables users to monitor outbreaks across selected regions, both local and international. This capability provides real-time visibility into disease spread, enhancing situational awareness and supporting timely, data-driven public health responses. By equipping national and global health authorities with real-time epidemiological insight, the platform is expected to strengthen decision-making and support the development of effective response strategies to mitigate large-scale infectious disease outbreaks.
With more than 40 built-in statistical tools, STAgoraâ„¢ enables early detection of abnormal pathogen patterns and supports predictive modeling for seasonal trends and emerging outbreaks. These tools include modules for tracking individual infections, analyzing symptom-based co-infections and calculating real-time infection rate trends. Together, they help transform static data into forward-looking intelligence that guides proactive interventions.
Unlike traditional outbreak monitoring systems that rely on retrospective data, STAgoraâ„¢ performs real-time analysis of PCR-derived diagnostics. This allows for immediate visibility into pathogen spread and, through AI-based algorithms, the forecasting of potential future outbreaks.
"The key differentiator of STAgoraâ„¢ is its unique architecture, which aggregates real-time diagnostic data from around the world into a unified analysis platform," said Young-Seag Baeg, head of strategic planning at Seegene.
When paired with Seegene's proprietary syndromic quantitative PCR technology, STAgoraâ„¢ offers expanded visibility into both single-pathogen infections and simultaneous multi-pathogen co-infections. This comprehensive diagnostic insight empowers clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions at the point of care.
"During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw firsthand how crucial accurate and timely interpretation of diagnostic data was in shaping public health policies and clinical outcomes," said Daniel Shin, executive vice president and chief global sales and marketing officer at Seegene. "Now, as we confront increasingly complex threats such as antimicrobial resistance, viral mutations and co-infections, the ability to deliver actionable insights from diagnostic data is becoming a cornerstone of clinical innovation and a vital pillar of global health security."
Seegene will officially debut STAgoraâ„¢ at the 2025 Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) annual meeting, taking place July 27 to 31 in Chicago, USA. The event will highlight key capabilities of the platform, including its integration with CURECAâ„¢, Seegene's fully automated, unmanned PCR system. ADLM 2025 will also serve as a launchpad for Seegene to explore global collaboration and partnerships with healthcare leaders and clients.
