A Comprehensive Solution that Integrates Multiomics to Drive
Health Insights and Nutritional Guidance for 360o Health
Management
Precision Wellness, a Silicon Valley-based company at the
intersection of next-generation AI, big data analytics and the
latest medical science, today announced plans to harness the power
of multiomics to deliver personalized health insights and a
customized nutrition plan for disease prevention and healthy
aging.
Precision Wellness will bring together genomics, metabolomics,
microbiomics and nutrigenomics to deliver a complete multiomic
health assessment. This includes how an individual’s biology
responds to food and how food can be used as medicine.
“We want to profoundly improve the way people manage their
health by transforming our understanding of an individual’s genetic
and biological data into relevant and actionable health insights
and recommendations using food-as-medicine,” explains Precision
Wellness CEO Nazhin Zarghamee.
A Broad, Integrated, Data-Driven Approach to Wellness
Precision Wellness uses conventional biomarkers as well as
polygenic risk scores to establish an unprecedented understanding
of an individual’s state of health. Unlike other genetics companies
that report the existence of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
without demonstrating its relevance to the “true” risk of disease,
Precision Wellness’ proprietary algorithms employ the latest
scientific and evidence-based research to present relevant health
risks accompanied by actionable recommendations.
Precise health insights are extracted by a next-generation risk
engine designed on a foundation of the latest medical science.
Powered by big data and machine learning, prediction algorithms
have been built for cardiometabolic diseases. This AI-driven
approach yields a high degree of prediction accuracy.
In partnership with Stanford University and collaboration with
Broad Institute fellows, the Precision Wellness risk engine has
been validated across hundreds of thousands of patients tracked
longitudinally.
Personalized Nutrition Based on Science
According to the American Heart Association, cardiometabolic
diseases will affect more than 40 percent of the worldwide
population in one form or another over the next 10 years. They are
presently the #1 cause of death globally. But Precision Wellness
has a unique approach to the solution.
Precision Wellness provides individuals with their 360-degree
assessment. This includes their current state of health, biological
propensities, lifestyle and environmental exposures as well as
genetic predispositions to cardiometabolic diseases. A highly
curated food plan is then developed to address the person’s health
risk factors and preconditions.
“Early insights are critically important in changing the arc of
a disease — to prevent onset of new or delay progression of
existing disease. We are moving healthcare from the realm of
reactive medicine to proactive wellness” says Dr. Mehrdad Rezaee,
President of Cardiac and Vascular Care and Precision Wellness
co-founder.
