What employers are saying

What is Know Your Number®?
“It takes your lab results and combines these results with your family and personal medical history and your current medical information and predicts the chances of your developing a chronic disease over the next five years.”

What prompted your company to decide to make use of Know Your Number®?
“We care about our employees and wanted to do something to address our employees’ health issues. We were going to bring in a nurse and have a health clinic. This individual would handle the basic medical needs of our employees and provide ongoing health education. Know Your Number was brought to my attention. I realized the impact it could have in helping to educate and motivate our employees. Like most companies, 20% of our employees result in 80% of our health costs. We quickly realized the proactive aspects Know Your Number would afford all our employees.

When I ran it by our CFO he immediately saw the benefits of Know Your Number as proactive health awareness. It was in the best interest of our employees’ health and their well-being. We did a pilot with 500 employees, more than half were above or at high risk. This fact got our attention, more than half!”
 
Why does your company use Know Your Number®?

“To educate our employees on the state of their health; our employees are very important to us and we care about them. When employees are healthier they are more productive. We wanted to do something that would have a positive impact on their lives. Know Your Number has made an impact on our company because it has changed how our employees view their health and what they can do to improve it.”

Are there similar products/services on the market?
“Yes, we’ve used them. There’s no comparison, other services are too passive.”

Who is Know Your Number’s competition?
“None, it’s a great service.”

How does Know Your Number® differ from current products/services on the market?
“Takes a person’s lab results and graphically shows what Chronic Diseases they could develop in the next 5 years. It also shows how much they can reduce their risks.”

What are the benefits of Know Your Number® to your employees?
“Graphically shows them just how healthy they are, what chronic diseases they could develop and shows how they can reduce the predicted outcome and it works, proactive not passive.”

Do you consider using Know Your Number® as a competitive edge?
“Yes, if our employees are healthier we are more productive. It’s important for our employees to know we care about them and that includes their health. Reducing our health claims also makes us more competitive; reduces costs.”

Do you consider BioSignia’s Know Your Number® an industry leader?
“Yes, it is a great service. Our plan is to have our employee’s results from their Know Your Number sent to their physician. This will be handled by a nurse. The nurse will also follow-up with the employee. It is proactive healthcare and in the best interest of our employees. If an employee is high risk, we will arrange for more regular testing. It is important for our employees to see results.”

Do you consider Know Your Number® a “need” or a “want” regarding your healthcare services?
“Need, I can see from my Know Your Number graphs what I need to address and see the results of what I’ve done to improve my health. When I saw my graphs from my lab results I knew I had to do something. When I saw my second set of results and how much I reduced my levels and saw the graphs, I knew I was in control of my health and moving in the right direction. It let me know that I can improve my health.”

Has Know Your Number® made a difference in how you view your health?
“Yes, because I want to live longer. I’m 60 years old. Today 60 is equal to being 40 years ago. Know Your Number lets me know what I have to work on and shows me my progress in reaching my goal.”
