PersonaLabs and BioSignia Join to Offer Targeted Risk Assessment
New tool utilizes easily accessible lab tests and health
questionnaire to determine health risks
Fort Myers, Fla. (10.12.11) – If you could learn that you
have a 42 percent chance of developing diabetes in the next five
years and 75 percent of that chance could be altered by lifestyle
changes – would you want to know? PersonaLabs, one of the nation’s
leading online direct-to-consumer online lab test and health
information companies has teamed up with BioSignia, the company
behind Know Your Number HealthScore as seen on The Biggest Loser
television show, to provide a new tool for consumers, physicians,
trainers and corporate wellness programs, the Targeted Risk
Assessment (TRA). The TRA combines blood tests available through
Personalabs.com with a risk assessment questionnaire that identifies
risks for diabetes, heart disease, stroke and lung cancer.
“Providing a tangible tool that clearly identifies risks as well as
the opportunity to decrease that risk puts control back into the
hands of the consumers,” said Edward Salko, D.O., medical director
of PersonaLabs. “As the world of medicine continues to evolve, this
technology stands at the front of the pack and is truly the wave of
the future.”
“BioSignia is excited to partner with Personalabs to provide a
product enhancement that further empowers consumers to be proactive
in their health management. Streamlining the process makes it easier
than ever to gain measurable results that go beyond the results of a
simple lab test,” said John Schilhab, senior vice president,
BioSignia.
PERSONALABS.com, a national leading direct-to-consumer laboratory
testing and health information company, requires no physician’s
office visit to order laboratory tests online. Results are
client-only accessible on our proprietary software and
HIPAA-compliant secure server. PersonaLabs.com provides clients a
more active role in their health care. For more information, visit
