BioSignia Targets Nation’s Top Disease Killers: Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Stroke

Research Triangle Park, N.C. - A powerful one-page report developed by BioSignia can help people stay healthier longer and dramatically reduce the nation’s rising health care costs. Designed by a leading technology company, Know Your Number™ is a breakthrough disease-specific risk assessment tool (DRA) that transcends standard health risk assessments (HRA). Heart disease, diabetes, and stroke are the nation’s top disease killers and avoidance of these diseases can begin by just knowing your risks.

In 30 minutes or less, Know Your Number collects information about you, such as your weight, blood pressure, family history, and lifestyle habits. Then, it uses a proprietary technology called, Synthesis Analysis™, to produce a detailed report on your risks of developing specific diseases. It’s unlike any other health risk assessment tool because it uses a multi-dimensional approach by isolating individual and aggregate data on absolute risk: what is the likelihood of developing a specific disease within 5 years; relative risk: how you compare to your peers; and modifiable risk: things relating to your lifestyle and habits that you can modify.

Know Your Number’s DRA approach is different from HRA’s in three ways:

1. It focuses on the main disease killers.
While other assessment tools just look at overall health, Know Your Number predicts an individual’s risks of developing the three main chronic preventable disease killers in the U.S.

2. It shows what your specific risk is and how to reduce those risks.
This testing reveals what fraction of a chronic disease risk is modifiable and lets you know what factors (e.g. lack of exercise, smoking) are contributing to the risks of developing specific chronic conditions.

3. It compares you to your peers through an easy-to-read report.
Only Know Your Number addresses the multiple risk dimensions of specific chronic diseases unmatched by any HRA available.
