BioSignia, a predictive modeling company providing innovative
solutions for chronic disease prevention and management, today
announced the signing of a licensing agreement with emerging
innovative on site care delivery organization, NeoPath Health Inc.
The agreement between the companies is centered on the addition of

onsite clinic offerings. BioSignia’s “Know Your Number” health
assessment calculates an employee’s risk for getting several of the
nation’s most prevalent chronic diseases over a 5 year time period.

lifestyle can make on preventing the onset of specific diseases.
The primary objective of NeoPath Health is to provide small
and medium-sized businesses with on-site medical clinics staffed by
physicians. The goal is to drive down insurance costs for employers,
as well as keep employees healthy, ensuring they spend less time out
of the office. In addition to providing services treating or
managing sick employees, NeoPath offers wellness services that help
keep employees and their families well.
“We did an
extensive search for an evidence-based assessment tool that would
provide the clinically sound information our staff needs to maximize
effectiveness of our wellness initiatives,” says Joe McErlane, CEO
of NeoPath Health. “When we saw the science behind Know Your Number,
we knew we had found the right solution for our applications; Know
Your Number provides our clinic staff with actionable health
information, offers insight into the most effective wellness
programs to initiate, and documents the results of our services This
provides both NeoPath Health and our clients the information needed
to be successful.”
“We are excited to have been selected
by NeoPath Health to compliment what promises to be a very effective
wellness offering for corporations today,” said John Schilhab, EVP
of BioSignia. “Our scientists have worked diligently to create a
solution that provides wellness program participants with the
clinically-sound, actionable information they need to achieve better
health, and we are pleased to extend the delivery of our tool within
the onsite clinic segment.” added Schilhab.
