The # 1
Way to Prevent Disease Is Through Inexpensive Blood Tests
Acumen BioLogics, Inc. Launches Online
Direct To Consumer Blood Chemistry Testing and Easy-to-Understand Results &
Educational Reports @

Salt Lake City, UT----May 2, 2008
– Acumen BioLogics, a Utah–based biotech company today launched
www.myhealthresults.com. My Health
Results is a secure web site empowering people with affordable blood chemistry
tests and online Smart Health Reports™. These secure online reports provide
consumers easy-to-understand results and educational information while
addressing the urgent need to bring ‘health’ back into healthcare.
Many diseases can be prevented with
early detection like type 2 diabetes. According to Dr. Todd Cameron, ND, “the
onset of type 2 diabetes can be delayed and/or prevented with early detection
through affordable blood testing and changes in diet and lifestyle.” My Health
Results offers important screenings from an A1C test for long term sugar control
and diabetes testing, all the way to screenings and tests for heart disease,
general wellness, and anti-aging hormone profiles, all with the valuable online
educational report.
Over 47 million Americans, 287,200 in
Utah, have no health insurance and do not have access to affordable blood
testing and educational information to actively manage their health. Even if
family members have insurance, many with autism and fibromyalgia are paying
thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic needed tests not covered by their
insurance.
CEO of Acumen BioLogics, Melinda O’Brien
said, “Detection through blood screening combined with education for prevention
is the foundation of myhealthresults.com. My Health Results offers affordable
blood testing, educational reports, and access. Insurance companies and
corporate wellness plans are begging people to take an active role in their
health and reduce costs. If people do not understand their lab results, how can
they make diet and lifestyle changes to prevent disease? We provide the tool to
do just that, with easy– to-understand results and educational information to
empower people in their health. We believe - It’s Your Health – You Should
Know!”
As the national health debate rages on,
politicians are reviewing the cost of care and access to insurance and quality.
Yet, prevention is still missing in the analysis. Many studies have proven it is
much more cost effective to prevent disease than to manage or cure disease.
Managing diabetes costs an average of $6,400 per year in healthcare costs; an
A1C screening through myhealthresults.com costs $25 and comes with an online
educational report so consumers can make informed decisions about their health,
diet, and lifestyle.
Many experts have agreed that the number
one way to reduce the overall cost of health care is by empowering people with
health education. The private sector is beginning to bring solutions to the
market to do just this. Myhealthresults.com is one of these companies.
