The feature draws on expert-written articles and more than 10 years of data and insights

InsideTracker, the leading personalized health platform, today announced the addition of its newest feature: Ask InsideTracker, an AI-powered language model that allows members to explore wellness topics and find real-time solutions to health challenges.

Ask InsideTracker is built on OpenAI’s GPT-4, so it’s familiar and easy to use. But it’s filtered through InsideTracker’s extensive library of educational material, which allows it to cut through the noise of unscientific health advice.

When members query Ask InsideTracker, they’re having a conversation with a massive library of articles written and reviewed by InsideTracker experts in nutrition, exercise physiology, preventive health, and biology. That leads to science-backed answers and trustworthy information on health, longevity, and biomarkers. Members can ask, “Why do I have high iron with low ferritin?” or “Which biomarkers should I focus on improving if my ultimate goal is to increase my VO2max?”

As a large language model (LLM), Ask InsideTracker will supplement InsideTracker’s personalized recommendations in real time. It can go deep on individual health topics, or it can simplify complex advice to meet the member where they are in their health journey.

“InsideTracker has always been ahead of the game with AI,” said Renée Deehan, PhD, InsideTracker’s Senior Vice President of Science and AI. “For years, the driving force of our recommendation engine has been a type of AI called ‘knowledge representation and reasoning.’ Ask InsideTracker is our way of doubling-down on our commitment to AI. As our first LLM-based product feature, it allows members to speak directly with more than a decade’s worth of education material written by InsideTracker experts.”

As science evolves, so does Ask InsideTracker. InsideTracker is constantly updating its educational library, so Ask InsideTracker will always have access to the most current research and information.

“With the Ask InsideTracker model ingrained into our app and desktop interfaces, I’m excited for our members to gain access to pertinent information surrounding biomarkers, nutritional information, and general health guidance faster and easier than ever before,” said Gil Blander, PhD, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer. “I am hopeful that our members will leave the conversations with our Ask InsideTracker feature more informed and excited about how they can optimize their health through tangible and actionable changes.”

Future versions of Ask InsideTracker will allow a secure experience where members can engage with their own blood, DNA, and fitness tracker data. The Ask InsideTracker feature is currently only available to members. They can access it any time they’re logged in to the InsideTracker platform.

Investment will allow NeuroTherapia to continue the development of an orally available treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.

NeuroTherapia, Inc., a clinical-stage company and Cleveland Clinic Innovations portfolio company focused on developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today the first closing of its Series B financing with $12.3M in funding. The Series B round, led by Cleveland Clinic, includes all previous investors, Brain Trust Accelerator Fund II, Dolby Family Ventures and the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) as well as new investors, Foundation for a Better World and CRUINT. NeuroTherapia is using this funding primarily for the continued clinical development of NTRX-07, an orally available cannabinoid receptor agonist, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The company will continue to raise additional funds for its second close in six months, which will enable development of a recently discovered second generation molecule for a separate indication in which neuroinflammation plays a major role.

 “We were pleased with the Phase 1b trial results that demonstrated a trend toward cognitive benefits in Alzheimer’s disease and wanted to continue its development as rapidly as possible,” commented Joseph Rich, JD, MBA, Senior Director, Cleveland Clinic Innovations, and lead investor representative in this financing. “We believe that the Company’s planned Phase 2a trial has the potential to not only demonstrate the ability of NTRX-07 to inhibit neuroinflammation, but it could also lead to an improvement in biomarkers of cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.”

Coincident with the financing, the company welcomes Adam Hoffman to its Board of Directors as an Observer. Mr. Hoffman is an experienced investor and entrepreneur, currently serving as President of Foundation for a Better World. Mr. Hoffman joins Mr. Reher, who will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board, Tony Giordano, Ph.D., NeuroTherapia’s President and CEO, and Joseph Rich and Jim Ellis from Cleveland Clinic and Akhil Saklecha, M.D., the CSO at Danaher, on the Board. In addition, Meriel Owen, Ph.D., Director of Search and Evaluation at the ADDF, serves as an Observer.

“We are extremely fortunate to have the continued support of our previous investors and to add new investors with significant AD experience,” said Dr. Giordano. “The Board has provided invaluable insights over the past 4+ years and I am excited to continue to work with them to advance NTRX-07 for treating AD.”

In addition to the Phase 2a trial, NeuroTherapia will use funding from this financing to study NTRX-07 in a preclinical model of ARIA (a significant side effect observed with administration of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies) in combination with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Based on its mechanism of action, NTRX-07 may reduce or prevent the ARIA side effect associated with monoclonal antibody treatment and/or improve the benefits of these therapies. A demonstration of activity in the preclinical ARIA study could lead to subsequent trials where NTRX-07 is used in combination with the therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to provide additional patient benefits. The company has also identified second-generation molecules that will be advanced for other indications associated with increased neuroinflammation, such as pain, Parkinson’s disease or ALS.

  •  Unilabs (“Unilabs”), a leading international provider of diagnostic services, and C2N Diagnostics, LLC (“C2N”),  a pioneer in advanced diagnostic solutions in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related neurological disorders, today announced a major milestone in brain health diagnostics and research across Europe and beyond.

    Unilabs and C2N have signed a multi-year partnership agreement that will increase access to C2N’s Precivity portfolio of blood tests on an exclusive basis in Europe, including Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The agreement will also provide access in Peru, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

    “Alzheimer’s disease is on the rise, making it essential to innovate by offering less invasive and more accessible diagnostic procedures for patients,” said Unilabs’ Head of Innovation Dr. Rahul Chaudhary.  “All too often, diagnosing Alzheimer’s has been painful, invasive and expensive. This partnership will transform the diagnostic experience for patients with cognitive concerns while revolutionizing early diagnosis, and research efforts, and positively impacting long-term outcomes.”

    He continued, “C2N’s Precivity portfolio of blood tests and its innovative biomarker pipeline offer the highest performance precision tools in the industry1. We expect these innovations to appeal to healthcare providers in Europe, the Gulf Region and Latin America who rely on us, and to our biopharma collaborators who are developing new therapies. Patients worldwide deserve access to an early diagnosis, leveraging personalized medicine tools that can enable better treatment decisions and activate long-term disease prevention strategies. We are confident these tests can help in achieving better outcomes for patients, as we continue in our mission to power health and maximize life.”

    C2N’s Precivity portfolio of blood tests aid healthcare providers and researchers in the detection of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary “tau” tangles in the brain, which are pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These tests also help to inform medical management and treatment decisions based on the underlying causes of dementia.

    This strategic partnership also plans to facilitate a technology transfer of C2N’s proprietary portfolio of Alzheimer’s blood biomarkers to deliver a Unilabs testing network across Europe, ensuring Precivity testing can be performed at qualified healthcare institutions with the same quality, consistency and accuracy currently delivered at C2N’s central CAP/CLIA lab in St. Louis, Mo.

    Both companies believe this partnership will transform global Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis for patients with cognitive concerns or at high risk of future AD or AD-related dementias.

    Healthcare Sector Eager for Easy-to-Access, Less Invasive Tests

    C2N previously announced in 2020 that the PrecivityAD® blood test achieved the CE Mark from the European Union (EU) and also has In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation legacy device status under Regulation (EU) 2017/746, which allows for commercial availability in the EU as an in vitro diagnostic to aid in the evaluation of patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. In addition, the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved the PrecivityAD blood test as an in vitro diagnostic to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

    C2N CEO Dr. Joel Braunstein said, “The sobering impact of Alzheimer’s disease reaches beyond any one country’s borders and that’s why it’s vital we respond to the global interest in our Precivity blood tests. We believe this collaboration allows for the acceleration of equitable access to the highest quality blood biomarkers that can aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. To date, we’ve secured other international arrangements and now, we’re very proud to enter this multi-faceted strategic affiliation with Unilabs, an organization that places a premium on quality in testing and in personalized diagnostics for Alzheimer’s disease.”

    The PrecivityAD2™ and PrecivityAD blood tests use highly sensitive and specialized laboratory technologies to identify and measure certain proteins that are found in the blood and that are known to be associated with the presence of brain amyloid plaques, one of the brain pathology findings of Alzheimer’s disease. The main test result is a clinically validated score that determines a patient’s likelihood category for the presence of brain amyloid plaques. Like other tests that evaluate for brain amyloid pathology in clinical patients, such as amyloid PET scan or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing, the Precivity blood tests can be used by healthcare providers to interpret the test results, along with other medical information.

    The tests are intended for use in patients 55 years and older with signs or symptoms of mild cognitive impairment or dementia. These tests are only available for order by qualified healthcare providers.

    C2N and Unilabs expect the Precivity portfolio of blood tests will become available to Unilabs customers over the coming months, depending on geographic region.

    Fountain Life CORE provides a recurring, comprehensive, longevity-focused blood panel paired with expert analysis and ongoing guidance from a Fountain Life longevity physician and health coach.

    Fountain Life, an advanced diagnostics, longevity and preventative health company, today announced Fountain Life CORE, its new membership package that provides an entry point to longevity and proactive health optimization for millions of Americans.

    Fountain Life is committed to enhancing and preserving each member’s quality of life throughout the aging process by identifying potential issues before they become serious health concerns. The company is creating a new kind of predictive, preventive, personalized, and data-driven healthcare. By leveraging informed AI technologies and advanced diagnostic testing to identify conditions such as cancer, cardiac, metabolic, and neurodegenerative disease at the earliest stages, Fountain Life empowers individuals to live a longer, healthier, and optimized life. 

    At $2995 per year, the Fountain Life CORE membership provides a pathway for new members to prioritize their health and get started on a proactive journey toward optimized health and longevity. CORE includes quarterly blood tests that analyze dozens of biomarkers, uncovering deep insights about a member’s cardiovascular health, metabolic health, hormonal balance, inflammatory response, and nutrition levels. Each test is followed by a televisit review with a Fountain Life longevity physician who creates a customized optimization plan based on the member’s biomarker results, lifestyle, environment, and genetic factors. Between physician visits, CORE members work with a Fountain Life certified health coach to achieve the goals laid out in the customized health plan. Fountain Life’s approach is rooted in the principles of functional medicine, which includes a balance of treating symptoms while also uncovering the underlying root cause of health issues.

    “Fountain Life is fundamentally changing the approach to health and longevity. We recognize that traditional primary care physicians often fall short in fully assessing health diagnostics to optimize well-being and promote longevity and typically don’t employ the root cause, functional medicine approach. With our new CORE membership, we’re opening doors to proactive health for everyone while also extending our focus on longevity. This initiative embodies our commitment to equip everyone with the resources needed for proactive health management and longevity promotion, including access to some of the most advanced diagnostic tools available.” William Kapp, MD, CEO & Co-Founder, Fountain Life.

    The Fountain Life CORE membership is easily and conveniently managed through an exclusive Fountain Life mobile app experience.  Members can schedule blood draws and appointments with Fountain Life physicians and health coaches, monitor their test results and progress over time, and access a comprehensive library of longevity and health-related content.  In addition, a CORE membership grants individuals access to additional a la carte diagnostic testing to detect asymptomatic cardiac disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and metabolic dysfunction.  Fountain Life centers offer some of the most advanced health diagnostics available today, including AI-enhanced Full-Body and Brain MRI and Coronary CT Angiography.
