MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 29, 2020 /Digbi Newswire/ -- Digbi Cares™ is a prescription-grade digital therapeutic platform that uses artificial intelligence to analyze genetics, gut bacteria, lifestyle habits, and socioeconomic and behavioral risk patterns, creating an evidence-based personalized nutrition, fitness, sleep and stress management program proven to reduce weight and reverse weight-related inflammatory gut, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and insulin-related illnesses.

Essential workers, personalized care
Health and wellness for our employees and first responders are our first priority. Digbi has been a true partner by providing webinars on various health topics, coupled with offering personalized weight management programs based on each person's DNA and gut biome to all of our employees.

Why risk varies by individual
Digbi Health is filling a critical gap in remote digital care. These disease risks vary significantly by gender and ethnicity because they are rooted in the genetics and gut microbiome of the individual. Government employees are essential workers, and our team felt it is important for Digbi Health to provide them the opportunity to understand their health on the deepest level and protect themselves and their family.

About Digbi Health
Digbi Health is the precision biology care company unifying metabolic and inflammatory care — including obesity, cardiometabolic, gastrointestinal, and inflammatory disorders. These illnesses share a root cause: a mismatch between an individual's biology and the one-size-fits-all lifestyle guidance they've been given. Digbi combines the gut microbiome, genetics, advanced blood biomarkers, and continuous digital health data to build a unique biological profile for each individual and identify what is driving their disease. AI then personalizes lifestyle treatment and, when needed, clinical treatment, delivered through the first precision-biology AI-orchestrated national telehealth platform. Through Digbi Labs, we invest in our vision of making chronic illness optional and advancing healthspan — partnering with leading universities, pharmaceutical companies, and scientific and clinical laboratories, running distributed human trials and publishing peer-reviewed research on genetics, the gut microbiome, and the use of AI to deliver care that is safe, cost-effective, and accessible. Digbi's healthcare cost reduction is documented in multiple peer-reviewed actuarial claims studies. Digbi is accessible to 30 million individuals through more than 300 employers and health plans.
