预防性健康初创公司Prenuvo于周四宣布,除了其标志性的全身核磁共振扫描外,还将提供三项新的健康评估服务。该公司推出了详细血液检测、神经系统扫描以及近期获得美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的体成分分析。Prenuvo表示,旨在为客户提供准确的健康状况概览,并回应患者对更多服务的需求。Prenuvo首席执行官安德鲁·莱西在接受CNBC采访时指出:“人们逐渐认识到,现行医疗体系在维护健康方面未能满足他们的需求。消费者正日益寻求替代解决方案,以便更好地掌控自身健康。”

Prenuvo因提供2500美元的全身核磁共振扫描而声名鹊起,该服务受到金·卡戴珊等名人的赞誉。公司利用其定制且获FDA批准的核磁共振设备,在一小时内完成人体扫描,可检测包括癌症、多发性硬化症和动脉瘤在内的数百种病症。莱西透露,全身扫描与新增的血液检测、神经系统扫描及体成分报告将打包以3999美元的价格提供给客户。

Prenuvo已拥有超过11万名会员,去年实现营收1亿美元。公司在北美拥有并运营17家诊所,并计划在未来数月内扩展至包括欧洲和澳大利亚在内的15个新地点。尽管发展迅速,Prenuvo已实现盈利。然而,其高昂价格引发批评,部分医学专家警告称,此类扫描不应替代针对性筛查,可能导致患者寻求不必要的医疗干预。尽管如此,投资者仍持乐观态度。公司周四宣布完成1.2亿美元融资,由Left Lane Capital、Forerunner Ventures及现有投资者Felicis共同领投。新资金将用于支持产品扩展、进军新市场及探索人工智能应用。

竞争对手Ezra去年二月宣布完成2100万美元融资。Prenuvo拥有全球最大的全身核磁共振影像库,莱西表示,这为公司构建模型以提升检查准确性及80位获得认证的放射科医生效率提供了大量机会。

公司新推出的体成分分析报告——Prenuvo体成分报告,运用人工智能评估肌肉体积与对称性及腹部脂肪分布。莱西强调,肌肉大小与分布是行动能力的重要指标,脂肪分布则影响代谢性疾病和心血管疾病风险。对于希望主动管理健康的患者而言,这些信息至关重要。患者无需额外成像即可获取Prenuvo体成分报告。

Prenuvo的新脑健康扫描同样基于成像技术,让患者了解其认知健康与功能。该扫描采用公司内部开发的神经序列,评估血流、大脑微血管结构并识别如运动等活动导致的重复性创伤。莱西称,此扫描需额外10分钟成像时间,相关序列已获FDA批准。血液检测则是Prenuvo的新领域。 ompany, and it will check patients’ biomarkers to provide insights into hormonal, cardiovascular, metabolic and immune health. Lacy said the test could help detect leukemia, a blood cancer that can’t be identified with imaging, for instance. “Blood and imaging together is just incredibly powerful,” Lacy said. “It’s not a case of one plus one equals two, it’s one plus one equals five.”Initially, a phlebotomist, a person who is trained to draw blood, will come to patients’ homes to collect the blood sample, Prenuvo said. The company also plans to draw blood inside its facilities eventually, but Lacy wants to provide a premium experience that is as calming and comfortable as possible.Patients can access the new assessments at Prenuvo’s Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and New York locations starting Thursday. Additional locations will offer the tests this spring, the company said. “No one is going to care about your health more than you do,” Lacy said. “When you diagnose things early, it’s empowering. You can do something about it.”Watch: John Hancock CEO talks collaboration with Prenuvo and focus on longevitywatch nowVIDEO5:1305:13John Hancock CEO talks collaboration with Prenuvo and focus on longevityClosing Bell: Overtime
