Investments Totaling Nearly $400 Million in Leading Bio and Health Technology Companies Fuel Single Vision to Give Every Individual a Personalized Guide for Living Well

At the first Digital Life Summit, iCarbonX founder Jun Wang announced that seven companies have joined iCarbonX's Digital Life Alliance and will collaborate to give people a deeper understanding of the medical, behavioral and environmental factors that can accelerate disease or optimize health. Wang also announced that the iCarbonX ecosystem has invested a total of nearly $400 million in the seven companies that form the alliance: SomaLogic, HealthTell, PatientsLikeMe, AOBiome, GALT, Imagu and Robustnique.

The Digital Life Alliance is an unprecedented ecosystem of the world's leading bio, health networking, sequencing and artificial intelligence (AI) technology and application companies. The alliance's ultimate aim is to merge comprehensive biological and patient-generated data with AI technology to instantly detect meaningful signals about health, disease and aging, and deliver a personalized guide for living a healthy life. "We can only reach this audacious goal if we successfully integrate traditionally separate fields of expertise into one collaborative ecosystem," Wang said. "These alliance companies add to iCarbonX's own deep expertise in AI and data analysis and mining, and provide the diverse but fundamental capabilities we need to quickly succeed."

Wang added the ecosystem comes at a time when the technologies needed to measure biology, process data and connect people are ready to come together to produce a revolution in knowledge and personal insight that goes well beyond genetics.

"Today we know a great deal about how genes impact our health. But for that knowledge to be useful, we need to know how disease and aging manifest in the body over time, and how our everyday choices affect their progression," said Wang. "This ecosystem will be capable of connecting the biology and experience of individuals, and of creating useful, predictive algorithms to illuminate personal susceptibilities, differences in body functions and variations in treatment responses. We'll be able to offer a 'Digital Me,' a personal guide for living well, and give the healthcare industry a more efficient, precise and cost-effective system to develop and deliver treatments and care."

Background about Digital Life Alliance Members The Digital Life Alliance comprises today's most innovative AI and health technology and application companies:

Initial Launch of Meum™ Platform iCarbonX also officially launched Meum™, a next generation digital health management system that will give individuals a personalized online profile to help them understand their present health status from the "inside-out" (including potential disease onset and trajectory), and foresee how conditions and actions may impact or improve their health in the future.

The Meum™ platform, initially launched in the Chinese market, rests on a robust database of meaningful health and life-related big data, including genetics, molecular profiles, phenotype and behavior data and other indexes, as well as time serial interactions. In the future the platform will be available globally to consumers and potential solution providers. It will also be open to scientific and medical researchers, giving them access to massive, multi-dimensional life data to ask-and answer-even the most difficult research questions.
