Genesis Healthcare launches wellness app

Users can receive lifestyle tips and health recommendations based on individual DNA.

Japanese genetic and research laboratory Genesis Healthcare has launched an app for its Singaporean GeneLife users that will allow them to access personal genetic results on their smartphone.

Users of their genetic testing kits can access their results and information using the new GeneLife app. The app also gives recommendations and lifestyle tips to support health and wellness that is reportedly customised to a user's unique DNA.

Users can also participate in a rewards programme upon joining in its research and surveys. Accordingly, rewards will be given in the form of 'points' that will allow users to redeem additional reports.

Genesis Healthcare has also developed a customised DNA microarray chip, and through its in-house bioinformatic teams, developed proprietary models powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
