NEW
YORK, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Jona, a personalized health technology company, is pleased
to announce its new partnership with Emerson Ecologics, a
Fullscript company. With this partnership, practitioners can
order Jona kits through their existing Emerson Ecologics accounts,
enabling them to integrate the latest microbiome science into
patient care.
Jona's advanced AI technology to interpret
the Gut Microbiome now available on Emerson Ecologics, a Fullscript
company.
Jona's product goes beyond the standard stool test covering
'good' and 'bad' microbes. The Jona platform encompasses deep
metagenomic shotgun sequencing, advanced AI to interpret the gut
microbiome, and personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations
to improve one's health. Leveraging the team's deep
expertise in medicine and artificial intelligence, Jona has built
AI technology that ingests the medical literature on the gut
microbiome and identifies the microbiome 'signatures' associated
with symptoms, diseases, and food sensitivities. The model then
takes in an individuals' metagenomic shotgun sequencing results and
matches it to these signatures. Using digital twin technology, Jona
recommends the dietary and lifestyle changes that will improve
individual disease and symptom associations. The
results are delivered to the individual and practitioner in a
single comprehensive report.
"The gut microbiome is extremely complex and the science is
evolving too rapidly for any one person to keep up with. We've
developed this technology to put the latest microbiome science at
providers' fingertips", says Leo
Grady, PhD, Jona's founder and CEO. "Partnering with Emerson
Ecologics, the leading platform for integrative healthcare, helps
more care teams access, understand and take action on this crucial
information."
Given the importance of the microbiome to holistic health, the
partnership will equip practitioners to provide a new standard of
high-tech, whole-person care. Practitioners can order Jona kits
directly and provide them to their clients, and both parties will
receive a copy of the results.
"Emerson Ecologics has earned the loyalty of practitioners
across the whole person medicine ecosystem, allowing us to impact a
broad patient network. We are thrilled to add Jona to Emerson
Ecologics' portfolio and expand access to the latest in microbiome
science, what many consider the next frontier in human health. We
see this as the first step to a deeper partnership in the future"
says Jeff Gladd, MD, chief medical
officer at Fullscript.
Jona test kits are now available via the Emerson Ecologics
platform. As microbiome research continues to evolve, the companies
look forward to further synergies between Jona's technology and
Emerson Ecologics' high-quality platform of health
and wellness products.
