Scienta Health has become an internationally recognized leader in personalized preventive medicine.
Scienta Health Center offers the most advanced preventive and diagnostic screening and year-round health coaching for health-aware individuals and corporate clients. Founded in the belief that the North American approach of 'one-size-fits-all disease care' fails to deliver real health, Scienta focuses on intelligently and precisely deploying the latest medical science and on educating and empowering its clients to achieve and sustain peak health.
Screening and diagnostic procedures are customized for each individual, based on personal and family history, health concerns and potential risks. The integrative diagnostic model draws on advanced biochemistry — including panels from Biophysical and other leading-edge diagnostic companies, preventive genetic testing (Scienta was a pioneer in full clinical integration of preventive and pharmacogenetic panels in 2004), in-depth nutritional and toxicity analysis, targeted imaging, mental health assessment and thorough physical fitness testing. Each client receives an extensive review with a multi-disciplined physician-led health team, working from a personal Health ScorecardTM, which sets out test results in understandable language and with high-impact graphics. The team works with each client to develop their personal Health Action Plan and a series of follow-up and coaching interactions.
Scienta Health has applied its success in preventive healthcare to the area of corporate Employee Health. Here it deploys an innovative, symptom-focused Health Risk Profiler to provide a compelling analysis of known and unreported disease conditions. Scienta also consults to employers targeting of programs for Cardiac & Metabolic Health, applying advanced biochemistry and nutrition analysis on a cost-effective basis to large groups.
A third initiative involves developing web-based clinical tools, modeled on its own successful protocols. The intent is to offer these applications via secure 'white-labeled' portals to clinicians worldwide who are interested in embracing the prevention-oriented power of today's science. Scienta Health looks forward to also partnering with Biophysical Corporation toward this end.

"The gap between medical science and what you experience in a regular check-up continues to widen. Advances in biochemistry enable far more precise identification of risk of serious diseases, diagnosis of developing problems and careful targeting of the best health solutions — truly personalized medicine that recognizes the uniqueness in each individual. Companies like Biophysical are changing medicine, yet so many providers have yet to become aware of what's available. No wonder the consumer is taking the initiative. Our advice to consumers is to search out those practitioners who have made it their business to stay at the forefront of science."
