Arivale Expands Scientific Wellness Program to CaliforniaArivale, a company dedicated to providing individuals a scientific path to wellness, today announced its availability to residents in California. Since July 2015, Arivale has helped individuals optimize their wellness by creating individual, dynamic data clouds based on each participant's genetics, clinical labs, gut microbiome, sleep and activity level. What Arivale program participants, called Pioneers, find most useful is they are assigned a professional, licensed health coach who, in collaboration with an independent physician and clinical team, translates the Pioneer's data cloud into actionable recommendations to assist in achieving their wellness goals. For each Pioneer, Arivale creates a unique dashboard structured into six health dimensions: diabetes risk, heart health, healthy aging, inflammation, optimal nutrition and stress management. The Arivale Coach uses this dashboard of scientific, personalized wellness as the foundation for developing individualized action plans for Pioneers to optimize their wellness. Co-founded by renowned genomics pioneer Leroy Hood, MD PhD, and CEO Clayton Lewis, Arivale raised $36M in Series B funding in 2015 from leading venture firms, Maveron, ARCH Venture Partners and Polaris Partners. "The success of the Arivale program has exceeded all expectations - based on Pioneer satisfaction, engagement and improvements in wellness," said Clayton Lewis. "We selected California as our second launch market because we've received requests from across the state seeking a data-based program to proactively optimize personalized wellness and we are thrilled to offer our scientific approach to do just that." Arivale's actionable recommendations, based on each Pioneer's personal goals, inspire them to achieve and sustain their wellness potential - and enable them to focus on what they love in life, rather than fad diets or trendy workouts. "While your genetic profie can provide a solid understanding of your unique makeup, genes are only one piece in determining your wellness," said Lewis. "Arivale provides participants with genetic information, and more importantly takes it much further by correlating genetics with clinical labs, lifestyle, nutrition and activity levels, which are the primary drivers of scientific wellness. This systems approach provides an integrated, scientific foundation for our participants that sets us apart from any other programs." "Arivale is creating a new industry, scientific wellness - by combining dense, dynamic, personal data clouds and coaching to optimize wellness," stated Dr. Hood. "These data clouds enable Arivale to integrate and correlate genetic and lifestyle information to identify novel discoveries and provide actionable recommendations for the Arivale Pioneers. As we collect more data over time, we will work to exponentially increase the number of actionable possibilities for optimizing wellness."
