Management commentary
Advanced Human Imaging CEO Vlado Bosanac welcomed the pilot program, saying:
Discovery's behavioural change platform 'Vitality' sets the benchmark for health engagement and rewards. Discovery in my view were the pioneers of rewards based incentivised health outcome and have a proven track record of success.
The CompleteScan integration will deliver a high-quality cost-effective data set, which will have exponential value in risk assessment and management when integrated into a solution like Vitality.
Better health outcomes mean better quality of life. The ethos of a platform of this nature is to do exactly that, help people live better healthier lives. This is where the CompleteScan application is most effective, by identifying negative health indicators through actionable data for early intervention.
