Advanced Human Imaging (AHI) has announced the completion of its Discovery Vitality pilot.
Discovery Vitality is a subsidiary of financial services and insurance provider Discovery and its Vitality shared-value insurance model attracts more than 20 million members across 30 markets.
Over the previous six months, AHI and Vitality had been evaluating the AHI technology together.
Vitality has recently completed the pilot that was announced in May at four Discovery locations, conducted by onsite wellness specialists.
The pilot’s goal was to demonstrate the CompleteScan system’s real-time data accuracy and efficiency to the South African populace.
During the months of May and June, wellness professionals performed an onsite health evaluation of each participant, comparing the accuracy of the findings to those obtained while using the CompleteScan application capture suite.
AHI said it hoped to begin additional discussions later this year.
Advanced Human Imaging CEO Vlado Bosanac said Discovery’s behavioural change platform Vitality set the benchmark for health engagement.
“Discovery in my view were the pioneers of rewards based incentivized health outcomes and have a proven track record of success,” he said.
“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 – to help people live better healthier lives and identify negative health indicators through actionable data for early intervention.”
Shares in AHI closed 1.67 per cent down at $1.18 on October 4.
