Precision Health Cloud
The LifeOmic Precision Health Cloud (PHC) can integrate genomic, clinical, and other health data for indexing and visualization. As can be seen below, practitioners can view and track different data sets such as weight, BMI, glucose, and heart rate, and identify trends to support clinical decisions.
PHC integrates with EMRs to retrieve patient data and lab values. Practitioners cannot order tests directly from the LifeOmic app.
The platform offers insights into health data and trends across multiple patients. Practitioners can view graphs and charts for small cohorts or entire populations and customize the graphical interface according to their needs.
LifeOmic does not analyze DNA or other health data to provide personalized health recommendations or suggestions to help practitioners choose the best treatment plan for their clients. Professionals need to interpret the data available and create health plans based on this information.
You can view a snippet of the application below.
LifeOmic Precision Health Cloud allows practitioners to create surveys, which are delivered to patients and clients on the app. The company provides an interactive survey builder for professionals to create, manage, and deliver surveys. Data collected from patients through the LifeOmic app is available on the PHC.
With the PHC, practitioners can analyze genomic data. It integrates with DNA sequencing vendors such as FoundationOne, NantOmics, and others. They offer a genomics knowledge base including information from public, commercial and private sources.
LifeOmic allows professional users to navigate and filter genomic data for individual patients, as can be seen below. They do not provide personalized health recommendations based on patients’ DNA results.

LifeOmic Review Summary
LifeOmics offers solutions for healthcare that include a variety of precision health apps available to professionals and individual consumers. The platform integrates genomics, imagining, clinical, and other health data and allows practitioners to better visualize it through graphical interfaces.
