What does being an Azumio member involve?
Azumio is a mobile health company that provide fitness and wellness solutions based on the user's genetic insights. By analyzing your genetic and wellness data, we provide you with personalized workout and nutrition insights.
Here is what you can expect if you decide to become an Azumio DNA+ Member:
What's the science behind the service?
DNA is the blueprint that governs the makeup and function of your body. Through genetic research scientists have begun to understand the connections between common genetic variations and how they affect an individual's nutrition and fitness.
By checking your DNA for these genetic variations we are able to estimate your unique nutritional needs and fitness attributes. We then combine this information with your baseline test results and scientifically backed nutrition and fitness recommendations to provide you with a unique wellness plan made just for you.
What is the Azumio DNA+ Test?
To become an Azumio DNA+ Premium member, you must be sequenced by our partner Helix. Helix will, with your consent, send Azumio the specific genetic data that Azumio requires for its servics. We then use our algorithm to provide fitness and nutrition insights that best suit your genetic profile. You will be notified when your Azumio DNA results are available on the application. Generally results will be available after several weeks for users who have not yet been sequenced. If you have been sequenced, you can expect your results to be available within an hour.
What are the potential risks to becoming an Azumio DNA+ Premium member?
As with any information online, there is a risk of loss of privacy and confidentiality of your personal information and survey responses. To protect your information, Azumio uses stringent security protections to minimize the risk of unapproved access to member accounts.
There may be risks that are not known at this time.
What are the potential benefits to becoming an Azumio DNA+ Premium member?
Becoming an Azumio DNA+ Premium member will allow you to learn more about your nutrition and fitness based off your genetic makeup and baseline test results. You may use our nutrition and fitness insights to lead a better lifestyle. Azumio may expand beyond fitness and nutrition in the future, and you will gain early access to such offerings.
How does Azumio keep my information confidential and private?
Azumio gets de-identified genetic data from Helix. When Azumio receives the de-identified data, we will re-associate your information with your account. All genetic data is kept in an encrypted storage system and access is tightly controlled, in accordance with industry best practices. Azumio will not share any of your identifying information with any external party, without your explicit consent. Azumio may need to share details about you with regulators and law enforcement. These details may include your Genetic Information. We will only share these details if we are compelled by law to do so. Please see our Privacy Policy for more details.
