admin The healthcare sector has transformed significantly with technological advancements. Traditional reactive healthcare approaches focused on treating existing illnesses are insufficient today. A holistic population health management solution is now essential. US HealthCenter, based in Milwaukee, WI, addresses this need by providing services across pre-disease, disease, and post-disease periods.
Founded in 2003, US HealthCenter (USHC) is a pioneer in integrating artificial intelligence with healthcare solutions. The company excels in consulting with organizations to reduce healthcare costs and enhance the quality of life. USHC offers its innovative PredictiMed™ technology platform to consumers and industry partners. This advanced business intelligence tool uses analytics to forecast disease onset 3-5 years before symptoms appear. PredictiMed™ leverages comprehensive data sources—including medical records, prescriptions, genetics, lifestyle factors, biometrics, and demographics—to assess health risks, setting a new standard in proactive health management.

Analyzing data from various sources, including demographics, medical history, genetics, and lifestyle habits, it creates personalized health risk assessments. This proactive approach allows for timely interventions, reducing emergency room visits and hospitalizations by up to 93% in some disease categories. “Our predictive model synthesizes data from a variety of sources to construct a tailored, intelligent health risk assessment and analysis, providing a personalized experience for each individual,” says Gavin Quinnies, President and CEO of US HealthCenter.
