BodySync maintains a focused research effort in several areas that complement the
ongoing survey of published genetic literature, supporting studies designed to further
document the clinical utility of its existing and new genetic assessments. These
IRB clinical studies are conducted in coordination with major academic institutions
and are designed to advance our understanding of the degree to which specific gene
variations – and combinations of variations – may be used to match individuals to
optimized nutrition and fitness programs. BodySync actively participates in industrial
and academic research collaborations designed to build the clinical efficacy of
its integrated assessment and solutions technology products. BodySync also has provided
its technology and know-how to support a variety of clinical studies on the genetic
connection to healthy nutrition and fitness.
Clinical Study Support
In addition to sponsoring its own clinical trials, BodySync's genetic assessment
technology has been used in a number of groundbreaking independent clinical research
studies, including a 2007 study entitled: "Improved Weight Management Using Genetic
Information to Personalize a Calorie Controlled Diet”, (http://www.nutritionj.com/content/6/1/29), conducted in
coordination with The Dr Arkadianos Clinic, Messogion Av, Athens, Greece; Twin Research
Unit, King's College London, UK; and the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory, National
Technical University of Athens, Greece. BodySync DNA assessment technology was also
used in a substantial study published in 2010, entitled: "A Multifactorial Analysis
of Obesity as CVD Risk Factor: Use of Neural Network Based Methods in a Nutrigenetics
Context", (http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/453),
conducted with more than 2,300 subjects in coordination with the School of Electrical
and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens; University of
Bern, Medical School, ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research; and University
Hospital – Inselspital – University of Bern, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes
and Clinical Nutrition. (Please consult Creative Commons for lawful dissemination
