Why does Biophysical compare two blood samples from each employee?
One of the most effective ways to manage our health is by monitoring the velocity of change of medically significant biomarkers, especially those related to cancer. For that reason, Biophysical draws a small sample of blood from each BiophysicalCheck participant each year: the sample is tested immediately and a small portion is saved for testing along with the next year’s sample. The first sample establishes a baseline for an employee’s health and the second helps identify at the earliest stages if there is a call for concern with regard to cancer. Comparing blood samples drawn a year apart enables physicians to detect any significant changes in biomarker readings. Each year of participation in the program brings powerful information to a person’s health surveillance program. Tracking changes in a large panel of interrelated biomarkers is the most powerful benefit of the BiophysicalCheck program. A company may also choose to substitute the Biophysical250 health assessment for Year One
