Digital health platform kicks off

Seven domestic and overseas companies have joined iCarbonX's Digital Life Alliance, with the aim of deepening people's understanding of their health and enabling them to lead healthier lives with the help of advanced technology.

By establishing the alliance, Shenzhen-based technology startup iCarbonX said it hoped to create an ecosystem.

It said that in it, genetic, biological and patient-generated data could be merged with sequencing and artificial intelligence technology - to instantly detect meaningful signals about health, disease and aging and then deliver a personalized guide for people to live a healthy life.
