About Us

The Medivon Mission

Medivon believes that preventive care is the key to both maximizing health status and minimizing health-related costs. For preventive measures to be effectively targeted, we must first identify individuals at risk of disease. And we must be able to display their risk in a manner that will enable them to understand their condition, so that they will be committed to do something about it: diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and/or physician prescribed clinical interventions.

Medivon will perform in any venue, join with all relevant partners, and utilize whatever tools enable the provision of cost-effective health risk assessment for large numbers of people. We deploy advanced but pragmatic technology, leveraged by custom-designed software, in order to identify at-risk individuals often missed by the more traditional approaches.
