Thorne HealthTech and Legacy Community Health Services Announce the Launch of a Next-Generation Prevention and Wellness Lab

NEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Thorne HealthTech (NASDAQ: THRN), today announced Onegevity, its health intelligence unit, is collaborating with Legacy Community Health Services, Inc. ("Legacy"), the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Texas and its advisor and venture studio Design Run Group. As part of the collaboration, Thorne HealthTech will launch a Thorne Lab, previously known as Lab100, as part of Legacy's Senior Care Program.

Onegevity is Thorne HealthTech's AI and health intelligence engine – combining a proprietary, multi-omic platform with AI to provide actionable insights to customers with enhanced information and effective products to improve their health. Thorne's data-based, science-backed supplements will also be available to patients.

Legacy plans to construct its first Thorne Lab in Missouri City, Texas, with an anticipated opening in the spring of 2022. Onegevity will provide software to power multi-faceted assessments – from 3D body shape measurements, cognition testing, strength and balance and more – within the Senior Care Clinic as well as data analysis and insight generation using its AI and machine learning algorithms. The Lab will support Legacy's commitment to helping patients focus on preventive care and wellness and will bring actionable programs for customers to follow. The ability to implement data-driven insights to improve care for communities that lack such access and connect it to Legacy's primary care setting is a first of its kind implementation.

"Onegevity's software, AI and data analysis capabilities are uniquely positioned to help Legacy pioneer a new, customer-centric approach to health and wellness," said Thorne HealthTech's Chief Executive Officer, Paul Jacobson. "We are excited to support Legacy's commitment to serving its communities and promoting better health."

"We have long known that preventive health services are critical to improving patient health and wellness outcomes, while also supporting efforts to maximize limited resources. We believe this new initiative will serve as an innovative model in improving patients' overall health and wellness in a much more holistic, efficient and proactive way," said Legacy's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Robert Hilliard.

Legacy's innovation and design advisor, the Design Run Group, will bring an entrepreneurial and human-centered design approach, integrating with Onegevity's robust health diagnostic portfolio to facilitate an insight-driven primary care journey for aging adults. If successful, Legacy plans to expand Thorne Labs to additional locations in the future.
