New models for asthma, atopic dermatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) expand GeneAI Forecast to 18 conditions, alongside resting heart rate integration from health apps and wearable devices.

TOKYO, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A.D.A.M. Innovations Co. (Japanese corporate name: Genesis Healthcare Co.), a genomic intelligence, AI and precision health company, today announced an expansion of its GeneAI Forecast service with three new chronic disease risk assessment models – asthma, atopic dermatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – and the integration of average resting heart rate as a new digital biomarker.

With this update, GeneAI Forecast now includes 18 disease risk assessments spanning lifestyle-related risks, chronic and progressive diseases, and cancer risks, combining genomic information with health and physiological data.

Expanding to Chronic Diseases

Asthma, atopic dermatitis and COPD are chronic conditions influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. The three new assessments provide GeneAI Forecast users with additional insights into their genetic factors associated with these conditions, supporting greater awareness and more informed preventive health management.

GeneAI Forecast leverages A.D.A.M. Innovations’ genomic intelligence capabilities and extensive genomic datasets, together with scientific and clinical evidence and multimodal health data, to generate increasingly personalized assessments of individual health risks.

Connecting Genomics with Real-World Health Data

GeneAI Forecast already combines genomic information with key health biomarkers, including BMI, blood pressure and glucose levels, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of individual health risk. This update adds average resting heart rate as a new digital biomarker, introducing an additional layer of physiological information into the platform.

Average resting heart rate is associated with cardiovascular fitness, autonomic nervous system activity, stress, recovery and overall health status. Through integration with leading health applications and wearable devices, GeneAI Forecast can incorporate resting heart rate information alongside other health and behavioral data, including average daily step counts.

The platform builds on its existing integration with Apple Health and Google Fit, enabling connected health data to complement an individual’s genomic information and provide a more comprehensive view of their health profile over time.

“GeneAI Forecast is evolving from a static view of genetic predisposition towards a more dynamic understanding of health risk,” said Michel Mommejat, President and Chief Innovation Officer of A.D.A.M. Innovations. “By expanding our risk assessment models and integrating physiological information from connected health technologies, we are bringing genomic intelligence together with real-world health data. Our goal is to give individuals a more personalized and dynamic view of their health and support a more proactive approach to prevention.”

GeneLife consumers can access GeneAI Forecast, including the new chronic disease models and resting heart rate biomarker, through the Genesis CONNECT and WGS CONNECT subscription plans.
