ABOUT THE MESCHINO HEALTH & WELLNESS PLATFORM: In 2008, Dr. Meschino created the online Meschino Health Assessment, also referred to as the Nutrition, Lifestyle and Anti-Aging Assessment (NLA) or Wellness Assessment. Dr. Meschino created the test after numerous readers of his book "The Meschino Optimal living Program - Seven Steps To A Healthy, Fit, Age-Resistant Body" requested a method to measure their current status and track their improvement over time.

This Wellness Assessment has undergone many enhancements and revisions since 2008. It incorporates specific data relating to age, gender, dietary patterns, signs and symptoms of nutrient deficiencies along with lifestyle factors that could be contributing to a person's nutrient deficiency. The assessment platform also takes into consideration current health and past health conditions, and family medical history. This Wellness Assessment provides a blueprint for individuals to understand, design and implement individualized health plans where they can take ownership and manage their own health initiatives and objectives. In addition, the Wellness Assessment will be married with a comprehensive rewards environment which adds additional incentives for the individual to adhere to the health plans evolving from the Wellness Assessment.

Dr. Meschino's fully automated "Wellness Platform" provides a platform to work with employers to address the full spectrum of lifestyle issues, and their impact on the bottom line. Wellness is often not fully understood or executed to address core employer concerns around absenteeism, presenteeism and increased productivity. Dr. Meschino's wellness program takes a unique approach towards providing employers with the tools and resources to enhance health literacy, creating the conditions for readiness to change, combined with ongoing support to employees in their desire to live healthier and productive lifestyles. Extensive U.S. research from leading health authorities over the years has demonstrated that $1 spent on wellness adds over $3 benefit to an employer. Virtually every large group employee benefit plan contains a significant emphasis and budget for wellness programs. Dr. Meschino's Wellness Platform is very unique in its application and can efficiently and cost effectively be fully integrated into any employee benefit plan. This "Wellness Platform" makes wellness affordable for every group benefit plan, large and small. It provides both an automated analytical and feedback environment for the "Employee Wellness" and a fully integrated automated "Corporate Wellness" assessment where employee information is automatically aggregated and summarized. This information can also be combined with drug data to provide employers the ability to compare expenditures on drugs with the wellness of the employer's workforce as a whole and give the employer a perspective on their future expenditures.

Dr. Meschino's "Wellness Solutions" are unique in both their rich content and the high level of automation which allows very low cost delivery of this content to the employee. This will allow every group benefit plan, whether it is a small company plan or large company plan, to implement a high value added, very cost effective wellness solution for their employees.
