Many people wait until they are sick before they visit the doctor. Travis Rush, founder and CEO of Reperio Health, wants to change how people view healthcare by emphasizing the importance of preventive measures. Reperio Health offers at-home preventive care screenings with instant results, allowing people to take charge of their well-being.
People often avoid preventive care because of the cost and inaccessibility of seeing a doctor for wellness screenings. Reperio Health, however, uses patented technology paired with a mobile app and FDA-cleared devices to bring a consumer-grade experience to annual preventive screenings. In less than 30 minutes, the screenings assess key health indicators like cholesterol, glucose levels, and blood pressure, allowing users to stay informed and on top of their health, all from the comfort of their own homes.
After completing the screenings, Reperio Health virtually connects users with a healthcare professional to review the results. Using AI, Reperio summarizes five years of health history so doctors can better understand actions needed to improve the user's well-being.
Reperio Health envisions a world where everyone can easily manage their health without waiting for costly lab results. The health kit includes everything needed to complete wellness screenings and is mailed directly to the user's home. The company hopes to offer medication delivery as part of its future expansions.

Salmonella recall of 20 million eggs from Walmart, Safeway, Ralphs, among others
Another salmonella outbreak caused the recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs — meaning roughly more than 20 million less eggs to fry — and has sickened people in seven states. The aforementioned eggs were distributed to Walmart, Safeway, chains owned by Kroger and various other independent and chain supermarkets. Hilmar, California's August Egg Company, a division of Gemperle Enterprises, produced the eggs and issued the recall Friday. 'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time,' the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. 'Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens.' READ MORE: Public health alert: Deadly E. coli found in beef sent to Whole Foods stores What eggs have been recalled? Packaging for the recalled eggs will have plant code P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126. The eggs that went to Walmart stores had sell by dates from March 4 through June 19. Other retailers got eggs with 'sell by dates' from March 4 through June 4. August Egg says these eggs went to stores in California, Washington, Illinois, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Indiana. The recall section of Walmart's website says this also involves its stores in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. ▪ Marketside (a Walmart store brand): Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ First Street (a Smart & Final house brand): Cage Free Large Brown loose eggs. ▪ Clover: Organic Large Brown Eggs, one dozen. ▪ Nulaid: One dozen Medium Brown Cage Free, one dozen Jumbo Brown Cage Free. ▪ O Organics: Cage Free Large Brown, six eggs; and Large Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Safeway and other Albertson's-owned stores. ▪ Raley's (store brand): Large Cage Free Brown, 12 eggs: Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. ▪ Simple Truth: Cage Free Large Brown and Medium Brown 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Food 4 Less, Ralphs and other Kroger-owned chains. ▪ Sun Harvest: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ Sunnyside: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; and Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. What's up with the salmonella outbreak? Saturday's outbreak update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 79 people have been sickened in this outbreak with 21 hospitalizations. Of those 79, 63 are in California. The remaining 16 break down as Nevada and Washington (four each); Arizona, three; Nebraska and New Jersey (two each); and Kentucky, one. Salmonella outbreaks tend to be very undercounted because most people recover without medical attention. What is salmonella? The CDC estimates about 1.35 million people in the United States will get salmonella each year. Of that number, 26,400 will be hospitalized, usually driven to the hospital by bloody diarrhea, and 420 will die. Usually, salmonella just means a few days of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomachaches. What you should do now If you have any of the recalled eggs listed above, return them to the store for a refund or throw them deep into the garbage. If you have any questions about the recalls, call August Farms at 800-710-2554, noon to 8 p.m., Eastern time.

These Popular Eggs Are Being Recalled Over Salmonella Risk
If you've been living for your morning sunny-side eggs…well, brace yourself. The August Egg Company—the parent behind Sunnyside, Clover, Raley's, and a few other brands—is recalling a whopping 1.7 million dozen eggs due to a potential salmonella outbreak. Yep, it's serious.. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have flagged the August Company's 'brown cage-free and brown certified organic egg' for possible contamination, meaning you might want to double-check that carton in your fridge before cracking it open. If you didn't know, Salmonella is that sneaky bacteria behind food poisoning and can cause anything from mild stomach upset to serious illness. These eggs were shipped to Walmart stores and other grocers in nine states: California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois. They have a best-by date from March 4 to June 19 and food codes P-6562 or CA5330. Not sure if your eggs are on the list? The FDA has a full rundown of all the recalled brands you can check out. And if the cartons in your fridge match any of the food codes or best-by-dates, toss them out immediately. While it's somewhat okay to eat an egg past its expiration date, this isn't the case. The FDA has already connected a current salmonella outbreak to the eggs. As of now, a total of 79 cases have been reported in seven states, while 21 people have been hospitalized. We get it: eggs are pricey, and tossing them feels like a waste. But don't risk it. Plus, most places will give you a full refund. And if your eggs touched any surfaces, wipe those down like your life depends on it. If after eating you feel dizzy, nauseous, or get a fever—don't play it cool. Call your doctor. This is serious business. Trust me, as a four-time survivor of food poisoning, you don't want to take any chances.
