Sage Healthspan Launches AI-Powered, Privacy-First Wellness App to Bridge Critical Gaps in Preventative Healthcare
Orange County, California, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sage Healthspan, a California-based digital health company, announced its precision health app, now available for free on Apple's App Store. Designed to address notable shortcomings in modern healthcare delivery, Sage introduces a privacy-first, on-device artificial intelligence (AI) platform aimed at helping users interpret their blood work, monitor health trends, and optimize wellness without sacrificing data security.
A Glimpse into Sage Healthspan Analytic Features
In an era where preventative healthcare is increasingly prioritized, many individuals still lack access to timely, comprehensible, and actionable insights from their routine lab results. Sage Healthspan identified a persistent issue: although patients regularly undergo blood tests, most are only contacted if major abnormalities are flagged. This approach overlooks nuanced health patterns and early indicators of disease, leading to missed opportunities for early intervention.
'Instead of waiting for symptoms to appear, Sage empowers users to engage proactively with their health data,' said Megan Haas, Media and Communications Lead at Sage Healthspan. 'The AI platform helps transform routine lab work into structured insights, encouraging users to take control of their health trajectory in a secure, comprehensible, and private way.'
Closing the Loop Between Data and Action
Sage allows users to upload or photograph existing lab results directly from their Apple devices. The platform then interprets the data using local AI algorithms, never uploading personal information to the cloud, providing summaries, visualizations, and tailored recommendations. This includes suggestions for lifestyle adjustments, supplement considerations, or follow-up testing to support long-term wellness goals.
Importantly, Sage differentiates itself by emphasizing a 'privacy-first' model. All health data remains on the user's device, enabling secure HIPAA-compliant analysis. In a climate where 78% of healthcare executives name cybersecurity as a top priority, Sage's on-device processing offers a practical alternative to cloud-based health apps.
A Comprehensive Health Insight Engine
Sage's AI generates insights across an extensive array of health and biomarker categories, including cardiometabolic health, inflammation, blood sugar, autoimmunity, nutrient status, thyroid health, kidney and liver function, and more. As users contribute additional data over time, Sage builds a personalized timeline, allowing for trend detection and wellness optimization rooted in longitudinal analysis.
A unique feature of Sage's platform is its lab test ordering capability. Users can independently request advanced biomarkers that are often excluded from standard panels. These include cardiovascular indicators such as ApoB and Lp(a), fasting insulin and HOMA-IR for metabolic health, thyroid and sex hormone assessments, and nutritional markers like vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid levels.
The Growing Importance of Intelligent Health Analytics
Recent studies show that 67% of patients report confusion over their lab results, with 61% struggling to understand medical terminology. Additionally, with primary care visits averaging only 15-18 minutes, providers have limited time to address complex, individualized wellness concerns. Sage Healthspan aims to complement, not replace, medical professionals by offering supportive tools that clarify and contextualize lab data for users.
From a broader healthcare systems perspective, early detection is increasingly recognized as a critical cost-saver. Nearly 90% of the United States' annual $4.5 trillion healthcare expenditure is tied to chronic conditions. Sage's focus on biomarker-based early detection aligns with evolving industry goals: identifying risk before symptoms arise and enabling targeted, timely action.
Positioning in the Era of Medicine 3.0
The emergence of AI in health represents a shift toward what experts call 'Medicine 3.0,' a paradigm that emphasizes prevention, personalization, and patient empowerment. Sage Healthspan embodies this transition. By integrating intelligent health analytics into everyday devices and eliminating the need for cloud computing, the company delivers accessible wellness insights while maintaining robust privacy protections.
Sage Healthspan is currently available exclusively for iOS on Apple's App Store. Users are encouraged to begin by uploading pre-existing lab results to generate immediate health insights. For more information or to learn how Sage can support a wellness journey, visit sagehealthspan.com.

LGBTQ+ support option on 988 crisis hotline to end due to budget cuts
The 988 crisis hotline has been used more than 13 million times in the last three years, providing critical mental health support to Americans in need. Now, a specialized service for LGBTQ+ individuals is being eliminated. When callers press option 3 on the 988 hotline, they're connected with representatives specifically trained to help members of the LGBTQ+ community. This service will end on July 1 due to budget cuts from the Trump administration. A Baltimore woman who used the service after experiencing domestic violence shared her experience with WMAR. She requested anonymity for privacy reasons. READ MORE:

19-year-old suffers broken neck after diving into wave at Hampton Beach
A young man was seriously injured after an accident while swimming at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. Aiden Sloan, 19, is hospitalized in Boston after breaking his neck on a sand bar. The recovery has been devastating for Aiden and his mother, who says this could have happened to anyone. "This morning, I came in and I woke him up with a forehead rub like I usually do. He said 'good morning, Mom. What do you got in that bag?' I said, 'it's a chocolate chip muffin.' He said, 'I'd like a bite of that,'" said Melina Burton smiling, of her son in his hospital bed at Mass General. That simple request meant the world to Burton, who for days, has been desperate to do anything for her son Aiden: feed him, help him, make him smile. Aiden Sloan suffered a broken neck after diving into a wave at Hampton Beach. CBS Boston "He has fractures in his neck, his spine is bruised. He had a concussion. They've got his neck stabilized. Not being able to move his legs and his hands. It's getting to him," the mother explained. Everything changed on Monday, when the 19-year-old jumped in to cool off at Hampton Beach. "He went to the beach with his cousins. They were up to their mid-thigh. He went to dive through a wave and there was a sandbar on the other side of it. He hit it head on," she said. Overwhelmed by generosity After being flown to surgery at MGH in Boston, this mother and son family is bracing for the journey ahead at Spaulding Rehab. Burton said her passionate cook is overwhelmed by generosity from his restaurant friends and New Hampshire neighbors. "We set the goal for $8,000. Never in a million years did I think we'd be at $30,000 which is absolutely amazing and so overwhelming. I tell Aiden and he's like 'shoot I didn't know that many people liked me!'" That part, she understands. Nobody likes Aiden - loves Aiden - more than her. "Being his mom has been my greatest accomplishment," she said. "He is my everything. And I just need him to be OK."

I'm not built for whatever I heard in Phasmophobia's Chronicle update, which adds terrifying new sounds you can't afford to run from
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The big Phasmophobia Chronicle update launches tomorrow, June 24, and brings a long list of bug fixes and tool reworks with it. As part of the tool shake-up, developer Kinetic Games also overhauled the journal's media section for capturing evidence. It's great if you're tired of being limited to a photo camera. But, if you're a coward like me who usually takes pictures of salt and runs, I've got bad news. The bad news being you can't do that anymore (I tried) and holy shit the new ghost noises are scary. Instead of demanding you strictly take photos as evidence of a haunting, Phasmophobia's ghost-hunting bosses now want pictures plus recorded audio and video. Apparently, all my slightly off-centered photos of disturbed salt piles are no longer worth money. I tried to sell several over the weekend in my early hands-on with the Chronicle update, but no dice. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 Chronicle adds a bunch of little things, like new social elements to Phasmophobia's UI and other quality-of-life goodies, but I honed in on playing with the new Sound Recorder. Since my old cheap habits were no longer a valid means to score a perfect investigation, I had to confront ghosts and stay in the room to use the Sound Recorder when they acted up. Sure, Phas players are used to all manner of ungodly racket, but forcing you to run toward the noise for a clip is a whole other ask. Especially with so many new sounds, too. I heard the usual creaky footsteps and door-slamming, but Phasmophobia added more hellish whispering and actual phrases. It captures more of the original Spirit Box charm, prompting ghosts to respond with their own disembodied voices instead of relying on bits and pieces of radio broadcasters. It's not as funny as hearing a Microsoft Sam demon get snippy in the dark, but I like it way more than the more boring Spirit Box audio of today. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together It's not just voices, either. At one point, I heard what sounded like two pieces of metal slamming into each other in a bathroom, and I still don't know what it was (not that I really tried to figure it out, anyway). As soon as I heard the last of it, I was already back in the truck and mashing the control panel to leave. I did a lot of that before finally working up the nerve to truly investigate a haunting. After a solid few rounds of growing annoyed by my own cowardice, my sense of self-preservation was finally out the door, and I barreled into Camp Woodwind demanding a ghost by the name of Jim Emmett tell me how old he is. He kept his age a secret, but he did whisper, "I'm watching you," over the Parabolic. Phas says I need 13 pieces of evidence like this for a perfect game, but I think one instance of ominous murmuring is proof enough—camp's haunted. When it comes to actually recording—not hearing something over the Parabolic from the other side of the map—I struggled with the Tier 1 Sound Recorder. Upgrading to the Tier 3 device predictably made the task way easier, but I still wasn't always clear on why some recordings didn't make it into the journal as evidence. I'm assuming it's some combination of being a huge wuss and good ole Phas jank, but it was never so cumbersome that I drove off in frustration. If it's not obvious already, sometimes I'm the truck friend, but that's more acceptable now. Chronicle makes things harder in plenty of ways, but it's also kind to your easily spooked buddies by adding more options for monitoring the action from a safe distance. They can watch for the usual ghost behaviors from a much nicer video interface or participate in recording footage, assuming you set the cameras up properly. On more than one occasion, I did wind up back in the ghost room trying to move cameras around for a more accurate picture, but it's nothing players aren't used to now. Sometimes a ghost would do multiple things at once, like trigger a motion sensor and throw something, so I'd wind up with a duplicate recording trying to score something unique. Duplicates are worth less and don't count toward a perfect investigation, so it's a bummer when it happens. But I just took it as a chance to play more strategically by picking up tools I was done with or taking a little more care with the record button. It's a patch I was feeling a little on the fence about, not convinced a media rework was a big deal, but I'm happily wrong. It's impressive how careful little tweaks to the Phasmophobia formula so easily reinvigorate a ghost hunt. Add a few unfamiliar sounds and limit some of my old habits, then I'm floundering like it's day one again. It's not punitive either, I don't feel punished for limiting my old shortcuts to bonuses. Instead, the Chronicle update just forces more of that giddy terror, tempting my ghost-hunting gang with more rewards for playing with an expanded toolset.
