New York, NY, April 19, 2007 - iVillage Total Health, the consumer health destination for women from iVillage, a division of NBC Universal, today announced a partnership with Revolution Health, a leading consumer-centric health company, to offer innovative tools that will enable women to manage their health and the health of their families more effectively by assessing their risk for diseases including diabetes, stroke and heart disease.
"The task of managing the health and wellbeing of every family tends to go to the female head of the household - and that's after juggling parenting and career responsibilities," said Deborah Fine, President of iVillage. "Through our partnership with Revolution Health, we will help women effectively and credibly manage, with state-of-the-art technology and first-to-market tools, their health of the health of their families. We're excited about the preventative impact we will have together as a result of our partnership."
As part of the partnership, iVillage Total Health will be the first to offer Revolution Health's KnowYourRisk Quick Assessment tool, which is scheduled to debut on health.ivillage.com in June. KnowYourRisk will allow women to measure the cumulative risk for type II diabetes, stroke and heart disease in the next five years for every family member. After inputting gender, age, ethnicity and other risk factors, the user will get results in a clear and easy-to-understand report, including steps to take to reduce those risks.
