iCarbonX

Founded by Chinese genomicist Jun Wang, former CEO of Beijing Genomic Institute (BGI), in 2015 - iCarbonX combines genomics with other health factors such as metabolites, bacteria and lifestyle choices to create a digitized form of life. The company name symbolizes the use of the internet and artificial intelligence to improve life, of which a central element is carbon. In 2016, the company acquired Imagu Vision Technologies, an Israeli AI and image processing company, and established an iCarbonX-Israel R&D center. In early 2017, it announced the Digital Life Alliance with seven other companies including SomaLogic, HealthTell, PatientsLikeMe, AOBiome, GALT, Imagu and Robustnique. At the same time, iCarbonX released Meum, a digital health management platform.
