/PRNewswire/ -- UpRight Science, the company behind FDA-cleared balance assessment technology, today announced the acquisition of Highmark's balance assessment application. The technology gives providers what has been missing from routine clinical care: an objective, precise way to measure balance, track it over time, and act on it before a fall happens..

/美通社/ -- 拥有获美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）认证的平衡评估技术的UpRight Science公司今日宣布收购Highmark的平衡评估应用程序。该技术为医疗服务提供者提供了常规临床护理中一直缺失的一项能力：一种客观、精确地测量平衡能力、随时间追踪其变化，并在跌倒发生前采取干预措施的方法。

Balance is one of the most telling indicators of overall health. Yet for most older adults, it goes unmeasured until something goes wrong. That has to change.

平衡能力是反映整体健康状况最具指示意义的指标之一。然而，对于大多数老年人来说，直到出现问题时才会去测量平衡能力。这种状况必须改变。

'Balance isn't something that disappears overnight. It declines gradually, and that's actually good news because it means there's a window to intervene,' noted Dr. Sanjeev Sharma, Chief Medical Officer at UpRight Science and former CEO of Highmark. He continued, 'The problem is we've never had a cost-effective and objective way to measure it in routine care.

“平衡能力并非一夜之间消失，而是逐渐衰退，这实际上是个好消息，因为这意味着存在干预的窗口期，”UpRight Science 首席医疗官、Highmark 前首席执行官 Sanjeev Sharma 博士指出。他接着表示：“问题在于，我们从未在常规护理中拥有一种具有成本效益且客观的衡量方法。”

Until now.'.

直到现在。

The acquired technology was developed and clinically validated within Highmark's ecosystem and uses FDA-cleared real-time technology without any additional hardware to build patient balance indices. For providers, that means pinpointing exactly why a patient is off-balance, monitoring recovery beyond the walls of the practice or clinic, and building a more sustainable, data-backed care model..

该收购技术是在Highmark的生态系统中开发并经过临床验证的，它采用获得美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）许可的实时技术，无需任何额外硬件即可构建患者平衡指数。对于医疗服务提供者而言，这意味着能够精准识别患者失衡的具体原因，在诊所或医院之外持续监测康复进展，并构建更具可持续性、以数据为支撑的护理模式。

Dr. Sharma sees this as a breakthrough technology and driver for how clinicians approach preventive care.

夏尔马博士认为这是一项突破性技术，将推动临床医生在预防保健方面的实践方式。

'We track height, weight and vital signs at every visit because they tell us something meaningful about where a patient's health is headed. Balance deserves the same routine attention—it's just as predictive, and far more actionable when it comes to preventing a catastrophic fall.'

“我们在每次就诊时都会监测患者的身高、体重和生命体征，因为这些指标能揭示患者健康状况的发展趋势。平衡能力也应得到同样的常规关注——它同样具有预测价值，而且在预防灾难性跌倒方面更具可操作性。”

Terry Chabrowe, CEO of UpRight Science, framed the acquisition within the company's broader mission.

UpRight Science 首席执行官特里·查布罗（Terry Chabrowe）将此次收购置于公司更广泛的使命框架下进行阐述。

'Physicians have always tracked the numbers that matter: temperature, heart rate, blood pressure. Balance is overdue for a place on that list. This acquisition–along with a strategic acquisition of complementary remote therapies–gives us the clinical foundation to make that a reality for providers across every care setting,' said Chabrowe..

“医生们一直追踪着那些至关重要的指标：体温、心率和血压。平衡能力也该列入这份清单了，而且早已刻不容缓。此次收购——连同对互补性远程治疗方案的战略性收购——为我们奠定了临床基础，使各类医疗场景下的提供者都能将这一目标变为现实。”查布罗表示。

UpRight Science will integrate and further develop the technology across care settings, with all development remaining aligned with FDA regulatory standards and evidence-based practice. Its acquisition of a suite of remote therapies designed and built by UpRight CTO, Stephen Elliot, enables practitioners to seamlessly treat patients for whom balance improvement is an imperative..

UpRight Science 将在各类护理场景中整合并进一步发展该技术，所有开发工作均严格遵循美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的监管标准及循证实践原则。通过收购由 UpRight 首席技术官 Stephen Elliot 设计并打造的一套远程疗法，临床从业者能够无缝地为那些亟需改善平衡能力的患者提供治疗。
