Nightingale Health Plc announced that it has completed the analysis of blood samples from all 500,000 UK Biobank participants. UK Biobank is the world's most comprehensive source of health data used for research, renowned for its vast and continuously growing dataset of biological, health and lifestyle information. The de-identified data is globally accessible to approved researchers who are undertaking health-related research that is in the public interest.

The analysis results will be made available to UK Biobank's over 30,000 registered researchers from over 90 countries. Nightingale Health stands out as the sole broad biomarker profiling provider to analyze all 500,000 samples in the UK Biobank. This unique position comes from Nightingale Health's technology's ability to analyze vast numbers of samples at a quality and cost level that no other technology can match.

With Nightingale Health's biomarkers integrated into UK Biobank's database, the company has become the leading source of blood biomarker data for scientific research. More crucially, the wide scientific use of Nightingale Health's biomarkers has already enabled the company's technology to be routinely adopted in clinical settings, marking a leap forward in chronic disease treatment and prevention. Nightingale Health's technology, a global standard in population studies and large biobanks, has been used to analyze over 2.1 million blood samples to date.

This broad use is reflected in more than 530 peer-reviewed publications by scientists from 170 institutions in 34 countries. The results analyzed from each blood sample include 250 biomarkers, of which 39 are clinically validated and can be used in the same way as traditional clinical biomarkers. In addition to research, Nightingale Health's technology is entering wide-scale clinical use.

In Finland, the country's largest private healthcare provider, Terveystalo, has replaced aging clinical chemistry tools with Nightingale Health's biomarkers and risk prediction models in routinely performed health checks which cover approximately 30% of the Finnish working population. In addition to Finland, the clinical use of the technology is expanding to healthcare providers in Singapore via Innoquest Diagnostics and to other Southeast Asian countries through Pathology Asia group companies. The access to Nightingale Health's biomarker data via UK Biobank paves the way for further national implementations worldwide as the advancements of the technology can be transparently validated, helping healthcare systems enter the era of preventative health.
