This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250708674775/en/
Masimo is a member of the American Heart Association's Innovators' Network
The Innovators' Network is a health care technology consortium that connects entrepreneurs, providers, researchers, and payers. Innovators' Network members also have the opportunity to access the Association's digital evidence-based scientific guidelines and clinical recommendations as they develop digital healthcare technologies. Members collaborate with the Center in different ways, including building models for clinical outcome studies (which lowers the significant cost of developing those studies independently), helping connect the science to technology, and providing evidence that a digital platform improves healthcare outcomes – a key concern for providers and payers.
'The Center aims to advance the rapid, efficient, and effective development of healthcare technology,' said Robert A. Harrington, M.D., FAHA, volunteer past president of the American Heart Association (2019-2020), chair of the American Heart Association's Health Tech Advisory Group for the Center and the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. 'Joining the Innovators' Network gives members the opportunity to leverage the consortium and work toward broadening and deepening their engagement in this arena.'
Daniel Cantillon, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Masimo, commented, 'We're proud to join the American Heart Association Innovators' Network to ensure that our next generation of cardiovascular and brain health monitoring solutions address critical unmet needs – especially for the most vulnerable patients in historically underserved communities.'

What's Shaping CVS' Health Care Benefits Arm for the Rest of 2025?
In the first quarter of 2025, CVS Health 's CVS Health Care Benefits segment grew 8% year over year, mainly due to strength in Medicare. Elevated utilization trends in inpatient, outpatient and medical pharmacy categories persisted, though a seasonally strong performance in the Part D products provided a boost. CVS highlighted improved Medicare Advantage star ratings for the payment year 2025 as a key contributor. Encouragingly, Aetna is making headway in returning to its target margins, supported by improvements across all its business lines. Medical cost trends remained elevated but showed initial signs of stabilization. In Medicaid, the company's rate advocacy efforts are tracking in line with 2025 expectations. The commercial business could continue to modestly outperform, aided by regained competitiveness in CVS' fully insured book through disciplined pricing, trend and stronger retention. Meanwhile, CVS plans to exit its individual exchange business in 2026 from the states, where Aetna independently operates Affordable Care Act ('ACA') plans, to concentrate on Medicare, commercial and Medicaid areas. In this regard, a $448 million premium deficiency reserve was created for expected 2025 losses, including $431 million tied to healthcare costs. Further, Aetna's new approach of bundling prior authorizations for certain cancer-related scans and tests has received positive feedback from plan sponsors, with expansion planned for musculoskeletal and select cardiology services this year. Medical membership stayed flat sequentially at 27.1 million. The medical benefit ratio (MBR) improved 310 basis points from last year to 87.3%. Following the quarter, the expiration of a premium grace period for the Individual Exchange members led to a nearly 300,000-member decline, which will be reflected in second-quarter numbers. CVS projects full-year 2025 MBR to land around 91.3% while maintaining a 'respectful view' of medical cost trends. Lastly, Health Care Benefit adjusted operating income is expected to reach around $1.91 billion, an increase of approximately $400 million. The gain largely reflects the prior-year reserve development, offset by changes in estimates related to prior-period revenues that it experienced in the first quarter. A Note on CVS Health Care Benefits' Rivals UnitedHealth Group 's UNH UnitedHealthcare revenues grew 12% in the first quarter of 2025, supported by higher individuals served through Medicare Advantage, fee-based commercial offerings and those with higher acuity needs and the IRA-driven impacts on Medicare Part D plans. Unexpectedly, UNH saw heightened Medicare Advantage care activity trends in the quarter, especially in physician and outpatient services. As a result, UNH now projects operating earnings in UnitedHealthcare between $16 billion and $16.5 billion for the year. The Cigna Group CI reported strong first-quarter 2025 revenues from Cigna Healthcare, driven by growth in Select segment customers and strong rate execution. Within the U.S. Healthcare unit, Cigna completed the divestiture of Medicare businesses to Health Care Services Corporation on March 19, 2025, a month later than planned, which modestly lifted earnings for the quarter. However, CI's medical care ratio (MCR) rose as businesses typically run at a higher MCR than the rest. CVS' Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Year to date, CVS Health shares have risen 36.1% against the industry's 10.3% fall. CVS shares are trading at a forward five-year price-to-earnings ratio of 9.24, much discounted than the 13.59 industry average. The stock sits with a Value Score of A.

Why biohacker Bryan Johnson wants to sell his anti-aging business to build a new religion
Tech entrepreneur and longevity crusader is thinking of ditching his 'pain-in-the-ass' anti-aging nutrition and supplements company to focus on his 'Don't Die' movement, a community of likeminded biohackers 'united in defeating all causes of human and planetary death.' Article content In a lengthy interview with Wired, the 47-year-old California multimillionaire said he is 'so close' to shutting down or selling Blueprint, a wellness company devoted to 'maximally slowing' aging and reversing aging that's already occurred. Article content Article content 'I've been talking to people about this. I don't need the money, and it's a pain-in-the-ass company,' Johnson told Wired's Katie Drummond. Article content Article content Johnson said Blueprint evolved from his own personal search for a clean, low-in-heavy-metals protein powder into a business venture that was just 'trying to do people a solid. The problem is now people see the business and give me less credibility on the philosophy side. I will not make that trade off … So yeah, I don't want it.' Article content The self-described most measured human on the planet, Johnson takes 40 odd vitamins and supplements daily as well as hundreds of daily measurements of his heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other body organs so that they may 'speak for themselves what they need to be in their ideal state.' Article content In 2023, Johnson, his then 17-year-old son and Johnson's father participated in a multi-generational plasma exchange. Johnson received plasma from a litre of blood siphoned from his son at a Texas spa in the hope his son's blood would make him younger. Article content The plasma swap apparently had a null effect: In January, Johnson posted on X that he was no longer injecting his son's blood and had 'upgraded' to another controversial plasma protocol. Article content I am no longer injecting my son's blood. I've upgraded to something else: total plasma exchange. Steps: 1. Take out all blood from body 2. Separate plasma from blood 3. Replace plasma with 5% albumin & IVIG Here's my bag of plasma. Who wants it? 🧵 — Bryan Johnson (@bryan_johnson) January 28, 2025 Article content Johnson eats all the day's food before noon and sticks to a strict high-fibre, 'veggies and legumes,' no alcohol, no sugar diet that makes him feel sharper while avoiding 'post meal dead zones,' he's shared on X. Article content Last year, in a therapy dubbed 'Project Baby Face,' Johnson attempted to restore volume he's lost on his face from a calorie-reduced diet with fat injections in his temple, cheeks and chin. He didn't have enough of is own body fat so he used donor fat. It didn't go well: 'Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up,' Johnson posted on Instagram. 'And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn't even see,' a severe allergic reaction. Article content What is Project Blueprint? Article content Johnson has explained how, In 2021, 'I endeavoured to figure out proximity to longevity escape velocity. How far away are we from one year of chronological time passing and one staying the same age biologically? I called this Project Blueprint.'
