Press Release Body = Malvern, PA - June 4, 2007 - Specialty Diets, Inc. announced today that it teamed up with Grayson H. Wheatley III, MD, a Cardiovascular Surgeon at the Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix to start of a new cardiac disease pilot study using Specialty Diets' proprietary ForMyDietT nutrition and disease management platform.
"This study really expands the reach of our platform," said Ami Assayag, CEO of Specialty Diets, "we expect to prove that greater patient involvement in their nutrition and disease is attributable to better long term disease control, even for non-niche disease states such as heart disease."
"I am excited to be one of the first physicians to be able to offer advanced web-based tracking of cardiovascular health with associated information about diet and cardiovascular health guidelines to my patients," stated Dr. Wheatley, "I see this pilot project as a real step forward for my patients\' cardiovascular health maintenance which may lead to broader application.\"
Dr. Wheatley is the author of numerous journal articles and a frequent conference presenter, with special interest in endovascular surgery, minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery, valve repair, and resident and student education. Assayag added that "Dr. Wheatley is a leading authority on integrating technology into disease management and education, and we are very pleased to work with him on this project."
The cardiac disease pilot project is expected to be launched on July 1, 2007.
