State-of-the-art center brings AI-enabled health screenings and diagnostic capabilities to Lake Nona’s high-tech health and life sciences district

NAPLES, Fla., Feb. 16, 2023 — Fountain Life, a preventative health and longevity company committed to transforming global healthcare from reactive to proactive, today announced that it has opened a fourth precision diagnostic center designed to help members live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives by detecting illnesses at their earliest stages. The newest center is located within Orlando’s acclaimed Lake Nona community and features innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to collect and assess data that can aid in diagnosing conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disease before they can cause harm. Lake Nona will also serve as the new headquarters site for Fountain Life.

Encompassing 17-square miles contiguous to the Orlando International Airport, Lake Nona is a master-planned community recognized as a hub for health sciences technology and innovation. Fountain Life joins other transformative medical facilities such as HCA Healthcare, Nemours Children’s Health, Johnson & Johnson, Orlando Veterans Administration Medical Center, and the University of Central Florida (UCF) Academic Health Sciences campus, which includes the College of Medicine, Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, UCF Lake Nona Cancer Center, and UCF Lake Nona Hospital.

“Each state-of-the-art facility we open allows us the opportunity to serve more members who are committed to becoming the CEO of their health,” said Bill Kapp, M.D., Fountain Life CEO and co-founder. “We are excited to join the forward-thinking Lake Nona community, which is recognized as a leading destination for innovative healthcare research and services.”

Located in the state-of-the-art One Performance Plaza medical office building, the 10,000 sq ft center offers precision diagnostic testing including executive blood panels, a full-body and brain MRI, CCTA heart scanning and other assessments such as a multi-cancer early detection test detects more than 50 types of cancer. These cutting-edge technologies can screen for structural abnormalities and other key indicators of a developing disease, identifying many chronic diseases and life-threatening conditions that may be asymptomatic or have no genetic indicators, which make them difficult to predict using standard medical tests. When diagnosed early, members can avoid or mitigate long-term issues that may require ongoing treatment and reduce longevity and quality of life. Early and regular screenings, even when no potential health issues are detected, provide Fountain Life members with valuable information that allows for peace of mind to live an optimal, engaged, and rewarding life.

The Fountain Life Lake Nona center was developed in partnership with the community’s developer, Tavistock Development Company, known for a successful portfolio of forward-looking and nationally recognized properties. The idea for Lake Nona’s health and life sciences cluster began in October 2005 when Tavistock donated $12.5 million and 50 acres of land to the University of Central Florida to help establish a medical school. Since then, Tavistock has worked to fulfill a vision for a community committed to whole-person health. Lake Nona has been purposefully built to support a healthy lifestyle from walkable neighborhoods, parks and a high-tech fitness facility to community art and weekly events in addition to the innovative solutions offered by the world’s leading health and life sciences companies.

“We are thrilled to welcome Fountain Life to Lake Nona’s collaborative health and life sciences ecosystem and enhance the network of experts and trailblazers who call our community home,” said Gloria Caulfield, Tavistock Vice President of Strategic Alliances. “The addition of Fountain Life’s unique and progressive approach to preventive healthcare aligns perfectly with Lake Nona’s mission to inspire human potential. We look forward to working together to provide innovative solutions that help people live longer, healthier lives.”

“Our ongoing real estate collaboration with Tavistock is essential to successfully integrating Fountain Life into the Lake Nona life science community,” said Shawn Buchheit, Fountain Life Chief Operating Officer. “This working partnership has allowed for our seamless entry into the innovative healthcare destination being established here and we look forward to providing services to both area residents and visitors to central Florida.”

Each year more than 300 of the world’s top health care innovators and thought leaders gather in Lake Nona to explore the intersections of wellness, technology, sustainability, and education during the invitation-only Lake Nona Impact Forum. Fountain Life founder Bill Kapp, M.D. will be a featured speaker at this year’s event, scheduled for March 8-10, 2023.

Fountain Life centers, now open in Texas, Florida, and New York, are planned for several other U.S. and global locations in the coming years. The expansion will include partnerships with additional real estate developers, hospitality management companies, payors, and other wellness-oriented businesses, all with the goal of making early screenings for chronic, preventative, and potentially lethal conditions available to as many individuals as possible.

ORLANDO, Fla., March 01, 2022 – View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building technologies, today announced its Smart Windows have been installed in every room at the new high-tech Lake Nona Wave Hotel.

The hotel, billed as “the most technologically advanced hotel in the world,” recently opened in December. All 234 guest rooms, including 16 one-bedroom suites and two penthouse suites feature floor-to-ceiling View Smart Windows that use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust in response to outdoor conditions, keeping guests cool and comfortable without the need for blinds.

“With the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, we set out to integrate technology and hospitality in ways that delight hotel guests and improve their health and well-being,” said Jamie Bruce, Vice President, Hotel Portfolio at Tavistock Development Company, the developer of the Lake Nona community. “View Smart Windows align with every dimension of that quest—from delivering an unparalleled guest experience to enhancing guest wellness and improving sustainability.”

By maximizing access to natural light and outdoor views, View Smart Windows measurably improve occupant health and wellness. A recent study found that people living in homes with View Smart Windows slept an average of 16 minutes longer each night and reported 11 percent less anxiety and 9 percent less stress compared to those living in equivalent homes with traditional windows and blinds.

“View Smart Windows are a focal point among the innovative new technologies on display at the Lake Nona Wave Hotel and featured in many new buildings under construction in Lake Nona,” said Tavistock Development Company President Nick Beucher. “Our partnership with View is a critical part of our strategy to reimagine the built environment to improve how people live, travel, and work.”

View has worked with Tavistock Development Company on multiple buildings across Lake Nona, the 17-square-mile visionary community minutes away from Orlando International Airport. View Smart Windows have been installed in five buildings in Lake Nona across office, retail and hospitality projects and will be installed in more than 30 additional buildings.

“With Lake Nona, Tavistock is fundamentally reshaping the way that not only buildings, but entire cities are designed, built, and experienced,” said Dr. Rao Mulpuri, CEO of View. “Lake Nona showcases what’s possible when smart building technologies are thematically integrated across the entire spectrum of real estate—from offices to hotels, apartments, hospitals, and more. We could not be more excited to partner with Tavistock to define and demonstrate the city of the future.”

Lake Nona Wave Hotel’s use of technology includes one of the world’s largest fleets of autonomous shuttles, the largest single-use facility of TOTO smart toilets, voice-automated in-room controls, and Rosie, the hotel’s robot butler, who complements food and drink delivery for events.

The Impact Forum’s National Advisory Board has directed specific health and safety protocols to ensure the wellbeing of all event delegates, staff, and guests.

Wilson’s company Limitless Minds, which specializes in mindset, wellness, and peak performance experiences, opened a location in the Lake Nona Performance Club last year.

 

“There’s no doubt we live in a different world since the arrival of COVID-19,” said Lake Nona Institute Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Impact Forum, Gloria Caulfield. “This year’s Impact Forum is critical as we gather some of the world’s most outstanding minds to discuss what the future of health care, treatment, and wellbeing look like. We’re honored to facilitate the impactful conversations and connections that can lead to the scalable impacts and breakthroughs that will improve how we live.”

Orlando, Fla. – (Feb. 10, 2021)  Lake Nona’s destination sports, performance, and fitness center, the Lake Nona Performance Club (LNPC), has partnered with Chopra Global, a leading whole health company founded by Dr. Deepak Chopra, to create the Chopra Mind-Body Zone and Spa. This first-of-its-kind partnership brings Chopra Global’s signature movement and spa programs to a leading fitness facility and marks the company’s first brick-and-mortar partnership. Currently under construction in the Lake Nona Town Center, LNPC is scheduled to open this summer.

“Chopra Global and Lake Nona have a long and rich partnership guided by our common mission of promoting health and wellbeing,” said Chopra Global Vice President of Partnerships Jaime Rabin. “We’re incredibly excited to expand that partnership with the new Chopra Mind-Body Zone and Spa specializing in the life-changing benefits of whole health and practicing the connectivity of mind, body, and spirit. The programs at LNPC will serve as a model for us moving forward as we look to continue the expansion of our physical brand presence.”

A dedicated 5,500-square-foot space devoted to providing premium experiences focused on enhancing overall wellbeing, the Chopra Mind-Body Zone will offer a variety of yoga and meditation classes plus specialty options like aerial yoga, barre, and Reformer Pilates.

The Chopra Global operations at LNPC will be led by an expert team with oversight from Dr. Chopra himself. Dr. Chopra recently announced plans to become a Lake Nona resident, so he can expand his relationship with the community and be personally involved with the Chopra Mind-Body Zone and Spa.

“I feel that Lake Nona is going to be the leader in the world that will create a movement for what I’ve longed for all my life: a critical mass of people who will engage in personal and total transformation for a more peaceful, just, and a more healthy and enjoyable world. But to get there, we have to take care of ourselves first,” Dr. Deepak Chopra said during a recent meditation event with Lake Nona.

LNPC will redefine the sports, performance, fitness center experience for the Central Florida region featuring leading edge workout equipment, state-of-art classes, and interactive programs driven by the latest performance technology.
