Function Health, the company Swerdlin co-founded, is a health technology platform that helps users understand their health better through scientifically supported tools and medical-grade diagnostic services. The platform offers access to more than 100 lab tests, along with advanced MRI and CT scans, all backed by FDA-approved artificial intelligence. This combination gives individuals a detailed view of their internal health, helping to detect problems like heart disease, hormonal imbalances, cancer risk, and neurological changes before symptoms appear. Swerdlin’s main goal is to help people live healthier and longer lives by detecting health issues early and making informed decisions.
Swerdlin expressed that being recognized by Goldman Sachs among other notable entrepreneurs was very meaningful for him and his team at Function. He added that their mission to help people live 100 healthy years is now becoming a reality, not just an idea on paper. He said this recognition shows the hard work and innovation that the company brings every day.
