The Sample Concierge report is interesting. Though from an admittedly quick skim I'm not sure how much of it is truly personalized. There's a lot statistics in there, which I guess is unavoidable.

In any case, I like the basic idea of this a LOT. It's an interesting direction to go in, bringing this kind of thing to semi-mass market.
By the way, the line "Our doctors are here to listen" in the call-or-chat box is brilliant. The couple of people I know who have problems they would need to take to this level are completely fed up with doctors that they feel aren't listening to them. This is the market. People who are in strong need of personal level attention.
No kidding. For three pages, effectively (with lots of whitespace).
In fact, for $5,000, your actionable items on the subject of "Difficulty Sleeping" are:
1. Get tested for sleep apnea.
2. Take melatonin.
3. Reduce caffeine intake.
Seriously? The first item is "get tested for thing you are complaining about"?
http://www.medicinenet.com/insomnia/article.htm - I typed in "Difficulty sleeping" into Google, and got this result as the first. It included all three items from the report and took somewhere under sixty seconds to find.
Don't get me wrong - this, and essentially anything medical - is ripe for innovation (I'm working on a almost polar opposite idea myself), and there are some good advances in expert systems for diagnosis that I've seen.
But if you're attempting to get $5,000 to $50,000 out of someone, the sample report you're showing isn't selling it, at all.
Sorry about that, you're totally right - that was an older draft version that got uploaded by mistake (I work for MetaMed). We'll have the new one up in a day or so when the launch chaos has died down.
(I can send you a bunch of our more current research tonight if you're interested in this particular subject - email me at avance@metamed.com)
"Concierge" for medical service feels a little cheesy to me, but I'm not in that income demo so I could be completely wrong.
The sample Surface report looks kinda thin to me for $5,000. http://www.metamed.com/static/Meta_Sleep.pdf
The Expanded report is a little better. http://www.metamed.com/static/Meta_H_Pylori.pdf
