Why we exist
Health technology can measure almost anything. But measurement alone hasn't improved decision quality.
The problem isn't insufficient data. It's that tracking systems are retrospective while health decisions are prospective. By the time data reflects a problem, biology has already paid the cost.
We're building the missing layer: biological forecasting... systems that predict how the body will respond to interventions before they occur.
This requires different infrastructure than tracking. Not dashboards that show what happened, but models that simulate what happens next.

Why Now? The computational unlock
Biological forecasting only became feasible in the last 18 months.
Before 2023, the computational power required to run real-time temporal models of human metabolism at consumer scale didn't exist. Machine learning advances in state-space modeling, combined with increased edge computing capability, opened a new design space.
We're the first research group building in this space because we're the first generation with the infrastructure to make it work.

THE APPROACH Research areas
Temporal biological modeling
Human biology is dynamic, not static. Current state determines response to intervention. We model how biological systems evolve over time, not just their current values.
Context-aware forecasting
The same meal produces different outcomes depending on sleep debt, training load, hormonal phase, stress state. We model biological context to predict individual response, not population averages.
