This looks pretty ground breaking! Any plans to expand beyond the US? I can imagine this can be a bit complicated with medical related products?

@aaronoleary Hopefully, but now focused just on the US. We've got a lot of work to do here first.

Hi hunters! 👋 We’re Dan, Jan, and Brent from iollo https://www.iollo.com/. We’re developing an at-home metabolomics test that measures 500+ metabolites in blood to quantify health and your biological rate of aging and then provide evidence-based dietary, behavioral, and, therapeutic action plans to help extend the number of years you’re disease-free (healthspan). The Problem Today’s healthcare system is reactive, meaning diseases are treated only when symptoms are already present. By the time they are detected, they often become serious issues that often require irreversible interventions, like taking lifelong medications and living with their side effects. We end up spending trillions of dollars reactively treating diseases that can largely be prevented with good health monitoring and management. The Solution We built iollo so that you can quantitatively keep track of your wellness and aging and see how your diet, behavior (through your wearables), supplement and medication intake affect the trends of your 500+ blood metabolites, which are small molecules like sugars, vitamins, cholesterol, fats, amino acids, hormones. Last year, one of our collaboration partners published a study of over 11,000 participants that showed that these 500+ metabolites associated and were shared across a wide range of age-related chronic diseases, like cancers, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s disease), and many more. You can use our tests to see how your values, and thus your wellness and rate of aging, are affected when you (1) switch to a new diet, (2) exercise more frequently, (3) try a new supplement, and (4) start a new medication. As you test more over time, you will be able to track the rate of changes of your metabolites and these rates have now been shown to be a good indicator of your long-term health. You'll also receive personal dietary, behavioral, and soon, therapeutic recommendations on how you can improve your healthspan based on your trends. Get your tests now Pre-oder now to get early-access pricing and use PHDEAL for an extra 5% off: https://www.iollo.com/plans About us I did my PhD and postdoctoral research at Stanford University in the field of computational biology, metabolomics, and healthspan and lifespan extension and he developed ML-based tools for drug repurposing. Jan, whom I did my PhD with, is a professor of computational biomedicine and metabolomics at Cornell University, where he’s published 80+ metabolomics-related papers with a focus on age-related chronic diseases, like cancers, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Brent is an Olympian and studied Health & Exercise Science and was the co-founder and head of product & design of Circle Medical, a primary care provider via video and in-person. We believe we have a real chance to change the standard of care in health while we develop our fundamental understanding of human health, physiology, and aging. We hope to expand metabolomics test access to users and patients, and give providers a new way to help treat age-related diseases. We really look forward to your feedback and questions - so please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or reach out! Thanks again everyone!

This looks cool and something I'd like to try. Until I watched that video on gathering the sample. 🤪 I have a massive fear/hatred of needles. I was nervous at the start of that video, then the thunk of the button wasn't thrilling - then I saw the marks left on her arm when she removed the device. Closed that browser tab right-quick and NOPEd away quickly. I know it's early, but if you guys can figure out how to make that process less dramatic or somehow put the mentally-weak like me at ease, that'd probably help many quite a lot...

Looks amazing! Could you talk a bit about your data privacy process?

@beau_allison Good question! We are HIPAA compliant, meaning all of your protected health information (PHI) is encrypted and kept safe. Your information, results, and recommendations will never be shared with employers or insurance companies. You can opt in to participate in scientific research, like drug discovery, only using your anonymized data if you want, but it will never be shared without your consent. And we will only select research that would also benefit those taking the tests, ie. help you live longer or healthier. Our membership plans will sustain and allow us to grow to help more people without selling your data.

Hey @brentlarue - just feedback from a security/privacy nerd - this answer and the FAQ on the website isn't good enough...maybe it would have been a few years ago. HIPAA is nice, but TBH that doesn't help me much in event of a compromise. How is my data encrypted? Where is the key? Who can access it? Is the data backed up? Is that encrypted? How are systems which access sensitive data secured? Are they connected to the Internet? Are you doing all this processing yourselves, or using 3rd parties? How do I trust them? How easy is it for me, if I decide, to ensure that any trace of my PII is completely erased from anywhere that it is stored? I'd suggest if you're serious about showing that you're doing this right, that you have a whitepaper accessible on the website that answers things more thoroughly. Not many will read it, but it'll mean a lot for those of us who care - and talk. Looking at the team, I see no CISO or privacy officer highlighted...
