Personalized health

There are many companies that offer personalized health solutions to help individuals. Some offer imaging services while others are more specific: for cancer diagnosis or hormone levels.

Consider some examples:

Personalis: Cancer Biomarker Discovery through liquid biopsy and other precision oncology tools. They have collaborations with many institutions but it is not clear what makes their technology unique beyond their platform as seen from their website. https://www.personalis.com/

qbio: These promise whole body imaging MRI to find areas that may be problematic. Unique value proposition since it may be able to find areas that are potentially troublesome in the future.The one issue is that it will always find something such as cysts that may be hard to interpret and it may be expensive to implement. Website: q.bio

Citizen Health: An AI health to get personalized answers to queries. It is a mix of advocacy and information system. A great benefit appears to be a single place to have all the health data though the website does not make it clear on how it is implemented. Website: https://www.citizen.health/

Clair: An application that tracks multiple inputs from the wrist such as temperature, heart beat, HRV, and other sensor measurable metrics and then uses an algorithm to calculate/infer specific hormonal levels such as those during ovulation. The multi-modal AI integration of data is powerful but how it would normalize individual variation is not fully clear. Website: https://wearclair.com/
