- 01Metric & target
Engagement of ring members, tested as a proof of concept.
- 02Strategy
Stand apart from general-purpose AI on four things: individual baselines, cross-signal insight, long-term memory and proactive nudges.
- 03Problem
Ring data alone didn't help people understand their health or act on their goals.
- 04Root cause
Research across ~1,100 Oura, Whoop, sleep and biohacking posts showed users care about change from their own baseline more than absolute scores.
- 05Fix & execution
Made baseline-relative insight the core principle. Architected and built the first version from scratch, then partnered with engineering to take it to production scale.
