Precision medicine,
adaptive by design.
Your body is not a population mean. BalanceByte builds measurable, evidence-grounded intelligence that adapts to the individual, and holds every product to a single test: does it help someone make a decision about their body that their own data confirms is working?
Precision health needs two things working together.
Tailoring guidance to an individual requires continuous personal data, which means a sensing layer that captures the body’s signals comfortably, and an intelligence layer that turns those signals into guidance a person will actually act on.
Everyday health products fail on both fronts. They demand behaviour change people will not sustain, and they rely on rigid devices people will not wear continuously. We are building the intelligence layer into a real business now, and pursuing the sensing layer as a staged research programme that the software’s audience and revenue help de-risk.
Software first, deliberately
The intelligence layer earns revenue, builds the record and proves the model while the research matures. Each phase must earn its next.
Neither layer works alone
A sensor without behavioural context produces numbers nobody acts on. A behaviour model without physiology is guessing. The value is in the pairing, which is why we build toward both rather than pick one and call it precision.
The moat is the record
A sensor can be copied. A longitudinal, auditable record of what actually happened, and the behaviour model built on it, cannot.
Three programmes, one standard.
Different buyers, different clocks, one discipline: nothing ships that we cannot defend with evidence, and nothing is described here as further along than it is.
Lattice
One system of record for every experiment a lab runs. Sample lineage, instrument data, versioned methods and a hash-chained audit trail, so a scientific result can be checked rather than simply trusted.
For academic core facilities & PI labs
The nutrition app
Snap or say what you ate, answer at most two questions, and get a judgement-free picture of your nutrition. No meal plan, no failure state, no health data sold.
For people who quit every diet app
Research & government
Research and development in continuous physiological monitoring, and research-data integrity for publicly funded work. We collaborate with academic labs and pursue non-dilutive federal and state programmes.
For agencies, universities & primes
Five tests a decision either passes or fails.
Our values are written to be enforceable, not aspirational. Where a proposed initiative cannot be traced back to the mission, or does not reflect these values, it does not proceed. When priorities compete, the mission decides.
-
Evidence over hype
Every claim, rule and feature is grounded in current science and real measurement. We would rather ship a smaller capability we can defend than a larger one we cannot. Intelligence must be transparent, auditable and explainable to the person relying on it.
-
The individual, not the average
People are not population means. Guidance adapts to a person’s own signals and is confirmed against their own data. We inform and empower rather than shame, restrict or manipulate.
-
Ruthless focus
We do a few things exceptionally well and permanently retire the rest. Anything that fragments the core thesis is deferred or killed, however attractive it looks in isolation.
-
Build for trust and compliance
We handle sensitive health data, so we operate to regulated-industry standards from day one. Quality systems, data integrity, privacy and audit readiness are foundational, not retrofitted.
-
Durable systems, sustainable leverage
We build systems that work without any one person in the room, and grow through leverage rather than heroics. Every phase must earn its next: prove value, then expand.
What we don’t claim is part of the product.
“Precision medicine” is a regulated phrase. Drawing the line between wellness and medical claims early, and staying on the right side of it, is what makes the long-term plan credible. Here is exactly where we stand today.
Estimates, not measurements
Nutrition figures from photo or voice input are estimates. We say so in the product.
Wellness, not diagnosis
Nothing we ship today diagnoses, treats or prevents disease, or replaces a clinician.
Research is labelled research
Work that is a laboratory result and not a product is described that way, including to investors.
Your data is never the product
We do not sell health data, and we do not train third-party models on identifiable records.
