Research

Inquiry before implementation.

Every product we build starts with research — understanding the domain, the people, and the problem deeply before a single line of code is written.

Focus areas

Our research spans the domains where our products live — clinical nutrition, food science, and the design of health technology. We study how people work, decide, and live before we build.

Clinical nutrition

How dietitians and nutritionists work in practice — the workflows, constraints, and judgment calls that software should support, not flatten.

  • Clinical decision support
  • Dietetic workflows
  • Evidence-based practice

Food transparency

What people actually need to know about the products they buy and eat — and how to surface that information without overwhelm.

  • Ingredient literacy
  • Label interpretation
  • Consumer health

Human–AI collaboration

Building AI systems that earn trust in high-stakes contexts — where the human stays in control and the machine does the heavy lifting.

  • Clinical AI
  • Explainability
  • Responsible automation

Health product design

The intersection of wellness, everyday life, and software — making tools that people want to use, not just need to use.

  • Behavioral design
  • Accessibility
  • Product craft

Approach

How we conduct research.

01

Start in the field

We spend time with practitioners and users before writing code. Understanding real workflows is non-negotiable.

02

Prototype in context

Early versions are tested where they'll actually be used — clinics, kitchens, grocery aisles — not just in a lab.

03

Publish what we learn

Insights from our research inform our products and, where useful, are shared with the broader community.

Collaborate

Research partnerships and academic inquiry.

We're open to collaborating with researchers, clinicians, and institutions working in our focus areas. If you're exploring similar questions, we'd like to hear from you.
