The product is being marketed for people who wish to improve personal health with a focus on gut discomfort.
Jolted by the pandemic and lockdowns that followed, people on a global scale have become more aware about the need to strengthen personal health, hence triggering a surge in demand for online apps as well as gadgets like fitness bands, which provide regular updates about vitals and even allow users to conduct remote checkups. Smart tech has also been deployed for delivering insights to doctors for data-driven decisions to enhance the quality of care, while machine learning is being used for measuring the effect of pharmaceuticals against viruses.
Apart from immunity boosters, medtech gadgets and supplements available in the market, people are also focusing on what they eat, to make sure they can cut down hospital visits after a year that posed several challenges for the healthcare infrastructure. Following Turkish-origin scientists who made global headlines by contributing towards the discovery of a vaccine against covid, an engineer from the country has created an algorithm that uses bacterial data, to advise people about a healthy diet.
Launched as Embiosis, the AI-driven solution examines microbiome in order to look for a correlation between bacteria and health conditions that affect an individual, before providing insights on what a person can eat to address the issue. The platform being marketed to people who want to improve their overall health, is also focused on gut discomfort.
Embiosis offers a subscription that includes two tests a year, which are used for creating personalised meal plans, sharing dietary recommendations and providing prebiotics. During their research, the team behind this firm also came across 48 strains of bacteria, which are linked to weight gain among human beings.
Although a simple tweak, dietary changes can lead to long term benefits, and also play a role in keeping serious ailments at bay, which makes this service a potential life-saver.
Such measures can also make a difference at a time when an increasing number of people in the Middle East are turning to surgery for losing weight.
