Epigenetics
Your epigenome reflects your everyday life choices
Epigenetics focuses on modifications that regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Various environmental factors, including lifestyle choices, chemical exposure, and early-life experiences, can influence these modifications.
In simple words, if DNA is your hardware, think of epigenetics as the software.
Twin Cases
Imagine two identical twins who were brought up under different conditions. They have the same DNA, but their epigenomes can differ due to external factors. For example, one twin may develop cancer due to carcinogen exposure, while the other may not.
Risk Analysis
Disease risk analysis is based on the study of epigenetic changes and measures a person's risk of specific conditions.
Precise treatments
Overall, epigenetics is essential in shaping our health outcomes, and understanding these mechanisms can lead to new treatments and interventions.
Our platform
Our platform builds a “dynamic health score” which combines epigenetic and lifestyle data to deliver day-to-day information on how your health profile develops.
EPIGENETIC ANALYSES
We start with analyzing your epigenetic profile using a single saliva sample to measure your biological age and to identify your risks for age-related diseases. Once you want more precise results on your risk of diseases we also ask for a blood sample.
LIFESTYLE
ANALYSES
An important factor for your healthspan is your lifestyle - your physical activity and environment. This is why we consider them when forming your dynamic health score.
Location
We match your epigenetic profile with environmental factors such as air quality, air pressure, sea elevation, atmospheric pressure, weather conditions, etc. This gives us direct insight into how your environment impacts you. If you are particularly vulnerable to these factors, you will see how they affect your daily dynamic health score.
Telematics
Connecting a wearable device updates your personal dynamic health score by feeding daily information on your physical activities. For example, step count, heart rate, oxygen level, skin temperature, sleep duration and quality, and calories burnt. This helps you understand how healthy activities are improving your health on a daily basis.
