Some things that came to mind that you could fix quickly if you want to: You gotta publish bullet-proof privacy policy and terms of use. You also need to disclose what underlying API you're using (Anthropic, OpenAI, something else?). I'd personally stay with US API providers because of their strong "no using your data" policies. However, that could change at any moment, so you have to be careful.

Positives: Looks great! The use case particularly resonates with me, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.

Suggestion: Instead of me having to ask questions, the app should surface divergent metrics on its own. That's the unlock imho!

Great work, keep it up!

At onboarding, we do provide a term sheet that a user can download.

Regarding API, we use varying models depending on the use case, but yes they're either Openai or Claude. Since everything is hosted on Microsoft Azure, everything is routed through their Foundry.

Regarding asking questions, it does surface insights for wearables daily. For lab records, that's what is being added right now.

Thank you so much for your feedback! Please do register if you'd like to try it out. I would really appreciate feedback on the app itself, whether you use it individually or with others too.

I meant give the info up front on the website.

Currently, I'm not sure if my and my loved ones' info will be up for grabs at some point to a hacker. How do you make sure that it's encrypted/secured on your end? Are the uploaded documents saved on your server or only transient while the inference is occurring?

If the ToU and Privacy Policy are available before download, it'll make it much easier for people to join. What are your promises to the user that you will NOT sell their data, etc.?

Please understand that I'm not implying that you, per se, are being underhanded, just saying out loud the questions that come to my mind.

Great concept! Keep it up!

Totally get you. This is the kind of feedback I've got in the most often.

I will surely make all the data and privacy much more clear upfront.

Thanks so much!

Would love for you to register and let me know how you like it!
