InsideTracker: the Quantified Self of Your Inner Space ?

It seems almost a daily ritual lately that as you peruse the health 2.0 blogs you will come across an interesting article or two focused on the Quantified Self, and specifically new sensor technologies aimed at feeding back incredible layers of data to the individual sporting the device. And as compelling and promising as sensor technology surely is, there is a source of data within each of us that already exists and is now being tapped like never before to manifest incredibly specific regimens to best regulate our own body. The source of data we are referring to is of course, our blood.

InsideTracker is a consumer facing offering, brought to us by Segterra, Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts start-up who would like nothing more than to give the human race a far greater understanding of how our daily decisions affect our own, individual, inner space. Combining in-depth blood analysis with data visualizations, incredibly personalized wellness recommendations, and gamification, InsideTracker has created a powerful offering for those who really want to understand what is best for their individual body. How specific do their recommendations get? Very. For example, their nutritional nudges don’t just point out a deficiency, but they give you multiple and specific food recommendations that will properly balance the deficiency without throwing off other essential bio-markers.
