How we’re building the world’s most powerful AI to diagnose your everyday symptoms
This weekend I was having brunch in NYC when I met Eliza. She shared her 1.5 years journey to discover the root cause of her fatigue and severe digestive issues. “There is nothing wrong. You are healthy”. Said the first few doctors. Unfortunately, it took her time and effort to find a specialized physician who could help her.
Eliza is not alone. Like her, millions of people Google every day “why am I tired”. Nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances are more common every year in our society. These are driving sleeping disorders, metabolic problems, or brain fog. Finding the solution is not easy. That’s where we come in with our newly revamped quiz.
At Base, we are building the world’s most powerful AI-driven probability engine to diagnose the root causes of your everyday symptoms. With our quiz, you no longer need to investigate for months — you can quickly discover the root cause behind your symptoms or identify areas of improvement.
And the best part? We made this accessible to everyone. It’s free.
How does it work? We collect information about your goals, symptoms, and profile and predict what hormone, vitamin or nutrient could be imbalanced using technology. We sat down with our medical advisory team to create the algorithms that make this possible.
For example, if you are tired and have a certain profile, our quiz will compute that you are:
- 78% likely to be Vitamin D deficient.
- 65% likely to be Vitamin B12 deficient.
- 48% likely to have a Thyroid issue.
Based on that, we will customize a personalized starter test to get to the bottom line of your symptoms.
Part of our mission is to redefine how AI gets used for medical diagnosis. We believe that technology will help scale the best doctors’ knowledge. Building the largest dataset of root causes is an important step in bringing that future into reality.
P.S.: Every member contributes to this mission. Their symptoms and lab results feedback will create better algorithms and help someone who shares the same experience.
