Project Overview:
Over 88% of consumers have reportedly made dietary changes to improve their health; however, most still rely on non-specific dietary guidelines that overlook their genomic predispositions.
Traditional multivitamins and food recommendations often lack clinical-grade precision and personalization. Our client, Genopalate, saw a growing need for scientifically validated wellness solutions that go beyond age and gender filters to deliver actionable, individualized health insights rooted in nutrigenomics & precision nutrition.
Folio3 Digital Health developed a DNA-based food and nutrition recommendation platform that analyzes saliva-derived genetic data to deliver highly personalized reports. The platform generates customized supplement plans and dietitian-led guidance tailored to each user’s genetic profile, age, gender, and lifestyle. By integrating genotype information with behavioral and lifestyle data, the system enables precision nutrition management to support optimized health and wellness.
Challenges Faced by Our Client
- Generic supplement, limited personalization: Existing products used age-based formulas, lacking a platform to deliver DNA-personalized nutrition guidance.
- A HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with flexible subscription was needed: A HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with flexible subscriptions was essential to securely manage PHI and support ongoing, personalized health guidance.
- Lack of third-party integration: Billing systems & external health tools (e.g., wearables, EHRs, or fitness apps) remained disconnected from the main system.
Solutions
DNA Decoding for Personalized Nutrition Insights
- Our advanced DNA analysis engine interprets genetic markers to deliver science-backed nutrition recommendations. This algorithm translates individual genetic predispositions into personalized insights on nutrient needs, sensitivities, and wellness strategies, enabling highly tailored health guidance, a foundation for precision nutrition.
HIPAA-Compliant Subscription Flexibility
- Our HIPAA-compliant platform's try-before-you-subscribe option allows users to purchase a DNA report once and experience personalized nutrition insights before committing to personalized supplement subscriptions. For continued guidance, a six-month subscription includes optional consultations with a resident dietitian.
Billing Integration
- Quarterly and bi-annual billing, along with support for monthly installment payments (BNPL) integrated with Shopify’s Google Pay and credit card options, allows users to leverage the benefits of personalized supplements with a convenient payment method.
