Smith believes most individuals are “flying blind” with their well being. As a result of medical information is so fragmented, folks should piece issues collectively themselves or depend on generic AI recommendation from chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, he famous.
Hundred’s aim is to unify all of that information into a transparent, human-friendly image of an individual’s well being.

Hundred makes use of this data to create a personalised plan that tells customers what to eat, the best way to train and which dietary supplements to take, together with clear explanations for why these suggestions matter, Smith defined.
The membership additionally contains follow-up testing and ongoing steering meant to assist folks keep on with adjustments and higher perceive what’s taking place inside their our bodies over time, he added.
As an illustration, the app may flag early indicators of metabolic or hormonal imbalance, clarify what these markers imply in plain language, and suggest particular adjustments — like adjusting protein consumption, starting energy coaching or switching sleep routines — to deal with them.
The app’s core worth, Smith argued, is popping customers’ information right into a structured, evidence-based 100-day customized well being plan. He careworn that each advice is grounded in Hundred’s proprietary proof repository, which is constructed on human trials, not anecdotes or animal research.
The startup additionally deploys brokers to collect new research and proof as analysis emerges. Smith famous that this dedication to staying on high of the newest medical data helps set Hundred other than different direct-to-consumer well being apps.
Whether or not shoppers are prepared to belief a single app with such a broad view of their well being stays to be seen, however Smith is betting that demand for clearer, extra actionable steering — not simply extra information — will proceed to develop.
