It has transformed genomics and health by enabling rapid, in-depth analysis of genetic material across humans and microbes. In clinical practice, it speeds up diagnosis by detecting pathogenic variants and infectious agents that elude traditional tests. In medicine, it enables personalized approaches—guiding targeted therapies, prognosis, and prevention strategies tailored to an individual’s genome and microbiome. In research, it powers breakthroughs through large-scale, high-resolution studies of cancer genomics, rare diseases, and complex ecosystems such as the gut. At its core, it translates complex data into actionable insights that accelerate care and discovery.
Within microbiome science, it reveals both who resides in the gut and what they can do. InnerBuddies leverages this data in a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power gut microbiome testing products. The Gut Microbiome Health Index—an exclusive 0–100 score of gut health—comes from a collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia. Beyond the index, you’ll see bacterial abundances for a top 40 set and categorized bacterial metabolic functions, each labeled as positive or negative, so you can compare results to a healthy cohort and gauge where you stand on every functional pathway.
The platform keeps expanding with Target Group analysis, offering deep dives into how the microbiome supports Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and many other topics. By linking stool metagenomics with lifestyle data, InnerBuddies delivers personalized nutrition advice and tailored probiotic and prebiotic guidance to align with objectives. This data-driven approach is designed to empower individuals to make informed choices about food and supplements in the context of their unique gut microbiome. It also provides gut test solutions directly to consumers, while every B2B capability is accessible to individual customers as well.
