DATA ARCHITECTURE
Built on 130+ years of clinical science.
SenseMe doesn't invent the science. We integrate it — combining 7 validated clinical instruments cited from peer-reviewed journals, 5 sensor categories, and accredited partner-lab panels into one continuous translation of your body.
MEASURED CONTINUOUSLY · 5 CLINICAL-QUALITY SENSORS
The hardware — and the studies behind each signal.
SENSOR HERITAGE · FIRST DESCRIBED → CLINICALLY VALIDATED
Every sensor traces to a documented clinical first.
Electrodermal activity (EDA)
Fere (France) & Tarchanoff (Russia, 1890) establish the two skin-conductance methods still used today. Standardised for research by the Society for Psychophysiological Research7.
Photoplethysmography (PPG)
Alrick Hertzman (Saint Louis University) builds the first photoelectric plethysmograph and coins the term9.
Bioimpedance (BIS)
Thomasset pioneers tissue impedance for total body water; the tetrapolar method is validated by Lukaski (1985) and standardised by ESPEN8.
Circadian body-temperature clock
Jurgen Aschoff & Rutger Wever, Max Planck Institute (Munich), prove the endogenous temperature rhythm in the bunker experiments10. Wrist-temperature index established 20084.
Pulse oximetry (SpO2)
Takuo Aoyagi (Nihon Kohden, Tokyo) derives SpO2 from the PPG pulse — credited with a 40x reduction in anaesthesia deaths2.
Actigraphy (IMU)
Kripke et al. (UC San Diego) validate wrist actigraphy against EEG/PSG with near-perfect agreement for sleep time11; adopted as the clinical standard by the AASM, 20036.
A FOUNDATION OF VALIDATED SCIENCE
From 1888 to today — the research behind every signal.
QUESTIONNAIRE HERITAGE · FIRST PUBLISHED → CLINICAL STANDARD
Six validated instruments. Decades of peer-reviewed evidence.
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) published.
Cohen, Kamarck & Mermelstein develop the most-cited psychological stress measure in clinical literature — used in 50,000+ research studies. Anchors your Brain score.
Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) published.
Svedlund, Sjodin & Dotevall develop the 15-item scale used in nearly every IBS, dyspepsia, and reflux clinical trial since. Anchors your Gut score.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) published.
Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman & Kupfer at the University of Pittsburgh establish a validated sleep-quality questionnaire, widely used in research. Anchors your Recovery score.
Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36) published.
Ware & Sherbourne at the RAND Corporation publish the most-cited general health survey in medical literature — used in over 4,000 clinical studies. Anchors your Longevity benchmark.
Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) published.
Heaton & Lewis at the University of Bristol publish the 7-point visual scale that becomes the global standard for assessing gut transit and IBS subtype.
IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) published.
Francis, Morris & Whorwell publish the validated 5-question instrument that becomes the primary endpoint in modern IBS clinical trials.
SenseMe integrates all six into one continuous translation system.
SenseMe integrates all six instruments into one continuous translation system — correlating validated questionnaire data with continuous biosignal readings in a single dashboard.
Citations available on request. SenseMe uses each instrument under its original published methodology.
CONFIRMED IN THE LAB · CLIA-CERTIFIED / ISO-15189 · 7 PARTNER LABS
When you want certainty, the labs confirm it.
Optional add-ons, results flow into your scores.
LAB METHOD HERITAGE · FIRST DESCRIBED → CLINICAL STANDARD
Every lab test runs on a method with a documented clinical first.
Radioimmunoassay — hormone measurement
Rosalyn Yalow & Solomon Berson measure picomolar hormone levels in plasma for the first time — the foundation of every cortisol / DHEA-S immunoassay (Yalow, Nobel Prize 1977)12.
Dried blood spot — finger-prick collection
Robert Guthrie & Ada Susi introduce blood-spot sampling for population newborn screening — the method behind today's at-home finger-prick blood panels13.
16S rRNA sequencing — microbiome ID
Carl Woese & George Fox establish 16S ribosomal RNA as the universal bacterial fingerprint — the basis of all skin- and gut-microbiome profiling14.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Saiki, Mullis et al. publish the first diagnostic application of PCR — the DNA-amplification engine behind GI-Map and fungal panels (Mullis, Nobel Prize 1993)15.
hsCRP inflammation standard
The CDC & American Heart Association set high-sensitivity CRP as the clinical marker for systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk16.
Human skin-microbiome map
Grice et al. (NIH / NHGRI) publish the first topographical map of the human skin microbiome — the reference for skin-swab diversity scoring17.
ITS fungal barcode & Human Microbiome Project
Schoch et al. establish the ITS region as the universal fungal barcode18; the Human Microbiome Project Consortium defines the healthy human microbiome reference19.
88+ biomarkers
STANDARDS WE MEET
What each of those 219 signals & markers actually measures — below.
The science is solid. Now see it in action.
DATA ARCHITECTURE · GROUND TRUTH MAPPING
Every value. Every source.
Nothing invented.
SenseMe combines 5 sensors, 7 validated instruments, 5 lab panels, AI scan, and skin patch data into 6 domain scores — each signal traceable to its exact biological source.
The stack
Every signal accounted for.
SenseMe doesn't rely on one data source. It triangulates across many — most validated by decades of clinical research. Here is the science under the hood.
0 signals across 5 tiers. 0 validated clinical instruments. 1 dashboard that finally listens to all of them.
This is why your data finally makes sense.
