How are your mitolevels right now?

Hypothesis: mitchondria population levels reveal macro health trends. if mitolevels are as common and easy to measure as body temperature, blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep, we can cure/prevent many diseases and health conditions...

Why haven't we solved cancer, brain, and energy diseases?

Hmmm...another interesting paper about mitochondria

These mitochondria things seem extremely important...

Extremely understudied.

We need more mito images!

1,000,000x more!

More people

More cell types

More frequent

Phase 1: build a public dataset of 1 billion human mito images by end of year.

1 million subjects

100 images per session

10 sessions @ 2 week intervals

1 trillion by EOY 2026

Figure out what "healthy" mitolevels are

Phase 2: at home device for measuring mitolevels

Timeline

v0 by 1/31

funding/presales for protoype

team by 2/28

hardware product by Q4 2025

Basic science

Using cheap microscope, cheap video cam, and AI to detect mitos without staining

Need to validate against large dataset

Stain approach

a simple, cheap, non-toxic stain

Non-optical approaches

1 bench space & core access to build our validation set
