Personal health intelligence that actually moves you forward. Most of us collect health data we never use. Lab results buried in a portal. An Apple Watch full of sleep scores. Clinician notes scattered across providers. Nobody is connecting the dots. Anomaly is your health intelligence layer: one place where wearables, records, and your care team are linked, and where what matters next is clear. ORCHESTRATION, NOT INFORMATION Anomaly doesn't just show you data. It synthesizes a full picture of your health and turns it into a plan with prioritized actions, so nothing falls through the cracks. WHAT'S INSIDE • Connect medical records from 12,000+ U.S. providers through our Fasten Health integration • Import sleep, activity, heart rate, and recovery from Apple Health and wearables • Photograph and upload lab results, prescriptions, and clinician notes, parsed into structured values • Watch your health story compound over time in a longitudinal health memory of biomarkers, conditions, and medications • Receive weekly intelligence reports that surface what changed and what's worth your attention • Work through a prioritized roadmap of tasks built around your goals LONGITUDINAL BY DESIGN The longer you use Anomaly, the more useful it gets. Your health story compounds. Patterns become visible, baselines emerge, and signals you would have missed are flagged early. PRIVACY AND SECURITY Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We follow HIPAA-aligned practices for storage and access. You control which providers and devices are connected, and you can disconnect or delete your data at any time from the in-app Settings screen. WHAT ANOMALY IS NOT Anomaly does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. It is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified clinician about health decisions.

Impulse Mode
Read full descriptionHide full description
Impulse is a guided experiment for changing a stuck behavior — with structure, not willpower. Instead of focusing only on planning or reflection, Impulse helps you work through urges in the moment they arise. You begin with a free baseline to observe patterns, then run a short experiment to test what actually works for you. Features: • Free baseline to understand triggers and patterns • In-the-moment intervention tracking • Daily reflection and structured adjustments • Anonymous by design — no name or email required Impulse is a non-clinical tool for self-observation and experimentation. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment.
