About Jona
Jona is on a mission to reveal the relationship between our gut microbiome and health. Microbiome science has been exploding over the last decade with thousands of scientific studies showing the link to human health, including GI conditions, autoimmune conditions, oncology, metabolic disease, athletic performance, longevity, depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s Disease, and more. Yet, so far, the microbiome has been too complex and the science too fast-moving to benefit patients in practice.
Jona has developed transformative AI technology to analyze an individual's microbiome, interpret the results, and summarize what is known today about that individual's microbiome profile based on the scientific literature. With actionable insights and recommendations, individuals can get to the root cause of their symptoms and prevent chronic disease.
We believe that fully realizing the microbiome in medicine will create whole new diagnostics, change patient pathways, develop new therapeutic classes, alter our food supply, and extend human longevity.
