4YouandMe was formed in 2017 to help lower the burden of chronic diseases for all people, especially those who have the highest need and lowest access to quality care. Using smartphones and other digital devices they design ways to predict the onset, remission, and relapse of diseases, symptoms, and complications at an individual level in ways that can be useful for those individuals to anticipate, mitigate, and celebrate transitions in health. They will prototype how people can best share data and insights for mutual benefit so as to provide both support and shared lessons.

4YouandMe believes that there are a set of fundamental realities about how to generate individual predictive assessments, which is deeply tied to returning true agency to individuals, giving them a sense of mastery. Explicating these realities and building tools that reflect them, will be critical to designers of health systems at every scale, and everywhere. For many chronic conditions, they postulate that the ebb and flow of symptoms are essentially governed by stress and the reactions it engenders. Tools that accurately measure, monitor and manage stress and its sequelae can directly help individuals forecast and manage disease progression.
