We’re on a mission to extend the universal healthspan

Hey there,

If you're reading this, you're probably like us—spending most of your days juggling work, family, and trying to stay healthy. 

You might find yourself waiting months for a specialist appointment, Googling your symptoms at 2 AM, or religiously following the latest health advice from your favorite podcaster.

But have you ever wondered how we got here? How did we go from relying on ourselves and our communities for health to outsourcing it to a complex system of doctors, WebMD, and an endless stream of health gurus?

To answer these questions and explain why we created Bevel, let's go back in time.

For most of human history, health was a deeply personal and communal practice. People were their own first line of defense, attuned to their bodies and environment. Ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine viewed health holistically, considering lifestyle, diet, and community as integral to well-being. Health wasn't something you outsourced—it was woven into the fabric of daily life.

Fast forward to the 19th century. The discovery of germs revolutionized medicine. Suddenly, we had a scientific explanation for diseases. This led to incredible advancements—vaccines, antibiotics, and surgeries that seemed like miracles.

But something else happened, too. As medicine became more complex, we started to see our bodies as machines that needed expert mechanics to fix them.

In the 20th century, healthcare became industrialized. Insurance companies, pharmaceutical giants, and hospital chains emerged. They promised to take care of our health, and we gladly handed over the key.

Now, here we are in the 21st century. We're sending robots to Mars and teaching AI to write poetry, yet we can't seem to crack the code of human well-being.

Chronic diseases are skyrocketing. We're living longer, but not necessarily better. We've become passive consumers of healthcare rather than active participants in our own well-being.

That's why we created Bevel. We want to bring back the notion that you are the expert on your own body. We're not dismissing modern medicine—far from it. But we believe that you should be the CEO of your health, with doctors and technology as your advisors, not your managers.

Bevel isn’t just another health app. It's a comprehensive approach that synthesizes all your health data to arm you with the tools to make informed decisions. Bevel puts you in the driver's seat of your own health rather than leaving it as something that just happens to you.

At Bevel, we believe in world-class design. Beyond charts and numbers, the app needs to be simple and intuitive to provide actionable insights. We also believe health data should be interoperable. You should be able to choose which wearable to use and not be locked into an ecosystem.

Lastly, we care deeply about privacy and security. We never store your data without explicit permission and never sell or share your information with third parties. 

So that's Bevel. We're only in the first chapter of this story. There's a lot more to come. We're looking for early adopters like you to help shape this new era of personal health. If you're curious, give Bevel a try and let us know what you think!
