The power of contextual, connected data

A man feels chest pain for days before acting. A mother ignores the exhaustion she can’t explain. A teen’s panic attacks go undetected until they spiral. We don’t act because we don’t know. We don’t know because we don’t see a holistic view. Without context, you cannot go from reading the numbers to acting on what they mean. The issue does not lie in a lack of data, but rather in its usability gap.

This isn’t a failure of ours. Or of technology. It’s a failure of getting the right information to the right people, in the right context. As Friedrich Lämmel, CEO of Thryve Health, states, "There are three big overarching problems in healthcare. We treat too late, we treat manually, and we're not very efficient in how we are spending on healthcare."

Shen AI and Thryve Health have come together to transform dislocated health data into meaningful insight.

Too much data, too little insight

Health platforms today collect more data than ever - from wearables, fitness trackers, and mobile health apps. But volume doesn’t equal value. Much of this data remains fragmented, unstructured, and underused.Users rarely get a clear understanding of what these numbers actually mean for their health. Clinicians, in turn, are left with incomplete snapshots, making timely intervention more difficult.

"It's challenging to get all the different metrics that people bring into one picture and make it actionable, condense it in a way that it's easily digestible, one single unified format, one single solution, one single semantic that is understandable,” says Friedrich.

A unified view of health

Shen AI turns an ordinary camera into a real-time health monitor. With just a 30-second scan using a smartphone or laptop, users can capture key health metrics without the hassle of traditional devices or wearables.

"Shen AI is the only technology on the market that analyzes the face from two different perspectives, combining rPPG with remote ballistocardiography" Remi highlights. " Our technology can tell crucial biomarkers such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, or HRV. Everything can be done in only thirty seconds, pretty much with any smartphone or computer, making it something you can deliver to a hundred percent of the user base."

For nearly a decade, Thryve has been the bedrock of digital health, providing easy and seamless access to every health metric that people generate at home. Its unparalleled strength lies in unifying fragmented metrics into one single format, creating a comprehensive, continuous health picture.

From one-off measurements to continuous context

Shen AI captures the moment and Thryve builds a broader context. Together, they enable real-time and longitudinal health monitoring, seamlessly delivered through a smartphone and supported by wearable data. This partnership allows digital health platforms to offer on-demand, secure, and clinically relevant health insights that are both immediate and continuous.

Thryve integrates with wearables like Oura and Apple Watch, as well as connected devices such as blood glucose monitors, creating a steady stream of health data. Shen AI complements this with instant biometric readings like blood pressure, heart rate, and stress — collected in just 30 seconds, without any hardware.

As Friedrich explains, the real value lies in context - moving beyond a single reading to construct a multidimensional health profile that reflects the full picture of an individual’s wellbeing. He states, the challenge isn’t collecting health data - it’s making it speak the same language, in real time, for real decisions.

Real-world impact at scale

Together, Shen AI and Thryve offer a data infrastructure that supports smarter, more responsive care across the healthcare ecosystem - from individual prevention to system-wide population health.

‍

Prevention

With continuous tracking of sleep, stress, cardiovascular metrics, and activity levels, subtle changes can be detected before they escalate into chronic issues. Shen AI enables daily check-ins without added effort, while Thryve contextualizes that data over time, making early intervention more accessible.

‍

Virtual triage

Clinicians can get instant information before even speaking to a patient, leading to quicker, more informed decisions. Friedrich notes it is like "a digital front door," guiding people through an automated triage system to the right level of care. The precision of readings means fewer unnecessary visits, optimized resource allocation, and patients receiving the right care at the right time from the right practitioners.

Digital therapeutics

Real-time, personalized data transforms user engagement because it gives users a sense of agency, turning them into active participants in their health. Seeing tangible improvements and understanding the impact of their choices in real time helps with patient adherence and engagement. As Friedrich explains, "We've seen increased engagements up to 100% when people can share their health status and the service adapts to that." This adaptive, data-driven interaction directly tackles the problems of delivering effective personalized care.

‍

Population health 

By leveraging continuous data from a broad user base, health organizations can monitor entire communities without the logistical burden of devices. Health monitoring makes it significantly easier to identify at-risk populations, predict, track, and treat outbreaks. For instance, Thryve collaborated with the German government during the early stages of COVID, where they "Enabled the Center for Disease Control to analyze hundreds of thousands of users’ wearables data to understand where new infection sets were." The immense power of combined, scalable data collection with no device barrier means public health initiatives and resource planning can help make entire countries better, while spending less. 

‍

Insurers 

For insurance providers, it is a new avenue for policyholder engagement and health promotion. By integrating our technology into mobile apps, insurers gain access to real-time health data, enabling them to actively support their users in maintaining health. This virtual capability can navigate policyholders to the best and often more cost-effective care pathways, improving outcomes while managing expenses.

‍

Non-communicable chronic diseases

For the people living with non-communicable / chronic diseases, this technology provides a way of maintaining a detailed understanding of their health status, without the extra burden of complex tracking landing on the patient. That enables care providers to adapt treatment plans quickly, monitor disease progression, and proactively check in on at-risk individuals and leads to more personalized, effective, and responsive long-term care management. And ultimately a better quality of life for the chronically ill.

‍

Built for trust

Privacy and security are foundational to both Shen AI and Thryve. Shen AI processes all health data locally on the user’s device. No video is stored, and no personal data is uploaded or transmitted. “All of this is happening locally on the user’s device,” confirms Remi Koscielny. “Nothing is stored, and nothing is sent to the cloud for computation.”

Thryve ensures that all data handled through its platform is de-identified and pseudonymized, stored securely in European-owned infrastructure. Both technologies are fully compliant with GDPR and HIPAA standards, giving users and healthcare providers confidence that sensitive health data is handled with the highest level of protection.

‍

From passive data to active insight

Shen AI and Thryve enable a shift from fragmented, passive data to real-time, contextual health insights, embedded in daily life and built for scale.

This collaboration empowers:

• Patients to understand and manage their health more proactively
  
  
• Providers to make timely, data-informed decisions
  
  
• Health systems to deliver more scalable, preventive care
  
  

Together, they help create a healthcare experience where health insights are integrated seamlessly into everyday life, data is actionable from the moment it’s collected, and implementation is simple, secure, and scalable.
