Machine Learning in the Commercial Healthcare Space
For people living with chronic inflammatory disease, understanding the progression of the illness can feel like flying blind. Other than obvious changes in pain, energy, or other symptoms, they often do no know how their body is responding to treatment. The human body is always communicating to us how it is doing through shifts in biometric patterns and spikes in inflammation. But how does a person with chronic inflammatory disease know on a day-to-day basis? By powering our commercial software with the same technology we are building for Airmen and their medical care teams, we help people with chronic inflammatory disease tap into their body’s internal rhythms and point them toward behavioral choices that will have the most impact on improving quality of life.

Air Force Origins
Our CEO and founder, Ryan Jankord, launched Adyptation in 2017, but before that, he was working at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), which is based out of the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. As a physiologist and later the director of Neurobiology of Cognitive Performance, Ryan oversaw research with the Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing to investigate the ways in which stress and other environmental factors influence the ability of the human body to perform at a high operational tempo. Naturally, the US Air Force has a vested interest in this sort of research: Findings can inform how the military can better train and treat its Airmen so that pilots can maintain peak performance levels and therefore mission readiness.
