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 U.S. 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.
