Question 1

What is the Phi Longevity Score?

Accepted Answer

The Phi Longevity Score is a 0–100 composite score that summarizes your overall health status based on your uploaded data. Higher is better.

It's calculated across five health pillars, each reflecting a distinct dimension of your health:

• Food & Drink: Dietary patterns, metabolic markers, and nutritional biomarkers from your labs
• Movement & Strength: Physical activity, muscle health, and exercise-related biomarkers
• Mind & Sleep: Sleep quality, stress response, cognitive markers, and mental recovery
• Regenerative Self-Healing: Supplementation, inflammation markers, hormones, and repair pathways
• Leading Edge & Aesthetic: Advanced longevity biomarkers, clinical follow-ups, and aesthetic health

Your score is meant to track trends over time — not to be a perfect snapshot in any single reading. Upload new data regularly to see how your score changes.

Question 2

How often should I upload labs?

Accepted Answer

Quarterly uploads are ideal. This gives the system enough data to identify trends, track whether your interventions are working, and update your recommendations before too much time has passed.

At a minimum, upload annually — ideally after your yearly physical when you have fresh labs in hand.

If you're actively managing a specific condition or making a significant lifestyle change (new supplement protocol, major diet shift, new training program), uploading every 6–8 weeks gives you a meaningful feedback loop.

The more consistently you upload, the more accurate your Phi Longevity Score trend becomes over time.

Question 3

What wearables are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently supported with native OAuth integration:
• Oura Ring — HRV, SpO2, sleep stages, readiness score
• Google Health (formerly Fitbit) — HRV, sleep, heart rate, activity
• WHOOP — HRV, recovery score, sleep stages, strain

Connect from your dashboard. Your Phi Longevity Score updates daily with your wearable data.

Additional integrations (Garmin) are in development.

Question 4

Is this medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No — and we want to be clear about that from the start.

Phi Longevity is a health data intelligence tool. The reports and recommendations we generate are based on your personal health data and published research literature. They're designed to help you understand your data, identify patterns, and have better conversations with your doctor.

They are not a diagnosis. They are not a treatment plan. They are not a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare professional. Always consult your doctor before making changes to your medications, supplements, or major health behaviors.

Question 5

How is my health data stored and protected?

Accepted Answer

Your data is stored on Google Cloud Platform (Firebase) infrastructure in the United States. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Access is role-based and logged — meaning only you can access your data through your authenticated account, and any Phi Longevity employee access is documented and restricted.

Phi Longevity is not a healthcare provider or a "covered entity" under HIPAA for your personal account. We store your records in HIPAA-eligible systems under a signed business associate agreement with Google Cloud, and we protect them to that standard. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

We do not sell your health information, and we share it only with the service providers that run Phi Longevity and with the people you choose. For full details, see our Privacy Policy and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (philongevity.com/consumer-health-data-privacy).

Question 6

What types of lab results do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support most standard formats for health data:

• Lab results: PDFs from any major lab (Quest, LabCorp, hospital systems), CSV exports, structured data
• Wearables: Native sync with Oura Ring, Google Health (formerly Fitbit), and WHOOP. Garmin exports accepted via manual upload.
• Imaging reports: Radiology report PDFs (text analyzed, not images)
• Genetic summaries: 23andMe, AncestryDNA health export summaries
• Clinical notes: PDFs of visit summaries and physician notes

If your data is in a format we don't yet support, upload it anyway and contact support — we're expanding our ingestion capabilities continuously.

Question 7

Who is Phi Longevity for?

Accepted Answer

Phi Longevity is for anyone who wants to understand their health data and show up to their next doctor's appointment prepared.

More specifically, it's a good fit if you:
• Get regular bloodwork or lab tests and want to understand them more deeply
• Use a wearable and want your data connected to clinical context
• Manage a chronic condition and want a clearer picture of your trends over time
• Are health-conscious and want evidence-based guidance, not wellness hype
• Want to be a more informed patient

It's not a crisis tool. If you have an urgent or acute health issue, please contact your healthcare provider directly.

Question 8

Is Phi Longevity still running in-person programs?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no in-person programs today. In 2024 we ran a small pilot in Colorado. It taught us what to build. Today Phi Longevity is software that helps you bring your records together and share a one-page summary with your clinicians.

Question 9

Who is behind Phi Longevity?

Accepted Answer

Phi Longevity was founded in 2023 by Steve Pinedo and Michele Scott in Colorado. We are a small founding team, and Phi Longevity PRISM is software. We are not a healthcare provider.

Question 10

How does the AI analysis work?

Accepted Answer

Your uploaded data is processed through an analysis pipeline that extracts key metrics, identifies patterns, and maps your results against evidence-based reference ranges from published research. The system then generates a report structured around your Five Pillars: Food and Drink, Movement and Strength, Mind and Sleep, Regenerative Self-Healing, and Leading Edge and Aesthetic.

Each recommendation in your report includes the research rationale — not just "here's what to do," but "here's why, based on this evidence."

We don't use a black-box model that can't explain itself. Every insight is traceable. Every recommendation is cited.

Question 11

What does a typical report look like?

Accepted Answer

Your report is organized into five sections — one per pillar. For each pillar, you'll see:

• Your status: Where you are relative to optimal ranges
• Key metrics: The specific data points driving the analysis
• What it means: A plain-language interpretation of what the data suggests
• Recommendations: 2–4 specific, actionable steps ranked by expected impact
• Research basis: Citations from peer-reviewed studies supporting each recommendation

Reports are formatted to be readable in about 15 minutes. They're also formatted for sharing with a clinician — clean, structured, and free of consumer-app aesthetics.

Question 12

Can I share results with my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's one of the main reasons we built the product.

You can export any report as a PDF and share it however you'd like. The report format is designed to be useful in a clinical context: clear, structured, and professionally presented.

Many of our users bring their Phi Longevity report to annual physicals or specialist appointments as a starting point for conversation. Several have told us it's the first time their doctor actually reviewed their full health picture in one sitting.

Question 13

How do I cancel my trial?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime with no friction. Contact us at support@philongevity.com and we'll take care of it immediately — no runaround, no retention flow.

Your access continues until the end of your trial or billing period. We don't charge you if you cancel before your trial ends. For more details, see our Terms of Service.

Question 14

How is this different from asking ChatGPT about my labs?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT can read a lab result you paste into it. Phi Longevity does something fundamentally different:

• Grounded, not generative: A general chatbot improvises from the open web and can be confidently wrong. Phi Longevity runs a defined, published methodology against peer-reviewed reference ranges — so you get the same rigorous analysis every time, not a different freeform answer with each prompt.
• Persistent memory: We store your data across every upload. ChatGPT starts fresh every conversation. We remember your labs from 18 months ago and can show you the trend.
• Structured biomarker tracking: We extract 160+ biomarkers and track them over time with trend visualization. ChatGPT gives you prose.
• Wearable integration: Your Oura, Google Health, or WHOOP data flows directly into your Phi Longevity Score. ChatGPT has no access to your wearable.
• Clinician-ready output: We generate a formatted clinical brief your doctor can read in 30 seconds. ChatGPT generates a conversation.
• Evidence-anchored recommendations: Every recommendation cites the peer-reviewed research behind it.
• Private by design: Phi Longevity is built to securely store your full health record. Pasting your personal medical data into a general chatbot isn't private — and it can't hold your history anyway.

General AI is powerful. Phi Longevity is purpose-built for your unique health history.

Question 15

Will my doctor take this seriously?

Accepted Answer

It is built to be read the way a clinician reads a clinical document, and that was a core design requirement.

The Phi Longevity clinician report is structured like a clinical document: biomarker table with values and reference ranges, trend data across multiple measurements, flagged out-of-range values, and evidence-cited recommendations.

A Phi Longevity report puts the values, ranges, trends and citations in one place, so a clinician can see the data and the sources behind each point.

Question 16

Does HIPAA apply to my Phi Longevity account?

Accepted Answer

Phi Longevity is not a healthcare provider or a "covered entity" under HIPAA for your personal account. We store your records in HIPAA-eligible systems under a signed business associate agreement with Google Cloud, and we protect them to that standard. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

Specifically:

• All health data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
• Data is stored in HIPAA-eligible Google Cloud infrastructure with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place
• We do not sell your health information or use it for advertising; we share it only with the service providers that run Phi Longevity and with the people you choose
• You can request a full export or deletion of your data at any time from your account page
• EU users are covered under GDPR-compliant data handling

Your lab results, biomarker data, and health history are private. Full stop.

Question 17

What if I only have one lab result?

Accepted Answer

One lab result is a great start — you will get immediate value.

With a single upload you get:
• Your Phi Longevity Score across four clinical risk domains
• A biomarker-by-biomarker analysis with reference ranges and status flags
• Personalized recommendations tied to your specific values
• A clinician report ready to bring to your next appointment

The platform becomes more powerful with each upload. Your second upload shows trends. Your fifth upload shows trajectory. But day one delivers real insight — and most users say the first report surfaces something their doctor never flagged.

Question 18

How is my Phi Longevity Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your Phi Longevity Score (0–100) is a weighted composite of five clinical pillars, each weighted by its contribution to long-term healthspan:

• Metabolic (30%): Blood-sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity — HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin (HOMA-IR), triglycerides
• Cardiovascular (25%): Atherosclerosis and heart-disease risk from your lipids — ApoB, Lp(a), LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides
• Hormonal (20%): Thyroid, adrenal, and sex-hormone balance — TSH, Free T3/T4, testosterone, estradiol, DHEA-S, cortisol
• Inflammation & Immunity (15%): Systemic inflammation and immune signals — hs-CRP, ESR, homocysteine, ferritin, Omega-3 Index (plus lupus serology when condition-appropriate)
• Foundational Health (10%): Core organ systems, blood health, and key vitamins & minerals — eGFR/creatinine (kidney), ALT/AST/GGT (liver), CBC, Vitamin D, B12, folate

Each pillar is compared against longevity-optimized reference ranges — not just standard lab normal ranges. The difference matters: a "normal" LDL by conventional standards may still be suboptimal for longevity.

(Foundational Health was previously labeled "Biological Age"; we renamed it for accuracy — it reflects organ-system and nutrient health, not an epigenetic aging clock.)

Your wearable data (HRV, sleep, steps, RHR), when connected, contributes recovery and lifestyle signals to the Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Hormonal pillars.
