Health & Fitness
Physical wellbeing through exercise, nutrition, and rest. Your body is the foundation that supports everything else in your life.
The evidence
The model, research and method behind SelfOS, and how your data stays yours.
LADI Framework
SelfOS looks at four areas of life together, because they influence one another.
Physical wellbeing through exercise, nutrition, and rest. Your body is the foundation that supports everything else in your life.
Your professional life, purpose, and meaningful work. This dimension encompasses job satisfaction, career growth, skills development, and work-life harmony.
Financial health, security, and abundance. Managing money wisely creates freedom and reduces stress.
Meaningful connections with family, friends, and community. Humans thrive through genuine relationships.
The method
SelfOS builds on habit-formation methods from behavioral research: start small, anchor new habits to routines you already have, and adjust as you go.
Start impossibly small to remove friction. Read one page, do one pushup, meditate for one minute.
Link new habits to existing ones for automatic triggers. After I pour my morning coffee, I will write three things I'm grateful for.
Understand cue-routine-reward cycles and design better loops. Replace bad habits by keeping the cue and reward.
See progress across your four dimensions, on hard days too.
KAI is the AI coach inside SelfOS. It works from what you choose to enter.
You decide what you share with a coach, and you can change it at any time.
Your entries are private by default. You decide what to share.
Coaches see only what you choose to share with them.
Organizations see group trends, not your personal entries.

Evidence, not hype
Mental wellbeing does not live in a silo. Research across sleep, movement, relationships, work, finances and behavior change supports looking at the system around the person — not only one symptom or one habit.
Cambridge researchers followed almost 290,000 people for nine years. A favorable combination of seven lifestyle factors was associated with a 57% lower risk of depression than an unfavorable pattern.
Harvard’s Global Flourishing Study follows more than 200,000 people across 22 countries for five years, measuring happiness, health, meaning, relationships, financial stability and other dimensions of flourishing together.
