About
Prevention as a Service™
In 2015, we realized that nearly every available Diabetes healthcare tool was focused on treatment— not prevention. Bio Conscious was born of a need to do things differently. It was clear to us that modern medicine had not kept up with modern technology. Now, using the power of intelligent algorithms, we are changing the way the world understands and manages chronic conditions, including Diabetes, by focusing on disease prevention.
Our first product, Diabits, demonstrated the power of foresight. It proved that we can transform Diabetes care and management by looking forward, not backward.
In 2019 we unveiled Endobits – the evolution of forward-looking decision-support. More powerful and significantly advanced from the original, Endobits has been proven in clinical pilots and proven to help patients increase time in range daily, improve their glucose variability up to 20%, and drop their HbA1c by 1%.

Leading the way with machine learning
Our methodology is based on machine learning technology. Our algorithms are able to analyze and model metabolic behavior in order to better calculate the most probable future metabolic outcome.
Glucose metabolism and helping patients manage diabetes has been our core focus—but this technology is applicable to conditions ranging from heart disease to hypertension, dementia, and so much more.
We’re striving to create a symphony of algorithms that work together to provide users with a complete picture of their overall health along with specific and actionable insights that help them live healthier for longer.
