- GDPR-compliant architecture with encrypted DNA storage
The Problem
Over 50 million people worldwide have raw DNA data from consumer testing services, yet no responsible tool exists to extract actionable athletic training insights from this data. The market is split between services that offer nothing useful and those that make irresponsible claims about "sprinter genes" or genetic destiny. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts deserve science-backed analysis that respects both the power and limitations of genomics.
Our Approach
GENS employs a rigorous 8-step bioinformatics pipeline that transforms raw DNA uploads into calibrated trait profiles. The system ingests data from major consumer testing formats, performs institutional-grade quality control, harmonizes variants against reference builds, and calculates polygenic scores using peer-reviewed scoring files from the PGS Catalog. Every score includes full provenance — variant coverage, confidence levels, evidence grades, and ancestry transferability notes.
Trait Profiling
The platform analyzes five scientifically validated performance traits: aerobic capacity potential, strength and power predisposition, tendon and ligament integrity markers, recovery and chronotype patterns, and body composition tendencies. Each trait is calibrated to percentile rankings using large-scale population biobanks, ensuring results are grounded in statistical reality rather than marketing hype.
Actionable Output
Unlike competitors that stop at raw percentiles, GENS generates customized 8-week training protocols derived from trait analysis. These include modality adjustments, recovery schedules, environmental recommendations, and nutritional guidance. Caution flags identify elevated injury risk markers with prehabilitation suggestions — framed as awareness tools, never as restrictions or diagnoses.
Ethical Design
GENS is built with mandatory ethical guardrails. The platform enforces 18+ age gates, presents non-skippable disclaimers, and explicitly avoids sport selection or deterministic claims. All copy passes automated CI checks for forbidden terminology. DNA data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest and the architecture is fully GDPR-compliant with right-to-deletion support and 12-month maximum retention.
Market Opportunity
The intersection of consumer genomics (50M+ users) and personalized training ($10B+ market) represents a massive underserved opportunity. GENS positions itself as the responsible, science-first player in a space currently dominated by either silence or irresponsible marketing — creating a sustainable competitive moat built on trust and scientific rigor.
