Caleb just filled his cart with probiotic foods after seeing posts on the importance of gut health on social media. After struggling with his health for years, Caleb is eager to take control of his own well-being, but what he doesn’t know is that health is dependent on many different factors, not just food.
The bacteria that live in our gut, also known as the gut microbiome, metabolises the food we eat and secretes molecules that can control how our immune system works. In addition to diet, the mechanism of health-to-disease transition is highly complex, involving many other environmental factors such as physical inactivity and work-related stress.
Combined, these factors lead to an overactive immune system and chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation causes multi-organ damage and promotes diseases such as obesity, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and brain disorders.
Therefore, improving gut health could lead to a decrease in chronic inflammation and slow down, or even stop, disease progression.
To better understand the effects of gut health, we will collect and analyse omics data from 12,500 participants using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Additionally, IMMEDIATE will conduct a trial in which the influence of beneficial bacteria on 200 healthcare professionals experiencing elevated stress levels will be directly assessed.
IMMEDIATE is developing a mobile app to give personalised lifestyle recommendations for each user, giving them information on how to better manage their physical and mental health.
Our goal is to provide valuable data and insights into citizens’ well-being and health status, allowing policymakers, healthcare professionals and individuals such as Caleb, to make informed decisions about their health and how to better allocate limited resources.
