LifeNome recently launched a precision nutrition pregnancy platform called 9Moons. The company said the platform was in response to pregnant women’s needs to meet their unique prenatal nutritional needs and diet-related pregnancy complications, which have increased in recent years.
“Every life begins with pregnancy, and research has shown that diet during pregnancy has a significant impact on maternal health and pregnancy outcomes, as well as a lifelong impact on a child’s health and wellbeing. Every pregnancy is unique based on a person’s biology, physiology and lifestyle, and our goal with the 9Moons platform was to deliver evidence-based and hyper-personalized nutrition, “said Ali Mostashari, PhD, CEO of LifeNome.
The 9Moons platform includes personalized daily and weekly meal plans, a selection of more than 1000 recipes that can be tailored to the individual nutritional needs and preferences of each user, micro- and macronutrient tracking, personalized recommendations based on each trimester and the ability to Chat with gynecologists and nutritionists who can provide direct support and answer questions. The platform also allows other users such as spouses to participate, making it an experience for the whole family. After the baby is born, users can track their child’s diet for the first 24 months.
In addition to pregnancy, the platform also plans to target two other unique populations: puberty and menopause.
“That’s just on the women’s health side. We are also active in other areas of personalized nutrition for chronic diseases, we are working on personalized fitness, we are working on personalized beauty and all of this is based on the same science of understanding how the body processes different ingredients, how different the body’s needs are about different biological areas, ”explained Mostashari. “We basically have the vision to be the personalization engine of the planet.”
