Nice overview! I like the visualization, I just think that the great opportunity in healthtech right now is to make the "general population" way more conscious and aware of their behaviour. I agree that most healthtech wearables, like Whoop and Oura, are targeted towards the healthy population that already had the basics under control. But to change behaviour, you need to be aware of that behaviour first, and I think that is something healthtech could play a big role in! So the pyramid might become a circle soon :).
Ooh I'm very curious! Would love to hear more about it once you're ready to share. I am working on an AI based tool to help the general population understand the relationship between their diet and gut health, I will also be sharing more about this soon!
Great article Ricky. I can definitely sign under the overriding tenet of your approach as well as the majority of details. And I wish I had thought of the pyramid myself!
Thank you Mate - I first came across Maslow's pyramid several years back and then last year while writing my book it came to me that a hierarchy is also applicable to metabolic health and so I started thinking it through and eventually settled on this "Biology -First" principle and formulated my hierarchy 😁

If you're interested, I write about nutrition, gut health and how AI can help us optimize our health; https://maudkarstenberg.substack.com/p/tech-driven-nutrition-using-chatgpt?r=5jzxka
Thanks and I agree - in fact, I am working on something related but it's being kept close to my chest for the time being ;)
