This is an introduction to Nori, an app that connects all your health data so AI can provide personalized health insights on a daily basis. Built from the founder's own experience, its hallmark is the ability to consolidate data from multiple health apps and wearables into one place. It's a recommended solution for anyone looking to build new healthy habits more easily, especially iOS users.
1. Nori, Born from the Founder's Experience
Dave Zohrob starts the story by confessing that over six years of running a startup, he had no time to take care of his health and his body broke down. To recover, he spent six months managing his health with five different apps, spreadsheets, and calorie counting, but it was too cumbersome and time-consuming.
"I wrecked my body running a startup for six years, then spent six months obsessively trying to recover... using five different apps, spreadsheets, and counting every single calorie."
Just two weeks into starting a new company, he felt that managing his health was becoming another full-time job.
"Two weeks into starting the new company, I could feel it happening again. Staying healthy was becoming a second full-time job."
That's why he decided to build Nori -- to ease that burden.
2. What Kind of Service Is Nori?
Nori is an AI-powered health coach that brings all your health data together in one place. Specifically, it can integrate the following services and data:
- Apple Health
- Wearable devices like Oura, Whoop, Peloton, and Garmin
- Various nutrition/fitness apps
- Medical record apps like MyChart
- Blood test results from Function Health, Superpower, and more
Nori's AI analyzes all this collected information to provide personalized health insights and recommendations.
"All your health data in one place -- Apple Health, Oura, Whoop, Peloton, nutrition apps, Garmin, MyChart, Function Health blood tests -- all connected to your own personal health AI."
3. Who Is This For?
Nori primarily targets health-conscious people focused on weight loss, energy boost, and faster recovery, especially iOS users.
The team particularly emphasizes that it's a great fit for Apple Watch users and anyone who wants to build healthy habits with their wearable devices.
4. Real Health Data Examples from the Founder
Dave shares specific examples of how Nori helped him using his own data.
-
By scheduling rest days, his strength actually improved compared to when he was pushing through 6-7 workouts per week
"Adding rest days improved my strength compared to working out 6-7 times a week."
-
Taking magnesium before bed increased his REM sleep by 25%
"Taking magnesium before bed increased my REM sleep by 25%."
-
When he misses a workout, Nori immediately tells him how to adjust
"When I miss a workout, Nori tells me exactly how to make up for it."
The key here is that rather than simple 'tracking,' personalized feedback is provided immediately.
5. Team and Getting Started
The Nori team is led by experienced serial entrepreneurs, adding credibility.
- Co-founders Dave and Harish previously co-founded podcast analytics service Chartable (acquired by Spotify in 2022), and Harish co-founded hardware database Octopart (acquired in 2015).
"We're Dave and Harish. We were co-founders of Chartable, and Harish was the co-founder/CTO of Octopart."
Nori is currently available to those with an iPhone and wearable devices through an invite code (code: LAUNCHYC).
"Do you have a wearable and an iPhone and actually want to get healthier? Give it a try -- use invite code LAUNCHYC."
The team is especially looking for more Apple Watch users focused on weight loss or energy management, so if you're interested, it's worth trying out firsthand.
