Sources & Methodology
How Flura's AI works, where our health information comes from, and what we don't do.
How Flura's AI insights work
Flura's AI-powered insights are generated by analysing patterns in your own logged data — not from external medical databases or general population statistics.
When you log symptoms, energy, mood, sleep, and medications each day, Flura's AI looks for patterns specific to you: whether your pain is worse on certain days of the week, whether sleep quality correlates with next-day fatigue, whether your symptoms cluster around a particular point in your cycle.
These insights are observations about your personal data. They are not diagnoses, and they are not medical recommendations. Every insight is framed as a pattern to discuss with your doctor.
