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.
