‘How you doing?’ – probably the most repeated words. The irony about the answer to that question is that we seldom take a pause and answer it the right way. We at BVOY, want to change that, we are working to equip everyone with a ‘thermometer for stress’. Using the latest in data science and well-established physiological models, we derive deep insights into your overall health.

BVOY is an acronym for Better Version Of You. We believe that you and your loved ones deserve a better and beautiful version of you. Based in Sydney, Australia we are tech, data and health enthusiasts who aim to change the world for good. 

Our Purpose

Like millions around us, our mental health was severely impacted during the pandemic. Founded as a showcase project at MIT, we interviewed over a hundred people on what stress and mental health meant to them. To our surprise the biggest challenge we uncovered that a person is usually the last to know they are dealing with stress.

There are no metrics or scales that tell us how stressed we are feeling at the moment. That the grip of chronic stress is tightening around us. 

Couple that insight with the fact that Dementia is a major cause of death especially in the western world (Dementia was the second largest cause of death in Australia), and we knew we had to do something about it.

Backed by those insights and a deep passion to bring a positive change in the world around us we started building BVOY, Better Version Of You.

Our Approach

We like to tackle the issue of health more holistically. Our data scientists and Physiologists categorised the various health metrics captured by Apple Health into Mind, Heart and Body functions. Most fitness apps are focused on reporting physical health, and miss out on the equally important mental health opportunities.

We went a step further and split cardiac (heart) health as a function in our app. Heart performance sits right in-between mental and physical health and it made perfect sense for us to report Heart score on an ongoing basis.
