What Is a Continuous Glucose Monitor, and What Can It Add to Your Study?

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small wearable device that collects real-time blood sugar data continuously, rather than at a single point in time with a finger prick. CGMs are often thought of as a management tool for Type 1 diabetes, but the data they generate—glucose levels and glycemic variability over time—is relevant well beyond diabetes care. For researchers, a CGM offers a direct window into metabolic and digestive outcomes that individual blood tests cannot.

Why We're Doing a Private Beta for Pet Heath Studies

Accessible health research shouldn't just be for people — it should work just as well for their four-legged friends. That's why Alethios is bringing the same rigor and precision behind our human health studies to pet health research.

Adherence Automation Part 3: Milestones

Adherence isn't a single number you tally at the end of a study — it's earned week by week. Milestones let researchers break a study into checkpoints, each with its own adherence criteria and compensation, so participants always know what they're working toward and researchers always know who's on track.

How to Add Heart Rate Variability to a Health Research Study

Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the most sensitive physiological endpoints available in wearable-based research — a direct window into autonomic nervous system balance, recovery, and stress. This post explains why HRV is commonly included in health studies, when it's appropriate, how to configure it in Alethios, and what researchers receive once a study is live — including key differences in how devices sample and report HRV that every researcher should know before designing their study.

How to Run a Structured Off-Label Study for a Longevity Intervention Using Alethios

The longevity market moves fast. The evidence base often doesn't. This post covers how practitioners, researchers, and longevity innovators can use Alethios to run structured off-label observational studies — generating real-world data on compounds and protocols where formal clinical evidence is thin.

How to Start Collecting Structured Data on Your Health Product

Part 3 of this series covers what happens once your study is live: what participants experience, what data you receive, and what you can actually do with it — from claims substantiation to investor conversations to powering your next study. This is where structured beats anecdotal.
