Research shows that effective management of everyday lifestyle patterns around nutrition, physical activity, stress, and sleep can demonstrably improve one’s healthspan. And while wearable technology has evolved to measure daily activity & sleep, measuring the micronutrients that you are ingesting every day has not.

At Project Serotonin, we’ve pioneered an industry-first micronutrition tracking technology that accurately measures your daily supplement consumption. This along with a 360-degree wellness score helps you form a daily routine and track towards your health goals.

Our Wellness Score includes two main components to help you measure, achieve, and maintain your optimal health status.

1. Supplementation

We curate a stack of supplements that are right for you based on your genetics, health parameter readouts, health aspirations, and your BMI. We provide a flexible, manageable regimen for you to take your supplements regularly along with an auto-consumption tracking mechanism. The measure derived from this is the Supplementation Score that you see on the home screen of the Project Serotonin App. We also have a Smart Regimen feature to guide you with your supplementation every day.

Your wellness counts when you keep a score!

2. Lifestyle

The lifestyle score is a composite index of 3 key parameters:

Active Minutes, RHR & Sleep.

Active Minutes: As per international activity guidelines, 30 mins of “moderate intensity” activity (fat burn — heart rate zone) in a single continuous session, is set as a benchmark for you to achieve every day. Accordingly, we have a system of grading the daily physical activities that you perform as below:

>30 mins of activity: ideal zone (dark green)

20–30 mins of activity: intermediate zone (light green)

<20 mins of activity: poor zone (amber)

Resting Heart Rate (RHR): Resting heart rate is increasingly being considered as a key metric of cardiovascular fitness. The average RHR values for most healthy people lie between 60–80 bpm. However, being in a zone from 50 to 65 bpm is set as an optimal benchmark.

<= 64 beats/min: ideal zone (dark green)

65–84 beats/min: intermediate zone (light green)

>= 85 beats/min: poor zone (amber)

Sleep: Sleep deprivation has a negative impact on physical and mental health. As per a large body of scientific evidence, most adults should get 7–8 hrs of sleep everyday to optimize sleep-health benefits.

>7 hours: ideal zone (dark green)

6–7 hours: intermediate zone (light green)

<6 hours: poor zone (amber)

So, the Serotonin Wellness score is the sum total of your lifestyle habits, exercise, RHR, and the tracked consumption of your personalised supplement stack. One glance at the app home screen is enough to tell you what component you need to complete on that day, to get your 100 score!!

The Wellness Score has inspired a sense of purpose and personal accountability in our user community to make positive lifestyle changes, which have resulted in their greater well-being. It has certainly driven behavioural changes around nutrition, sleep, and exercise for the better. We’re happy and thrilled to see it becoming a catalyst in helping our users improve their overall health.
