General

GATOR (Global AI Tracker for Optimal Results) is a personal health intelligence platform that consolidates data from 14+ sources — wearables like Garmin, Oura, Eight Sleep, Fitbit, Withings, Polar, and Strava, plus lab providers like Function Health, LabCorp, Rythm Health, and InsideTracker — into a unified dashboard with AI-powered insights, clinical ratios, anomaly detection, and trend analysis.

GATOR offers a free tier that includes unlimited device connections, basic health score, and access to all 8 dashboard tabs. The Intelligence plan ($6.99/mo) adds AI Coach, unlimited lab imports, predictive alerts, correlations, readiness engine, and more.

Whoop, Oura, and Apple Health each show data from their own device. GATOR aggregates data across all your devices AND your lab work into one view. It calculates 17 clinical ratios (like TG/HDL, HOMA-IR, FT3/RT3, ApoB/LDL-P), runs anomaly detection across 11 metrics, generates AI insights by analyzing your complete health picture, and lets you track 100+ biomarkers over time. No single-device app can do this.

Wearables: Garmin Connect, Oura Ring, Eight Sleep, Fitbit, Withings, Polar, Strava, Apple Health (iOS), and Google Health Connect (Android). Lab providers: Function Health, LabCorp, Rythm Health, and InsideTracker via PDF import with 200+ lab name normalization variants. Medical devices: BIOTRONIK, Medtronic, Abbott, and Boston Scientific cardiac device reports.

Both. The web dashboard at healthgator.ai works on any browser. Native iOS and Android apps are available for on-the-go access, HealthKit/Health Connect syncing, push notifications, and home screen widgets showing your health score.

Anyone who tracks their health across multiple devices or lab providers and wants a single source of truth. GATOR is especially useful for biohackers, preventive health enthusiasts, patients managing chronic conditions, and anyone who gets regular bloodwork and wants to see how their lab results correlate with their daily metrics.

Account & Authentication

Sign up with Google OAuth (one click) or with an email and password. No credit card required for the free tier. Your account is created instantly and you can start connecting devices immediately.

Yes. GATOR supports read-only family sharing. You can invite up to 5 family members by email. They can view your dashboard, labs, and trends but cannot modify your data. Each person maintains their own separate account and data.

GATOR uses Google OAuth or email/password authentication with database-backed sessions. All OAuth tokens for connected devices are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The platform enforces Row Level Security (RLS) across all 28+ database tables, ensuring your data is cryptographically isolated from other users.

Yes. Go to Settings and scroll to the Danger Zone section at the bottom. Click Delete My Account, review the list of data that will be removed (lab results, wearable metrics, activities, AI insights, goals, supplements, device connections, family shares, feedback, and video reports), then type DELETE to confirm. This permanently removes your entire GATOR account and all associated data. You'll be signed out immediately. This cannot be undone — you'd need to create a new account and re-upload everything to use GATOR again. You can also download your data first using the Download My Data button above the Danger Zone.

Integrations & Devices

Go to the Settings page and select the device you want to connect. For OAuth-based integrations (Fitbit, Eight Sleep, Withings, Polar, Strava), you'll be redirected to authorize access. For Garmin, enter your Garmin Connect credentials. For Oura, paste your Personal Access Token from the Oura developer portal. Apple Health and Google Health Connect sync through the native mobile app.

GATOR syncs all connected providers automatically once daily via a scheduled job. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the Wearables tab. The mobile app syncs HealthKit/Health Connect data on app launch and periodically in the background.

GATOR handles multi-device data gracefully. Each provider writes to its own prefixed columns (e.g., garmin_steps, oura_hrv, fitbit_resting_hr), so no data overwrites. The dashboard coalesces values with a priority chain — if you have both Garmin and Oura HRV, it prefers Oura for sleep metrics and Garmin for activity metrics.

Yes. Go to Settings, find the connected integration, and click Disconnect. You'll be asked to choose between two options: Disconnect Only (stop syncing but keep your historical data for trends and analysis) or Disconnect & Delete Data (stop syncing AND permanently remove all data from that device). Either way, data from your other connected devices is unaffected.

When you disconnect a device, GATOR gives you two options. "Disconnect Only" stops future syncing but keeps your historical data from that device — useful if you want to preserve trends and correlations. "Disconnect & Delete Data" stops syncing AND permanently removes all historical data from that specific device, including daily metrics and activities. The second option requires typing the device name to confirm. Either way, data from your other connected devices is not affected.

If your device syncs to Apple Health (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android), GATOR can pull that data through the mobile app. This covers hundreds of devices indirectly — Whoop, Samsung, Amazfit, Coros, and more. For direct API integrations, new providers are added regularly based on user requests.

When you connect multiple devices, GATOR picks the most accurate source for each metric on your Home tab. For example, Garmin is preferred for sleep score and HRV because it combines accelerometer, HRV, and SpO2 data. Oura is second for HRV due to its clean overnight finger-artery signal. You can always view any specific device's data using the source selector on the Wearables tab. See the full priority rules in our Data Source Guide at Dashboard → Help → Data Sources.

Lab Data & Biomarkers

GATOR imports lab results from Function Health, LabCorp, Rythm Health, and InsideTracker via PDF upload. The system normalizes 200+ lab name variants (e.g., "Hemoglobin A1c", "HbA1c", "Glycated Hemoglobin" all map to the same biomarker) so your results are consistent regardless of which lab ran the test.

Upload a PDF or screenshot of your lab report. GATOR uses Claude AI to extract biomarker names, values, units, and reference ranges, then normalizes everything into a consistent format. You review the extracted data before confirming. Results appear in the Labs tab as a matrix showing all biomarkers across all test dates.

GATOR calculates 17 clinical ratios from your lab data — including TG/HDL (cardiovascular risk), HOMA-IR (insulin resistance), ApoB/ApoA1 (atherogenic risk), FT3/RT3 (thyroid function), BUN/Creatinine (kidney function), and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (inflammation). These ratios often reveal health patterns that individual biomarkers miss.

Each biomarker is classified as Normal, High, or Low based on laboratory reference ranges included in your report. You can also set custom reference ranges (functional medicine or standard medical presets, or your own doctor-recommended ranges) that override the defaults for personalized status tracking.

GATOR shows your values against standard reference ranges and supports functional medicine ranges (tighter optimal bounds used by integrative practitioners). The Trends tab lets you chart any biomarker over time to see your personal trajectory, and the AI Insights tab analyzes your results in context.

Dashboard & Features

The dashboard has 8 tabs: Home (daily snapshot, health score, attention alerts), Wearables (daily metrics, anomaly detection, activity history), Labs (biomarker matrix, ratios, AI insights), Devices (cardiac device monitoring), Trends (interactive time-series charts), Goals (health targets with progress tracking), Rx & Supps (supplement and medication logging), and Coach (AI health coaching).

The AI Coach is a conversational health assistant powered by Claude that has full context of your labs, wearables, goals, and health history. Ask it questions like "Why is my HRV trending down?" or "What supplements might help my iron levels?" It adapts its guidance based on your readiness score — suggesting rest on recovery days and intensity on high-readiness days.

The Correlation Engine uses Spearman rank correlation to analyze 26 metric pairs from your daily data — finding relationships between sleep and HRV, activity and resting heart rate, bed temperature and sleep quality, and more. It surfaces statistically significant correlations so you can understand what actually moves the needle for your health.

GATOR continuously compares your 7-day rolling averages against 23-day baselines across 11 key metrics (HRV, resting HR, sleep duration, steps, and more). When a metric deviates by more than 10% or shows a 3+ day streak, it flags a Health Alert on your Wearables tab. This catches emerging trends before they become problems.

The Devices tab is for cardiac device monitoring — pacemakers, ICDs, and implantable loop recorders. Upload your remote monitoring PDF report (BIOTRONIK, Medtronic, Abbott, or Boston Scientific) and GATOR extracts 25+ metrics including battery status, lead impedances, pacing percentages, AF burden, and arrhythmia episodes. It tracks trends across transmissions and flags clinical alerts.

Data & Privacy

All data is stored in Supabase (hosted PostgreSQL) with Row Level Security (RLS) enforced at the database level. OAuth tokens for connected devices are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage. The platform uses 28+ tables with strict user isolation — every query is filtered by your user ID at both the application and database layers.

GATOR implements defense-in-depth isolation: database-level RLS policies enforce that every SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operation is scoped to your user ID. Application-level middleware verifies authentication on every API request. Even if application code had a bug, the database layer independently prevents cross-user data access.

No. GATOR never sells, shares, or monetizes your health data. Your data is used exclusively to power your personal dashboard and AI insights. GATOR's revenue comes from subscription plans, not data brokerage. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Yes. You can use GATOR with just lab data — upload PDFs from any supported lab provider and use the full Labs tab, clinical ratios, trend charts, and AI insights. You can also manually enter lab results. The wearable integrations are optional and can be added at any time.

AI & Intelligence

GATOR uses Anthropic's Claude models. Haiku handles insights, lab summaries, and alert narratives (optimized for speed and cost). Sonnet powers the AI Coach conversations and device PDF extraction (optimized for depth and accuracy). All AI calls go through a 5-step pipeline with caching, rate limiting, and budget control.

AI insights are generated from your actual health data — lab values, reference ranges, daily metrics, and trends. The system includes medical disclaimers and always recommends consulting a healthcare provider for clinical decisions. Insights are most valuable for spotting patterns across data sources that would be tedious to analyze manually.

No. GATOR's AI is an informational tool, not a medical device. It identifies trends, flags anomalies, and explains what your data shows — but it does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace professional medical advice. Every AI response includes a disclaimer recommending you consult your healthcare provider.

Mobile App

Yes. The GATOR iOS app is available on the App Store. It provides native HealthKit integration, push notifications for health alerts, a home screen widget showing your health score and key metrics, and offline access to cached data. The app syncs with the same account you use on the web.

Yes. The GATOR Android app is available on Google Play. It integrates with Google Health Connect for syncing data from Samsung Health, Pixel Watch, and other Android health sources. It includes push notifications, a Glance widget, and offline caching via MMKV.

Yes. The web dashboard at healthgator.ai is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any mobile browser. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience. The native apps add HealthKit/Health Connect syncing, push notifications, and widgets — but all dashboard features are available via the browser.

Health Score

Your Health Score needs data from at least 3 of 7 health pillars (Sleep, Cardiovascular, Metabolic, Training, Inflammation, Nutrition, Glucose), 7+ days of wearable data, and at least one lab draw to generate a full score. While calibrating, you'll see which pillars have data and which need more. Connect additional devices or upload lab results to unlock your complete score.

GATOR calculates your Health Score across 7 pillars: Sleep (25%), Cardiovascular (20%), Metabolic (20%), Training (10%), Inflammation (5%), Nutrition (10%), and Glucose (10%). Each pillar uses both wearable metrics and lab biomarkers when available. If a pillar has no data, its weight is redistributed proportionally across the active pillars, so your score is always based on the best data available.

Pricing

GATOR has two tiers: Free (unlimited device connections, basic health score, and all 8 dashboard tabs) and Intelligence at $6.99/month (adds AI Coach, unlimited lab imports, predictive alerts, readiness engine, correlations, and advanced analytics). Annual billing is $49.99/year (save 40%).

Yes. The free tier includes all 8 dashboard tabs, unlimited device connections, basic health score, trends summary, and the mobile app. The Intelligence plan ($6.99/mo) adds AI Coach, unlimited lab imports, readiness engine, predictive alerts, and correlations.
