Data Types Menu

At Alethios, we believe that meaningful human health data should be easy to collect, meaningful to analyze, and valuable to both researchers and participants.

Reported Data

Create custom instruments using rich participant-reported data

Alethios supports a wide range of participant inputs beyond just surveys. Whether you're designing a validated clinical instrument, measuring consumer perception, or building a media-rich feedback loop, our platform supports text, photo, video, and audio formats to power your research.

Format
How you can use it?
Text
Clinically validated instruments (e.g., PROMIS, PHQ-9, PSQI); consumer perception questionnaires; compliance checks; adherence and behavior logs (e.g., product use, diet, sleep)
Photo
Compliance confirmation (e.g., blood spot collection); selfies for skin/hair/nail changes; image analysis (e.g., facial redness, acne severity); product packaging or labeling review
Video
Participant testimonials; product usage walkthroughs; remote physical assessments; unboxing experiences or guided interactions
Audio
Voice analysis (e.g., vocal tone, energy levels); environmental sound tracking (e.g., sleep or noise exposure); spoken check-ins for accessibility; mood detection via vocal patterns
Generated Data

Participant Generated Health Data

Alethios integrates with wearables and sensors that provide rich objective data for your study. Use a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach or supply a device for your study - our platform supports both.

Enhance Your Study with At-Home Testing

Collect rigorous biomarker data using our available at-home testing modules or using your own lab.

Format
How you can use it?
Dried Blood Spot (DBS)
Track metabolic health (HbA1c, Glucose, Lipids); inflammation (hs-CRP); hormones (Testosterone, Cortisol); and nutrients (Vitamin D, Omega-3 Index)
Saliva Hormone Testing
Assess stress (Cortisol), sleep (Melatonin), and sex hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone) — especially for circadian or hormonal studies
Stool Microbiome Testing
Measure gut microbiome diversity, inflammation (calprotectin), digestive health, and short-chain fatty acids
Vaginal / Vulva Microbiome Swab
Understand intimate health and product impact on microbiome balance and inflammation
Skin Microbiome Swab
Analyze skin flora for acne, skin barrier health, or beauty-from-within studies
Nasal Swab
Profile the respiratory microbiome, virome, and local immune responses
Urine Hormone & Metabolite Panels
Deep hormone metabolite profiling (e.g., DUTCH test), hydration, detoxification
Genetic Testing (Saliva)
Stratify participants based on genetic traits or SNPs if relevant to your product or population
