Director Of Engineering

Founded by veteran business executive, Noosheen Hashemi, and Director of Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, Dr. Michael Snyder, January AI is the first "precision health" company that combines continuous glucose monitoring along with heart rate, sleep, activity and food tracking, to enable you to see the impact of your diet and exercise on your body in real-time.

We help you understand your personal metabolic health, giving you visibility into how your body metabolizes food, and guiding you towards simple changes to avoid serious health issues later in life. The need for this has never been greater: 1 in 3 adults in the US are now pre-diabetic, and 80% are not even aware of it. January's app gives you immediate insights about your diet and blood sugar levels--all without sensors!.

At January AI, we believe that every day is January 1st, with the fresh start that comes with the new year.

January AI is backed by Marc Benioff (CEO and founder of Salesforce), Jerry Yang (founder of Yahoo!), and Steve Chen (founder of YouTube), among others.
