Tri-layer Testing Protocol
We don't just look at one part of you. We look at the whole system. Gaining cellular-level insights into your gut microbiome and metabolism, merged with your lifestyle data, to understand how your body digests, defends, and performs for you to take targeted action to optimise your health and vitality.
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses known as the gut microbiome. This microbial community influences everything from digestion, immunity and cognitive function, to mood and energy levels.
If metagenomics shows what your microbes could do, metabolomics tells us what they, and your body's cells, are actually doing right now. Metabolomics is the study of metabolites—small molecules involved in your metabolism.
Your daily choices significantly shape your microbiome and metabolism. Our algorithm analyses these sleep, activity, diet, stress, clinical and hereditary factors to provide precise, actionable recommendations.
Why is this possible now?
Four technological shifts have allowed us to bring clinical-grade science out of the lab and into your hands.
The cost of sequencing "omics" data has dropped from millions to accessible prices, allowing us to map your biology in unprecedented detail.
Multi-omics generates gigabytes of data. We securely store and process this dynamic health record in the cloud, evolving as you do.
Our AI finds hidden correlations between your gut bacteria, your blood metabolites, and your symptoms—patterns the human brain alone cannot see.
Testing technology and processes have dramatically improved. You can now capture your own samples and return them to our labs via the post.
Dr. Andrew O'Brien
Executive Chairman & Co-Founder
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Andrew advised some of the foundational companies in precision health, including Celera Genomics (the Human Genome project), deCODE Genetics (pioneers in population-scale gene discovery), and Amersham Biosciences (creators of essential gene/ DNA sequencing tools).
"I recall it took almost 15 years and nearly $3 billion to complete the first human genome.
Today, we can do it in 10 weeks for $1,000. This massive shift means we can finally offer what was once a billion-dollar research tool, directly to consumers to test themselves and manage their health, in the comfort of their own home."
Ethical Use of AI
Every recommendation, report and contraindication is carefully reviewed by our team of accredited dietitians to ensure accuracy, safety, and relevance, before it is released to a member of our subscriber community.
We believe AI is a powerful tool, but it's our human expertise that ensures your health recommendations are truly personalised and responsibly delivered.
vivaLAB is also a member of Australian Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAAiH) and the Australian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH). Both Peak Bodies are actively debating and responsible for creating and influencing the ethical implementation of AI in healthcare service delivery and data management.
Our approach is not just theoretical; it's backed by a growing body of clinical research demonstrating that personalised, data-driven nutrition derived from multi-omcs testing leads to significant health improvements.
Improved Clinical Outcomes
Studies show that AI-powered precision nutrition recommendations from individual molecular data from multi-omics testing, can lead to significant improvements in chronic conditions.
A 2021 study published in bioRxiv found that data-driven personalised recommendations resulted in delivering improvements in:
36%
40%
38%
Data-driven precision nutrition improves clinical outcomes... (bioRxiv, 2021)
Better Metabolic Health
Multi-omics testing informing data-driven precision nutrition, is highly effective for managing metabolic health. Research has demonstrated that tailored dietary advice can significantly reduce the risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes and obesity.
A review in Springer Nature highlighted that precision nutrition markedly improves these risk factors by accounting for individual genetics, lifestyle, and gut microbiome interactions.

A Foundation for Longevity
The future of healthy aging is personal and determined at a molecular level. Research from the UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health emphasises that to extend not just lifespan but healthspan, we must move beyond 'one-size-fits-all' advice.
By analysing an individual's unique 'omics' data (genomics, metabolomics, microbiomics), data-driven personalised nutrition holds the potential to optimise quality of life and promote healthy longevity.
