Your body has been keeping notes all along.

Somewhere on the way to data-driven health, we decided the things that mattered were the things your watch could see. Steps. Sleep stages. Spo₂. A tidy green ring at the end of each day.

But the body is louder than any of those. “Coffee makes me need to go within fifteen minutes, but only if I haven't eaten.” “My knee knows when it's going to rain.” “Three days of dairy and my chin breaks out.”

None of these sentences has ever been captured by a sensor. All of them are true to the person speaking. All of them run in families. Most of them get forgotten before the next generation thinks to ask.

DB.Life is a wiki for that second kind of health data. Patterns you observe in your own body, written in your own words, kept in a place that outlives devices, apps, and — if you choose — you.

We built this because a grandmother on one of our sides wrote things on scraps of paper her whole life about what she noticed in her body. When she passed, her grandchildren found the papers. Some of those notes described patterns our family still carries. Written down, but barely in time.

We want no more scraps of paper.
