What Nori does

Nori is a concierge-level AI health coach in your pocket. It takes all of your health data - Apple Health, medical records, wearables, everything - and boils it down into a personalized daily plan. Users love it: “It's truly one of the best apps and I check it first every day. Since using Nori, I've been limiting devices in bed and eating earlier - and I'll be damned if it's not working... I started getting more deep sleep, my resting HR dropped to 43, my recovery improved.” - Jen, Nori user"
