## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2017, January, Inc. operates as a developer of a digital metabolic health tracker that uses artificial intelligence for managing the chronic disease diabetes and its variants. The company was founded by Noosheen Hashemi and Dr. Michael Snyder to create a personalized approach to handling diabetes since the disease affects every patient differently. In June 2020, January.ai presented its algorithm at the 80th American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions that showed its in-house study of 1,022 participants that it effectively predicted individual glycemic responses to specific meals of people with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes stages. In February 2020, the company raised USD 8.8 million in seed funding.

The company’s team of research scientists and software engineers collaborates and develops the algorithm and the software used for the mobile application used to track the food and sugar intake of a diabetes patient. The metabolic health program, Season of Me, can be integrated with heart rate and glucose monitors to keep track of the food intake, its corresponding glycemic response, and spikes in the blood sugar for every food intake.

The company generates revenue by direct-to-consumer selling of its mobile application subscription service and its partnership with an undisclosed pharmaceutical company.

The company plans to be an AI partner with various coaching companies and accelerate sign-ups for its Season of Me health program.
