Overview
Mission
Phenome health's mission is to develop the tools & insights that power data-driven personalized health. We envision a world where everyone is empowered by their own data to improve wellness and prevent disease.
What it reported doing in 2025
Predictive modeling. We continued the past years efforts to build computational models and the required bioinformatic pipelines for the purpose of modeling health trajectories for individuals given personal health data as inputs to models. All data are deidentified with no access to phi or pii by personnel working on the modeling efforts. In 2025, we added access to more public databases to inform our models as deliverables for our current federally funded projects.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
