Improving our Health goes way beyond tracking our movements. It is a complex equation made of different variables:

One X understands how your lifestyle variables impact your body, by measuring your skin antioxidant level change, instantly from the palm of your hand:

Skin carotenoids are critical skin antioxidant molecules. Their status positively or negatively changes in response to your different lifestyle habits: Nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress, alcohol, pollution, and sun exposure. 

With One X, you can live a healthier lifestyle by finding the right balance that optimizes your skin antioxidant level.

One X is the first realtime Nutritional Biosensor since skin carotenoids are the best biomarkers of fruits / vegetables consumption and healthy diet. (Carotenoids are ubiquitous fruit and vegetable pigment antioxidant molecules)

You are not what you eat but what your body absorbs

How do you know if your diet is truly optimal and balanced to ensure maximal nutrient bioavailability, so critical to your wellbeing ? One X brings you the answer: for the first time, you can measure the effect of eating well on your body and stop relying on an archaic “feeling good”. 

Since skin carotenoids accumulate in the skin, they reflect what your body effectively absorbs and actually stores.

Your skin is a bridge between your internal metabolism and external environment,

As such, your skin carotenoids antioxidant level can change in response to all of your lifestyle habits.

By tracking your One X score,  you get a direct biofeedback on how your body responds to your everyday habits. Manage your lifestyle through a single and powerful metric you can directly measure, track and improve:

High skin carotenoids levels are also associated with skin health, better quality / elasticity and higher attractiveness 

An increasing number of studies have associated carotenoids level with lower risk to develop major health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, certain types of cancer, neurodegenerative conditions or even metabolic issues such as diabetes and obesity (Check the scientific studies). Carotenoids level is also strongly related to aging  and skin quality. Since most of these health conditions are “lifestyle-born” diseases, it is not astonishing to also see a strong connection between your lifestyle habits and your carotenoids level ("carotenoids kinetics"). This is exactly what One X tracks for you by the measuring the concentration of your skin carotenoids.

Reflection Spectroscopy supersedes the previously bulky laboratory-used method based on Raman Spectroscopy in terms of cost (2% of current pricing) and precision (R=0.90 correlation), hence, finally making it directly available to consumers.

One X prototype has undergone rigorous testing of reliability and durability, and the time between now and shipping will be mostly spent on fine-tuning the final design, software and user experience.

Prototyping and calibration work inside the Lab

Our team has worked hard for over two years. We are past the prototyping phase and already focusing on mass production capability. We manufacture One X in Austria, in one of the most advanced optomechatronics manufacturing locations in the world, close to our main R&D site in Germany. 

Our manufacturing process ensures maximal speed, rapid improvements and premium production quality.

One X features a rounded and sleek design as well as the most advanced optical sensors available to consumers today. 

We’ve been through dozens of design options to reach a texture and shape that perfectly fits the convex area of your palm and limits excess light, noise and palm pressure, ensuring optimal scan accuracy.

Ergonomical & Sleek

Small & Portable. Take me anywhere.

Now, it's your turn

We created One X with the vision to empower you to take back control of your health. With One X, you can quickly see how your lifestyle impact your body.

In order to reach as many people as possible, we made sure One X is an affordable, non-invasive, and easy-to-use device.

FAQ

Where can I learn more about the Science behind One X and skin carotenoid status ?

If you want to get more infos, we have prepared a comprehensive review of carotenoid status in human and its non-invasive assessment. You can access it here

Also check the different scientific papers linked on One X / Science

Any other question, feel free to contact us: contact@one-x.co

Is One X a medical device ?

One X is a non-invasive, safe consumer device using low emission LEDs. At such One X is non-required to go under FDA approval. One X is not intended to be used as a medical device ("General Wellness" device - cf FDA guidance). CE (Europe) and FCC (US) certifications will be sought once manufacturing starts

What languages are available on One X app ?

English / Spanish / French / Portuguese / German languages will be available

How many persons can use One X sensor ?

Each One X sensor syncs up to 5 different accounts. So everyone at home can use it and track their change from their own personal profile. 

What does One X score mean ?

One X score is a measure of your skin carotenoid level in nmol of carotenoids per gram of skin. For example 50% means a 0.5 nmol concentration.

Your carotenoid score actually reflects how healthy your diet and other lifestyle habits are since each of your habits (nutrition, stress, alcohol, exercise, sun, sleep, pollution) can increase or deplete your carotenoid status.

The underlying depletion / repletion mechanism is due to the oxidative stress balance. (Learn more in this video and in this blog post)

What about warranty ?

One X is manufactured in a leading European optical and medical electronics facility. We offer one year warranty on each One X device.

What are the key risks and challenges ?

Considering that One X combines both hardware and software, we acknowledge the scheduling risks associated with manufacturing, supply chain logistics and algorithm development that are involved in the production of our device.

We have already realized several industrial workshops and are well-advanced in the manufacturing process with a top-tier European optomechatronics leader. Our R&D team is located at less than one-hour time flight from their facilities which ensures efficient iteration in the device calibration, engineering and production. 

Renderings shown in video and on the wall represent our vision of the product. Incremental changes / improvements in design and tech specs are always a possibility but will only be enacted bearing optimal backer UX and utility in mind.
