Find answers to common questions about HQI
What is HQI?
HQI stands for Health. Quantified and Improved. We are a community dedicated to enhancing the foundational health and wellbeing of our members through evidence-based strategies and tools. Our mission is to help people transform their lives and societies by enabling them to live Life On Purpose.
How did HQI start?
In 2015, a few of us started tracking our physical health using phones, watches, and other gadgets and tests. We discovered that while we found useful insights about our health, increased understanding often didn't lead to significant change. This led us to explore our goals, motivations, habits, and feelings to better align what we know we should do with what we actually do.
What are our focus areas to help you live Life on Purpose?
- Physical Health
- Effective ways to build our physical health and reserve
- Emotional Wellbeing
- Learning how to feel good about ourselves more of the time
- Defining Purpose
- Gaining clarity over what we aspire to, for ourselves, our families, friends, businesses, and communities
- Daily Intentions
- Simple practices to bring attention to those things we have decided to focus on

Whether you're an expert in functional medicine, sports and fitness, nutrition, psychology, machine learning, large-language models, finance, or simply someone interested in improving your health, please contact us to learn more about how you can participate.
What services does HQI offer?
We have built a framework of insights and actionable possibilities that, with some time and attention, can make a significant difference to both short and long-term health and wellbeing. Our services include personalized health tracking, educational resources, and community support designed to help you live a healthy life on purpose.
Is HQI a for-profit organization?
Yes, HQI operates as a for-profit organization. We believe that generating profit is essential for scaling our services to benefit the maximum number of people. It also indicates that we are developing products that our members want to buy and engage with over time, and that we are running an efficient and effective business.
How does HQI ensure the effectiveness of its strategies?
Our collective efforts have involved thousands of hours of research and practice. We continuously stay updated with the latest scientific literature and best practices to refine our framework and ensure its effectiveness. We have scoured the internet, scientific literature, and the best ideas of the wisest minds to build a framework that works in your service.
What makes HQI different from other organizations?
We focus on the gap between knowing what we should do for our health and actually doing it. Our approach puts you in the center and only uses technology when it supports you acheving your goals.
