The Loop Score

The only wearable that has to keep up with you.

Your body in July is not your body in January. Training changes it. Illness changes it. A hard quarter changes it. Every other wearable measures you against a model it finished building before it met you.

nomad rebuilds its model of you continuously. The Loop Score, out of 100, is how you check it’s keeping up.

It is not a score of you. It is a score of nomad.

The objection, answered first

Every other score judges you.

This one reports back.

Recovery scores and readiness scores mark you out of 100 and fall on your worst weeks, which is precisely when you least need marking. They tell you what you already know: that you slept badly and feel rough.

The Loop Score measures something you cannot know on your own. It measures how well nomad has learned your nervous system, and therefore how well it can answer it. You are not the subject of the number. You are the examiner.

A person wearing nomad

How it’s built

Three things, one score.

Developed with autonomic neuroscientists at UCL and UC San Diego.

Signal

How much of your life nomad has seen. Sleep, training, deadlines, travel, recovery.

More than 100 hours of your signal by the end of week one.

Model

How precisely nomad predicts your state. Your stress signature, not the average person's.

By week three, the model of you is 40% tighter than the population baseline it shipped with.

Response

How reliably nomad's interventions move your nervous system. Measured every time it acts, around 30 times a day, and fed straight back into the model.

nomad knows within 60 seconds whether a response landed.

Signal feeds the model. The model sharpens the response. The response earns more signal.

Your score is how tightly that loop has closed.

Figures are illustrative: the Loop Score is in active development with our clinical partners.

The drop

It can go down. That is the point.

Take three weeks off. Start a new block. Come back from illness. Your score falls.

Read that correctly. Nothing is wrong with you. nomad has gone out of date.

Every model of a living body decays, because the body moves. Most wearables hide the decay and keep reporting a number they can no longer justify. nomad shows you the decay, then closes the gap.

A week away costs roughly 8 points. It takes about 3 days of wear to earn them back.

A score that only ever climbs is a trophy. This one is an instrument.

The fleet

Your day one is everyone else’s head start.

nomad has never met you. It has met ten thousand nervous systems, and every one of them raised the baseline yours starts from. The floor under a new nomad today is higher than it was last quarter, and it will be higher again by the time yours arrives.

The fit is yours alone.

Your raw signal is processed on your device, and the model of you lives there. What travels to the cloud is anonymised, with nothing that can identify you, and it improves the shared models every nomad starts from. Your data is never sold, ever.

The floor rises for everyone. The fit is yours.

The climb

Watch the loop close.

The longer you wear it, the better it works. Keep scrolling. This is what climbing feels like.

85loop score

Day one · First open

nomad runs on the population baseline.

A good guess. Not your body.

Loop 30 · Around day ten

nomad has your baseline.

It stops comparing you to the average person and starts comparing you to you.

Loop 60 · Around week three

nomad has your signature.

Your sleep architecture, your stress patterns, your recovery curve. Responses land at the right moment, not just the right day.

Loop 85 · Around month three

nomad is ahead of you.

It sees the stress building about 60 seconds before you feel it, and answers it before it takes hold. You push harder, because it’s already covering you.

In the app

Where it’s won or lost.

This page argues the case. These messages arrive at the moment you decide whether this thing judges you or works for you. The subject of every sentence is nomad.

First open, day one

Loop 10. nomad doesn’t know you yet.

It’s running on ten thousand other nervous systems until it learns yours.

After time away

nomad has fallen behind you.

12 days without signal. Your model is out of date. Wear it and it’ll catch up in about 4 days.

After a body change

Your body has moved. nomad hasn’t yet.

Something changed in your signal that the model didn’t predict. It’s rebuilding. 3 days.

When it can’t explain

nomad is out of date and can’t tell you why yet.

Its predictions stopped matching your body 2 days ago. It’s working on it.

Climbing

Loop 62. Up 4 this week.

nomad predicted your evening wind-down correctly 5 times out of 6.

Crossing 85

Loop 85. nomad is ahead of you.

It now sees stress building about 60 seconds before you feel it.

FAQ

The questions worth asking.

For you, no. For nomad, yes. A low score means nomad doesn't know you well enough to answer you properly yet. That's its problem to solve, and wearing it is how it solves it.

Because your body carried on changing and nomad stopped watching. The model went stale. The number is nomad reporting its own error honestly rather than quoting you a figure it can no longer stand behind.

Not quite, and that's deliberate. A living body never stops moving, so the model never stops chasing it. The score measures how small nomad can keep the gap, and the gap is never zero for long.

Only anonymously. Raw signals are processed on your device, and your personal model never leaves it. Anonymised data, with nothing that can identify you, goes to the cloud to improve the shared models every nomad starts from. What nomad learns about nervous systems in general is shared. The picture it builds of you is not.

No. It means nomad knows you well. Those are different things, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a number. nomad is a consumer wellness device, not a medical or diagnostic device.

nomad is coming.
