The live beta still runs on Streamlit while I migrate the score and coaching experience into the native MendelMD site. Use it to generate an educational Vital8 score summary and AI-guided prevention notes based on the current methodology.
Educational only. Not a diagnosis, treatment plan, emergency tool, or substitute for professional medical care.
