Call for Partners | Hybrid health AI

A rapidly growing body of research links foods to specific health effects, often mediated by metabolites produced by the gut microbiome. New studies appear daily, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a clear and up‑to‑date overview. For companies and patient interest groups seeking to substantiate health claims, understanding what is already known, and where key knowledge gaps remain, is essential for guiding R&D, prioritising experiments, and aligning with evolving regulatory and dietary guidelines. There is a clear need for AI‑driven tools that can systematically search, interpret, and structure evidence on food–microbiome–health relationships.

Hybrid Health AI addresses this challenge by developing a powerful AI-driven method to efficiently map and navigate scientific knowledge on how food, the microbiome, metabolites, and health interact. By integrating evidence across disciplines and combining AI advice generation with expert evaluation and guidance, the approach translates complex science into reliable, decision‑ready insights.

A key strength of Hybrid Health AI is its function as a knowledge funnel. The tool systematically filters large bodies of scientific evidence to help scientists identify the most promising food components, products, and hypotheses. This enables the targeted selection of partner products for follow‑up testing in in vitro, and where appropriate, in vivo studies. In parallel, the knowledge generated by Hybrid Health AI can support patient and interest groups in updating and refining dietary guidelines, ensuring they remain aligned with the latest scientific insights.

For industry partners, Hybrid Health AI supports knowledge‑driven innovation by identifying promising markets and target groups and by enabling the design of focused experiments to substantiate health claims. Researchers benefit from improved study design by targeting key knowledge gaps, increasing both efficiency and impact.

We invite partners to collaborate within Hybrid Health AI. Partner‑supplied food materials will be tested in vitro, with results contextualised within the broader scientific landscape to generate actionable insights. By joining Hybrid Health AI, partners become part of a collaborative ecosystem, unlocking the full health potential of food.
