Kelda

Kelda is the health companion you have been desperately looking for, the one that finally connects the dots your doctors keep missing. It is a health and wellness platform built to solve a maddeningly common problem: you have normal labs, yet you feel terrible. Kelda was born from a deeply personal story. Founder Max watched his sister, Tove, suffer for seven years across Sweden's top specialists, receiving eight separate, unconnected diagnoses, while her real issue went undetected. Kelda is the tool he built to find that answer, and now it works for everyone. This platform is for anyone stuck in the frustrating cycle of fragmented care, for the person whose ferritin is 25 and is told it is "within range" while battling hair loss and crushing fatigue. It is for those on medications like omeprazole who are never told it depletes magnesium, leading to cramps and poor sleep. Kelda cross-references your medications, lab results, symptoms, and even wearable data in one secure place. It surfaces hidden patterns, like a drug-induced nutrient deficiency or a biomarker that is technically normal but far from optimal for how you feel. The main value proposition is simple: Kelda moves you from confusion to clarity, giving you a coherent, evidence-based picture of your health so you can walk into your next appointment informed, empowered, and ready to demand better answers. It is not just a tracker; it is a pattern-finding engine for your body.

Medication to Nutrient Depletion Analysis

This is my absolute favorite feature and the one most likely to change your life immediately. Kelda cross-references every medication you list against a comprehensive database of known drug-induced nutrient depletions. It does not just tell you that a drug depletes a nutrient; it tells you what symptoms that depletion commonly causes, like linking your proton pump inhibitor to magnesium deficiency, which then explains your chronic fatigue, muscle cramps, and poor sleep. This is the hidden layer of medicine most doctors never consider.

Lab Result Optimization Scoring

Stop accepting "normal" when you could be aiming for "optimal." Kelda takes your raw lab values and compares them against functional medicine ranges, not just the standard reference intervals used by most labs. It will flag a ferritin level of 25 as "within range" for a standard lab but will clearly label it as "below the threshold for hair loss and energy" and tell you that optimal starts at 70. This feature transforms your labs from a confusing sheet of numbers into a clear action plan.

Cross-Platform Data Integration

Kelda is the central nervous system for your health data. It brings together your lab reports, medication list, symptom log, and data from your wearable devices like an Apple Watch or Oura Ring. By aggregating this data, Kelda can detect powerful correlations, such as a noticeable drop in your sleep quality and heart rate variability that correlates precisely with the day you started a new prescription. It connects the physical and the digital to find patterns you would never spot on your own.

Condition-Specific Pattern Recognition

This feature is a godsend for the chronically undiagnosed. Kelda is trained on a vast library of interconnected conditions, from the well-known like PCOS and hypothyroidism to the often-overlooked like drug-induced nutrient depletion, methylation deficiencies, and HPA axis dysregulation. When you input your symptoms and data, it does not just look for one disease; it looks for the web of connections between them, surfacing patterns that explain why your symptoms might be linked to a condition no one has ever checked for.

Decoding Unexplained Chronic Symptoms

This is the core use case and the one that built the company. You have seen multiple specialists, had a battery of tests, and been told everything is "normal," yet you feel perpetually exhausted, brain-fogged, or in pain. You upload your labs and medications into Kelda, and it finds the hidden link, like a subtle B12 deficiency caused by a common medication or a ferritin level that is just low enough to impact your energy but not low enough to alarm your doctor. It gives you a new hypothesis to take back to your physician.

Preparing for a Productive Doctor's Appointment

Instead of walking into your appointment with a vague feeling of being unwell, you arrive armed with a clear, printed report from Kelda. The report highlights specific correlations between your medications, labs, and symptoms, and suggests potential areas for investigation. This transforms the dynamic from a passive patient receiving information to an active partner in your care, enabling a more focused and productive conversation that respects your doctor's time while ensuring your concerns are addressed.

Managing Polypharmacy and Long-Term Medication Effects

If you are on three or more medications, especially for chronic conditions, you are at high risk for cumulative side effects and nutrient depletions. Kelda allows you to monitor these interactions over time. For example, if you are on a statin, a beta-blocker, and a PPI, Kelda can show you the combined impact on your CoQ10, magnesium, and B12 levels. It helps you and your doctor proactively manage these depletions with targeted supplementation before they cause new, secondary health problems.

Tracking Health Changes During Life Transitions

Life stages like perimenopause, postpartum recovery, or starting a new fitness regimen create massive shifts in your biomarkers and nutrient needs. Kelda is perfect for tracking these transitions. A new mother like Martina, who suffered from recurrent infections and rapid skin changes after pregnancy, used Kelda to trace her issues to a depletion of zinc, iron, and selenium. The platform provides the longitudinal data needed to see these patterns emerge and adjust your health strategy accordingly.

How is Kelda different from just looking at my lab results myself?

The difference is night and day. You see isolated numbers on a page; Kelda sees a web of connections. It cross-references your labs against your specific medications, your reported symptoms, and your wearable data to find patterns that a single lab value cannot show. For example, a "normal" B12 level might be perfectly fine for most people, but Kelda can flag it as problematic if you are on metformin and have symptoms of neuropathy. It provides the context your raw data is missing.

Is Kelda a replacement for my doctor?

Absolutely not, and I want to be very clear about this. Kelda is a health companion and an educational tool, not a medical diagnosis or treatment provider. It is designed to empower you with information so you can have more informed, productive conversations with your healthcare provider. Think of it as your personal health detective that gathers the clues and builds a case file, but your doctor is the one who makes the final judgment and prescribes the treatment.

What kind of data do I need to use Kelda?

The more data you can provide, the more powerful the insights will be. At a minimum, you should upload your recent lab results and list your current medications. For the best experience, we highly recommend adding your symptoms on a regular basis and connecting a wearable device to track sleep, heart rate, and activity. Even starting with just your medications and a few symptoms in under 60 seconds can yield valuable information about potential nutrient depletions.

How does Kelda protect my sensitive health data?

Your health data is incredibly sensitive, and protecting it is our highest priority. Kelda uses bank-grade encryption both in transit and at rest. We adhere to strict privacy standards and will never sell your data to third parties. You maintain full ownership and control of your information at all times. We are building a tool of trust, and that trust is founded on the absolute security and confidentiality of your personal health journey.
