I’m seeking collaborators in dietetics, behavioral science, measurement, statistics, and research engineering. Tell me which question interests you and what perspective you would bring. An initial conversation is not study enrollment. This is founder-led work through the company that owns KeyRD; ownership and interests are disclosed here.
Practitioner discovery interviews are separate from research collaboration and evaluation. They last about 50 minutes and require no preparation, installation, or patient records. Read the interview participant information.
Employers: review my work and discuss a role.
I welcome conversations about contributing to a team working in nutrition, digital health, product development, research operations, or technology. My responsibility for KeyRD is its concept, research, and product and architecture design. The public demonstrations and technical overview illustrate the design and distinguish implemented components from proposed research capabilities.
My background spans technology and operations, a BS in Nutrition & Food Science from LSU, support for Nutrition for Precision Health at Pennington Biomedical, and dietary-adherence review work. View my LinkedIn profile and experience.
Read the component status and technical overview, try the fictional decision walkthrough, read why I started this, or contact me about a role. A hiring conversation is separate from sponsoring KeyRD or participating in a study.
Partners: explore a specific application.
Potential paths include a standalone offering, licensing components, joint development, and interfaces with existing research or care systems. These are possibilities to assess, not available products or confirmed integrations.
Start with the workflow, users, existing systems, technical requirements, and evidence needed. Demand, feasibility, costs, permissions, ownership and a sustainable business model would need to be established before commitments.
Where your contribution could make a difference.
- RDNs and clinical investigators: define the target prescription, meaningful adherence, safe support content and escalation boundaries.
- Behavioral scientists and people with lived experience: challenge assumptions about receptivity, food access, burden and participant control.
- Measurement and statistics collaborators: select and validate measures, define the causal question, and plan power, repeated-measures analysis and missing-data handling.
- Research engineers: assess existing components, independent replay, randomization, delivery fidelity and reproducible exports.
- Institutional and funding partners: help establish study oversight, resources, roles and a feasible development plan.
The immediate output would be an agreed research question, a component-verification plan and a draft protocol—not an assumption that the instrument is ready. Roles would be named publicly only with agreement.
Professional evaluation is invitation-only.
To request an invitation, email hello@statera.systems with the subject “Professional evaluation.” An invitation request does not grant access.
If you are invited to the identified synthetic evaluation, the participation notice appears inside the gated flow before any evaluation submission is accepted. The notice covers access, retention, deletion limits, any compensation or fees, and optional follow-up email. Account sign-in alone does not grant participation.
Keep ordinary email non-sensitive.
Do not include patient information, clinical records, passwords, credentials, API keys, authentication codes, or sensitive security findings. Ask for an appropriate channel first.
