How Metabolic Insight Vault works

Metabolic Insight Vault (Ntsako.AI) is a wellness application built around a breathing-based metabolic assessment. It combines a 60-second breathing scan with the profile information you provide to produce metabolic insights about your estimated resting energy use, and to offer personalized fitness guidance, nutrition ideas, and a conversational wellness companion.

The four steps

1. Build your private profile

You answer a short set of questions — age, sex, height, weight, activity level, goals, and pregnancy status if relevant. This stays on your device and can be exported as an encrypted QR identity card.

2. Take the 60-second breathing assessment

Your device microphone listens to your natural breathing rhythm for about a minute. The app measures inhale and exhale duration, pauses, and rhythm stability. Audio is processed on your device during the scan.

3. See your metabolic insights

Your profile is combined with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for resting energy expenditure, and your breathing rhythm is used to describe a respiratory-quotient (RQ) trend and an estimated fat-versus-carbohydrate fuel split.

4. Get personalized fitness and nutrition guidance

Exercise programs and nutrition ideas are matched to your sex, metabolic category, goal, and pregnancy status, and your AI wellness companion explains everything in plain language.

What the estimates mean

Resting energy estimate. An approximation of the energy your body uses at rest, derived from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation using your age, sex, height, and weight. It is a population-level formula, not a measurement of your individual metabolism.

RQ trend. Respiratory quotient describes the balance of fuel sources the body may be using. Ntsako reports a directional trend based on your breathing rhythm and profile — not a laboratory RQ value from gas analysis.

Fuel usage split. An educational estimate of how your energy use may currently lean between fat and carbohydrate. Use it to notice patterns over time rather than as an exact percentage.

Metabolic score. A summary indicator combining rhythm consistency and your profile, designed to make change over repeated assessments easy to see.

Privacy

Your vault is stored locally on your device. Registration generates an encrypted QR identity card that you can save or print; scanning or uploading it restores your vault on another device. Breathing audio is processed on your device during the scan and is not uploaded.

Wellness disclaimer

Metabolic Insight Vault is a wellness and education tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for clinical metabolic testing such as indirect calorimetry, laboratory work, or professional medical, prenatal, or mental health care. All figures are estimates. Speak with a qualified clinician before making changes to your diet, exercise, medication, or care — especially during pregnancy or if you have a medical condition.
