# Flect

> Flect connects wearable data (Oura, WHOOP, Apple Health) with mood and behavior patterns to find what actually drives personal wellbeing. Not scores, not streaks — patterns and causes.

Flect answers the question most health apps ignore: **why** do you feel the way you feel — not just what your metrics look like.

## About

Flect is a wellbeing intelligence app for people who track themselves but still can't explain their patterns. It integrates biometric data (HRV, sleep stages, readiness) with subjective inputs (mood, energy, emotions) to surface correlations and root causes.

Core framework: **HLI (Happiness Level Index)** — 6 dimensions: Resources, Emotions, Balance, Understanding, Progress, Purpose.

Launching beta: April 2026. Waitlist: https://getflect.app

## Key Concepts

**HRV and burnout**: Heart rate variability is a leading indicator of burnout, often degrading 2–4 weeks before subjective exhaustion becomes conscious. Tracking HRV trends alongside emotional inputs reveals the early warning window.

**Pattern vs. score**: Readiness and recovery scores are snapshots. Patterns — recurring correlations between inputs and outputs over time — are actionable. Flect surfaces patterns, not scores.

**Emotional data layer**: Wearables capture the body. Subjective inputs (mood, energy, social context, cognitive load) capture the mind. The intersection is where insight lives.

**The 6 HLI dimensions**: Resources (energy, sleep, physical state), Emotions (mood, affect, emotional range), Balance (work-life, stress-rest ratio), Understanding (self-awareness, clarity), Progress (goals, momentum), Purpose (meaning, direction).
