  • Publication number: 20200372970
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for trait prediction coordination. One embodiment is a method that includes launching a genomics application at a user device, receiving a command to present a partner application within the genomics application, selecting characteristics to predict for an individual, based on an identifier that distinguishes the partner application from other partner applications, operating polygenic models that generate predictions for the characteristics based on genetic records for the individual, acquiring media for the partner application, based on the predictions, and operating the partner application to update a display at the user device with the media, thereby providing the predictions in a format specific to the partner application.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8983637
    Abstract: An activity tracking system is configured to receive an activity report identifying a fitness-related action that is reported to have been completed by a participant. Upon receipt of the activity report, the activity reporting system verifies the workout, e.g., by obtaining data that can be used by the activity reporting system to determine whether the activity report represents actual activity as reported by the participant or, in the alternative, suspect activity. Based on the data obtained from the one or more data sources and the information in the activity report, the activity tracking system determines a probability that the activity report represents legitimate fitness activity. This probability determination may then be output or reported to other systems (e.g., fitness history databases, websites, and the like, third party systems (e.g., incentive systems, reward systems, and the like).
