KeyRD: building and testing support across daily life.

Why begin with dietetics?

An RDN’s documented nutrition intervention gives the research a clinically grounded reference. Daily choices, changing context, patient preferences, and repeated opportunities for support make adherence a meaningful question to investigate.

Evidence for dietitian-delivered care and reviews of digital support inform the rationale. They do not validate KeyRD.

What has been built.

Implemented backend components include policy gates, source-bound plan interpretation, decision receipts and an application-level append-only learning ledger. They are candidates to reuse in a study instrument; their end-to-end suitability for the proposed JITAI study remains unverified. Component status · Technical overview · AI disclosure.

KeyRD brings together a bounded decision-review prototype, a protected professional-evaluation workflow, and synthetic demonstrations. The public Maya demo illustrates eligibility, assignment, delivery records, adherence measurement, and missing data across six fictional weeks.

The demo is not the production engine or a trial execution system. No participant is enrolled, no outcome is collected, and no patient communication is sent.

What remains unproven.

Suitability as a research instrument, measurement validity, delivery reliability, safety in actual use, and effects on adherence remain to be established. There is no demonstrated clinical benefit, workload reduction, or commercial return.

The protected professional evaluation addresses a separate judgment and workflow question. It cannot establish a causal effect on dietary adherence.

What collaborators would help study.

First define the behavior and acceptable support, verify the decision and recording mechanisms, and evaluate measurement and feasibility. A later prospective study could investigate when and for whom adaptive support changes adherence.

Any study involving people needs its own protocol, appropriate ethics review, consent, data arrangements, and safety procedures before recruitment. This website does not announce an approved study or enroll participants.

How this fits Statera’s broader work.

Statera owns and develops KeyRD and has a commercial interest in its future use. Independent means currently unaffiliated with an academic institution, not free of commercial interests. Read the ownership and interests disclosure. Methods for governing and inspecting decisions might eventually support other applications, but transfer must be demonstrated. The 20-year aim remains an aspiration.

A standalone offering, licensing, joint development, and interfaces with existing systems are possible routes. None is presented as a launched service or confirmed integration. Technical fit, evidence, demand, permissions and a viable implementation model still need to be established.
