I'm building ProForta.com, a prototype app for a self-sovereign AI architecture where you gain control over your health data wherever it resides, the AIs go to your data to gather insights, and raw data custody remains where it was created.

On-device isn't only cheaper/faster - for health data it's the whole point! The self-sovereign community desperately needs an affordable AI appliance and Apple is still the most likely candidate to deliver on the privacy promise.

I'm looking at adopting a mesh network architecture for self-sovereign inference across longitudinal health records.

I got myself a NVIDIA DGX Spark to build on unified-memory hardware at home. Now running a health-AI node for all my longitudinal health data - insights are generated on the box so that raw data never leaks.

the failure wasn’t the science - it was the custody model (your DNA sequence became someone else’s asset). This problem is not limited to 23andMe and the fix is a programatic custody model for health data where the data never leaves your control.
