Microplastics are worth understanding. They are not something daygauge can score from your phone.
The responsible product path is education, optional exposure-habit notes and clear limits, not a fake microplastic risk number.
Start with the signal your own data can support.
Microplastics searches are exploding because research now feels personal: blood, tissue, semen, testicles, organs and consumer testing.
The honest app position is simple: daygauge can help organise habits and lab timelines, but it cannot infer exposure burden or biological harm from passive lifestyle data.
daygauge can publish explainers, store optional habit notes and place imported test results on a private timeline.
What this page covers.
From research context to product evidence.
What a user should expect to see in the app.
Exposure-habit note: bottled water logged 5 days; heated plastic contact logged 2 days.
Weekly review previewdaygauge can publish explainers, store optional habit notes and place imported test results on a private timeline.
Confidence rises when the same pattern repeats against your own baseline and drops when key signals are missing.
daygauge would suggest one small experiment, then watch whether the evidence repeats over the next week.
