Common Questions
What is causal inference in health tracking?
Causal estimates possible lifestyle patterns beyond simple correlations by combining randomized check-ins with Apple Health signals. It is designed for personal wellness insight, not medical diagnosis.
Why does Causal prompt me randomly instead of letting me log manually?
Manual logging introduces strong recall and selection biases. Prompting you randomly during waking hours yields mathematically sound causal data without notification fatigue.
How are active factors like caffeine or stress tracked?
Lifestyle factors like caffeine, stress, or workouts are tracked through quick, random check-in prompts. Causal reads the Apple Health records you approve and writes only supported records you explicitly save.
What is a percentile benchmark?
It compares your biometric reaction slope (e.g., how much your HRV drops per drink of alcohol) with the broader Causal user community. You'll learn if you are in the top 10% of caffeine sensitivity or if sugar affects your sleep less than average.
Is my data private and secure?
Causal does not use health data, HealthKit data, biometrics, or check-in answers for ads, marketing, resale, or unrelated profiling. Data is used to generate personal wellness insights.
