Biomicus – Cultivate a Healthier you!

In the digital age of 2035, reduced exposure to everyday microbes has weakened our immune systems, leading to a rise in preventable illnesses and putting even more pressure on the NHS.

Introducing Biomicus, a government initiative designed to help you take control of your health from the inside out. The human microbiome, your body’s unique community of microbes, plays a vital role in defending against diseases and supporting the immune system. With Biomicus, a simple sample is all it takes to analyse your microbial profile, giving you personalised insights into how to measure, maintain, and even exchange microbes to improve your wellbeing.

The kit includes the Biomescope sample analyser, which is an easy-to-use device that allows you to examine and improve your microbiome through personalised suggestions.

It also includes the Mycro ID card, which is a database of your microbiome health and can be used to exchange biome sample products created using the device. This innovative approach allows you to improve your immune function and connect with a community dedicated to health and wellness.

This project builds on the group research and future world-building in Designing Future Experiences: The Pub 2035.
