Our Process

Three phases,
four ways of working

BHOS is a nonprofit systems initiative, not a product company and not a standards body. Every campaign is scored with a System Readiness Level diagnostic, nine levels across six levers, and four ways of working move the weakest lever.

The diagnostic · nine levels in three bands
The ground
1–3Experiments

Unnamed, Framed, Demonstrated: the problem gets a name, a map, and a first working proof in a real place.

The connective layer
4–6Infrastructure

Networked, Standardised, Embedded: a coalition forms, shared standards make results comparable, and institutions begin to carry it.

The wider system
7–9Ecosystem

Sanctioned, Mainstreamed, Self-sustaining: policy, capital and public expectation take over, and the system runs itself.

The ways of working · running through the phases
01Works the Ecosystem level
Strategy

Identifies high-leverage points through systems mapping — holding a transformation theory in which in-home biological sensing catalyses the shift from reactive waste disposal to proactive, systemic, residential health generation.

02Works the Experiments level
Prototyping

Incubates hardware — like biochemical sensors — to provide tangible proof points and reference transactions, and runs neighbourhood-scale pilots to methodise data interoperability between smart bathrooms and clinical health records.

03Works the Infrastructure level
Coordination

Orchestrates multi-stakeholder alliances — investors, insurers, corporates, clinicians, and developers — and composes blended capital portfolios nested within broader system interventions, like value-based care reimbursement. Membership models sustain the coordination and translate systemic insight into opportunity.

04Runs through every level
Learning

Functions as a transition observatory — gathering real-time biological feedback to allow for adaptive capital allocation, and using sensemaking to evaluate systemic health outcomes instead of isolated metrics.

Get involved

Join the work,
in public.

The simplest way to participate now — and to help shape something before it consolidates. We write, convene, and build for the people this category most affects.

01 · For Individuals

Sign up for updates

Occasional updates on the research, reports and convenings. We write when there is something worth reporting.

02 · For Innovators

Submit your organisation

Be profiled in the BHOS ecosystem map — startups, labs, operators, and research groups shaping the field.

03 · For Organisations

Inquire about corporate membership

For funders, corporates, and institutional partners who want to shape the work and support the research, mapping, and convening.
