Maya exists because of a personal and deliberate belief: people with diabetes deserve to understand what's happening in their body, not just be handed more data about it.
Maya was built because of one woman's journey. She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her first pregnancy. She managed it carefully, and after delivery, it went away — or seemed to.
For four years afterward, she monitored casually — not officially diabetic, but never fully free of the risk either. After a second pregnancy, her glucose became increasingly erratic. Type 2 diabetes had arrived.
Through all of it, what she wished for was never a cure — just understanding. Why did her numbers spike after that meal? What did yesterday's stress do to today's reading? That question is why Maya exists.
"I noticed today's reading was higher than usual. Let's look at what may have contributed."
The first sentence Maya was built to say.
The principles that guide every decision at Maya
Every decision we make is guided by what's best for people living with diabetes.
Not predict first, not advise first, not automate first. If a feature doesn't help someone understand their own body better, it doesn't belong in Maya.
Every category of sharing is opt-in, every use is logged, and your data is never sold.
Real understanding of your own patterns shouldn't be a luxury. Maya is free forever, no credit card required.
Help people understand their diabetes — what happened, what may have contributed, and what's worth exploring next.
Every interaction should leave someone feeling more understood, less overwhelmed, and more confident — confusion moving toward understanding, understanding toward confidence, confidence toward peace of mind.
