User Onboarding Flow

"The moment a person creates their BEO, they cross a threshold — from patient to sovereign."

Design Philosophy

Most health apps onboard users into a product. BSP onboards users into a lifelong biological identity. This 12-minute process is intentionally architectural; the user should feel the weight of setting up permanent infrastructure for their health data.

Traditional Health AppsBSP Onboarding
Creates an account on their serversCreates a sovereign identity on permanent infrastructure
User data belongs to the platformUser holds the private key to their own biology
Account can be deleted by companyBEO cannot be deleted by anyone
Recovers via email resetRecovers via social guardian network
Data locked in one appData is fully portable (SOVEREIGN_EXPORT)

The Four Phases of Onboarding

Phase 01: Identity (Creating the BEO)

  • Action: The user chooses their .bsp domain (e.g., andre.bsp, or a privacy-preserving identifier).
  • Under the hood: A cryptographic key pair is generated instantly and locally on the device's secure enclave. The public key is registered on Arweave. The identity is permanently created.

Phase 02: Sovereignty (Protecting the BEO)

A BEO protected only by a seed phrase is vulnerable if the device is lost. This phase sets up the safety net.

  • Guardians: The user selects 3 trusted people. A 2-of-3 threshold is established.
  • Seed Phrase: The user must backup their 24-word recovery phrase offline.
  • UX Note: Guardian setup is highly encouraged but optional during initial onboarding. A user can skip it and add guardians later, ensuring they are never blocked from entering the ecosystem.

Phase 03: Activation (First BioRecords)

The protocol comes alive with data. The user has three paths to build their baseline:

  • Path A: Import. Connect a BSP-Compliant laboratory to import existing exam histories instantly.
  • Path B: Wearable. Connect an Oura Ring, Apple Watch, etc. to start syncing continuous biometric data.
  • Path C: Manual Entry. Manually type in recent blood test values to trigger the first data points.

Phase 04: Living Protocol (Vitality Intelligence)

The user authorizes the intelligence layer (AVA).

  • Action: The user grants AVA continuous, revocable reading rights to process their BioRecords.
  • Result: The user receives their first Ambrósio Vitality Score (SVA) — e.g., a score of 68.4, showing an biological age of 41.2 against a chronological age of 42. It is framed as an opportunity to improve, never a verdict.

Post-Onboarding: The Living BEO

A BEO grows continuously. A user starting with 50 lab results and connecting a wearable will accumulate thousands of BioRecords in their first year.

At any moment, the user can trigger a SOVEREIGN_EXPORT, receiving a complete, decrypted JSON file of their biological history. This export demonstrates true portability and sovereignty.

Triggering New BioRecords

The app prompts users to add data at high-intent moments:

  • Automatic: Wearables sync silently daily; lab results arrive automatically.
  • Prompted: "You had a medical appointment today — add your results?"
  • Action-driven: If the SVA drops significantly, the app prompts the user to book a new blood panel to investigate.

Special Cases

  • Minors: BEOs for minors are created under a custodial model held by the parent. At age 18, an automated transfer initiates, handing full sovereign control to the adult without losing any historical data.
  • Data Correction: If a lab makes a transcription error, they submit a correction. The new BioRecord marks the old one as SUPERSEDED, preserving the immutable audit trail while displaying the correct value.
