The consumer health landscape is shifting. As AI-powered insights, genetic testing, and preventative health tools gain traction, a new generation of companies is emerging to redefine how people engage with their own health data.
At the center of this transformation is Nucleus, the clinical-grade DNA health platform that is reshaping genetic testing for the modern era. To help lead this charge, the company has added a key player to its founding engineering team: Romain Daguet, an award-winning software engineer and serial entrepreneur known for his work in IoT, web3, and digital product design.
Bringing on a technologist of Daguet’s caliber signals where consumer health tech is headed, and Nucleus’ commitment to leading the way.
A critical moment for Nucleus—and for consumer health tech
The hiring of Daguet comes at a critical inflection point for the entire healthcare industry. AI is making diagnostics faster and more precise. Digital-first health platforms are putting people in control of their medical data. And consumers are demanding more intuitive, actionable tools that empower them to take charge of their health, not just react to it.
Nucleus is optimally positioned to lead this shift. Unlike traditional genetic testing services that offer a one-time analysis, Nucleus has built a continuously evolving platform that integrates real-time scientific discoveries and AI-driven recommendations into an ongoing health journey.
With a vision of making preventative healthcare more accessible and proactive, Nucleus isn’t just helping people understand their DNA—it’s equipping them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their future health and family planning.
To scale this vision, the company needs engineers who understand not just how to build technology, but how to design human-centered experiences that make complex data usable and actionable. That’s exactly what Daguet brings to the table.
Why Daguet is the right engineer for the job
Daguet has spent over a decade at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and user experience, building companies that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
His career began in France’s IOT Valley, one of Europe’s largest startup ecosystems, after his first startup, Moop, won the Garonne Startup Competition in 2017. He went on to co-found a number of other companies, most recently launching Pecorino Studio, a creative development firm that has worked with globally recognized artists, directors, and brands like Cercle.
Now, he’s turning his attention to healthtech.
“Healthcare needs beautiful, functional tools that people want to use every day, and that’s exactly what we’re building at Nucleus,” says Daguet. “It’s a pivotal time for healthcare—and for Nucleus—and I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
His role will be critical in ensuring that Nucleus doesn’t just deliver genetic insights, but creates a seamless, intuitive experience for consumers—one that makes preventative health as easy as checking an app.
Building the future of personalized healthcare
Daguet joins an elite team of engineers and industry veterans at Nucleus, including Savraj Singh, former CTO of Daily Harvest and Bubble Goods, and recent hires like Matt Lanter, co-founder of OpenStore, and David Sloane, founder of AI health assistant Cambrean.
Together, they are working to build a consumer health tech platform that doesn’t just react to genetic data, but helps people proactively manage their health with real-time insights.
“As we continue to build and innovate in the genetic testing space, Romain will be instrumental in helping us turn complex data into everyday health solutions,” says Kian Sadeghi, CEO and Founder of Nucleus. “His experience in building intuitive, user-friendly technology will be a major asset as we redefine how people engage with their DNA.”
The future of healthcare isn’t just about more data—it’s about empowering people to use it in meaningful ways. With Romain Daguet now part of its engineering team, Nucleus is one step closer to making that future a reality.
