USER STORIES · SCENARIO LIBRARY

See how a complete genome fits real life.

The stories below are scenario stories: written by the Kepler team around situations people commonly bring to genome sequencing. They show what the workflow can and cannot do.

WHAT PEOPLE MOST OFTEN LOOK FOR

Four themes come up again and again.

We studied publicly posted feedback across consumer genome services before designing these scenarios. The same four themes dominate: understanding health signals, clearer reports, better conversations with doctors, and family context.

Making sense of health signals
Reports that are clear enough to act on
Better questions for the doctor's office
Context that matters for the family

SCENARIO STORIES

Ten situations, one genome.

Family planning

31, planning a first child
“I wanted carrier information understood before, not after, a pregnancy. What convinced me was that the data would still be there in ten years for questions I don't know to ask yet.”
Kepler in this scenario

Saliva kit at home, carrier-related report categories, consent controls visible in the account.

45, comparing notes with a sibling's test
“My sister used a genotyping panel years ago. When I sequenced my whole genome, we could finally talk about the same variants instead of guessing what her percentages meant.”
Kepler in this scenario

Full-genome data can be re-examined as family questions evolve, without re-sampling.

Preventative health

38, family history of a heart condition
“I didn't want a prediction. I wanted my cholesterol plan discussed with real numbers on the table — including what my genome can and cannot tell my cardiologist.”
Kepler in this scenario

Disease-risk report categories with explicit confidence labels, designed to be brought to a professional.

How results work
52, deciding about screening schedules
“The useful part wasn't a scare — it was knowing which screenings my doctor considered evidence-based for someone like me, and which were marketing.”
Kepler in this scenario

Reports separate established associations from preliminary research, and say so on the page.

Fitness & nutrition

27, plateaued after a year of training
“My recovery and caffeine results didn't hand me a new body. They stopped me from copying training plans written for someone else's physiology.”
Kepler in this scenario

Trait report categories with plain-language explanations of what each result does and does not support.

40, tired of one-size-fits-all diets
“Lactose sensitivity, taste preferences, vitamin metabolism — none of it is destiny. Knowing them just made my diet arguments with myself shorter.”
Kepler in this scenario

Nutrition-related reports are purchased once and stay accessible; no subscription needed to re-read them.

Skin & everyday wellness

34, building a skincare routine
“Collagen and antioxidant reports didn't sell me a cream. They told me which aisles of advice were worth my attention at all.”
Kepler in this scenario

Wellness report categories focus on what the data supports, and skip the product recommendations.

How results work
48, sleep and stress patterns
“Nothing magical. But when the report said my results suggest normal variation, that saved me a month of worrying about the wrong thing.”
Kepler in this scenario

Reports state clearly when a result is likely normal variation — silence is not evidence.

Investing in midlife health

55, first genome test, lots of questions
“I expected a science lecture. What I got was a short list of things actually worth discussing with my doctor, and honest labels for everything else.”
Kepler in this scenario

Support team + Knowledge Center explain report scope before purchase, not after.

Contact support
60, returning to results years later
“The sequencing was done once. Every year there is something new to look at — that is the part I would pay for again.”
Kepler in this scenario

Knowledge updates and new GeneHub analyses run on the same genome file you already own.

What these stories are not

Scenario stories are educational examples. Kepler reports are not medical diagnoses and do not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Drug-response and disease-risk results always deserve a professional conversation.
