In March 2025, two visionaries—Gabriela Sikorová and Rostislav Sikora—came together with a single, powerful mission: to make accessible, accurate health diagnostics available to everyone on the planet, completely free of charge. With that vision, the idea for MyZenCheck was born.
But this is not just another wellness app or a fleeting tech experiment. MyZenCheck represents a bold convergence of two worlds: ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and cutting-edge artificial intelligence. At its core, MyZenCheck is about returning to nature’s wisdom while embracing the power of modern technology to create a healthier future—equitable, inclusive, and intuitive.
The story of MyZenCheck begins not in a laboratory or a Silicon Valley incubator, but in the quiet observation of something both simple and profound: the human body speaks—through signs, patterns, colors, and shapes. For thousands of years, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have relied on detailed observation of the tongue and the eyes to assess the health of internal organs, emotional states, and imbalances in the body’s energy systems.
Gabriela and Rostislav, both deeply passionate about holistic healing, saw a powerful opportunity. What if this time-tested diagnostic wisdom could be digitized? What if anyone, anywhere in the world, could simply take a photo of their tongue or eye and receive personalized, AI-assisted health feedback—without cost, without barriers?
In that question, the seeds of MyZenCheck were planted.
Gabriela Sikorová and Rostislav Sikora bring complementary expertise and a shared calling to the MyZenCheck project. Gabriel, with a background in integrative health and deep respect for Eastern medicine, had spent years studying the subtle signals of the body. Rostislav, a technologist and futurist, saw immense potential in AI’s ability to recognize visual patterns—not just in cats or traffic signs, but in the human tongue and iris.
Their partnership was organic, driven by shared values and a mutual sense of urgency: the world needs better, more accessible tools for early health detection. In many parts of the world, particularly in underserved or remote areas, access to trained medical professionals is limited. Preventable conditions go unnoticed. Treatable diseases are caught too late.
The solution, they believed, was not to replace doctors, but to equip people with tools that empower them to understand their own bodies—and to do so at scale.
In March 2025, MyZenCheck officially launched with two cornerstone tools:
These apps allow users to take a simple photo of their tongue or eye using a smartphone. From there, an AI model—trained on vast datasets of diagnostic images and grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine—provides instant insights into possible imbalances in organ systems, energy flow (Qi), and overall wellness.
But it’s not just technology that powers these apps—it’s philosophy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views the tongue and eyes not merely as organs, but as mirrors of internal health. For instance, a pale tongue may signal blood deficiency, while a yellow coating could suggest heat in the digestive system. Similarly, the iris can reflect patterns associated with liver stress, nervous system strain, or immune imbalances.
The MyZenCheck AI respects this knowledge. It doesn’t aim to “westernize” or oversimplify it—it translates it, with care and precision, into a language that modern users can understand.
One of the most radical aspects of MyZenCheck is also one of the most inspiring: it’s 100% free.
This decision wasn’t made lightly. In a world where most health tech companies monetize through subscriptions, data sales, or tiered access, offering advanced diagnostics at no cost is a revolutionary stance. But for Gabriel and Rostislav, it’s non-negotiable.
“We believe health information is a human right,” says Gabriela. “Not a luxury.”
The team behind MyZenCheck is committed to ethical AI, data privacy, and decentralized wellness. Users are not products. Their images are anonymized, never sold, and never used for any purpose other than improving the system for everyone.
MyZenCheck’s funding model is focused on open partnerships, ethical grants, and community-driven support, ensuring sustainability without compromising its core values.
Behind the scenes, MyZenCheck’s AI engine is a marvel of thoughtful engineering. Trained on thousands of labeled images from TCM experts, the model has learned to recognize hundreds of visual markers: color variations, texture changes, fissures, pupil dilation, iris rings, and more.
But it doesn’t stop at identification—it interprets.
That’s what makes MyZenCheck unique. It’s not simply looking for anomalies; it’s translating the language of the body into actionable insights, always rooted in the holistic philosophy of Chinese medicine. The system provides personalized guidance, self-care suggestions, and encourages users to seek medical advice when red flags are detected.
As of its launch in March 2025, MyZenCheck is already available in multiple languages and used by early adopters across five continents. But Gabriela and Rostislav are just getting started.
In the coming months and years, the team plans to:
What makes MyZenCheck more than just a tech startup is its soul. It’s a response to the growing global hunger for holistic, preventive health solutions that are grounded in tradition and enhanced by technology.
It’s about decentralizing health power—putting it in the hands of individuals, not institutions.
It’s about remembering that the body holds wisdom, and that sometimes, the answers we seek are right in front of us—in the mirror.
Gabriela and Rostislav have set out to redefine digital health not with gadgets or gimmicks, but with intention, purpose, and compassion.
As they often say:
“The future of health is ancient. The future of diagnostics is now.”
