Profile
Arthur studied for his undergraduate degree (BSc) in Computer Science at Aberystwyth University, graduating in 2005. He then joined the Royal Navy, serving for 16 years as a Helicopter Pilot flying Merlin Mk1/2 aircraft. After leaving the Royal Navy, he returned to software development, specialising in Health Informatics and mHealth technology.
Identifying a gap in the practical, long-term management of energy balance, Arthur began developing solutions to address this need. This work led to the creation of Twists, an AI coaching platform that helps users track, manage, and set various long-term goals—including energy balance—with minimal input and effort.
Arthur is now combining his diverse skill set to support the research and development of the next generation of mHealth technologies, while undertaking a part-time PhD at Loughborough University under the supervision of Dr James King. His research focuses on a novel simulation model that tracks energy balance and body composition over decades, explicitly incorporating life events, behavioural disruptors, and physiological feedback mechanisms—offering new insight into when, why, and how fat gain occurs across the lifespan.
