Profile
Arthur studied for his undergraduate degree (BSc) in Computer Science at Aberystwyth University He then joined the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, serving 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 app, an AI coaching platform that helps users track, manage, and set various long-term goals—including managing 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. His research focuses on novel simulation modelling that predicts 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 lifespans.
