BODY AND SOUL - DNA Romance is a dating app that uses genetic compatibility to predict deeper connections between users before they meet in person, aiming to bridge the gap between online and real-life chemistry. The app leverages DNA data to forecast "romantic chemistry" based on factors like the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which influences attraction. Users can upload existing DNA data or purchase a DNA kit through the app for compatibility matches. DNA Romance also offers a personality compatibility algorithm for those who prefer not to take the DNA test. Additionally, the app's creators have launched Gene Pool, which uses genetic data for family planning and pregnancy predictions.

Dr. Timothy Sexton - DNA as Indicator of Romantic Chemistry
OPW - Dr. Timothy Sexton, CEO and Technical Founder of DNA Romance, believes that true romantic chemistry is found at the genetic level. Dr. Sexton has been analyzing the human genome for over 16 years and applied his expertise to the online dating experience. Romantic attraction is comprised of sexual chemistry, personality, physical attraction, and common interests. Online interactions can allow daters to evaluate personality, physical attraction, and common interests. Sexual chemistry cannot be determined through typical dating app experiences and only comes to light on the first date. According to Dr. Sexton, first date disappointment is attributed to a lack of sexual chemistry. This can lead to frustration and a poor user experience. DNA Romance developed the DRom 1.0 algorithm to synthesize genetic information into a simplified chemistry score. Dr. Timothy Sexton the application of DNA analysis to enhance the online dating experience in the latest video in the LTR Conference series.
LTR stands for Love, Technology, Relationships and the online conference covers the Internet dating and Online Social Communities space. It is for members of IDEA and OSCA.

How Advances in Technology and Science Could Impact the Dating and Matchmaking Industry
FORBES - Aug 5 - The art and science of matchmaking is a billion-dollar industry. Yet, many pitfalls exist such as safety, security and ineffective matching methods. These issues aren't as prevalent with professional matchmakers, however, not every singleton can afford to pay $15K and $150K for a high-end matchmaking service. This exposes a huge opening in the industry for dating apps and professional matchmakers to merge. How realistic is this, and what kind of technology or science can help achieve this idealistic goal?
Blockchain Technology
Companies such as Hicky and Viola have both implemented blockchain to increase transparency by requiring users to validate their identity via face and voice recognition, which is then fully encrypted and stored into the blockchain.
Artificial Intelligence
AI can help gather in-app user behavior data for machine learning algorithms to curate more relevant matches based on its users' core values, beliefs and personality traits. Coffee Meets Bagel, Hinge, Tinder and Badoo all now use AI .
Augmented Reality
AR can be described as a visual or audio overlay of digital life on real life, distinct from the purely digital landscape of virtual reality (VR).
DNA Matchmaking
DNA Romance is a dating app that matches partners based on the information hidden in their DNA to forecast romantic chemistry. Dr. Tim Sexton built the app on the basis that partners with opposite immune system genes (MHC genes) have much higher romantic chemistry.

DNA Romance - DNA-driven Dating Startup
GEEKWIRE - Feb 15 - DNA Romance is a Vancouver, B.C.-based startup that launched in 2014. It generates potential matches based on a DNA analysis of genes involved with immune system response that research has connected to human attraction. People can use a kit purchased from DNA Romance to sample and create their genetic blueprint, or share their results from one of the other DNA sequencing companies. The startup has raised $120K from friends and family and has customers in 93 countries. Their business model was initially subscription based, but in the fall they shifted to selling home DNA testing kits and online advertising to generate revenue. The kits cost $74.75. DNA Romance is available online, with plans to develop mobile apps. Competitors in the DNA-assisted dating space include Pheramor, GenePartner and Instant Chemistry.

What Will Online Dating Be Like in 2030?
MASHABLE - Feb 14 - Online dating isn't going away any time soon. If anything, it's likely to become further integrated into even more people's lives. "Online daters are exhausted," said Dawoon Kang, co-founder and co-CEO of Coffee Meets Bagel. "Machine-learning and AI may be able to help. People, a lot of times, don't know what they want. Better machine-learning could tailor your matches to your actions, rather than your stated desires", Kang said. Loveflutter, a UK dating app, has AI that matches people based on personality traits it decodes from their tweets. It also plans to use AI to coach users through meeting offline after analyzing their chats. Jean Meyer, the founder and CEO of European dating app Once, doesn't think the dating industry will crack the AI code. "The optimum for a dating service is to show you profiles of people that might be good enough, but not perfection," Meyer said. Pheramor, DNA Romance, and Instant Chemistry all analyze users' DNA to make matches. Video will play a larger role in dating apps, execs said, but how, exactly, is still unclear. Virtual reality in dating apps will also take cultural change.

DNA Romance Uses DNA Tests For Matchmaking
KNOWTECHIE - Dec 12 - DNA Romance uses genetic information in order to come up with the best matches, ensuring high compatibility. Founders Dr. Timothy Sexton and Judith Bosire pitched DNA Romance to Canada's Dragon Den, but the Dragons failed to see the full potential of this app. DNA Romance uses each user's DNA data – if it is already available, on DNA testing services like 23andMe or Ancestry DNA. If the user has never tested his genetic information, then a new test is required, which can be ordered right from DNA Romance's site. Matches only happen if there is a compatibility. The first three matches are free, while additional matches require membership ($10/month).
