Abby Brody is no stranger to transformation. With a career rooted in educational reform and a personal journey marked by profound challenges, she stands at the forefront of a new era — one where outdated, one-size-fits-all models no longer bind education and health care. Through the N=1 Movement, Brody champions a personalized, AI-powered future that recognizes the unique nature of every individual.
From personal crisis to public mission
The origins of the N=1 Movement are as personal as they are powerful. When Brody’s husband and son were diagnosed with rare, aggressive cancers, she found herself confronting a health care system designed around generalized protocols rather than individualized care. This experience echoed what she had long observed in education: a rigid, standardized approach that often overlooks the needs of the individual.
Rather than accept the status quo, Brody turned her pain into purpose. She began connecting with other parents navigating similar challenges, building a community dedicated to changing how health care and education treat the individual. This commitment led to the creation of the Board of American Precision Medicine, an initiative aimed at advancing personalized medical interventions through technology and research.
Challenging traditional systems
Brody’s career has always centered on innovation. She has consistently pushed boundaries, from her leadership at Avenues: The World School to founding Mind the Gap and The MYX. At The MYX, she introduced a hybrid learning model combining online education with real-world experiences. This approach emphasized student autonomy and practical skill-building — a sharp contrast to the traditional four-year college model. However, such innovation did not come without resistance. Accreditation bodies, which significantly influence educational legitimacy, resisted these new methodologies, highlighting the systemic barriers to change.
Yet, Brody remains steadfast. She believes technological advancements, particularly AI, present an opportunity to reshape these institutions. “We now have the tools to personalize learning and health care in ways we never could before,” Brody explains. “It’s time to embrace that potential and bring these industries into the digital age.”
A vision for personalized futures
At the heart of the N=1 Movement is a simple yet profound belief: every person is unique, and their education and health care should reflect that. For Brody, the future lies in leveraging AI to provide individualized care and learning paths tailored to each person’s specific needs. This approach moves beyond standard protocols to consider a person’s genetic, emotional and intellectual profile.
By 2026, Brody aims to build an audience of over 50,000 supporters to fuel the first product launch under the N=1 banner. This ambitious goal reflects her broader mission: to invest in and promote interventions that modernize both education and health care systems through advanced, personalized solutions.
Why personalization matters now
The need for change is clear. In both health care and education, generalized approaches have left many individuals underserved. Students struggle within rigid educational frameworks, while patients often face medical protocols that fail to consider their unique biological makeup. Brody’s N=1 Movement challenges these outdated paradigms by advocating for a system where technology enables greater personalization and better outcomes.
Through her work, Brody invites others to imagine a world where no one is reduced to an average. Whether through advocating for more precise medical care or rethinking educational models, she is paving the way for a future where individuals are seen and supported for who they truly are.
