Think monad as in philosophy, less monad as in a programming burrito.

Our intention is to let each user be a self-contained, enclosed (through encryption) unit where they get insights tailored to their unique genome. At the same time, we want to aggregate data (securely and with consent) from all users to power medical and research findings.

It sort of also works in the programming monad sense as the data is always enclosed and encrypted and never "directly" operated on.
