Wellbeing Algorithm

 “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”...... W.E. Deming (business theorist)


The health care industry produces an astonishing amount of data: nearly one-third of the world’s data volume. The amount of data health care providers generate can seem overwhelming—and it can overwhelm your ability to find valuable insights that can help physicians and its patients.

Algorithms analyze genetic data to tailor treatments to individual patients, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. It is about identifying areas where computational intelligence exceeds our capacity to do a given thing. 

We see this already in navigation, algorithms fly planes safer than humans can.

To list AI’s core competences. 

1- AI is really good as a summarizer. 

2- AI is good at explaining things, teaching with infinite patience.  

3- AI is fundamentally a prediction technology. Predictions about whether turning left or right will get you to your destination faster. Predictions about whether a tumor is cancerous might improve medical diagnoses. 

4- AI can assess. Assessing requires outside context and criteria.  

5- AI can decide. A decision is a prediction plus an assessment. We are already using AI to make all sorts of decisions.

At some point everyone will have an algorithm that will maintain their health and wellness.

Health machine learning algorithms analyze medical data (e.g., imaging, lab results) to assist in diagnosing diseases and recommending treatments. Examples include detecting cancers in medical images and predicting the onset of diseases like diabetes.

The Major Attributes:

Data Collection- Gathers data from wearable devices, user inputs (e.g., age, weight, fitness goals), and external sources (e.g., weather, location).

Activity Tracking- Monitors physical activity, heart rate, sleep patterns, and calorie expenditure.

Personalized Recommendations- Uses machine learning to analyze data and suggest tailored workout plans, nutrition advice, and wellness tips.

Progress Monitoring- Tracks progress over time, providing feedback and adjusting recommendations as needed.

Customization- Offers personalized plans that are more effective than generic advice.

Motivation- Provides regular feedback and goals to keep users motivated.

Health Improvement- Helps users achieve better health outcomes through consistent, data-driven advice.

 As a business you should regularly update algorithms based on new research and user feedback to maintain accuracy. As a client using an intuitive user interface, ensure your data is encrypted and only accessible to authorized personnel.
