my IRAD proposal slide six note
Here is the sixth slide note in my Human Health Graph proposal
Parents, single adults, relatives caring for their elders will have the platform to manage their and their children’s health while learning about the cause and effect of healthcare. The user based will become smarter and responsible patients, which makes tracking treatment and preventing diseases that much easier, hopefully less costly.
I pasted the content for this slide because the note doesn't reveal much.

my IRAD Proposal slide five note
Here is my fifth slide note in my Human Health Graph proposal
This isn’t a solution graphic as much as it is representation of the scalar (as opposed to an anthropometric or vector) human health graph. The area of the parallelogram represents the 2-D view of data volume possible during a life-death time. I need to illustrate a 3rd dimension to really bring the volume of data by type per unit type to life. Whether the data is measured or calculated from sensors | detectors | meters of any type, networked and coupled or not, in, on or off the body doesn’t matter. The reader needs to see a color map of my estimate of the number of measurands known to man as a function of time versus the number of measurements occurring. In the 2D graph, a dot would appear for one or more measurements or calculations during that interval. I want the baseline time interval to be one second meaning 3.15576 billion-second baseline (i.e., 100 Years)! Moreover, if you assume the number of affordable, probable intelligent simultaneous measures and calculated parameters for the human body & mind over all spatial and temporal scales during a century of life is 300 on average for any individual, each measurement-calculation second, consuming a centi-joule, weighing a megabyte (compressed and encrypted), spread over 100 kHz, and consuming one million instructions, implies the 100-Yr human health graph will consume 30 megajoules, weigh approximately 4 petabytes (10^15) and execute at least a peta instructions and floating point operations. Some unmetered amount of air time (RF bandwidth) will be used for subscription-based (fee for access) biotelemetry and biotelematics during the same life-death time.
The solution graph is found in previous post from last year. I'm working on an H-Anim humanoid to bring the idea to life. developing software to take most of the friction out of various quantified self real-time measurement threads to H-Anim files (XML documents in an native XML database or catalog of databases) is one hard part of this project.
my IRAD proposal slide four note
Here is the updated slide 4 note (potential solution and challenges) to my Human Health Graphs proposal
The human Health Graph is all about human health data and data structures! The solution to the problem starts with a 100-Yr baseline of those data for a healthy human that comes from a universal understanding of how to valid health of all types (mental, sexual, oral, etc.).
Since this note is so short here's the slide content
My theory is pan-awareness, animated, personalized, anthropometric interfaces for one’s simulatable digital human model will cause addiction to measuring their health at home and on the go up to an unknown yet varying plateau of minutes in a day during a lifetime and thus one’s bloodline. Moreover, such an interface will cause a significant increase in usage of extant and emerging biometric and health instruments to “fill in blanks (or biomarkers)” per se of one’s digital human model and in expectations for ever increasingly accurate animations and simulations of one anatomy, physiology and behavior.
Bundle software for health graphs with consumer-grade and commercial-grade 3D body scanners and skin imagers. Establish agreements with commercial and government entities to host these devices so they are as numerous and convenient as gas stations.
Catalyze the industries comprising the supply and value chains of data in a health graph to create and complete ISO standards for the ecosystem of services that reinforce continual measurement and exchange of measures for the benefit of managing one’s health, the health of their bloodline and public health by implementing artificial intelligence and various efficiencies.
Potential Challenges
Creating the data structures and algorithms to control the cross-platform avatar with awareness of user location & orientation, motion, date-time, health, constraints, and plan-goal.
Persuading hundreds in industries and government offices (e.g., hospitals, grocery stores, libraries, etc.) to agree to conspicuously integrate low-cost yet appealing 3D body scanners and skin imagers onto their premises and customer experience paradigm
Maintain backwards compatibility without significant user involvement or cost for services to upgrade legacy data (formats) and software technology
my IRAD proposal slide three note
Here is an updated slide three note of my IRAD proposal on Human Health Graphs
The time [seconds-minutes per datum], energy [watt-hours per datum] and effort [logins, mouse clicks, audible commands, keystrokes, gestures, etc.] to manage health data from disparate instruments, facilities (incl. the field), observers (i.e., self, medics, doctors, etc.), etc. hampers its synthesis and effective use during life and postmortem disposition. As of 01 Jan 2012, there are 133,871 unique measurands (variables, parameters, quantities, etc.) available from analog (876) and digital (9,876) instruments in the global medical device [~$200 B/yr] market place. I made up those figures but I would like to know how has taken on the challenge of tracking such factoids! If all types of instruments were used for a female (the stressing gender) during a 100-Yr life and death time in accordance with the 154 medical protocols for training, screening and treating females including my 22 measurement protocols, 63.987 TB of uncompressed data would comprise her health graph. Again, I fabricated the numbers to get past the paralysis of not finding summary stats for body & mind quantification with the latest measurement technologies' data generation extrapolated to the end of a 100-Yr baseline lifetime. The bevy of HealthIT apps have a intolerably high abandonment rate (>59% after 4 weeks) despite their relatively young time in the market (i.e., version and release histories, download rates and sales figures). I don't know the real numbers but I like the sentence. IP Watchdog, Mobile commerce daily, mHIMSS, et al who attempt to measure such behaviors and compute statistics report the reasons for abandonment are varied. Human health management support tools (in the hundreds) are not integrated and accessible via an anthropometric interface of oneself in HD graphic, acoustic and haptic modalities over large [10^9] dynamic ranges of time and space (i.e,. nano, micro, meso and macro). I have not found proof of what additional value (i.e., desired resiliency, immunity, conditions, performance, or outcomes) having such a management tool will bring over a 100-Yr lifetime—lower healthcare insurance premiums, less time spent on therapeutic healthcare, better plans for preventative and performance-enhancing healthcare, HD awareness causing less worry & stress about short or long-term effects of health history, etc. Nonetheless, I believe the abandonment rate of HealthIT apps can be solved by presenting many feature points with your animated virtual [or digital or synthetic for anthromorphic interfaces] self as the UI revolutionizing your UX. After all, how often do you abandon yourself!?! This strategy works with a unified data model for human health and healthcare, which don’t exist.
my IRAD proposal slide two note
Here's my note for slide two of the 9-slide IRAD Proposal for Human Health Graphs
No payer, provider or retailer has a data model and concomitant software package for the human being starting from zygote detection through postmortem disposition. The health and medical measurements of human bodies & behaviors with instruments and observations by humans (licensed, registered, certified, …) are segregated and have never been amassed under one document cover or hyperlinked via an age and gender dependent humanoid animation on the WWW. No one knows exactly how many measurements or instruments by type or category exist for the human body & behavior there are for any given date-time group let alone other attributes like costs to own (i.e., store, secure, etc.), operate, calibrate, etc. the instruments (sensors, detectors, etc.). Or the amount of hard or soft tissue, bodily fluid, gas, or electric or magnetic field strength required for a given [in situ or remote] measurement. How long is the measurement for a given accuracy or precision? Health Graphs abolish the centricities of the day in HealtIT, those being: geo-location, payer, treatment, conflict, technology, facility, vehicle, age, activity, employment status, organization, health condition, provider etc. Health Graphs are singularly aimed at the cycle of life and death for the human body and its behavior from single cell fertilization to sealed urn post cremation (or buried body postmortem examination).
my IRAD proposal slide one note
Last year I responded to a invitation for IRAD proposals. I submitted one but I didn't receive any useful feedback. Tell me what you think about my idea based on the notes in the 9-slide deck.
Extant health records (aka. Electronic Medical Record, Personal Health Record, Electronic Patient Record, …) are without anthropometric interfaces for the patient, the payers or the providers. I assert such an interface with data structures for real-time 3D visualization (graphics), 3D auralization & sonification (acoustics) and haptic feedback (haptics) is the key to user addiction and viral adoption of health graphs into life management including postmortem disposition for all ages (zygote to super centenarian) and genders shortly after its initial release. The term record connotes the past and health graph is a term for connoting the future through postmortem disposition along with the past—your health and that of your bloodline. Moreover, serving customers via health graphs will catalyze the industries for digital human models, which human simulation and humanoid animation software and services, many Cloud based but others locally executed, will capitalize for acute and novel events in peoples’ lives. More health data (primitive and derived) equates to more revenue and profit for everyone in the chains (supply, value, …) of those data. No one knows how much health data from instruments and recorded human observations are generated as a function of age and gender amongst other subcategories during a 100-Yr lifetime including postmortem disposition so this project will create a baseline to frame the business case for developing the technology needed for health graph software and health management services during a century of life then postmortem disposition.

1,000 unpublished requirements later...
Exactly what I thought 11 months ago when I believed I would exercise the discipline necessary to moderate my everyday health-related experiences worthy of being Human Health Graph requirements. I did not write down 1,000 HHG requirements during the past 11 months but I did think of a few hundred I wish blogged. Not too long ago, I did upgrade to SparxSystems Enterprise Architect 9 (EA v10 was released this week) and develop 15 HHG Use Cases. Most of the year I've been hunting for catalogs, registries, lists, databases, and tables of biometric quadruples--biostructure-biosignal-biosensor-biostatistic. I've had no luck finding them thus far. I've haphazardly asked officials in government healthcare, CXOs in healthcare IT, university professors and germane technologists I have access to in my job. It's sad and funny at the same time how the human as a self-contained package of life is measured and observed throughout its life into postmortem for the purposes of scientific inquiry and commercial endeavor yet all those who take away measurements and observables do not have a platform to integrate those collections so they can be anthropometrically rendered in real-time (or not), possibly via an anthropomorphic display.
