What is the Health Manager?

Health Manager is a clinically relevant, patient-oriented decision tool that shows, predicts, and helps people with their health status.

• uses and updates the longitudinal, standard patient health record
• asks for and attends to patient needs and advice
• occasionally asks for clarification (and patient-generated data)
• shows more, tells less
• optimizes the software's own behavior around the patient's behavior
• speaks in simple terms (5th grade English, to start)
• inputs and outputs via sound, voice/speech, visuals, etc (whatever modality works best for the human)
• measures health status (by minute, hour, day, week, etc)
• continuously evolves the patient care plan

System Principles

• Accept any data, and output standardized, structured data (FHIR v4, USCDI v2)
• Use and make open source care algorithms [licensed under Apache v2]
• Patients own their health data
• "Nothing about me, without me" - all uses of a patients' health data shall be consented in advance by the patient, other than uses required by law
• Only handle information once

Design Principles

• Build trust
• Promote self-care
• It's all about you
• Actionable on day 1, life-changing by year 1
• Design for everyday life
• Design for sampling
