Editor's Notes

  1. A new low-cost tool now in development has the potential to address these challenges and drive ROI for wellness to new heights. The tool uses minimally invasive technologies, common to the medical community for more than 40 years, to allow employees easy access to their personal biometrics. These personal biometrics are the common metabolic indicators associated with most health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, kidney failure, cancer, cognitive decline and more. With objective monitoring of these personal biometrics (referred to as Lifestyle Performance Indicators), an individual’s trend toward disease can be predicted even before onset of symptoms or signs. Frequent and easy access to their own biology will involve employees in evidence-based lifestyle management, encouraging decisions that optimize prevention. How hard can it be to define and track gene expression? If we restrict ourselves to the gene expression that only accounts for many common adverse health outcomes such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many cancers, gene expression tracking and modifying may be entirely doable. Here again, recent medical research suggests that the aforementioned list of outcomes are not predated by separated events but that they be the result of metabolic events which share considerable overlap. Progressive Insulin resistance (IR) burden is increasingly associated with multiple adverse health outcomes such as Diabetes[42], Heart Disease[43-51], stroke[52] many cancers[53-59], liver disease, renal failure and cognitive decline[60-63]. Moreover, IR can be tracked using common clinical markers [64-69] . Thus the current Health Risk Assessment (HRA) which relies largely upon self-reported data such as daily minutes spent walking can be upgraded via sensor-based approaches. The pedometer can wirelessly upload objective data regarding number of steps per day and the biological response to said level of activity can be track through changes in IR burden via quarterly home-collection biometric monitoring technology. Perhaps more importantly, these remote technologies will soon spontaneously upload sensor data to Personally Controlled Health Records. Through tracking of periodic health response (IR change) to specific health modifying efforts, individuals will become their own best health advocate. Personal health literacy, health engagement and perception of personal control over health are expected to be greatly enhanced. TM uses a home-collection system to track his lifestyle burden as his brother was diagnosed with Heart Disease 2 years ago. Now he values his continua pedometer and weight scale. TM has determined that he just needs to keep his step# at 12,000/day and his weight below 240 lbs to avoid any deterioration in his modifiable health. TM has self-selected options that would fit his lifestyle. When his “numbers “deteriorate he adds on a Continua stationary bike for an added workout until he is able to “flat line again”.
