The innovative, first-ever Healthy Behaviors Knowledge Base will be a scientifically and clinically-validated compilation of knowledge about how different key lifestyle behaviors impact the body to produce positive and negative health consequences. This is intended to be an evidence-based authoritative central resource to help change the model of health care, providing health care professionals new diagnostic indicators that point to simple, elegant and effective treatment options. Validating the critical impact of lifestyle behaviors will persuade physicians as well as consumers to “prescribe” lifestyle changes before turning to medical options. To the extent the HBKB is used in medical school training and by physicians, it will HELP CHANGE HEALTH OUTCOMES STARTING FROM THE “TOP DOWN”. For a fuller description see Knowledge Base
The Magic: Future Steps
Ultimately, we will develop a computerized expert system in lifestyle-health consequences that extends the reliability, validity and range of the HBKB to actual “prescription quality” for physicians to enable not only confidence, but legal protection in writing prescriptions for lifestyle behaviors before drugs or surgery. This will cost a LOT of money!
