A Navigational Approach to Health
arXiv:1805.05402
Abstract
What if an app could guide you to better health, similar to how GPS navigation directs you to your desired destination? What if the app could use real-time information to redirect you around a disease, just as you're rerouted to avoid traffic? What if the app could provide step-by-step directions to get you to your optimal health state, whether you're a professional athlete or retires school teacher? We discuss how this navigational approach to healthcare could become a reality by combining technology with well-established cybernetics principles.
