The Research Projects of the Laboratory for Quantitative Medicine
By Staff Reporters
According to Tom Goetz, new online decision tools like LifeMath.net, a project of Harvard University’s Laboratory for Quantitative Medicine, take advantage of cheap computer processing power to crunch data into personalized medical recommendations, making it far more relevant than generic advice (and thus much more likely to result in lasting change, addressing what doctors call “the compliance problem”).
These and other tools use technology for what it’s good at. They put the tools directly in our hands, and get us engaged in our health before we need the expertise of specialists. Of course, this is the stuff of participatory and Health 2.0 collaborative medicine.
Research Areas
There are five areas of focus for the project:
- Laboratory and Quantitative Medicine
- Binary Biology
- Cancer Math
- Preventative Math
- Health Communications Technology
Assessment
