I've seen the LifeGraph and Health Singularity mentioned in the whitepaper...

Could you elaborate on them? What is the vision? And why they matter?

Health Singularity is the idea that healthcare will soon be personalized down to each individual. Providers will no longer create treatment plans based on a particular diagnosis, or even based on similar groups of people with a particular diagnosis. Theyll be able to create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored for you, based on everything about you: your genomic and proteomic profile, your medical history, your familys medical history, your lifestyle, etc.

But there are two things that have to be in place in order for Health Singularity to become a reality. First, the system needs to have enough data about each person that it can create a complete picture of that person the more data is included, the more personalized the care can be. Second, there needs to be a complete profile for tens of thousands, or even millions of other people, so the system can find hidden trends and build predictive models. The more people are in the system, the more accurate the predictive models will be, and the more personalized care can become.

So heres where LifeGraphs come in. The BurstIQ platform builds a LifeGraph for each person. The LifeGraph brings together data from all sorts of different sources: your primary care provider, your specialist doctors, that ER you visited once when you were on vacation, your dentist, your psychiatrist, your pharmacy, your pedometer, your glucometer it can even pull in data from your social network accounts, if you choose to add those. By bringing together all of this data from different sources, the platform creates a complete picture of you your LifeGraph. The more data is in each LifeGraph, and the more LifeGraphs there are, the closer we get to being able to achieve the Health Singularity.

Thanks for the extensive and prompt reply, appreciated, helps me a lot to understand.

I have a couple more questions in light of recent security breaches not only with health data but with data in general (read Equifax):

What sort of emerging trends and challenges exist around health data security and breaches?

How is BurstIQ seeking to address these concerns?
