There has been a dramatic breakthrough involving a new direction in health care far beyond anything we have ever seen to date. In fact its features are so encompassing and so promising that at this time its ultimate degree of success is impossible to comprehend. This along, with the previous article, discusses the underlying strength of such a system--how could such an outstanding system be possible? How is it logically based? The core of the proposed system is based on a special application of clinical laboratory science, with the use of a very large profile (100 tests). This application would be able to extract an enormous amount of health data from such a profile. Hopefully, the following will explain how and why. First, whenever we have multiple tests within our current medical system, we evaluate the tests as a whole. Each one has to be taken into account, but also weighed in relation to the rest of the tests. Let's take a look at a situation that most of us are very familiar with. Among other considerations, common tests by our doctor during an office visit are body temperature and two blood pressure measurements. The number of test level graduations used here for each test would be ten. As an example let's say your body temperature was very high, at 106. Now that in itself would of course be very significant, but it would obviously not provide the doctor with enough information for an accurate diagnosis. Say we now bring the two blood pressure tests both into the picture. Now we have three test results involved and if the results of any one of the three would vary significantly it could obviously affect the diagnosis. Most of us realize how important each of these test results can be. So, the diagnosis is, in effect, limited to the relationship of the individual test results to each other. It is the relationship of the tests that are analyzed for the diagnostic results. For simplification purpose we will refer to this relationship as the combination of the test results. We can see that each combination of test level results could represent a certain health related condition--this would be especially true with the normal use of more tests. Furthermore, to illustrate the rapid buildup of test result data, it's difficult to believe that in this limited three test example that mathematically we actually have 1000 possible combinations involved. These are combinations that could be read by a computer for possible meaningful results. All 1000 combinations would not likely provide meaningful information and of course could be eliminated where it was shown that those particular combinations were of little or no value. However, one could expect a large percentage to be of significance, especially so if the computer was used to also correlate all of the possible results directly to human health conditions. Now let's apply this same consideration to the much larger 100 test profile. The 3 test had 10 possible graduations each, whereas the 100 profile will only have 5. If we apply the math to this 100 test profile we actually have ten trillion possible combinations. As with the 3 test example, where all 1000 would not likely be of significance, here again neither would all 10 trillion combinations. However, it is obvious that this provides an enormous amount of very relevant data, data that is directly tied to the inter workings of the human organism. Furthermore, the reliability and value of this data has been firmly established over the years as a vital branch of the current medical system. Although this means of testing a person provides an enormous base of vital health data, obviously a very special electronic processing system is required. An exciting new direction in health care far beyond anything we have ever seen to date. In fact its features are so encompassing and so promising that at this time its ultimate degree of success is impossible to comprehend. |
