Another Lifelong vision
⏮️Back to Personal EU
Concept: "Personal EU health"
Although the truth about everything in our state of health always travels with us, inside us, we hardly have a clue of what is happening there. Having become wiser, wider, and quicker from the pandemics of the digital decade, it would be time for us to think about lifelong health care from an essential personal perspective because health is the sum of its personal parts. The European Union, as an international community that is leading the way and struggling with aging, would naturally break new ground through the close cooperation of its experts.
Lifelong updated "Virtual me" as the center of all healthcare:
Our increasingly technology-oriented health care could start to take shape shortly after birth by "vaccinating" a personal chip to be placed under the skin, a "virtual self", which
would act as a continuous sensor of many body functions and
would also be updated at every doctor's visit throughout life!
The virtual self would be an anatomical self-portrait on a timeline that can be followed on display devices. You could
scroll it on the time axis and
layer by layer from the skin to the muscles, organs, nerves, bones - and
details, where you could see the interaction of different levels on a micro level.
The virtual self would act, grow and develop like a person in general - and
automatically get its unique characteristics from all your health and fitness measurement data throughout life:
gender
height and weight
locality
DNA
blood group
the whole spectrum of blood values from blood tests
vision values
hearing values
respiratory values
heart functions
blood pressure
brain functions
oral conditions from the dentist
influenza with medicines and their effects
first aid and stitches
bone fractures and breaks
anesthesia
surgeries with aftercare
pimples, tumors
surgeries with after-effects and medications
fitness and its effects
physiotherapy with effects
medicines with and without a prescription
nutritional values and health effects of food habits and supplements
measurement results from own smart devices
self-care measurements
signs of age
hospital treatments
death
My guide list aims to describe what would make this "virtual me" so relevant. There are already virtual bodies on the Internet that can be rotated, viewed in layers, updated on the timeline, and even downloaded freely.
Updating information in such a body is a clear and compact challenge for the homo sapiens experts of the artificial intelligence-assisted information society. It can also be considered "the most important game in the world" and invite our best game developers to major programming workshops.
A target group of eight billion people is quite a fascinating potential. And our own European Union is ideally compact for system development. Promoting health and vitality around this model should be fairly streamlined and cost-effective.
You could think of it as a multi-layered GPS traffic map from within. The task would be to make everything there work smoothly and safely.
As far-fetched as it sounds, I hope that everyone working in healthcare, fitness, and mental health and its direction, as well as in the software industry with their offspring, would see this vision and ask themselves and each other how to be an enthusiastic implementer of the game – and how.
The more widely we start discussing the "virtual me" as the engine of our health care, the more naturally we will make the whole PPPP (Politic-Public-Private-Person) cooperation together want and implement it.
So tell all EU-level industry projects about the virtual me and also work to develop the interaction between them.
