"Computer scientist Larry Smarr and osteopathic physician Michael Kurisu present a vision for healthcare that combines the best of allopathic and osteopathic medicine by using a more personalized, hands-on, systems-based approach to treating patients. They demonstrate this proof of concept with details on how Smarr diagnosed his own Crohn's disease by using blood and stool tests to track changes in his body. And when the symptoms became too severe, Smarr collaborated with his surgeon, Sonia Ramamoorthy, MD, to plan the operation based on 3D images of his organs created at his research institute, Calit2 at UC San Diego. Kurisu then introduces Project Apollo, a group of patients inspired by Smarr who are collecting their own data to develop personalized treatments for their particular conditions.

"After 20 years at UC San Diego, Larry Smarr will step down as the director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and retire as a distinguished professor from the Jacobs School of Engineering's Computer Science and Engineering Department at the end of this month. Dr. Ramesh Rao, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering, will serve as interim director of Calit2, in addition to his current position as the director of the Qualcomm Institute."

"Understanding how life uses time to improve health, education, and the world. Life on Earth is the living embodiment of information's value. Now that individuals generate data across time with digital trails and wearable sensors, we can begin to see how humans evolved to use time to orchestrate their bodies. Modern life often conflicts with natural time by imposing social demands that go against the rhythms of our bodies. The more we learn about time in our lives (and the lives of all organisms), the more informed can be our personal and societal choices about how we use time in this modern context for which we are not so well adapted. Ongoing projects are listed below, but are not exhaustive. While they may seem disparate, they are united in generating examples of the opportunities that incorporating biological time seems to offer across fields and across populations. I encourage any and all to reach out if they are interested in biological time and/or how data can influence your life. Student projects are welcome, as are academic and private collaborations with a goal of sharing information."

" "The Future Patient, The Future Doctor: A Healthy Relationship" Over the past year, a select group of patients has coalesced to form something groundbreaking - Project Apollo, a movement to build a robust, longitudinal picture of health and wellness for each patient. Future patients will take an active role in their own health, co-creating a team of healthcare providers and using data from family, caregivers, community, and the environment to guide them through a quantified journey of health.

"We are a pattern discovery company. We find novel patterns in complex data that cannot be discovered using conventional techniques or tools, even on exascale computers. We are not just another machine learning or AI company: we developed a proprietary, end-to-end system for generating new hypotheses and insights from data to help you transform your research or business. Our hypothesis-generating engine is prompting new ways of assessing and solving some of the most difficult and entrenched problems in medical research."
