  13. Lifecycle of a health condition Pre-clinical (80%) Clinical (20%) Preventive medicine Self-tracking Wellness profiling Health community collaboration Applied healthspan engineering Traditional medicine Disease treatment Medical expertise Emergency Exceptions Goal: decrease in clinical conditions over time # conditions becoming clinical Time

  14. Genotype Phenotype Intervention Outcome + + = Genome hacking philosophy • Goal: preventive medicine • Realize preventive medicine by establishing baseline markers of wellness and pre-clinical interventions • Generalized hypothesis • One or more polymorphisms may result in out-of-bounds baseline levels of phenotypic markers. These levels may be improved through personalized intervention. Source: http://diygenomics.pbworks.com/MTHFR

  15. Vitamin B deficiency / MTHFR mutation • Do common mutations in the MTHFR gene prevent vitamin B from working correctly? • Test whether 2 variations in the MTHFR gene keep vitamin B9 (folic acid) from being metabolized into its active form (folate) • rs1801133/C677T • rs1801131/A1298C • Without this form of vitamin B, homocysteine may accumulate (risk of cardiovascular disease, etc.) • 50% or more of the population may have some form of MTHFR polymorphism Source: http://diygenomics.pbworks.com/MTHFR

  21. Scaling citizen science • Engaging participants and building trust • Innovating the Institutional Review Board • Accessing blood tests 2.0 • Developing a philosophy of epistemology of citizen science Image credit: http://slobodkina.com

  22. Engaging personal health collaborators • Participation must be fun and easy • Relevant value proposition to target market • Crowdsourcing the value chain: data, questions, financing, analysis • Nomenclature framing: enhancement, optimization Image credit: http://www.superstock.com

Innovating the research model Traditional Research Model Citizen Science Research Model Citizen ethicists FAQs Institutional Review Board (IRB) Institutional PI (principal investigator) Patient advocacy groups Research foundations Social VC Crowd-sourcing Citizen scientists Investigators = Participants Grant funding Journal publication Self publishing Research subjects

  27. Health hackers need Blood Tests 2.0 • Low-cost home-administered self-read finger-stick blood, urine, saliva tests: • Traditional blood tests (Homocysteine, Vitamin B-12, Folate, Vitamin D, Creatinine, eGFR, Cortisol, Calcium, Iron, Aldosterone) • Hormones (Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, Estradiol) • Immune system: CD4, CD8/CD28 ratio, IL-1, IL-6 • Chemical / heavy metal burden: mercury, cadmium, lead, tin

  28. Towards an epistemology of citizen science • Provide a structure and context for self-derived health knowledge • Q1: Are new kinds of knowledge are being formed through group collaborations such as wikipedia and health social networks? • Q2: Are there differences in the types of knowledge generated by traditional medicine, self-experimentation, and health collaboration communities?
