The Human Observatory: A Prospective Individual and Population-Level Study of Aging, Health, and Longevity
Longevity Metrics, Inc.
Summary
The Human Observatory Study is a prospective observational and ecological surveillance study building a continuously-updating world model for human health, disease, and death at the individual and population level. Individual multi-system clinical data from enrolled participants are linked to a continuously-ingested ecological data infrastructure spanning environmental exposures, social determinants, genealogical and family history records, mortality data, and population health databases at geographic resolutions from home address to global scale and beyond. The resulting model generates individual screening recommendations informed by population-level causal estimates, and population-level causal forecasts anchored by present-timepoint individual clinical biology. Thus creating a feedback architecture designed to improve both simultaneously.
Description
Existing approaches to human health prediction face a structural limitation: individual clinical studies measure biology without capturing the environment, while population epidemiology captures the environment without individual biological ground truth. The Human Observatory Study resolves this by operating at both levels simultaneously through a linked dual-layer architecture. At the individual level, participants enrolled in the 100-Year Human Aging Study contribute comprehensive multi-system health measurements. This includes clinical, physiological, cognitive, behavioral, social, occupat…
