Medicine X ED 2018: Project Apollo - Pioneering the future of CARE...Panel Discussion

Project Apollo will attempt to pioneer a new model of care by redefining the doctor-patient relationship using Human Data Exploration (HDE) and the model of N=1 research with the goal to achieve sustainable health throughout the lifespan of an individual. Patients, research scientists, and physicians will all co-create a collaborate team to work together towards a journey to health.
Co-creation of a multi-disciplinary collaborative team for an “N=1” personalized program of a journey to health incorporating different healing modalities guided by quantified evidence-based data for the individual patient. This will create a crossroads between exceptional patients (Personal Health Pioneers “PHPs”), clinical providers, and research scientists within the field of Integrative Health and Medicine. The outcome of this effort will be to have the collaborative team focus on the journey of health for each patient. Advanced data analytics will be used to quantify several aspects of each patient’s journey to explore and implement a more holistic, integrated, and sustainable approach to health and well-being.

Project Apollo patients will meet on a regular basis not only with their physician, but also with each other, and with research scientists thus co-creating a larger group of medical support where all aspects of health and wellness are explored. Patients will become their own health advocate and be empowered to explore their diagnosis and look for healthy lifestyle interventions to produce change.

Project Apollo has ability to become a role model for N=1 research projects. Participants will collaborate with different research labs and will learn the art of “citizen science” and conduct valid experiments for outcome measures regarding social, economic, community, and environmental variables for integrative health and wellness.
