The health revolution: Crowdsourcing health research


Turning health issues into opportunities



Nobody likes being stuck with a medical condition. Participating in a traditional clinical research study could be a way of turning those painful experiences into something positive but finding a research project to participate in can be very difficult. MyAIGuide is offering a new alternative: crowdsourcing health research.



Studying ourselves


Instead of letting scientists come up with new solutions all by themselves, we will study ourselves and collaborate with scientists. Studying ourselves starts with observation: with the internet and the cheap technologies now available, we can easily collect unprecedented amounts of health data about ourselves. We will then use this data to better understand ourselves and find new solutions to our problems.



Improving your current health and investing in your future health



If you start collecting data about yourself with us, we can already start giving you personalized health recommendations based on what you tracked! By collecting data with us, you will also be investing in your future health. In the not so distant future, it should progressively become possible to use your health and fitness data to help you avoid getting sick, tailor treatments to your specific needs, and help you get better when you get sick. The more data you collect now, the better we will be able to help you in the future.



Helping science is helping yourself



We need to access large amounts of health data, aggregated from different sources, to push science forward and ultimately find new treatments to diseases. We are committed to push science forward by using a similar method to what's been described in Wired. This will ultimately help everyone, including you, when new treatments and new solutions emerge.



Another issue: the privatization of health data



Big tech companies are gathering massive amounts of health data about you and keep it for themselves in closed-loop systems. As John T. Wilbanks and Eric J. Topol explained here, this will harm research and widen inequalities. Furthermore, many companies are selling your health data as explained here, here and here: it's your data, but you are not getting anything out of it!



Our commitment to data freedom


We, on the other hand, will always act as transparently as possible and keep your health as our top priority. We will break the closed-loop systems created by big tech companies and make health data accessible and useful while keeping your best interest as our top priority. With your consent, we will let scientific research organizations and non-profits access your data for the lowest price possible, ideally for free (if you authorize us to do so). We will also give you the opportunity to open-source your data or to sell it to commercial third-parties if you want.



To summarize



Through MyAIGuide, you can turn the painful experience of having a medical condition into something positive by participating in crowdsourced health research projects. We will also give you personalized advice to help you improve your health. MyAIGuide is committed to transparency, innovation, science, health and to making health data universally available and useful while keeping the best interest of participants as the top priority.
