Project Baseline: Alphabet's five-year plan to map the entire journey of human health
An ambitious collaboration between US universities and Google-offshoot Alphabet's life sciences arm is aiming to map the factors that contribute to good health, and illness.
If you've ever been in hospital or found yourself with a major illness, you'll know how often doctors will check up on you: recording your pulse, measuring your weight, ordering blood tests, and taking samples.
That means doctors have a pretty good idea of what seriously ill looks like. However, they don't have the same level of detail about what a generally healthy person looks like -- the medical profession spends a lot less time and attention taking details from people that aren't obviously unwell./.../
