(title is a work in progress)
This is likely a vision for bridging (depicted in green in diagram below) the human aspects of coaching (being) & science of wellbeing.
This is a possible analogy between the human elements of coaching (empowerment, being self-directed, social commons) and juncture of biocomputational science (deep learning, medicine, neuroscience, therapy, mental health) in the spirit of data ownership (extensible future)
The Divide
- augmentation - providing tools to augment one’s journey to wellbeing
- empowers individuals to be self-directed, self-reliant, self-sourcing, create their own solutions
- coaching
- social commons
- learning together [in public] (Digital Gardening)
- the goal is to make it easier for individual to sift through what seems like an overwhelming amount of information (and find information/knowledge they otherwise wouldn’t find (perhaps due to cognition fixation. See Scaling up analogical innovation with crowds and AI)
- “surveillance care”
- brings deep learning (A.I.) to tangibly address the State of Shallow Medicine
- akin to targeted ads on Facebook (attention extraction model)
- giving machines as much data as possible
- inherent biases in algorithms built by human beings
- risk of "malpractice" at a whole new scale
- data/model is an approximation of reality (at best)
- fidelity of model
- reality is always changing
- The Patient Will See You Now
- ideal for life-threatening issues
- speed is of the essence
- more accurate diagnosis
- accelerated diagnosis
- reducing overhead of one’s path to diagnosis (research, travel, visits, misdiagnosis)
Electronic Wellbeing Record (EWR)
(This diagram started as an inquiry into one’s role in wellbeing)

- EWR is a play on the acronym of EHR (electronic healthcare record)
- EWR is hypothetical extension to how EHR looks today
- EWR is an abstraction
- interchangeable to any wellbeing framework an individual (or community) feels at home with
- This EWR is in the context of The 5 Essential Elements of Wellbeing
- proposed starting point grounded in existing research
- perhaps known as EW5R (electronic wellbeing 5 record) to keep it distinct
- WYL is Weave Your Legacy
- placeholder for a holistic wellbeing framework (interchangeable)
- leads the inception of a Wellbeing 5 Advisory (intended to be human-driven with option to add machine agents to democratize access at scale)
- Deep Medicine addresses our State of Shallow Medicine
