Scientific Content#
Myths, Doubts, Preoccupations & Recommendations
- Set of main talking points around health and food
- Common myths and doubts that may be preventing you from improving
- General recommendations
Tool for validating scientific evidence:
- Search the knowledge graph of the input
-
For each item, retrieve relevant information (for and against) from trusted sources
- If there is no data, return unknown
-
Validate whether the hypothesis is consistent with the evidence
- List issues and caveats for the hypothesis. For example sex, age, region specific considerations
- Use the hierarchy, quality and amount of evidence, along with the alignment with research to determine a consensus score
Evidence: ScientificArticles/Search/AI-Q&A/EvidenceHierarchy
- Diseases/RiskFactors/BodyParts/Externalities
-
Health score based on markers
- Blood
- Strength
- Mental State
- Sleep
- Resource Use for foods
