A systematic and objective approach to enhancing physiological function and well-being through the continuous collection, analysis, and clinical interpretation of biological, lifestyle, and performance data. This method utilizes quantifiable metrics from advanced lab work, wearables, and genomic profiling to inform precise, individualized interventions. It transforms subjective experience into actionable clinical insights.
Origin
The term reflects the intersection of personalized medicine, the quantified self-movement, and clinical informatics, emphasizing the use of empirical evidence to guide health decisions. Its philosophical roots lie in the application of scientific method and systems biology to human physiology. The ‘self-optimization’ component highlights the proactive, performance-oriented goal of the endeavor.
Mechanism
The process operates by establishing a baseline physiological profile through comprehensive diagnostic testing, followed by the implementation of targeted protocols, often including hormonal or nutritional adjustments. Data from subsequent testing and continuous monitoring is used in a feedback loop to iteratively refine the intervention, ensuring maximal efficacy and minimizing adverse effects. This mechanism relies on biomarkers to track progress toward specific health and longevity endpoints.
