　　摘要：

　　Health and well-being are shaped by how lifestyle and the environment interact with biological machines. A navigational paradigm can help users reach a specific health goal by using constantly captured measurements to estimate how their health is continuously changing and provide actionable guidance. Norbert Weiner said “To live effectively is to live with adequate information.” Individuals create and consume more diverse data about themselves today than any time in history. Sources of this data include wearable devices, images, social media, geo-spatial information and more. A tremendous opportunity rests within cross-modal data analysis that leverages existing domain knowledge methods to understand and guide human health. Especially in chronic diseases, current medical practice uses a combination of sparse hospital based biological metrics (blood tests, expensive imaging, etc.) to understand the evolving health status of an individual. Future health systems must integrate data created at the individual level to better understand health status perpetually, especially in a cybernetic framework. And, in this talk, a navigational approach to Health will be discussed to improve quality of life with multi-source data from daily life.
