  • (1888PressRelease) April 14, 2011 - Today, the lifecentral group announced the immediate availability of the world's first lifestyle database. The system allows any Internet user to reveal previously undiscoverable correlations between his or her activities, meals, moods, medications, and more.

    lifecentral, available at http://www.lifecentral.info/, provides users with an easy-to-use and intuitive interface for entering data about every aspect of their lives. In just five minutes per day, a user can enter everything he or she has done, eaten, felt, and taken during that day. After a sufficient amount of data has been entered, users can then produce reports to examine correlations between aspects of their lives that they had previously been unable to discover. These correlations are often more precise than the generalized advice offered by medical professionals that is not tailored to a person's unique physiology.

    "Some of the revelations I learned through lifecentral are amazing," said Christopher Sokolowski, who discovered that of every activity in which he participates, attending college classes is least likely to leave him feeling frustrated - a discovery which made him more confident in his career path. Christopher entered one month's worth of his personal life into the lifecentral system in a private test during March 2011, and users can examine some of his entries for themselves at http://www.lifecentral.info/entries?view_username=Chris&activities=true&foods=true&moods=true&symptoms=true&drugs=true&date=1300492800000.

    A sample report that compares Christopher's sleep schedule to time spent playing video games during March is available at http://www.lifecentral.info/reports/frequency?view_username=Chris&mindate=1298955600000&maxdate=1301630400000&granularity=d&yaxis=28,3&generated=1.

    Widespread usage of lifecentral may reveal aggregate trends to the medical community that warrant further research. "Today, scientists identify topics for research through guesswork and the limited findings of previous papers," said lifecentral developer Stephen Sokolowski. "Revealing lifestyle effects on human health through such a large data repository could lead scientists to promising research and exciting discoveries."

    Accounts at lifecentral are free to any user over 13 years of age. Users may choose to keep their data private on secure servers, to share data with selected friends, or to make their data available to the world. lifecentral does not mandate the entry of personally identifiable information, so users may elect to track data anonymously. lifecentral will never reveal individual, nonaggregate data to anyone. Data is available to export to external software such as Microsoft Excel if users wish to generate reports that are not available on the lifecentral site.
