"Personalized Lifestyle Vital Signs".

Is it time to update the definition of traditional generic vital signs?

Conventional medicine monitors vital signs that are truly vital to health. The definition of the vital sign has evolved over time, based on our ability to identify and measure key indicators of health and physical condition, related to essential body functions - body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate etc.

These vital signs are essential and meaningful in an ICU or emergency room setting to assess the risk to your health in the next second, minute or day. These are inadequate, perhaps even misleading if your doctor or you want to monitor the “vitality” of your health over months, years and decades.

Your conventional vital signs may be perfect, but you may be rapidly building plaque in your artery because of your genes, or putting on weight because of stress, or developing diabetes because of misalignment of food with your gut biome, then these vital signs that need to be measured and managed for your long term health. At Digbi Health we call them “Personalized Lifestyle Vitals” and science now has the ability to measure, track and modulate them.

It provides clinicians an easy, real-time, unprecedented, personalized systems view into their patient's genes, gut biome and the dynamics across food, prescribed pharma, stress, sleep, blood sugar, exercise.
