PersonalizedHealthNavigation (PHN) Food & NutritionWorkshop

October 13-14, 2023 in Tokyo

Food & Nutrition (F&N is one – if not THE – primary factor in an individual's overall health and wellness, and is often a key element of any healthcare treatment protocol. When looking at the broad field of health informatics, though, and focusing on the crucial aspect of F&N, it is one of the least understood and under standardized aspects of health information technology systems. A good example is looking at the nutrition labeling on packaged foods. Though there is an entire industry dedicated to the analysis of food products and accurate creation of these labels, and though many government regulatory agencies have guidance and code to which industry must comply, and even though the increasingly health-conscious public has demanded many restaurants publish (somewhere) the nutritional content of their menu items – when reviewing the specification maturity, state of interoperability and even intelligence of the implementation technologies, it is clear that F&N is not only far behind other health informatics disciplines, but there are significant gaps in understanding how best to address this important area of health.

Personalized Health Navigation (PHN) enables individuals to pursue their own health, wellness and healthcare goals using well established navigational technologies. (Note: Consult the HL7 PHN Bibliography & Resources confluence section for a broad range of background materials.)

To address this understanding "gap" and establish a strategy for how to advance health informatics standardization and implementation technologies ...
