A complete consumer solution for high quality health experiments
UNDERSTANDING
can come from unexpected places, from connections and correlations that await discovery. When we think about complex problems such as pain, we’d like to be able to use any type of relevant data to help us solve the problem: pain assessment, nutrition, daily schedule, heart rate, body temperature, sleep, mood, medications, and many other variables could be key to answering our questions. For people dealing with pain, the complexity of tracking and understanding is a key barrier to progress, since our experience of pain can be influenced by our genes, attitudes toward hardship, health conditions, stress, depression, and other behavioral, cultural, and emotional factors.
GREAT TOOLS
to collect data are becoming ubiquitous, but combining the data from different systems and developing good practical methods for using the data to answer relevant questions is beyond the ability of most of us working on our own.
PANACEA
can assist people in understanding how their lifestyle affects their pain by providing a global picture of their health and behavior. Panacea combines up-to-date technology and human assistance to deliver individually customized research to people dealing with pain. We go from start to finish: First, our team reviews the customer’s information and designs a study that meets their needs, including a protocol for logging information and dedicated technicians to log data by transcribing subjective information into quantitive information.

We supply an account on our digital health platform customized around the protocol, with our technicians supporting data aggregation, reminders, and data cleansing and visualization. The role of Panacea is to answer questions with data, supporting new insights and treatment options with individualized n-of-1 personal science.
