Brief Summary
The Human Observatory Study is a prospective observational and ecological surveillance study building a continuously-updating world model for human health, disease, and death at the individual and population level. Individual multi-system clinical data from enrolled participants are linked to a continuously-ingested ecological data infrastructure spanning environmental exposures, social determinants, genealogical and family history records, mortality data, and population health databases at geographic resolutions from home address to global scale and beyond. The resulting model generates individual screening recommendations informed by population-level causal estimates, and population-level causal forecasts anchored by present-timepoint individual clinical biology. Thus creating a feedback architecture designed to improve both simultaneously.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Life Expectancy Estimates by Geography
Continuously-updated life expectancy point estimates with credible intervals generated at individual, neighborhood, ZIP code, county, state, national, global, and beyond-earth scales using individual clinical data linked to population mortality records, environmental context, and ecological data.
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Geographic Disease Cluster and Outbreak Detection
Statistically anomalous concentrations of incident disease, mortality spikes, or shared symptom patterns at neighborhood and community resolution.
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Individual Screening Recommendation Accuracy
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Causal Effect Estimates for Modifiable Exposures
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Geographic Variation in Disability-Free Life Expectancy
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Health Equity Characterization
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years
Human Tree of Life Growth
From enrollment until death, assessed periodically, up to 100 years

Interventions
Linkage of individual multi-system clinical health measurements to continuously-ingested ecological data from public and private registries spanning environmental, social, genealogical, and population health domains at geographic resolutions from home address to global scale and beyond. The linked dataset feeds a continuously-updating causal inference engine generating life expectancy estimates, disease cluster detection, individual screening recommendations, and population health intelligence.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants of all ages, health statuses, and demographic backgrounds enrolled in the 100-Year Human Aging Study at any fixed or mobile clinical site, plus participants completing the online health screener. No exclusions based on health status, geographic location, language, or population group. The ecological surveillance layer requires no individual enrollment.
You may qualify if:
- Enrolled in the 100-Year Human Aging Study at any fixed or mobile clinical site; OR completion of online health screener with provision of geographic anchor data and consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Age under 18 years (current protocol; pediatric amendment planned).
