Phenotypic integrated social search database and method
A method for generating correlations between human biological phenotype and human behavioral and/or emotional phenotype, and optionally to temporal location, comprising the steps of correlating data on biological phenotype with survey-based data on behavioral and/or emotional phenotype. The data on biological phenotype is collected from a sample from an individual, and the survey-based data can be collected from answers to behavioral and emotional questions from the individual or from observations of the individual by a third party. Correlations can further be used to predict behavior, including preferences, wellness needs and desires, and/or emotions. Feedback, advice and guidance can be provided to individuals based on such correlations. Such correlations are further useful for product and service providers and industries for purposes of standardizing or rating product quality and efficacy, and/or for promotion and selling purposes. A database comprising the data on biological phenotype and survey-based data is also provided.
1. A database comprising information identifying a plurality of human subjects, data on biological phenotype of the plurality of subjects, survey-based data on behavioral and/or emotional phenotype of the plurality of subjects, and correlations between the data on biological phenotype from the plurality of subjects and the survey-based data on behavioral and/or emotional phenotype from the plurality of subjects,
wherein the data on biological phenotype is collected from a plurality of samples from the plurality of subjects,
the survey-based data is collected from answers to social behavioral and emotional questions from the plurality of subjects or from observations of the plurality of subjects by a third party, and
the sample and the survey-based data are collected simultaneously so that a temporal biologic condition or state is correlated with behavior and/or emotion,
wherein the database is configured to evolve when additional sample and survey-based data is added to the sample and survey-based data from the plurality of subjects by correlating the updated sample and survey-based data wherein the correlations are configured for use to provide feedback or guidance to the subject, to provide information to a product provider or a service provider for use in marketing and/or selling of products and/or services, to provide a product provider or service provider with information useful in grading or rating products or services, or to provide a product provider or service provider with information useful to design new and/or better products or services.
2. The database of claim 1 , further comprising temporal location information for the subject, and wherein the temporal location information is collected simultaneously with the sample and survey-based data.
3. The database of claim 1 , wherein the database is configured to continue to accept new data selected from the group consisting of data on biological phenotype of the subject, survey-based data on behavioral and/or emotional phenotype, data on map locations, and data on environmental factors.
4. The database of claim 3 , wherein the database is configured to evolve to include at least one new correlation based on new data that is accepted.
