“Populomics”: 

'Populomics' New eHealth solutions may soon permit the real-time integrative utilization of vast amounts of behavioral-, biological-, and community-level information in ways not previously possible. Behavioral algorithms and decision support tools for scientists could facilitate the analysis and interpretation of population level data to enable the development of 'community (population) arrays' or community-wide risk profiles, which in turn could form the foundation of a new 'populomics.' -- Gibbons, 2005

Obstacles to Population Health: 

Obstacles to Population Health Discontinuity among levels of analysis (cell  person  system) Disincentives for 'team science' Absence of shared ontologies and vocabularies Balkanized knowledge bases Lack of a coordinated 'presentation layer' to policy makers, planners Redundancy and lack of coordination in field-initiated research Excessive time lag from discovery to delivery (AHRQ estimates 18 years)

Modeling: 

Modeling Economic Modeling Exist because of unit of measures € ¥ $ £ Different but comparable Don’t loose identity or nationality Population Science Doesn’t have unit of measure yet Shells, beads, bobbles

Standards and Vocabularies are Crucial Requirements: 

Standards and Vocabularies are Crucial Requirements Population data is non-comparable Systems cannot interchange data Secondary uses (Research) are not possible Linkage to decisions support is not possible Health outcomes cannot expand to individuals and policy makers Without Standards…..
