Data Feed
Data Feed
The Data Feed is OmegaX’s central mechanism for collecting and standardizing every piece of health-related information. This includes wearable metrics, medical records, lab results, symptom journals, and more. By consolidating all of these data streams into a single, continuous feed, we can support real-time AI insights and proactive user engagement.
What is the Data Feed?
Think of the Data Feed as a living timeline of each user’s health. Whenever a new piece of information arrives—be it a blood pressure reading, a PDF lab report, or a symptom entry—the Data Feed integrates that update into a coherent, chronological record.
Holistic Understanding: Fragmented data makes it impossible to see health trends in context (e.g., stress levels vs. heart rate changes).
Real-Time AI: AI can only act proactively if it’s aware of all relevant signals the moment they come in.
Medical Continuity: Providers who access a user’s OmegaX data get a single source of truth, rather than scattered bits from different apps or wearables.
Data Sources
OmegaX integrates multiple data streams into the feed:
OmegaX connects to Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, and smartwatches to pull in real-time health data.
Tracks steps, active minutes, and workouts to monitor movement levels.
Heart rate monitoring includes resting heart rate, variability, and stress indicators.
Sleep tracking helps analyze sleep patterns and detect irregularities.
Data updates continuously or in short intervals, depending on the device. This helps detect trends in fitness, recovery, and overall health without users having to log anything manually.
Data Standardization
Unit Normalization
Standardizes vitals to avoid inconsistencies across devices.
Converts BP from kPa to mmHg, glucose from mmol/L to mg/dL.
Metadata Augmentation
Adds timestamps, time zones, and device IDs for better tracking.
Tags a heart rate reading as “post-exercise”, ensuring AI interprets context correctly.
Quality Checks
Detects outliers and eliminates duplicates.
Flags a 500 bpm heart rate as invalid or removes overlapping entries.
Example Data Flow
Timeline & Visualization
The Data Feed is organized as a chronological sequence of entries:
Heart rate: 90 bpm (9:00 AM) → Blood Pressure: 130/80 (9:30 AM) → Symptom: Mild headache (10:00 AM)
Each event is accompanied by metadata (source, category) and can be filtered or grouped in the frontend. The AI Doctor regularly scans these entries to detect unusual patterns or significant changes.
Clinical Reliability: For official medical decisions, the AI Doctor cross-references multiple data points. A single outlier reading may trigger a recheck, but it will not generate an immediate medical alert unless it is drastically abnormal.
Real-Time Updates
Once a new data point is added:
This continuous cycle ensures that no data—however small—goes unnoticed. By layering all input sources into one feed, OmegaX creates a dynamic, ever-evolving health portrait that positions users (and their providers) to anticipate and prevent problems, not just react to them.
