People
Stewards carry care between visits.
Families, practitioners and communities contribute knowledge and continuity.
Health Care and Cultivation (HCC)
One person.
One evolving whole-person record.
Health is shaped by more than medical visits. IHAI explores how people's experiences, relationships and knowledge can stay connected over time.
The record belongs to the person, and the person decides how it is shared.
The problem
Care sees part of a person. Health happens in between.
An appointment captures symptoms and a diagnosis. Sleep, meals, family duties, work stress and the people who help us all shape health between visits.
- Visit
- Sleep
- Meals
- A long work shift
- Caring for a parent
- Daily practice
- A new job
- Time with friends
- Volunteer help
- Next visit
Our approach
Health is cared for in visits and cultivated across a life.
Health Care and Cultivation (HCC) connects professional care with everyday living, personal knowledge, relationships and responsible AI support.
The person
The record stays theirs.
An evolving record preserves context while the person keeps control over sharing.
AI support
AI organizes. People decide.
AI helps organize information and find gaps for human review.
The whole person
People live whole lives. The record should hold them.
Health connects to work, home, learning, relationships, community and purpose.
Work
Job, workload, rest
Live
Home, sleep, meals
Learn
Skills, self-knowledge
Serve
Community, faith, purpose

THE PERSON

How HCC works
Four steps, with a person in charge of each one.
Listen
The person shares their story and priorities in their own words.
Preserve
Each piece is kept with its source, date and domain.
Ask before sharing
Every use must answer who, what, where, when, why and how.
Support
Stewards and practitioners follow up.
Proposed integrated workflow. Its components are at different stages of development and testing; the full workflow is not yet in use.
Prototype
Try the HCC intake.
Choose a nickname, tell an invented story in your own words and watch it become a record that keeps those words. Switch to the steward, practitioner and coordinator views, and try TCM Insight for tongue, face and pulse observations.

Stewardship
Honor Humans.
Make All the Work Count.
A record preserves what matters. People make it meaningful.
Much of what keeps people well is done by people who are rarely recognized or rewarded. IHAI explores ways to preserve their contributions, support their knowledge and create meaningful roles in care and community life.
The person
Knows their own life better than anyone.
Families
Provide continuity across years.
Practitioners
Bring judgment and clinical care.
Communities
Volunteers, educators and faith groups who make care possible.
