Philosophy

The Institute for Human Optimization seeks to DEFINE wellness utilizing an N of 1, personalized approach to scientific wellness. N-of-1 or single subject clinical trials consider an individual patient as the sole unit of observation in a clinical investigation utilizing individualized molecular determinants of health.

The ultimate goal of an n-of-1 trial is to determine the optimal or best intervention for an individual patient using objective data-driven criteria.
