Summary of the Research Infrastructure

 

Title of Research:
Data Collection and Assembly Efforts to Obtain the Highest Concentrations of Person-Centered Big-to-Massive-to-Humungous Data (PCBD) for a Longitudinal Study of the Social, Behavioral, and Healthcare Processes Data Chains (SBHPDC)

​

I.    Overview
 

Collaborating with a network of Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) and research organizations, Bayana Corp. is doing research involving 1,000,000 homes in all 50 States. The expected start date is April 2025. The goal is to collect and compile PCBD, which is one of the primary sources for the longitudinal study of SBHPDC. By September 2025, BC will finish the computational tools and a software platform to collect and begin the sharing of both the PCB-Database and the SBHPDC.
 

For the initial PCBD, BC will recruit a minimum of 1,000,000 people and 20,000 homes per State. The PCBD involves the collection of consumption, exposure, and immersion (CEI) data:

• Consumption means the purchase (e.g. Walmart, Costco, Amazon, etc.) and use of products (e.g. rice, bread, milk, etc.) for meals.

• Exposure means products (e.g. shampoo, soap, lotion, etc.) people use on their body.

• Immersion refers to chemicals (e.g. chlorine, fluoride, etc.) in water and the environment.

 

II.    Intellectual Merit
 

Americans have an average lifespan of 78 years. About 90% of human life is spent indoors, where the highest concentration of PCBD are found. American homes have more PCBD than clinics, hospitals or laboratories. Ironically, hardly any collective social, behavioral, and healthcare PCB-Databases exist. Combined with technologies, however, PCBD can transform any home from a simple abode into the center of Massive-to-Humungous-Data collection and analytics, including but not limited to SBHPDC.

The novel theoretical concept BC uses is the SBHPDC – inter-related information from individuals and groups’ CEI and PCBD. Altogether, the CEI, PCBD, and SBHPDC can help assess many of the healthcare and medical industry’s greatest challenges, at a fraction of the costs. The SBHPDC goes beyond Artificial Intelligence (AI). Most, if not all, AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), especially in the healthcare and medical industries, do not enable academic and scientific reproducibility.

​

III.    Broader Impacts
 

This research is part of BC’s innovative reimagining of the entire world’s social, behavioral, and healthcare processes and systems. The SBHPDC is ideal for organizations with closed and internally-dedicated healthcare systems that include all branches of the US military, Federal, State, and local law enforcers and entities. Food and beverage, home building, and retail industries may eventually link their respective databases to the CEI, PCBD, and/or SBHPDC.

IV.     Examples of Key Longitudinal Surveys and Panel Studies that Provide Researchers with Data on how American Society Functions and Changes Over Time:*

 ​

• The American National Election Study, which started in 1948 and has been funded by NSF since 1977, provides “gold standard” data on voting, public opinion, and political participation in U.S. national elections.

• The General Social Survey, a nationally representative interview survey of the U.S. adult population, collects data on a wide range of topics and has been funded by NSF since its inception in 1972.

• The Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of U.S. families begun in 1968 (with NSF taking over most of its funding in 1980) collects data on a wide array of economic, social and health factors.
