Topic: [ANN][ICO] EHF eHealth First - page 89. (Read 97846 times)
With so many post count, i wonder what this project was. Why wasn't it listed in other cryptocurrency exchange? I tried searching at coinmarketcap but got no luck. Is this an ETH token?
it is nice to see that the team is a bit more active with the community, the answers of prof. Arnold Mitnitsky really does reflect on the interaction between mathematical models and the fight against aging, his comments are very interesting...
This is already at least something. They should've done it much earlier, but better later than never, right?

It's nice to see that the team become more active and interacts with the community, I would like to hope that the conditions during the next ICO round will be favorable and the project will receive many investors.
Thanks for posting this, an interesting read! Glad that dev finally shows a sign of life.
Yes, the news give another spirit to all of us to keep supporting the project. Indeed this news will worth a lot at the current situation when a lot projects seem to be so silent.
Good to see there are real professionals involved in this project, there are a lot of interesting things you can learn here. Hope they will be able to realise their knowledge and turn this platform to successful one.
Ok some new, but what about the MVP and the software part? Is there any info, anybody is working on it? Nobody is working on it? What is the plan?
I hope that is some of those standard pictures and not actually from eHealth, that code looks like a mess

Hi everyone!
EHF Advisor, prof. Arnold Mitnitsky answers questions about aging, frailty index, longevity, mathematical models that help to understand and fight against aging.
Take a look at the 2nd part of his comments.
4. How aging could be measured?
Aging could be measured in many ways at the different levels. Our approach is to sum up multiple health attributes of the various nature (for simplicity, they should be dichotomized). The fraction of health deficits from the total number of health attributes (known as a frailty index or FI) is associated with multiple adverse outcomes (mortality, length or stay in hospital, morbidities). Thus, the FI is a useful (and holistic) utility measure that represents the state of health of the entire organism. There are several other measures that are in some use although not as widespread as the FI. One such measure is the DNA Methylation age that is based on the characteristics of epigenetic system. The other measures of the rate of aging, i.e. the different indices of biological age based on the batteries of biomarkers (e.g., obtained from the blood tests). The comparison of these measures has yet to be done in order to understand the advantages and limitation of each of them.
5. What about Frailty Index?
The frailty index (FI) is a measure of health of individuals (health utility) based on the accumulation of deficit approach. The FI is the ratio of health deficits present in an individual to the total number of deficits available in the database or in the study. The FI lies between 0 (no deficits present) to 1 (all deficits present) although empirical limit of the FI is close to 0.7 – the higher values of FI are incompatible with life. The frailty index is a robust predictor of adverse outcomes, such as mortality, and increasingly used in many epidemiological and clinical studies. The term includes “frailty” to reflect the vulnerability to stresses during the aging process, and “index” reflects the degree of such vulnerability. The FI should not be confused with the Frailty Phenotype which is a simple tool constructed from 5 characteristics of physical functioning although less comprehensive and less powerful than the FI. The FI is a measure of the global damage of the organism, it is not only empirically validated in multiple settings but also has a strong theoretical support in the new complex dynamical network model of aging and frailty developed by our group.
6. Why math models could help us fighting aging?
Mathematical modeling become increasingly popular in many areas of science and technology. There is a strong needs for that. In general, mathematical modeling is a central part of the theoretical advances in science. As people say: “Nothing is more practical than a good theory” (Kurt Lewin). As for controlling /postponing/ slowing aging (that I would prefer to “fighting aging”, “combating aging”, and such) the mathematical model is the only thing that allows to understand the processes under investigation, especially the processes involved the complex interactions and nonlinearities, like aging. Without modeling, what we have instead would be a bunch of semantical statements without the possibility to be tested (or falsified). If we do understand the aging process we can do something to modify it. Otherwise, we will be drown in the deep and murky waters of complexity and to fight with each other, instead of fighting aging (as often goes and goes on).

in fact is a lot of time that the team does not show up, or at least that i do not read any news on any channel concerning the project, would serve an official statement with the current status of work progress and also the amount of investment received, any partnerships...
Is there any other way the team is communicating nowadays? Blog Twitter, telegram, pigeon? Or the latest news are found just in here?
Nickolay seems to be active sometimes on their telegram channel but there aren't any news either, probably at the moment they don't have anything new to tell us.

Actually, I'm looking out for team members who are maintaining this thread...
A lot of activity in here, but lesser response from the team itself.
I'm convinced the project is going well, but might be interesting to see someone that takes care of the investors/community members

We are patiently wait for the team to be available to give us with the recent news related the development of the project. But frankly, too much idle will lead us to the doubtness and it could ruin everything.
I agree with you on that. They did give an update more than a month ago but, after since nothing. This kind of silence is not good for the project.
