Langevin, M.D. As health care providers and researchers, we often struggle to capture the full picture of an individualâs overall health. Thatâs why Iâm excited to introduce the Whole Person Health Index (WPHI)âa new survey tool that integrates individual-level biological and behavioral factors for use in research, public health, and patient care. The WPHI is a simple self-report survey tool that provides a comprehensive snapshot of a person's health. What makes this tool particularly powerful is its versatility. Health care providers and researchers can track changes over time, while patients gain valuable insights into their own health journey. The WPHI can serve as an anchor or reference point for connecting diverse health data, all while keeping the individualâs personal health perspective at its core. |
