The world lacks a single objective metric that defines “health”
Our activities
Fundamental Theory
Our work starts with the idea that the human body functions as a complex “black box”. By analyzing the signals it generates, we aim to decode patterns and dynamics that demonstrate how the body truly behaves as an interconnected system.
Computational Algorithms
We have developed numerous quantitative algorithms to measure and interpret physiological signals with greater accuracy. These offer new ways to interpret the true state of health of the human body, as well as other complex systems.
Research & Publications
We apply and test our concepts and algorithms in real-world settings through research and publications, establishing a foundation for the development of new, more accessible healthcare treatments and protocols.
Our work
Theory of Complexity
Underpinning all of our work is our Theory of Complexity, an alternative way of looking at system-level health—like that of the human body—that offers potential for major breakthroughs in healthcare and beyond.
Notable achievements
Some of our key contributions to the scientific understanding of human physiology and health.
About
The Center for Dynamical Biomarkers (DBIOM) was founded by Prof. Chung-Kang Peng at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. We combine principles from traditional Eastern medicine with modern scientific rigor in our quest to unlock new possibilities in human health.
