Axis PO · S — Spirit · Body integrity
The body, measured against itself.
For two centuries, "physical health" meant a height, a weight, and a blood pressure cuff. We use 47 signals across heart, lungs, sleep, body composition, recovery, and movement — refreshed continuously from your wearables, occasionally from labs, and weighted by personal trajectory rather than population averages.
Spirit factor in the base. The body is the temple: heart, breath, sleep, composition, recovery.
Forty-seven physiological signals, sourced from wearables you already own and labs you visit anyway. No new devices required for a baseline; better instrumentation only sharpens the picture.
From signals to a single value.
Each signal contributes a weighted partial score. The axis aggregates them and clamps to 0–100. Here's a worked example for a real (anonymized) patient on this axis today:
Sample contribution
Where it lands in CH
This axis contributes S in the equation. With S=87.2 and Sp=72 (Spirit), and C=2.1 (Connection), the (S × Sp)C term contributes ~64.3 weighted points to today's CH score.

A typical week, on the axis.
No single day defines you. A consistent week does. Here's what consistent looks like — and the HCR you'd earn for it.
The pay ladder.
Every action is verified against your wearables — no honor system, no self-report. HCR pays once, in real time, settled to chain. Always free to receive — patients never pay to earn HCR, and clinics never see a bill for hosting it.
All payouts settle to the patient's HCR wallet within 24 hours of verification. HCR is redeemable for care, contributions to a Conceptual Health pharmacy account, or held as a long-term reserve.
For providers ordering on this axis.
For Conceptual Health-credentialed clinicians: this is the recommended order-of-operations on this axis. Free to use, no certification required, no software to install — the protocol lives inside the EHR you already use through us.
Physiological Optimization · clinical sequence
- Pull the patient's 90-day PO trace from the EHR — it's there automatically. No portal, no PDF.
- Identify the dominant drag — usually one of: sleep architecture, HRV, BP, or VO₂ max.
- Order one targeted lift: a sleep-tracking band, a Z2 protocol, a BP medication adjustment, or a 12-week strength plan.
- Set a 4-week review. The axis updates daily, so you'll see the gradient inside the chart, not at follow-up.
- If the lift holds for 8 weeks, the patient mints HCR for the improvement. They walk in healthier and slightly richer.
The peer-reviewed evidence base.
Every signal we score has a literature trail. These are the foundational papers we cite in our scoring model documentation. Our full bibliography (404 references) is available in the methodology appendix.
One real (anonymized) trajectory.
Names changed. Numbers verified. A composite from three patients with similar starting conditions — the chart, the intervention, and the outcome.
Maya R., 47, Tampa
"I didn't need a new gym. I needed a chart that actually changed when I did something. Eighteen weeks later my BP is normal, my VO₂ is up 6 points, and I've minted enough HCR to cover six months of supplements."
What you can study, and how.
Available in the HCC research portal under axis=PO. Patients control consent at the variable level — toggle off anything you don't want shared. Research access is available to credentialed institutions through the HCC research portal — pay-per-query, patient revenue-shared.

Standards we conform to.
No new yardsticks. We map every signal on this axis to existing peer-reviewed instruments and regulatory norms — the same instruments your clinician learned in residency.

The other seven axes
Eight axes. One score. Each pulls.
Health is multi-dimensional. PO is one of eight. The Master Equation weights them, multiplies them, and gives you and your clinician a single number — and the ability to see exactly which axis is moving it.
