Dr. Ted Achacoso
Dr. Ted Achacoso is the founding pioneer of the clinical practice of Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe), which is the detection and correction of imbalances at the level of the metabolome.
His representative body of work includes a book containing the first ever neural circuitry database (“connectome”) for an organism, journal articles, US patents, software, grants, and recorded interviews, webcasts, and speaking engagements in the areas of:
– Artificial ethology, computational neuroethology (terms he coined), biomathematical modeling of nervous systems, and computability of consciousness,
– Medical informatics, medical decision-making, connectionist systems (neural networks, now called deep learning), and expert systems,
– Computer-assisted imaging, edge detection algorithms, and telehealth,
– Virtual group dynamics, communication, and collaboration methods (He created the first wireless groupware),
– Parallel, cluster, cloud, and distributed emergent computing,
– Predictive complex adaptive system modeling of financial time series, and
– Health optimization medicine including metabolomics, epigenetics, bioenergetics, gut microbiota, exposomics, chronobiology, and evolutionary medicine.
