| # Open Biohacking Data Project Methodology | |
| The Open Biohacking Data Project is designed to organize consumer wellness technology information into structured, human-readable and machine-readable reference formats. | |
| This methodology document explains how Holistix approaches dataset organization, labeling, versioning, safety framing, and public updates. | |
| ## Project Purpose | |
| The purpose of this project is to make wellness technology information easier to reference, compare, maintain, and update across common consumer biohacking categories. | |
| The project focuses on educational organization, not medical instruction. | |
| ## Dataset Categories | |
| Current dataset categories include: | |
| - PEMF frequency references | |
| - PEMF contraindication references | |
| - Red light therapy dose references | |
| - Hydrogen water references | |
| - Infrared therapy references | |
| - Terahertz wellness device references | |
| - Negative ion safety references | |
| - Blue light therapy references | |
| ## Dataset Format | |
| Datasets may be maintained in formats such as: | |
| - CSV | |
| - JSON | |
| - Markdown documentation | |
| - Human-readable web reference pages | |
| CSV files are intended to support simple tabular review. | |
| JSON files are intended to support machine-readable reference use. | |
| Markdown files are intended to explain scope, safety framing, update history, and human-readable methodology. | |
| ## Naming Conventions | |
| Dataset filenames should use lowercase words separated by hyphens. | |
| Examples: | |
| - `pemf-frequency-index.csv` | |
| - `pemf-frequency-index.json` | |
| - `red-light-dose-index.csv` | |
| - `hydrogen-water-reference-index.json` | |
| Folder names should describe the wellness technology category clearly. | |
| Examples: | |
| - `pemf` | |
| - `red-light` | |
| - `hydrogen-water` | |
| - `infrared` | |
| - `terahertz` | |
| - `negative-ion` | |
| - `blue-light` | |
| ## Educational Framing | |
| The project uses conservative wellness language. | |
| Datasets should avoid claims that a wellness device diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents disease. | |
| Where appropriate, dataset notes should distinguish between: | |
| - Educational reference information | |
| - Consumer device-use education | |
| - Safety considerations | |
| - Medical claims, which should be avoided | |
| ## Safety Framing | |
| Datasets may include safety notes where relevant. | |
| Common safety-related categories may include: | |
| - Pregnancy | |
| - Implanted medical devices | |
| - Pacemakers | |
| - Serious medical conditions | |
| - Prescription medication use | |
| - Skin sensitivity | |
| - Heat sensitivity | |
| - Eye protection | |
| - Conservative beginner use | |
| Safety notes are intended to encourage caution and professional guidance where appropriate. They are not personalized medical advice. | |
| ## Source and Maintenance Approach | |
| This repository is maintained by Holistix. | |
| Datasets may be updated when: | |
| - Public Holistix reference pages are updated | |
| - New wellness technology categories are added | |
| - Dataset formatting is improved | |
| - Safety notes are clarified | |
| - Product education pages are expanded | |
| - CSV or JSON versions are refreshed | |
| Meaningful updates should be recorded in `VERSION_HISTORY.md`. | |
| ## Versioning | |
| Version history should include: | |
| - Date of update | |
| - Dataset or category changed | |
| - Summary of the change | |
| - Whether the update changed structure, wording, safety notes, or file format | |
| Minor typo fixes may not require a full version entry unless they affect meaning. | |
