Compare your self to the average person? Posted: 02-29-08 10:57am
I don't know if this will make any sense,
but here goes...
What if, you could somehow, create a
section that lists normal attributes, for
a forum, so people can compare them to
thier own to get a quick assessment wether
they need to see a doctor/shrink? Almost
like a Health FAQ? That can be filled up
as people get answers so others can make
easy use of them?
Something like...
The average carpul index is ... blah ...
The average human urinates ... blah ...
times a day
The average human will suffer from
depression at least once in their
lifetime.
The average human will think of suicide
... blah ... times in their lifetime.
The average female will start to have
morning sickness ... blah ... days after
conceiving.
I'm thinking of...instead of a 'Symptom
Checkker'...the opposite...more like
'Normalsy Checkker'? I know it almost
kinda like a "Did you know?" thing...but
that's not what I am after.
Tell me if this makes sens...or remove the
post if it's utter nonsense

No, that makes sense... and is a genius
idea! It would take some programming,
though. I'll share it with the team here
and get back to you.
Kudos!

You're a programmer, right? Do you think
that this would take very long to develop?

Hehe....that all depends on the system and
what the system infrastructure is
like...but as far as I can think, the most
you would need is a db-structure, front
end for the site-users to add categories,
sub-categories, attributes and attribute
values and even comments (Although
comments should be limited to factual
comments and not discussions) and then
have an index with search &
cross-referencing capabilities.
For the most part it would just be simple
data-capture/lookup so there shouldn't be
too much coding involved in terms of
creating class-structures and complex data
manipulation.
So depending on the person's confidence
with the system-structure and the amount
of functionality envissaged for the end
product, it should not take all that long.
All in all, a week for a person that
knows the system inside and out...barring
addition of known content if deemed
necissary.
I don't know if ehealthforum runs off of
it, but there is a great CMS (Content
Management System) called "Joomla!"
(http://www.joomla.org/)...it's quite easy
to use and you get a huge array of addons
- such as forums etc...but you need a
webserver with php and MySQL to run it
(Although service providers for the
hosting of Joomla! pages, that carries the
necissary software and support, is popping
up like mushrooms)
Hope that answers your question...I tend
to confuse people a lot as I have BPII and
possibly even ADHD which makes it hard for
me to keep my thaughts on track...(I end
up thinking faster than I write/type )

That's really good information. Thanks
for your thoughts and sharing your
development knowledge with us. We like
programmers over here. We're a bunch of
nerds who drink tea and coffee together.
Maybe one day you can join us!

Yeah --- and things are looking MUCH
better in the coming couple of years, what
with a global recession on our hands.
This kind of application would be GREAT,
though...I wonder where we could get the
data from for the averages?
