Today, I sat in on a meeting and was able to assist in giving input. We were determining how to decide the “degree of badness” for different problems. This is because currently, how bad problems such as diabetes are is on a stepwise scale: if you have a rating of 20.0, you’re on the very high side of normal, but if you go to 20.1, you’re terrible. We are trying to determine what the best way of measuring how bad a problem is without it being a stepwise function. After the meeting, I continued working on the girth calculation equation and programming a way to input all girth calculations into our stat sheet with every person in it.
