How does sorting by impact work?

In Genaty's app, the sorting by impact feature is designed to prioritize and display health reports, recommendations, and genetic information based on their relevance and potential impact on your health. Here’s how this advanced sorting algorithm works:

Key Components of the Impact Sorting Algorithm

1. Influence on Human Health:

   • The science team at Genaty assesses each health report to determine its influence on overall human health. This evaluation helps to prioritize reports that could have a more significant impact on your well-being.

     Individual Risks:

   • Personalization is crucial. The algorithm considers your unique health risks associated with every report, ensuring the information you receive is most relevant to your individual health profile.

What is an Impact Score?

• Score Range: Impact scores are assigned on a scale from 0 to 5, where 5 indicates the highest potential impact on your health and 0 indicates minimal impact.
• Measurement-Based Assignment: When a health report affects measurable aspects of health (like cholesterol levels), these measurements are used to determine the impact score. For instance, a recommendation that significantly reduces cholesterol will receive a higher impact score than one with a modest effect.
• Subjective Measures: For aspects like stress or mood, which are harder to measure directly, the impact score is based on the effectiveness relative to other treatments or recommendations. The most effective ones receive the highest scores.

How Does the Sorting Algorithm Operate?

• Prioritization of Risks: The algorithm prioritizes health risks, placing the most influential reports on your health and those with higher personal risks at the top of the list. Reports are then organized from the highest to the lowest risk score.
• Equal Risks Handling: When several risks are of equal importance, the algorithm prioritizes reports where your personal risk is higher.

Where You'll Experience the New Sorting Logic

This sorting logic is integrated across various sections of the app where personalized health reports are generated:

• Health Reports Page: Look for the "Impact" filter to see reports ordered by their impact scores.

• Category Filters: Within each health category (like Heart & Blood Vessels, Brain Health, etc.), reports are sorted to highlight those most relevant to you based on your genetic profile and health data.
