I dread the idea of having to navigate the current US healthcare system in circumstances like that.
One drawback that occurs to me about the idea of projecting lifespan/healthspan is that with the data you'd need, you get into PHI territory pretty quickly right?
- themacguffinman 5y agoYeah that's probably protected data. I'm not a lawyer but maybe it could still work if you don't store the health data and just use it to locally generate adjustments (or maybe just store the health parts in-browser but keep the generated financial adjustments in the cloud). The more accurate your projection model, the more personal data it'll have to factor in.
- scubakid 5y agoAnyone happen to know what the standard is for when something officially counts as data collection? i.e. do you always have to send things sever-side before it counts? With all the fuss about things like cookies, I wouldn't even be that surprised if a form input that went nowhere could somehow still get you in trouble.

- scubakid 5y agoLetting the user pick from preset mortality tables seems like a pretty sensible approach to me. Thanks for the link; bookmarked!
