A Cybernetic Approach to Controlling Health Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
In developed countries like USA, where the literacy rate is more than 95%, people know that adopting a healthy lifestyle eliminates the risk of chronic health problems to a large extent. However they do not follow a healthy lifestyle. Why? The answer is that people are addicted to an unhealthy lifestyle. For examplepeople are addicted to sleeping in the couch and that is why they do not exercise. People are addicted to eating high calories food that makes them obese and prone to heart problems. Addiction is a condition in which the desire/craving to repeat an addicted behavior consistently exceeds the ability to stop doing so [3]. When the more you have, the more you need to achieve the same effect. This effect can be modeled as a positive feedback loop where the desire keeps increasing in a loop.

متن کاملA Dynamic Cybernetic Approach: Optimal Control for Predicting Regulatory Metabolism Actions
In this work, a dynamic cybernetic modeling framework is introduced for in silico experimentation in the absence of partial kinetic information. In this method, cybernetic principles are employed, assuming that the biological system is evolved such that it optimizes a metabolic objective function. Based on this objective function, the missing dynamic information is evaluated through a dynamic o...
