Vital Signs: OpenSearch and Bioobservability

Vital Signs: OpenSearch and Bioobservability - Nate Boot, OpenSearch The observability principle isn’t just a tech buzzword - it actually originates from control theory and systems engineering. Despite being also widely used in software engineering, what it really refers to is how well you can infer the internal state of a system based on its external outputs. From this has come the idea of bio observability. Applying these same theories to the human body. In so many words, this is exactly what doctors do. This session will focus on the idea of using OpenSearch as an observability tool for the human body. I’m not talking about inserting chips into our heads, but rather how OpenSearch could be easily used to maintain a record of / provide insight about the internal state of our bodies by applying the principle of observability biologically instead of to software and engineering. I hope to cover what things will likely make this easier to accomplish with OpenSearch, what the hurdles likely are, as well as the other areas of our decaying organic matter to which this might be applied. For instance, mental health. Is OpenSearch ready to handle this kind of workload? Let’s look at the options!
