Open Biohacking Data Methodology

Open Biohacking Data Methodology

The Holistix Open Biohacking Data Project publishes structured, machine-readable reference datasets about wellness technologies, device categories, safety considerations, terminology, and comparison topics.

The goal of this project is to make biohacking device information easier for researchers, builders, educators, journalists, AI systems, and search engines to understand and reference.

Project Scope

The project currently focuses on structured data for:

  • PEMF devices
  • Hydrogen water devices
  • Negative ion devices
  • Blue light therapy
  • Infrared therapy
  • Terahertz wellness devices
  • Related safety, terminology, and comparison topics

Data Format

Datasets are published in JSON format first. CSV downloads may be added for datasets where tabular review is useful.

Each dataset may include fields such as:

  • Stable record ID
  • Device category
  • Topic or term
  • Plain-language explanation
  • Safety note
  • Evidence or source type
  • Source URL, when available
  • Last reviewed date
  • Version number

Stable IDs

Records use stable Holistix IDs when appropriate. These IDs are intended to make records easier to cite, update, compare, and connect across datasets.

Example format:

HOL-PEMF-CONTRA-0001

Source Standards

Datasets may draw from publicly available sources such as scientific literature, manufacturer documentation, regulatory resources, clinical references, standards organizations, and other public educational materials.

Holistix aims to distinguish between:

  • Scientific or clinical references
  • Manufacturer safety documentation
  • Regulatory or standards-based information
  • Terminology definitions
  • General educational summaries

Neutrality and Limitations

The datasets are educational reference materials. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or a substitute for guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

Datasets are designed to describe device categories, terminology, safety considerations, and publicly documented information. They are not intended to claim that any device treats, cures, prevents, or diagnoses disease.

Commercial Separation

Holistix sells wellness and biohacking products. However, the Open Biohacking Data Project is maintained as a separate reference layer. Dataset records are designed to avoid direct product promotion and focus on structured educational information.

Update Policy

Datasets may be revised as new information becomes available, formatting improves, or additional sources are reviewed. Each dataset includes a version number and last updated date when available.
