Exploring Farradane's Relational Indexing in Consumer Health: Insights from Alzheimer’s Context

This presentation by D. Grant Campbell reviews Farradane’s relational indexing method within the context of consumer health, specifically focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease. Drawing from various resources including the ADAM Encyclopedia and testimonials from individuals affected by Alzheimer's, it examines whether Farradane’s relational matrix effectively reveals patterns and gaps in information. The study engages with the complex causes of Alzheimer’s, contemplating both genetic and environmental factors, and questions the applicability of indexing tools beyond traditional usage.
