Abstract: The invention relates generally to a system and methods by which a microbiome-based action component may be developed that is useful in order to establish, restore, promote, or maintain patient health. More specifically, the system and methods of the present invention may be used to develop a microbiome-based action component that efficiently summarizes the state of a patient's microbiome and whether and to what extent inflammation exists in the patient's intestines. Such an efficient summary may be used to render more immediate health care to the patient. Certain specific embodiments of the present invention may be used to facilitate the development a microbiome-based action component that provides, in addition to the efficient summary, a patient-specific, personalized microbiome health plan that includes options that may be followed in order that the patient may achieve personal health, growth, and development goals given the state of the patient's microbiome and intestinal inflammation.
