Behavioral health indicators may also be generated using a food behavior health indicator, a lifestyle health indicator, an activity health indicator, and a body metric health indicator. De facto health indicators represent a degree to which the one or more persons are observably healthy and are generated based on health sector data. Composite health indicators represent a holistic and complete picture of current and future health and are generated based on behavioral health indicator and de facto health indicator.

  • Patent number: 11682498
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of Actinium-225 from a Radium-226 containing material. Radium-226 containing starting target material is shielded with a thermal neutron absorption shield and is subjected to neutron irradiation from a moderated nuclear reactor. Radium-226 is thereby converted into Radium-225 to provide a Radium-225-containing material. The Radium-225 in the Radium-225 containing material is allowed to decay into Actinium-225, and the Actinium-225 is isolated from the Radium-225 containing material. The neutron absorption shield shields the starting target material from neutrons having an energy in the range of 20 eV to 1000 eV.
