These factors are known as the social determinants of health. Despite their importance, attempts to integrate the determinants into a single visualization have been limited.

GoInvo identified this gap based on their extensive work as a healthcare design studio and conducted a literature review of sources (World Health Organization and the Kaiser Family Foundation) and face to face interviews with public policy analysts, health IT experts, and clinical professionals. Relying on their experience of mapping complex systems within healthcare, GoInvo created a comprehensive open source visualization of the social determinants of health.

Smoking habits, sleep and exercise patterns, sexual activity, and mood levels are all examples of individual behavior, which is a critical determinant for our physical health, mental health, and overall well being. Positive changes to our individual behavior can reduce the risk for developing a variety of diseases, and many public health interventions have already focused on altering dangerous behaviors.
