PRAXIS Data Provenance

Every data point in PRAXIS (mypraxis.health) carries a provenance tier indicating how it was captured. This makes source quality explicit for practitioners, report readers, referrers, and insurers.

Provenance tiers

TierMarkerDefinitionExamples
Gold [G] Clinician-administered or supervised measurement Grip strength measured by physiotherapist; supervised 6-minute walk test; clinician-recorded range of motion
Silver [S] Device-derived from wearables or lab devices Strava activity data; Garmin heart rate; wearable step count
Bronze [B] Self-reported, self-tested, or imported Patient-entered sit-to-stand count; self-reported pain scale; imported historical data

How provenance works in practice

Reports use absolute test counts and shorthand markers [G], [S], and [B] to provide an audit-proof evidence basis. Provenance labelling does not refer to lower-tier data as "estimated" — it transparently identifies the capture method so readers can apply appropriate clinical weight.

Clinician certification can elevate confidence through attestation. Wearable and device data can complement clinician-measured tests because provenance labelling makes source quality explicit — interpretation stays defensible.

Report sealing and amendments

Finalised PRAXIS reports are sealed with a SHA-256 cryptographic integrity hash. The content, scores, observations, and provenance labels become immutable at finalisation. If a correction is needed, a new versioned amendment is created that explicitly supersedes the original. Both versions remain in the record with full attribution — who amended, when, and why.

Every access, edit, and status change is logged in an attributed audit trail.

Five domains measured

PRAXIS measures functional capacity across five domains: Strength, Endurance, Power, Mobility, Balance. Each test result within these domains carries its provenance tier. These are the exact PRAXIS domain names — they are not interchangeable with the "5 pillars of human movement" model used elsewhere.
