Part I — Human Foundations

  1. PART I — Human FoundationsHolistic Care begins with the person and the circumstances around their life. Awareness makes relevant information understandable and usable. Behavioral Influence asks what makes a worthwhile next step possible and freely…
  2. Chapter 1Holistic Care — See the PersonThe central idea: Before organizing care around a condition, understand the person whose life the care is entering.
  3. Chapter 2Awareness — Make Understanding PossibleThe central idea: Information only helps when someone can understand what it means for them.
  4. Chapter 3Behavioral Influence — Support the Next Chosen StepThe central idea: Before asking someone to change, understand what is getting in the way.
  5. Chapter 4Communications — Help People Feel HeardWhat you’ll explore: How to make room for concerns, disagree respectfully, repair misunderstandings, and turn general offers into dependable commitments. Follow Pat’s family as they discover that sharing care means sharing…
  6. Chapter 5Community — Make Belonging PracticalThe central idea: Care becomes stronger when people know how they can help—and how they can belong.

Part II — Putting Care into Practice

  1. PART II — Putting Care into PracticeEngagements asks what makes each encounter worthwhile. Pathways connects encounters through time and responsibility. Technology examines whether people can reach and use the support. Care AI assists preparation with reviewed…
  2. Chapter 6Engagements — Make Each Interaction WorthwhileThe central idea: Do not ask for someone’s attention unless you have something worthwhile to give back.
  3. Chapter 7Pathways — Turn Good Intentions into Supported ProgressThe central idea: A pathway connects useful information, human relationships, and practical support into a planned sequence that can change as people’s needs change.
  4. Chapter 8Technology — Make Help Easier to ReachThe central idea: Technology should remove work from care, not add another place to do it.
  5. Chapter 9Care AI — Bring Human Wisdom Within ReachThe central idea: AI should help people make better decisions—not quietly make the decisions for them.
  6. Chapter 10Scoring — Learn What HelpsThe central idea: Measure whether life became better—not whether people spent more time in the system—and use what people discover to improve the next encounter.

Part III — Better Care, Learning Together

  1. PART III — Better Care, Learning TogetherSupporting the people who care is part of making care sustainable. Partner follow-through requires understood commitments behind sustainable support. Local knowledge helps adapt shared principles to the setting. Shared…
  2. Chapter 11Support the People Who CareThe central idea: A care plan that depends on one exhausted person carrying everything is not a strong care plan.
  3. Chapter 12Build a Community That Can Follow ThroughThe central idea: A community resource becomes care only when someone can actually receive it.
  4. Chapter 13Shared Tools, Local WisdomThe central idea: Share useful knowledge without erasing the judgment, relationships, and local understanding that make it useful.
  5. Chapter 14From Local Experience to Shared LearningThe central idea: The most valuable findings often reveal not who failed, but where the system makes useful care unnecessarily difficult.
  6. Chapter 15Begin with One Meaningful PathwayThe central idea: Begin where the need is real, the responsibility can be named, and the result can be observed.

Closing narrative and attribution

  1. Epilogue — More Room to Be a FamilyFigure 17 · More room to be a family. Fictional illustration; ordinary time together remains the focus.

  3. About the Author and AcknowledgmentsJoe Gleason is the author of CarePhysics. His work on Genus and the framework grew from caring for his parents, both of whom he lost to dementia, while raising three children. The questions his family encountered became a…

CarePhysics Reference Companion

  1. CarePhysics Reference CompanionTake an evidence question to R1 to examine findings and how far they can travel. Take a model or method question to R2. Take a question about culture, beliefs and care to R3. Take a reading question to R4. Take a question…
  2. R1R1 — Research Summary — What the Evidence Helps Us UnderstandThe central idea: Research gives us a better reason to choose what to try. The people using the support help us discover whether it fits.
  3. R2R2 — The Models Behind CarePhysics — Ideas We Can Put to WorkThe central idea: Use models to understand a situation—not to place a label on a person.
  4. R3R3 — Culture, Beliefs, and Care — Understand the Person, Not Just the BackgroundBetter questions invite the person’s own account rather than substitute a cultural assumption. The person’s account establishes which preferences matter here. Ask whom the person wants involved in the conversation. Respect…
  5. R4R4 — Books Worth Bringing into CareChoose relevant books for the reader’s actual question. Compare the perspectives the selected books offer rather than claiming they all agree. Those perspectives inform specific choices in an original care design. Verified…
  6. R5R5 — Connected Outcomes: Social Physics Applied to HealthcareHonoring the Social Physics Foundation—and Bringing Complementary Knowledge into Care
  7. R6R6 — The Wisdom We Carry ForwardDignity asks that the response recognize a person’s value before what they can contribute. Attention makes room to hear rather than prepare an answer too soon. Inclusion asks who is affected but missing from the…
  8. R7R7 — Words from the Front LineNotice what this moment does and does not need to accomplish before responding. Ask what the person means rather than assume the same words mean the same thing to everyone. Hear the caregiver’s account of their own life.…
  9. R8R8 — A Shared Language for CareHuman-foundation terms clarify the CarePhysics framework. People and care-role terms help clarify responsibilities and settings. Behavior and learning terms help distinguish the models being discussed. Communication and…

Closing Reflection

Appendices and Practical Tools

  1. Appendices and Practical ToolsUse Appendix A to examine evidence and Appendix J to distinguish an idea, capability, deployment and demonstrated benefit. Use Appendix B to understand what the person and chosen supporters want known. Use Appendix C to…
  2. Appendix AAppendix A — Evidence RegisterUse with: The research sections throughout the book and Reference Chapters R1, R2, R4, and R5.
  3. Appendix BAppendix B — Person + Family “What Matters” ProfileBegin with the person receiving care. Invite other people’s accounts according to the person’s preferences and appropriate authorization. The caregiver’s experience belongs in its own right, not only as information about…
  4. Appendix CAppendix C — Assistant Role CardStart with the human task. “Help a staff member prepare a reviewed first-visit explanation” is more useful than “improve care with AI.”
  5. Appendix DAppendix D — Pathway MapA pathway may include a tile, a saved contact, a call, a virtual meeting, a planned visit, and a review. It should identify the responsibility and practical support between those encounters—not simply their order.
  6. Appendix EAppendix E — Social-Worker Review Meeting PackThis pack follows the recurring meeting’s purpose: hear different accounts, preserve uncertainty, agree appropriate actions, and review whether the support helped. A social worker may facilitate within their role; clinical…
  7. Appendix FAppendix F — Benefit–Burden–Safety Measurement PlanChoose measures that help decide whether to continue, adapt, stop, or expand a service. Include benefit, burden, safety, access, a baseline, responsibility for review, and the people’s own accounts.
  8. Appendix GAppendix G — Partner Handoff AgreementThis is an operational planning aid, not a substitute for contracts or appropriate professional and privacy review. Start with one recurring handoff and the relevant people on both sides. The source template specifies…
  9. Appendix HAppendix H — Content, Tile, and Pathway ReviewBegin with one audience, situation, and purpose. Do not start by asking how much content an assistant can generate. Design turns an organization’s knowledge and resources into something a person experiences.
  10. Appendix IAppendix I — AI Safety and Learning LogThis log follows the source specification for questionable output, consequences, correction, and resulting change. It does not replace the organization’s immediate care, safety, or incident-response procedures. Attend to the…
  11. Appendix JAppendix J — Genus Capability and Evidence MatrixThis appendix separates capability and deployment from evidence of benefit. The matrix below is a verification tool, not a live product inventory. Current entries require the relevant product and partner owners to confirm them.
