Scott MacLeod's Anthropology of Information Technology & Counterculture: Lithops: Collaboration between Stanford Medicine and World Univ and Sch Medical Schools in all ~200 countries' official / main languages, Some details

Hi Kendra, Valerie and Emma,

Thanks for your email and your question, Kendra: "Specifically, what type of collaboration are you interested in?"

In the big picture, I'm interested in a "whole system" approach to collaboration with you and Stanford Medicine in developing "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages" and re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and re a meeting I had with Stanford Chair of Medicine, Bob Harrington MD last autumn. I'll followup with some details later. Thank you.

I'm glad to say that Stanford Medicine X has accepted a paper I proposed for late April: "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages," although I'm not sure whether I'll be able to register or not.

Best, Scott

Kendra, Valerie, Emma, and Bob, and Diana,

Thanks again for your email and your question yesterday, Kendra: "Specifically, what type of collaboration are you interested in?" Re my reply this morning: I'm interested in a "whole system" approach to collaboration with you and Stanford Medicine in developing "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages," I'm emailing details here which also outline a very creative, generative and enormously helpful project for peoples around the world. I see this as a growth opportunity for Stanford Medicine is multiple ways.

In WUaS's new wiki and in developing "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages" and re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - WUaS seeks to generate, conceptually, Medical Schools in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages from a Template like this - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages and CC Yale OYC course ware, but Medicine OCW, at the top of this page - and for online medicine degrees (newly defined potentially). Linked to each of these medical schools would be an online teaching hospital, e.g. - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital - for clinical care. As I've mentioned to Bob in our meeting last autumn in his office, I think, Stanford Medicine could ask reimbursement from nation states' ministries of health, based on GDP, something like and some percentage of the $61,247 per student per year that it costs to attend Dartmouth this year - https://geiselmed.dartmouth.edu/admissions/costs-and-financial-aid/ - for CC-4 Stanford Medicine OpenCourseWare in all ~200 countries' official / main languages where applicable. (Starting with Canada and Wisconsin, for example, could have merit, since these are probably prosperous states).

Online clinical care would emerge in a Project ECHO-informed platform with a focus on bringing specialists to rural populations in group video conferencing with a mentoring aspect - and perhaps focusing on most common internal medicine diagnoses and treating these in new ways online, for example, to begin. Courses in the medical school, seminars, or conference method, could also occur in a Project ECHO-informed platform. And, at some point in the future, online clinical care could also emerge out of a Project Baseline into 3D interactive avatar bots at the street view, cellular and atomic levels too.

Stanford Medicine has thousands of MDs, Stanford's Paul Pitlick MD said at Grand Rounds to me on Wednesday, with interns, residents, post docs and in all its divisions. On the order of 10,000 I asked? Many of these could be prospective faculty and clinicians in this WUaS model - and in all ~200 countries' official languages eventually - and in developing STEM / medical translation even, re the Stanford Medicine Annual Report - http://medicine.stanford.edu/annual-report-2018.html.

In terms of a "whole system" approach, and re collaboration, I would add that nonprofit 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch last year forked into a second entity, the for profit general stock WUaS Corp. Both are planned in all ~200 countries' official languages as major universities, and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning. The WUaS Corp is an educational services' company, and Stanford Medicine's Dr. Diana Do is lead director of its Board.

Into a dynamic model - avatar bots? - And who owns the data - and re the blockchain for health care data for its anonymity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arYEogcQ7Z4

At a key coding moment for World University and School, WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people / learners / Universitians / as well as re the blockchain / a cryptocurrency (what comes are the dollar?) and even, especially, an universal basic income, perhaps as a way too not only to help people, but also spread, and code for in via our online law schools in all ~200 countries' official languages - such data developments as the block chain in all nation states. Planning-wise, this could be combined with this growth story of Stanford Medicine.

Part of this might include, ways in which Stanford Medicine could build an alternative to EPIC (which may be used by about ~50% of the hospitals in the US, but doesn't take into account the other ~200 countries) - and re Project Baseline?

While this WUaS plan is a potential co-template, I suspect that Stanford, with its significant Computer Science history and its links with Google/Alphabet - and in the information technology age - would create this in very remarkable ways that goes well beyond this.

Thank you Kendra, Valerie and Emma at the Stanford Population Health Center for further generating this conversation.

And in what ways might we explore this conversation further?

Best regards, Scott

On the order of 10,000 I asked? Many of these could be prospective faculty (or learning to become faculty) and clinicians in this WUaS model - and in all ~200 countries' official languages eventually - and for developing STEM / medical translation even, re the Stanford Medicine Annual Report - http://medicine.stanford.edu/annual-report-2018.html.

In terms of a "whole system" approach, and re collaboration, I would add that nonprofit 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch last year forked into a second entity, - the for profit general stock WUaS Corp. Both are planned in all ~200 countries' official languages as major universities, and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, and as academic markets. The WUaS Corp is an educational services' company, and Stanford Medicine's Dr. Diana Do is lead director of its Board.

At a key coding moment for World University and School, WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people / learners / Universitians / as well as re the blockchain / a cryptocurrency (what comes after the dollar?) and even, especially, an universal basic income (planning-wise), perhaps as a way too not only to help people, but also make this cryptocurrency an international one (like the dollar). WUaS would seek to code for this partly via our online law schools in all ~200 countries' official languages - and with such data developments as the block chain ledger in all nation states. This latter plan would include coding for anonymous block chain health care data for all 7.5 billion people. This could be a remarkable growth story for Stanford Medicine. And part of this might include ways in which Stanford Medicine could build an alternative to EPIC (which may be used by about ~50% of the hospitals in the US, but doesn't take into account the other ~200 countries) - and re Project Baseline. Your work with two main insurers' databases at Stanford, Valerie, would be an integral part of this too.

As part of WUaS's plans for research, a major area for WUaS in general, we would like to develop an online approach to clinical trials in all ~200 countries and all 7,099 living languages - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - which would be designed as part of this "whole system" and re the emergent block chain ledger as well.

While this WUaS plan is a potential co-template, I suspect that Stanford Medicine has many related building blocks in its MD "black bag" / its past. And I think that Stanford itself with its significant Computer Science history and its links with Google/Alphabet and Apple, for example, and Silicon Valley - and in the midst of information technology revolution - would create this in very remarkable new ways that goes well beyond the above plan / blueprint.

So that this email doesn't grow too long, I'll add further details here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/lithops-collaboration-between-stanford.html.

Thank you Kendra at OCE, and Valerie and Emma and the Stanford Population Health Center for further generating this conversation.

And how might we best explore this further?

Best regards, Scott

MIT's surgery in a box ... ship, space and wilderness medicine ... and hospital vans for tele robotic surgery ...

Collaborate with Stanford Law re blockchain ledger and Med and Law courseware too ?

fund raising together ...

a possible faculty position for myself

tele robotic surgery

Dr. Fearon's Grand Rounds - whole system - cardiology treatment studies and research online ?

an online pilot program in cardiology?

Hi Kendra, Valerie and Emma, and people at Stanford's Population Health Sciences,

As a followup, it's partly combining Project ECHO -- specialist MDs to rural populations in group video with a mentoring compoenent -- with Project Baseline (which I think recently actually moved into Stanford Medicine) -- physical samples / specimens taken at first in the clinic into a map or chart for wellness and good health (and to eventually inform avatar bots?) -- all of which WUaS would like to build into WUaS's planned online medical schools with online teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries' official/main languages. (I've been in touch with both Bob Harrington MD in person about all of this, as well as with Sanjeev Arora MD of Project ECHO, and Jessica Mega MD of Project Baseline, in email communication).

Here are links to both Stanford Medicine video talks by Sanjeev Arora MD and Jessica Mega MD (of Verily which is/was Google's medical company):

The Stanford Medicine - 19th Annual Thomas J. Fogarty MD Lecture: Focus on Innovation featuring Jessica L. Mega, MD, MPH, Verily Life Sciences (Google) - "Surfacing Human Signals: The Convergence of Engineering and Health."
