Resplendent quetzal: 'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records" (newly integrated for genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, etc., for ex. ... and in #ArtificialHumans), for all 7.5 billion people each with a Wikidata Q-tiem #, I have in mind, also, these 5 initial focuses, all together: * Stanford Medicine talk - “After the Algorithm: Making Machine Learning Work in Healthcare” * * * How to connect to monthly meeting at World University and School? * * * Stanford Law SVDX - Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey?



Stanford Medicine talk - “After the Algorithm: Making Machine Learning Work in Healthcare”


Dear Leonard,
Thanks so much for your excellent Stanford Medicine talk yesterday - BMIR Research Colloquium: Leonard D’Avolio, Ph.D “After the Algorithm: Making Machine Learning Work in Healthcare” - https://stanford.zoom.us/j/761367165 - https://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/bmir-research-colloquium-leonard-davolio-ph-d-after-the-algorithm-making-machine-learning-work-in-healthcare/ - https://bmir.stanford.edu/education/colloquia.html . 

I'm following up in writing because I'd sincerely like to make an impact on health care via data (and via MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch) - and with regard to what I'm calling 'avatar bot electronic medical records' (and in many ways in Medicine), and brainstorming-wise for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar, - and potentially seeking to improve electronic health record keeping along the way. In developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, WUaS seeks to develop online line Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - for online clinical care, and in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and potentially in all 7,111 known living languages too. 

By 'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records" (newly integrated for genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, etc., for ex. ... and in #ArtificialHumans), for all 7.5 billion people each with a Wikidata Q-tiem #, I have in mind, also, these 5 initial focuses, all together: 

i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,

ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, for ex.,

iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single crypto-currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks probably via regulation (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" crypto-currency (as a mineable single crypto-currency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise.

iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again) ... and for innovative genealogical research.

v) Computer glasses for all 7.5 billion people on the planet - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/outback-3-computers-per-person-all-75.html?

As a Harvard professor for ~10 years, and with your significant knowledge and experience with Artificial Intelligence in medicine and healthcare spaces, I wonder how best to further come into communication about all of this.

I've been in touch with Stanford chairman of Medicine, Robert Harrington MD, about this in a number of ways (including meeting in person). And I wonder too, whether you know Harvard Medicine Professor Emeritus, Richard Robb MD (https://eye.hms.harvard.edu/richardrobb), who is a family friend (since I was about age 2). 

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Medicine talk, Leonard, and I look forward to communicating further about this. And thank you.

Best regards, Scott 

See, too, the MIT OCW-centric 'Artificial Intelligence' wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence (and related wiki subjects, such as 'Machine Learning' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - all of which will eventually offer online courses, for credit, potentially in all ~200 countries' official/main languages).

and with regards to online MIT OCW-centric https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School in ~200 nation states' official languages. (Think too, Alphabet/Google/Stanford/Duke University's Project Baseline as basis for EHR, with Project ECHO, as basis for online Medical Schools, all of which one can read more about here in the Medical Schools' 'label' in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Medical%20Schools).










The talk is an honest view of the potential of ML as well as the cultural, economic, and practical barriers that stand in the way of progress. The goal of the talk is to begin to prepare students, entrepreneurs, data scientists, managers, clinicians, and executives for what really matters -what comes after the algorithm.

Leonard D’Avolio, Ph.D. helps government, academia, philanthropy, and industry use data to improve healthcare, with a particular focus on machine learning. He is the co-founder of Cyft, a healthcare analytics company, and an Assistant Professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He serves as an advisor to the Helmsley Charitable Trust Foundation and several healthcare startups and is a board member for Youth Development Organization in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Several institutions including the National Cancer Institute, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, National Library of Medicine, and the Helmsley Charitable Trust Foundation have funded his work. His straightforward and practical advice on using data to improve healthcare has made him an internationally sought-after speaker and his writing and research are routinely featured in academic and industry publications.

Hello Len, 

Thanks so much for your email. As WUaS seeks to build ~200 online Medical Schools (with online teaching hospitals) with artificial intelligence, collaborating with Harvard Medical School, Boston University and Tuft's and other medical schools in the Boston area would be invaluable - and potentially in collaboration with Stanford Medicine, Duke Medicine, and Project Baseline, as well as Project ECHO. 

I just blogged about some of this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/resplendent-quetzal-stanford-medicine.html (accessoble also with the Richard Robb MD 'label' - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Richard%20Robb%20MD - and I just wrote to Dick to say that you and I had been in communication. 

Perhaps Cyft can help focus some of this, and with regard to 'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records' (to improve EHR and Electronic Medical Records significantly in the US and abroad), and re WUaS brainstorming for coding for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar. How best to communicate about this further? Thank you.

Best, Scott

How to connect to monthly meeting at World University and School


From: info@worlduniversityandschool.org

Peter, Larry, Massimo

Hi Massimo,

Great, and thanks for your email. Emailing currently is the best way to join WUaS Monthly Business Meeting. Presently, LightStream is the way to go for video conferencing eg https://youtu.be/ZPxeyQdCzr4 (which records to Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch), but I haven't done this with 2 people before. So if you'd like to join WUaS MBM tomorrow at 9am Pacific Time from The Netherlands, I'll try to send you an invitation from LightStream, (and Peter in Germany above has helped set up LightStream thus far). Larry on Eastern Time (east coast USA) will be on the phone concurrently.

Also, on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time, I'm holding WUaS Q&A and News if you'd like to join a video  conference in the future as well (https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch).

See you soon.

Thanks, Scott

Hi Ann, Lydia, and Ed, (and Susan), 

Very nice to meet and talk with you this morning at SVDX. And thanks so much for your far-reaching and edifying ethics' panel! As a follow up question, I'm curious about the role of socially resopnsible index mutual funds (Vanguage FTSE, TIAA Social Choirce, Friends' Fiduciary's Quaker Index Fundetc). in shaping a culture of corporate ethics newly in recent decades, since if a company gets into these indexes (and thus all the other indexes - S&P 500, etc.), they are have made it. My question to you was how California does corporate ethics differently from the rest of the country, and especially since California Tech companies make such a large percentage of socially responsible index funds. (Being a socially responsible company, re above ethical criteria, is rewarded financially in a sense). In a way such big companies seem to define shades of grey in a new way perhaps. 

I'm writing, brainstorming-wise, to inqure about your availability to join the WUaS Board - as a startup Board team even - of startup MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch, and the WUaS Corporation. (See more about the two amazing parallel WUaS legal entities below). Might you be available to communicate further about this, and as a team? This would be a mind-experiment in a sense (with remarkable impact potential re helping people, developing ethics in corporations in all ~200 countries' offical languages, and even remuneration-wise eventually).

Looking forward to talking to you soon. 

Thank you so much for your great SVDX panel. 

Sincerely, Scott

PS: 
I'm also posting below my pre-networking email to Ed Batts, John Hennessy (chairman of Alphabet), Robert Harrington MD (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry Viehland Ph.D. (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch). See, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/coconut-looking-forward-to-your-panel.html

Dear Ed, John (chairman of Alphabet), Robert (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch), 

Looking forward to your panel moderation, Ed - 
'Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey?  Building an Ethical Culture in Business: Why it’s Hard to Do the Right Thing on a Corporate Level' this Thursday - http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=b9cssleab&oeidk=a07egp3z2du0898928b - having been impressed with a number of your previous Stanford Law SVDX presentations and panel moderations (on 2/18/16, 3/16/17 & 3/15/18). 

Great to meet you too, John, at the opening autumn 2018 Stanford Law SVDX meeting (and at 2 of your "Leading Matters" ' book conversations, as well).

With regards to both wings of WUaS: A) 501 c 3 non-profit World Univ & School and the B) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation - both planned in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - how best to grow these ethically re all the cultural and linguistic diversity, newly online, inherent in WUaS's goals, and with these 14 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - on both wings?

Re pre-networking, and questions of building ethical cultures on both of WUaS's wings - with planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - am curious how the development particularly of WUaS's information technology platforms can shape or inform WUaS's ethical corporate business cultures (eg re single cryptocurrency in some of all ~200 countries, and distributed via UBI experiments - brainstorming-wise to all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar).  And in what ways could Alphabet and Google's experience be harbingers for developing ethical online business cultures - and for WUaS to learn from? And in what ways could WUaS begin to explore collaborating with Google and Alphabet IT-wise as WUaS seeks to grow our work force to 2.2 million people (about the size of Walmart with time)?

Big announcement & development re FREE & MIT & beginning NOW in Jan 2020 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/rhubarb-free-to-students-bachelor.html (at MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World Univ & Sch) - a first free online 4 year MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree, in English literature, as WUaS begins licensing with CA's BPPE, and in collaboration with edX, where Anant Agarwal is edX's CEO and your previous Ph.D. student, Professor Hennessy. See 1st minute from WUaS's last open monthly business meeting - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/minutes-for-dec-21-2019-wuas-monthly.html (from 12/21/19). 

Re building ethical business culture too, WUaS is Quaker-informed (non-theistic Friends' - NtF - or atheistically Quaker informed to be more accurate) with regards to shades of grey questions (and there's a book by Quaker John Punshon called "Portrait in Grey: A Short HIstory of the Quakers" in these 'grey' regards, and with regards to a kind of philosophy or identity informing business culture too). 

Ed, am curious in particular how all of you will address the question of corporate (e.g. Stanford, Alphabet, Silicon Valley, California as examples of culture too) culture or identity in the shaping of building an ethical culture. (I'm an anthropology where actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs is my ethnographic field site re questions of culture, or alternative culture, too). 

Looking forward to SVDX on Thursday morning, and thank you!

Sincerely, Scott

Ed, John, Robert, Roland, Hank & Larry,

I just found this brief WSJ John Hennessy 'interview' great - https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1181962525136625664?s=20 .... A question I might include: 'What's the most important ethical question a company should address as a starting point'?

Best regards, Scott
