[edit] Abstract
All of healthcare is an experiment, but we measure only a small portion of the outcomes, i.e., in clinical trials. We're also not very good at collaboratively analyzing the data, interpreting the results, and disseminating them in a timely and meaningful manner. In this talk we will present a vision and technological approach for addressing these problems by using the Web to tap the collective intelligence of patients, physicians and medical researchers, ultimately bringing the world's knowledge and resources to bear on curing diseases one patient at a time.

Dr. Tenenbaum is a prominent computer scientist and Internet entrepreneur, who was educated at MIT and Stanford, spent the 1970's doing artificial intelligence research at SRI, the 80's managing computer science research for Schlumberger, and the 1990's pioneering Internet commerce. He's currently focused on using the Web to transform medicine.
Jeff Shrager is a CommerceNet fellow and consulting associate professor in the Symbolic Systems program at Stanford. His work focuses on how computation and human-computer networks can facilitate science. Dr. Shrager holds degrees in computer science and cognitive neuroscience from Penn and CMU, and has published extensively in AI-based scientific computing, genomics, and the cognitive sciences.
Mike Travers holds several degrees from MIT and The Media Lab where he studied artificial life, educational computing, and agent-based systems. His present work focuses on the intersection of knowledge representation, visualization, and programmability. Dr. Travers was a researcher at IBM Watson Laboratory where he worked on extending the Java platform. In 1999, he joined Afferent Systems, a startup developing platforms for combinatorial chemistry, as Director of Human Computer Interface. Since then has worked on a variety of commercial and academic software systems supporting life science research. He is currently an independent consultant specializing in life science informatics and semantic technology.
