One need is for authoritative and easy-to-access medical material from things
that are already available on the web. Mayo Clinic, U.S. Government
Organizations, Office
of Public Health and Science,
UCLA Medical Center all have valuable web-posted files on
various aspects of health. There, and in other areas, computer innovations
can make a real difference in terms of usability.
Health Browser
A project begins with implementing a
computer program. It includes creating an innovation in the user interface,
means for easier broad-based information acquisition. Comparison to
the new commercial site Dr. Koop is one possibility.
Sensing Systems
Biological entities flourish when they are able to sense and avoid their
enemies. Changes in the world ecology due to
population increase and facts about species mentioned in a draft abstract, combine to suggest
a project domain.
Personal History
Many individuals have annual health examinations (medical checkups). This
project would develop a
way to coordinate test results (cholesterol level, eye correction, etc.)
to obtain more use for medical doctors from the existing procedures.
