We should get in touch, I've started translating Mycin into CoffeeScript, with the hopes of creating a crowdsourced medical expert system within the summer.
This sounds very cool. If you're planning on open sourcing any and all of this I'd like to contribute
Yes, it will be open sourced! I want to show engineers just how inanely dumb some of the algorithms in medicine are, and how (I believe) we can start creating publicly usable algorithms to pipe knowledge to the consumers once they get access to a bunch of data from consumer medical devices. Lofty goals, but I will attempt to execute on the idea!
as a (new) doctor I would love to help out if I can as well
Thanks Rob! Would love for you to participate and help me iterate once I release a prototype in a week or two. I have a colleague at Weill Cornell who may help test drive the system as well. Got your email in my notebook!
