Dear Jessica (and Bob),
Thanks for your fascinating Project Baseline talk yesterday at Stanford Medicine - http://events.stanford.edu/e
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."
Very nice to meet and talk with you afterward, as well, Jessica.
It was great to hear about your ginormous Verily Google-centric project - "Surfacing Human Signals: The Convergence of Engineering and Health" - http://events.stanford.edu/e
In asking you afterward about digitally organizing your work and the convergence of engineering and health with a realistic virtual earth, I wonder about the role Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER married conceptually with OpenSim/Second Life for group build-ability, but realistic, with species' AVATAR BOTS - e.g. for genomic engineering and robotics, etc. - both realistic, and fantastic/imaginary/creative, (and at the cell, atom and subatomic levels too) - and in all 7,099 living languages for STEM research, and as a classroom, as well as online teaching hospitals for World University and School's CC MIT OCW-centric online Medical Schools (planned in ~200 countries' official languages) - and hopefully with Stanford Medicine OpenCourseWare in all these languages for online MD medical degrees.
Here's a recent Tweet with Bob Harrington about WUaS's plans to facilitate online clinical trials with people in all 7,099 living languages - https://twitter.com/
With regards to your talk's digital retinopathy example and Project Baseline examples, and a realistic virtual earth, and machine learning, I'd like to hypothesize we could model every eyeball virtually from every human who came into the physical clinic, which you mentioned (and later do this from home out of people's smartphone screens?), into avatar bot bodies/eyes in a realistic virtual earth with time slider, conceptually and virtually, and then apply machine learning to these 3D images, to recognize and learn for subsequent research, diagnosis and clinical therapeutic interventions (eg for virtual glucose monitors - https://www.medscape.com/
With regards to the Project Baseline data you're collecting database-wise, Jessica, all of this could correspond to virtual avatar bot bodyminds in this realistic virtual earth with time slider - as a kind of patient health charting / data even. And from these healthy baselines, further clinical protocols for wellness (e.g. improving diabetic retinopathy) could emerge. These would also connect to the blockchain ledger (and even with a cryptocurrency - all Google-Stanford-Harvard-
In terms of actually modeling brains, by way of comparison with modelling eyeballs, and in a Google-centric platform, here's Google's/Stanford's Thomas Dean's - "Automatically Inferring Meso-scale Models of Neural Computation" https://www.
WUaS's plans to create a realistic virtual earth with TIME SLIDER at the street view / atomic / cellular (and subatomic) levels emerges out of my actual / virtual Harbin ethnographic book project, and to see the beginnings, conceptually, of this Streetview-centric virtual earth for STEM research, visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gatehouse in Streetview here - https://twitter.com/
Since you went to Stanford as an undergraduate in the 1990s, Jessica, did you ever happen to visit Harbin?
I just found this Nov 2, 2017 video online with you and Medscape's Eric Topol - https://www.medscape.com/
Jessica and Bob, might we potentially meet or conference call about developing online Medical Schools (perhaps with Project ECHO - https://scott-macleod.
Great connecting face-to-face in person with you, Jessica. And looking forward to communicating further with you about this.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Scott
