Jonathan, with regard to your slide "The Value Proposition: Speed to health at the lowest possible cost, (re these 3 variables: Health, Speed, Cost)," I wonder what you think about whether "Who defines value?" might further be the health care providers who create the information technology for this (including with regards to creating the machine learning and A.I.)? And, conceptually, further, I wonder if the information technologies that WUaS is planning - in part in a realistic virtual earth (am thinking in addition to Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate, and also at the cellular and atomic levels. +) and with Stanford's/Duke's/Google's Pro
How to conceive of this further in the building out of such information technologies re this recent Stanford Medicine Tweet -

Mary, in asking about your plans for artificial intelligence with machine learning re all the agencies you've worked with, I'm curious, again brainstorming-wise, how to explore building in to online hospitals for online clinical care and insurance+/health care finance relationships with such agencies and re artificial intelligence, and research. Might it be possible even to explore such hypothetical pilot programs to explore tele-robotic surgery emerging out of Stanford Medicine and their surgery simulations? And, Jonathan, with regard to the companies you mentioned (Walmart, Nordstroms, and Amazon), I'm curious, brainstorming-wise again, how the WUaS Press/Bookstore (a for profit general stock company as a legal entity) might make all kinds of hospital technologies available, and in all 200 countries' official/main languages, and even in all 7000 living languages, if helpful.
So conceptually how to plan with this building out of the internet / these information technologies' ideas for creating value by creating a single realistic virtual earth / VR (Google-centric, am thinking again Google Streetview with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate – and at the cellular and atomic levels too, and with oceans and countries’ territorial boundaries/mapping/modeling – and especially for online great CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric great universities with medical (and law) schools for peoples in all ~200 countries' languages and with online teaching hospitals for clinical care in all ~200 countries official language including eventual tele-robotic surgery, for ex. – and with individuals as avatar bots, and species' avatar bots, and with evolutionary biology etc. for research and veterinary medicine, +). And would it be possible to work even with the medical wing of national security / the armed services re coding for such information technologies, - and how to plan for this?

Scott,
I wanted to share a link to one example of how AI was used by my last organization (Molina Healthcare) and by many more payers. AI is key to the production of accurate Provider Directories https://medium.
In terms of how AI is being used by providers and payers in the treatment or care of patients I will refer you to my colleague Jon who is more familiar with the firm he mentioned Tuesday. That company ingests millions of lines of data to help predict which procedure a patient should be pre-authorized to receive based on predictive analytics.
Best of luck to you in your research and projects!

Mary, and All,
Thanks so much for your 2 quick responses. Have blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.

Mary and Jon,
Thanks for this timely and topical article. This gets into questions too of Electronic Medical Records, and also WUaS PLANs to code for learners / teachers in all 7111 living languages and 200 countries, as well as for all 7.5 billion people on the planet (as wiki learners / teachers at WUaS) and re medicine. All of this has relevance for health organizations and coding for payers and payees re AI and machine learning, Stanford Medicine / Google's Project Baseline potentially into online hospitals in many languages / Google's TensorFlow and World University and School.
Best regards, Scott

And even for a single cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and perhaps distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments ... and re WUaS's plans to offer free-to-students' (seeking reimbursement for 200 countries' governments since in building on CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages, WUaS can't ask for tuition) online degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, M.D. and I.B. high school in all ~200 countries and ~7000 living languages) - so free-to-students' highest quality universal education - re coding for AI / machine learning and payee / payer financial health information.
Will add some of this to the blog entry.
Sincerely, Scott

Jon and Mary, and All,
One further question: Re your mentioning Walmart, Nordstrom and Amazon in your presentation, Jon, how do you envision these models working with regard to payer / payee health financing and your value proposition?
Brainstorming-wise and conceptually re AI and machine learning, the WUaS Press / Corp (an educational services' bookstore / robotics' store/ / pharmacology company / hospital technologies' store (with an extensive research wing) + and especially as a for profit general stock company,) seeks conceptually with Google TensorFlow to generate a stock price in each of every one of ~200 countries' official languages, in the ones which have stock markets or emerging stock markets. At the end of each day, this would generate potentially 200 stock prices in 200 countries.
WUaS in our law schools would also seek to offer courses in how other companies and teach how stock corporations could become listed on any number of stock markets too via TensorFlow. If TensorFlow were also providing the machine learning for a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of countries' central banks (think the Euro in 19 out of 28 countries, but newly as a single cryptocurrency with blockchain), this would conceptually make TensorFlow a remarkable generator of AI financial value. And all of this would affect health care financing from your knowledge-base as well.
Jon, how further do you envision a corporation approach informing the value proposition you outlined 2 days ago.
Thank you again for your very edifying presentations.
Best regards, Scott

Dear Larry,
It's funny that the BPPE licensing application will give WUaS a GREAT opportunity for WUaS to collaborate with the state of California, and in ways that will help World Univ & Sch a lot, after all these years ... yet it's a slog. Am posting item 12 below from - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/
Re World Univ & Sch and connecting "front end" with "back end" re WUaS donation for co-development to Wikidata, and then getting WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki, I searched on "Wikipedia's MediaWiki as "front end" Wikidata/Wikibase as "back end" how does this work?" and found a conversation from 2017 re this here - https://www.wikidata.org/
Am interested further in differentiating Wikipedia in 300 languages as "front end" with "back end" from WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki re "front end" with our potential Wikidata "back end" re, for example - https://wiki.
I think I'll begin with just 6 undergraduate degree programs, per your catalog of some years ago, and then think in terms of 6 Ph.D. programs initially for planning purposes, but see what emerges and how extensible this will be re CC-4 MIT OCW's ~32 departments online. Thoughts, ideas, questions?
And thoughts about item 12 below? (While some of the BPPE application is tuition oriented, I think WUaS will write in response to these questions, something like "Since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, and seeks to get reimbursement from departments of education of many governments, these questions are not applicable - like question 12.2 below ...) Thoughts, questions, ideas?
The CA BPPE app is a writing opportunity to create and realized WUaS further!
Sincerely, Scott
