I have an idea this should be submitted to the philosophy and metaphysics forum science section.....but here goes...
First off im no technophile...being thrity years a logger,.....but heres my idea....We have all heard of the NSA meta data collection....how they
process this data may be of benefit to the world a whole.....
The algorythms are transferrable to any set parameters for examination....the method iexists...
We have a great deal of stored data.......the volume is tremendous....
Imagine getting an MRI....now the machine, takes pictures of micro slice- like cross sections of your body.....
The top to bottom of your physiology is recorded in detail.....
If it is a spinal problem, the relevant sections get examined....and treatment or diagnosis is made.....this is specified in the MRI order itself
usually....
My question here is what happens to all the other data that's recorded during the MRI?
My idea is to write a computer program, which would examine the data in its entirety, and offer diagnosis of anything out of the normal it
finds.....besides the severely limited specifications of the MRI order .......(for example...but could apply to other things as well)
Nothing new perhaps (my info stream is pretty narrow...)but certainly a wide open field for early diagnostics and cheaper medical costs....as the
data is currently unused except for interpreting on a narrow bandwidth...
Such a code once written, could act as a sort of "check some".? for fringe of interest data which could reveal serious problems for the patient that
were heretofore unknown or suspected....
The MRI (or other data) to be examined would be simply fed into a computer and the programming would scan for abnormalities not specified in the
patients treatment chart....AUTOMATICALLY....
No high priced humsn expertise required unless something is detected....
The process is entirely convertible to other advances in tech as well as other fields....as a standard operating procedure....sort of AI second
guessing program that examines the accrued data OUTSIDE the parameters of implied needs of the moment ie...
The program may detect a tumour while also examining your spinal trauma....?? just a thought...could this be done by A. Intelligence as a sort of
beneficial by product of your back trauma treatment?
Perhaps my brains foggy this morning (only two cups of brew yet....) but is there room for discussion of this type of endeavour alongside the regular
medical practices?.Or other forms of research even?
It could be enormously cost efficient....as well as live saving if standardised with certain technology....
if im way behind the times here then cut my legs off and call me Shorty....
