many thanks again for the video. my thots is that it is like a community network for clinical trials - awesome ! taking back and having access to data on our healthcare back from the pharmaceutical and labrats.
i wanted to do something like this for addressing poverty in terengganu. looking at factors that surrounds a poor family and not just a snapshot but a 'story' across time. but i did not know how to explain or describe it. so i started with a simple prototype called sistem kambing. i just needed an engine that could record characteristics on a goat / person over a time series. you know, something like baby's health card and some geneology. the next stage is actually to start capturing externalities. this time pushing the prototype a little further called sistem rumput. in this prototype we could see how the weather affects the growth of the grass. in a community context, externalities could be the availability / quality of education / healthcare / etc the prime minister's dept already has an ongoing project for data mining and analysing poverty data. they are using speedminer a malaysian product. since both of us are stuck with time. why dont we collaborate over blogs ? if you find anything useful, just post a blog article, i will do the same. maybe tag it 'analytics' ?
