I've been asked to be a consultant on the IT Future of Medicine EU
Flagship project proposal team. This is an exciting vision of the future of medicine, where
computers will be used to model all aspects of patients to provide doctors with personalised
predictions of likely illnesses for their patients. The flagship, if funded, will be something of the scale
of the Apollo Space Programme - integrating data and models with the latest high performance
computing, cloud computing and mobile computing technologies. My experience in modelling, for
example as described in the book On Growth, Form and Computers (and in the work with
many of my PhD students) and medical computing - for example, through the iStethoscope
Pro app should hopefully be of some benefit!
