I dedicate this particular post to my best mate, Lindsay.
If you are young enough, one morning after some decades, you may wake up to find a news headline like this:
The First Computer Scientist to Win the Novel Prize in Medicine:
--- for contributing to a grand breakthrough in medicine by designing the huge information anomaly detector dubbed as "Super-Kamiokande of Medical Science" which was essential for the discovery ---
Sounds like a cheap science fiction? Or a daydreamer's fantasy?
But there is one thing which some experts think might be able to make it happen.
Universal Semantic Interoperability - some call it Unified Field Theory of Health Informatics - which enables:
- Whom - any humans from any backgrounds and any machines from any makes
- What - to communicate and understand the healthcare information between each other
- How - in full extent and depth, over ages and beyond generations to come.
Here begins the saga, the quest for this Holy Grail of Health Informatics.
Hopefully it is not a fiction, but a real-time documentary.
