  7. Summary of Presentations • Presentations • Issues • Topics for discussion

  8. Presentations - David Williams • Decay of training • Pharmacology is unknown • Think about requirements MD on Board

  9. Presentations - Sam Pool • Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics have implications for evidence-based medicine • What medications? • What equipment?

  10. Presentations - Jay Sanders • The 80-20 rule • Mars to Main Street • Focus on history-taking

  11. Presentations -Jeff Sutton • Smart systems for Rx and monitoring • Novel sensors • Novel therapeutic modalities • Remote fabrication • Intelligent systems for mentoring/training

  12. Presentations - Terry Clemmer • Complex adaptive systems • Setting the vision is the attractor • Clockware vs. Swarmware • The human on a bike (AI-RHEUM) • Rapid cycle trials - process oriented • Protocol development

  13. Presentations - Dan Masys • How much will we know in the next 25 years? • Human genome project: a parts list • Task of functional genomics is to map the patterns to the clinical picture • Interrupt command and control mechanisms

  14. Presentations - Michael Ackerman • Interactivity is an issue • Things to pack • Lessons from submarines • Risk/benefit analysis

  15. Presentations - Larry Weed • Decouple data collection from heuristics • Stop relying on what’s in doctors’ heads • New tools are needed • A new science of medical practice

  16. Issues • What do we need to learn? • What do we need to build?

  17. Issues - What do we need to learn? • How to do interviews - but what about psychiatric ones? • Study what gets used in subs, space station, islands, Poles - what are the cognitive issues? • Can we apply informatics to backward chain in collecting evidence?

  18. Issues - What do we need to learn? • Heuristics and EBM • Swarmware and chaos theory - it’s ok to kill a few termites • Genomics - functions vs. markers • Pattern matching and gestalt - if we can model human physicians, why not just model human astronauts?

  19. Issues - What do we need to build? • My first aid kit • Lab on a chip - a super dipstick? • Expert systems - which part is the bicycle and which part is the human?

  20. Topics for Discussion • How will we practice evidence-based health care? • What to pack: hardware vs. warmware
