Introduction to the Health Commons John Wilbanks, Executive Director of Science Commons, has made a 6.5 minute video on his vision for a Health Commons. I recommend it as a succinct overview of the obstacles slowing down the development of new cures and the solution he's proposing. For more detail, see the just-released white paper he co-authored with Marty Tenenbaum, Health Commons: Therapy Development in a Networked World, May 2008. Tenenbaum is the founder of CommerceNet and CollabRx. Excerpt:
Health Commons is a new and very practical project, not just a plan or vision. The founding partners are Science Commons, CommerceNet, Public Library of Science, and CollabRx . |
