Let’s zoom in and see what happened in the last couple of centuries leading to this explosion. We see on the timeline are two primary groups of factors: Research Improvements Incentive Improvements Research Improvements Schools of Medicine An influx of new state-affiliated pharmacy schools in the 1880s and 1890s helped to raise the level of the practice […]

Current Efficacy Trials Often Produce Ineffective Treatments and Prevent Access to Effective Ones
Modern drug efficacy trials are unnecessarily small, expensive, slow, and unrepresentative of true effectiveness in real-world patients.
FDA Mandate Initiative
The FDA’s primary mandate should be to maximize human health and safety and opposed to ensuring that no one ever have access to a treatment that may or may not be effective.
Project Coordinator
Additional Program Coordinator responsibilities include: Planning and coordination of a program and its activities Ensuring implementation of policies and practices Maintaining budget and tracking expenditures/transactions Job brief We are looking for a competent Program Coordinator to undertake a variety of administrative and program management tasks. You will help in planning and organizing programs and activities […]
Open Epidemiology Initiative
The CDC should provide a simple website where one can enter any non-communicable diseases and see a correlation matrix and longitudinal chart of incidence and prevalence over time.
Standardized Clinical Trial Outcome Measures
The results from thousands of studies available in a free database at clinicaltrials.gov. However, they all use different outcome measures, so it’s difficult to aggregate the results to generate meta-analyses. Thus, it’s difficult for a patient or physician to derive the best actionable information from this disparate pile of information. Our goal is to convert […]
Outcome Labels Initiative
Data Quantity Data Sources Several types of data are used to derive the Outcome Labels:
Posthumous Health Data Donation by Default
Over a billion people are suffering from uncured chronic diseases. Medical progress is unacceptably slow due to the costs of research. However, there’s tremendous value in the information contained within health records. This data could help answer a range of public health questions that require data on people’s health over a long time period — […]
International Biobank Health Data Sharing
Numerous health conditions affecting large parts of the population remain under-researched. As a result, hundreds of millions of people continue to suffer from devasting diseases, such as Alzheimer’s dementia or Parkinson’s disease. The data required for scientific progress actually already exists in the form of electronic medical records, health insurance spending records, diet data, pharmacy […]
Microbiome Optimization Initiative
There is likely no other area of medical research with more potential for reducing the suffering of chronic disease than the billions of tiny passengers inside our guts. There is increasing evidence showing that the dynamic changes in the gut microbiota can alter brain physiology and behavior. Cognition was originally thought to be regulated only […]
