September 7 Humanist Forum: A Practical Computer Program that Diagnoses Diseases in Actual Patients
Carlos Feder, MD, will present this computer program that he created with the help and important contributions of his son Tomás Feder, PhD in Computer Sciences from Stanford University. Carlos will emphasize the paramount medical and socioeconomic importance of such a program for patients, physicians, nurses, health care insurances, malpractice lawyers, and the entire medical establishment. He will comment on the frequency of medical errors and their causes, general and personal history of the evolution of computers and research in the medical diagnosis field, and the advantages of their novel program over existing so-called “computer diagnosis programs”.
The Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am at Mitchell Park Community Center. The Mitchell Park Community Center is located at 3800 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, Just north of Charleston Road.
