The Nosfabrica team nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s nostr:npub1t8pwzkkhhs94e9acgw9jwca9csyl7a4tnpdttu05039um5j7d6xs72gkvf is currently running the SALUD Decentralized Health App Development Challenge, focussing on decentralizing healthcare and health information. Currently a team of us is developing, MedSchlr, an innovative app designed to decentralize medical and health knowledge sharing and publishing using Nostr Alexandria.

We are actively seeking health professionals to join our team! Your clinical and/or research expertise and insights would be invaluable in ensuring MedSchlr meets real-world needs and maintains high standards.

Interested in joining the MedSchlr team? Send the Nosfabrica team or Emma a note or message by May 1st, 2025.

First we are aiming to build a knowledge base of health information (peer reviewed articles, blogs, etc). So at first it might be more provider/ researcher oriented (e.g. exchanging ideas on medical and health science publications) but could prove to be helpful for doctor and patient communications around health evidence.

Perfect. Here's my little contribution of things I've written and compiled for #DocChain

Excellent thanks! Looping in nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf to include in the repository.

What's the advantage of it being decentralized over other health record services that are not? Was there any sort of inciting problem that prompted a need for making this?

Thank you for your questions. To clarify it is meant to be a repository for health information like peer reviewed articles, blogs, etc. That’s why it’s being built on Alexandria. The aim is to have a censorship resistant place where people can publish, and comment on medical/health related content. Could also potentially be used for information sharing between patient and provider.

The point is not decentralization in of itself, but what it enables. Written knowledge is massively entangled with other ideas, written for specific audiences, assuming a level of background.

If you are an individual with a health condition trying to learn, how can you read and understand the source research papers without getting a degree in molecular biology? Its okay to have a centralized repository of knowledge catered for a specific audience. What decentralization enables is to take these research papers, with massively condensed ideas and pry out the assumptions contained for audiences that aren't familiar. Even if the conversation isn't suitable for MedSchlr itself, the same information can be taken to another community relay for discussion to elaborate on the fine grained details that might not be suitable for a medical knowledge base.

Admittedly, I thought you meant it was supposed to be an electronic medical record service like Epic based on your initial post. Sure had me confused. Thank you for clearing that up.
