Great talk about Nostr with @Bitcoin Mentor and @jb55 at the Canadian Bitcoin Conference highlighting the importance of open social communications for more free societies.

If you could create a medical and health sciences knowledge base (peer review articles, scholarly works, guidelines etc.) and a place for community funded research and education on nostr #Alexandria what would be the guiding principles and use cases? Check out the draft MedSchlr Charter and provide your feedback. #DocChain View article →

Currently exploring various social media platforms and their reach to try and engage bitcoin beginners and those interested in bitcoin and its relationship health/well-being. Published first interview with Dr Satoshi, a hospitalist, on YouTube just over a week ago. Link below. Will be testing other discussion topics and formats in the future. Suggestions welcome! #Doc Chain still working on MedSchlr project. Should any doctors/health professionals like to identify seminal/high quality medical and health related peer-reviewed articles, discipline critical works, YouTube videos , peer reviewed articles etc. let @liminal 🦠 and I know as an instance of Alexandria ( https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu ) is created to be a repository of medical and health information/evidence. Currently have a list of some seminal consciousness papers identified by a neurologist. I’ve started identifying some Framingham cohort studies for epidemiology and cross-cutting health fields and historical health and wellbeing works. Also we’ve identified a a lower extremity protocol, Apollo, focussed on prevention. Also starting to list some of @Kamo Weasel guideline work. More topics welcome!

🔬 Hey #DocChain Thank you for your great interest in MedSchlr. Here is a more updated draft description on what’s being built considering all the engagement and valuable feedback provided so far.🙏 MedSchlr: A Decentralized Health and Medical Information Publishing Repository Powered by Alexandria from @npub1s3ht...75wz Estimated Genesis: Block 890, 915 Created by health professionals and researchers, health advocates, Bitcoiners, and @npub1s3ht...75wz Abstract The Problem: Currently, finding reliable health and medical information online is challenging. Search engines often show biased results influenced by third parties, and many health and medical related databases are controlled by entities with their own interests. While there have been attempts to create open access health and medical information repositories, they still rely on traditional internet platforms that can control what information people see. The Technology: MedSchlr is built on two key technologies: 1) Alexandria - This is a specialized editor and generator for creating and sharing long-form content using the Nostr protocol. Source: https://alexandria.gitcitadel.eu Using an instance of Alexandria to build MedSchlr, allows for the creation of an interactive health and medical information repository. 2) Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) - This is an open protocol that enables truly decentralized communication. Unlike traditional platforms, nostr allows users to share information without relying on any central authority. It works through a network of relay servers that help transmit messages, making it resistant to censorship and control. Key Pairs and Authentication - Users have public-private key pairs that allow them to sign their notes cryptographically. This ensures that all shared information can be verified as coming from legitimate sources, while allowing users to maintain control over their identity and content. source:

Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

By leveraging Alexandria and nostr, we can directly minimize the problems of centralized control and biased information in healthcare. Nostr's decentralized protocol ensures that no single entity can control or censor health and medical information, while Alexandria's specialized platform enables the creation of more open and interactive content. This combination creates a resilient system where health and medical knowledge can be shared freely and transparently. Solution: MedSchlr Using Alexandria and nostr, we're building an app where: A) Open source historical and current published health-related and medical information (articles, books, blogs etc.) is available with interactive features for reader engagement and commenting B) Users can publish, find, and read credible health and medical writings such as habla.news/u/kamoweasel@primal.net and

Apollo

Better Foot Health

C) Educational health and medical content and videos, blogs, etc. are easily accessible D) User profile types (badges) to distinguish note publisher credentials to add a layer of social trust E) Healthcare professionals/researchers can raise funding for health and medical research as well as initiatives through zaps Our goal is to create a decentralized, censorship-resistant app that broadens access to health and medical knowledge. By combining open protocols with peer review/social trust mechanisms, we aim to build a resource where healthcare professionals and users can collaborate, share quality information, and advance health and medical understanding minimizing interference from centralized authorities or commercial interests. App Development Timeline MedSchlr is currently participating in the Nosfabrica challenge to kickstart initial development. Development is occurring incrementally thus starting with a MVP and then evolving from there. If you haven't indicated interest already and are interested in contributing to this project, please note your interest by May 1st, 2025. Future Vision Looking ahead, we envision Medschlr evolving to revolutionize how health and medical knowledge is published, shared, reviewed and interpreted with. Future iterations could transform the traditional peer review process by: - Reducing bureaucratic barriers while maintaining rigorous scientific standards - Creating more transparent review processes - Minimizing institutional bias - Enabling faster dissemination of important and health and medical findings -Engaging various users types This reimagined approach to publishing could help accelerate the advancement of health and medical knowledge while maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity.

The Nosfabrica team @Vitor Pamplona @Avi Burra @npub1t8pw...gkvf 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. More info on the challenge - SALUD Decentralized Health App Development Challenge:

Reading old health texts pre-1900s, some things are so wrong but some observations are so right…. “Fear….It takes from him reflection, power, resolution and judgment; and in short all that dignity and greatness of soul… It has great influence on occasioning, aggravating and producing disease.” - Gunn’s Domestic Medicine (1836) If we cared to promote health in our environments we would reduce fear appeals in media and take a constructive approach to communicating problems in a way that engenders a sense of agency that we can overcome. nostr provides a beautiful protocol that allows us to overcome the tendency to stoke fear and exchange ideas in thoughtful discourse. Is it perfect no but it presents a meaningful alternative. Thankful for all of the developers and content creators who are moving this bright future ahead. Freedom tech helps us move beyond fear.
