Ask HN: As a programmer, how to help medicine?

2 pointsby begriffsover 5 years ago
I&#x27;ve often wondered what programmers can do to contribute to medical research and medical care. What can we learn to make ourselves more useful to doctors, scientists and hospitals?<p>Whether it&#x27;s improving diagnostic machinery, running simulations, or designing better interfaces for practitioners, there must be ways we can help. I&#x27;ve often wondered about this, and current events especially are making me consider it again.<p>Advice?
