I'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's improving diagnostic machinery, running simulations, or designing better interfaces for practitioners, there must be ways we can help. I've often wondered about this, and current events especially are making me consider it again.<p>Advice?
