About the seminar

We stand on the verge of a second “knowledge revolution”.  The first revolution was the invention of the printing press many centuries ago that enabled mass access to knowledge. Computable knowledge empowers mass action that is essential to the functioning of Learning Health Systems that can improve the health of individuals and populations at unprecedented scale.

This presentation will introduce the concept of computable knowledge, its role in empowering Learning Health Systems, and the socio-technical infrastructure required to mobilise it.
