Abstract

Global medical knowledge incorporates knowledge from diverse traditions which follow different ‘grammar', making encapsulation of medical knowledge a challenging task. Current advances in technology enable the aggregation of medical knowledge from varied traditions to confront difficult health issues for which cure is yet to be developed. In addition to accumulating knowledge from wide-ranging sources, an ideal crowdsourcing system can benefit from the use of appropriate software algorithms to select the best solution. This research suggests a step approach scheme to develop a crowdsourcing system for medical diagnosis by applying an existing classification of crowdsourcing. The proposed crowdsourcing system will involve the crowd and medical experts from across the world, who together with the help of software algorithms, could provide useful solutions for hitherto difficult to solve health problems.
