Knowledge Economy
Exploitation of Knowledge for improving human experience/effectiveness, social and economic gains
Computer + Human Knowledge (knowledge discovery, insight)
Computer + Collective Action Collective Intelligence (Knowledge)
Computer (IR,ML,NLP) + Knowledge = (better extraction, next gen search) learning, insight
Humanknowledge + Computer Representation = Situated Cognition
Computer + Human + Knowledge(better) Interaction, (improved) Human Experience, (higher) Productivity

The Memex Vision
[Vannevar Bush]
Of now the human brain navigates an information space …
“It operates by association. With one item in its grasp, it snaps instantly to the next that is suggested by the association of thoughts, in accordance with some intricate web of trails carried by the cells of the brain.”

As part of Nationwide Health Information Network effort, Center for Healthy Communities (CHC) will use its HIExTM system, supported through Wright State HealthLink and medical providers to electronically transmit data from their certified EHRs to the Social Security Administration (SSA). This will improved quality of care through analysis of large data sets documenting treatments and outcomes. Knoesis will be in the forefront creating the systems intelligence to better understand this complex, integrated information both at the individual provider level and in the realm of population health. CHC received ~1M contact from SSA.
