John Chelsom is CEO of Seven Informatics Ltd in the UK and Director of the Applied Health Informatics program at Fordham University, New York. He trained as an electrical engineer before gaining a PhD in artificial intelligence in medicine. As Managing Director of CSW Group from 1993 to 2008, John was responsible for the implementation of XML workflow and production systems for many major organisations, including the British Medical Journal, Jaguar Cars and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

CSW later developed Case Notes — an electronic health records product, using XML and other open standards. In 2003 the UK government chose Case Notes as the primary clinical system in a national architecture for a shared electronic health record covering the 55 million citizens in England.

Since 2010 he has been the lead architect of the open source cityEHR product — an XRX (Xforms, REST, XQuery) health records system currently used in a number of hospitals in England.

In 2000, John founded the XML Summer School and continues as a board member and lecturer in this annual event.

Abstract

Classical AI techniques: Bayesian networks, fuzzy logic, forward and backward chaining inference rules, etc. have proved useful in providing clinical decision support. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Workbench investigates how these might be used in an XRX (XForms, REST, XQuery) application with a view towards adding them to the cityEHR Electronic Health Records system.
