The idea of computable biomedical knowledge has existed for at least 50 years, in the context of clinical decision support systems. With recent pressures on health systems and staff and progress in AI and Learning Health Systems, it has become both more feasible and more important to mainstream this idea, as the US Mobilising Computerised Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) group has recognised.

On 29th October 2019, a group including the Faculty of Clinical Informatics, BCS Health & Care, HL7 UK, NICE, HDRUK and The Learning Healthcare Project held the first UK workshop on mobilising computable biomedical knowledge at the Friends House, Euston Road, London.

Professor of Digital Healthcare Jeremy Wyatt gave an overview of what computable biomedical knowledge is, the risks and benefits, and the scope of what the workshop hoped to achieve.

The Learning Health Systems journal (run by Chuck Friedman, global leader in MCBK, and published in collaboration with University of Michigan) is now accepting MCBK computable papers in addition to traditional human readable papers.
