All About PIP Project
Mission and Goals of PIP Project
To develop the most advanced decision support system, in which:
- Intelligent Workflows and Processes can be created
- The knowledge that drives them is created by Users with simple computer skills, modified and maintained by them, and is in Modular form with high potential for Reuse
- The 'smarts' that control the processes can come from any source - Artificial or Natural Intelligence
- Interoperability is a core concern. This will ensure that it works with any third party system (e.g.. EHR or Clinical Information System)
- Extensibility and Adaptability for any kind of process is possible
Although Proteus should be adaptable for use in any domain (e.g., finance, education, legal) , the immediate goal is to create a Process Driven Clinical Decision Support System which can be used with any Clinical Information System or EMR

Logo
You may wonder what the logo that you see on each of the pages of this wiki depicts.
Wonder no more, for here is the answer.
The K in the logo standards for Knowledge or KCs (Knowledge Components), which lie at the heart of the Proteus concept. The square tablet like appearance is to represent the modularity of knowledge that is sacrosanct in Proteus. Modularity is what makes knowledge reusable and easily editable. The two arrows that emanate from K represent the workflow aspect of Proteus as well as the dynamic nature of the knowledge.
And what about the colors? Well, have you not been reading?! Did we not say Fun is value that we cherish as members of this project? The colors convey our sense of fun.
Now you know! Aren't you glad you asked!?
