This is how the various Crypto Pyramid Schemes work. If you've a degree of influence or some credibility: 1)Buy your Coin of choice. 2)Pump it as much as you can. Leverage the power of today's media that loves articles that look fantastical and drive clicks.  3)Make outlandish predictions about it's growth. 4)Recruit others, They hear this & buy in ( so the price goes up) 5)You now have an army of people who will now pump & hype the currency for you and passionately so, after all they have skin in the game.  6)By now you have a good growth history and trajectory.  7)You celebrate those who you recruited earlier to "predict the growth" which now means the world thinks those people somehow objectively can see the future or knew more.  8) People now listen to those "gurus" , and thus their predictions inherently drive growth.  And here's the thing. Since all assets prices are set by trust and confidence, the currency could create its own sustainable value & everyone is exonerated and smug. Or probably 99% of the time the whole thing crashes. But I promise you this. 99.9999999% of the people promoting these things are people who own this stuff and are pumping it irrationally to create their own wealth.

Interview with Charlie Hoehn : "THE OPPOSITE OF PLAY ISN'T WORK, IT'S DEPRESSION." There’s a strong evolutionary component to play. Our bodies were built to hunt and gather and move. Humans aren’t meant to stay still. “The research is pretty clear. They have done experiments. They’ve deprive animals of play—they give them love, nurturing, food, shelter, all the things they need to survive— but they deprive them of play, the animal inevitably grows up to be socially and emotionally crippled," Charlie said. Charlie calls it “chronic-play deprivation.” And I think many people suffer from that. It’s the transition from childhood to adulthood. Statistically, children laugh an average of 300 times a day. But adults laugh an average of 3-5 times a day. Charlie said he was approaching life “so seriously and joylessly. And very much in terms of what’s the output, what’s the income, what’s the money pay-off.” What’s the pay-off? I had to repeat that line. Since there never was a pay-off. It’s always a false promise society wants us to believe. So I asked, “How did you learn to play again?” THREE STEPS TO PLAY STEP #1: http://bit.ly/2tK3wFK …see more

Here is the UPDATED infographic about the 40 trends that I think shape digital health and the future of healthcare. When my book, The Guide to the Future of Medicine came out, I released an infographic about the 40 trends of digital health. I wanted to visualize the trends and innovations that shape the future of medicine from 3 perspectives: - Which stage of the delivery of healthcare and the practice of medicine is affected by that (Prevent & Prepare; Data Input & Diagnostics; Therapy & Follow-up; and Outcomes & Consequences); - Whether it affects patients or healthcare professionals; - The practicability of it (already available – green boxes; in progress – orange boxes; and still needs time – red boxes) The infographic represents the way I see the development of key trends and innovations in the process of delivering healthcare. For those interested in the same analysis from 2016, here is the original one. http://bit.ly/2XxxR9l #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #infographic #infographics #business #health #telemedicine #genetics #healthy #innovations #consumer #research #medtech #innovation #wearable #biotech …see more

Researchers at the University of Tübingen tried to train an A.I. to learn to identify a specific fish called tench on pictures. When they looked into the A.I. to see how it tries to identify that fish, they found out that the #AI was looking for human fingers against a green background as most of the tench photos in the training data featured a fisherman holding the fish in their hands after catching it. Can you imagine how useful it would be in medicine to point out such things before an algorithm is developed? This way, we could avoid so many false negatives, false positives and bias built into the algorithms. For example, radiologists looked at the ChestXray14 dataset of X-ray images and discovered that many of the images of patients with pneumothorax had a chest drain on the image as treatment already started when doing the X-ray. A #MachineLearning algorithm tasked with identifying X-rays of pneumothorax would probably look for the drain in the images as a perfect sign of the condition (they have to perform as well as humans would do, not learn to diagnose the condition), this way, missing patients with the condition who have not been treated yet. Can you think of an example in your practice (medical or not) where such subtle observations exist? …see more

SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STUDENT LOAN DEBT - 44 MILLION Americans are in student loan debt. - There is $1.5 TRILLION in student debt., up from $200 billion in 2004. - Income for people ages 18-35 have gone DOWN since 1992. - At age 18, you can BORROW $200,000 but you can't drink a beer. - Student loan debt is the ONE debt that doesn't go away in a bankruptcy. The government WILL go after you. - Because of this, college tuitions have gone up TEN TIMES FASTER than inflation since 1977 (healthcare has gone up 3x faster). - 50% of students have student loans. Up from 15% in 1989. - The president of Quinnipiac College (where?) makes $3.5 million in salary (I just use this as an example to show where these rising tuitions are going). This has led to rising income inequality, less young entrepreneurs and innovation. Solutions: - relief of student loan debt so America remains in the lead of innovation. - Accreditation of online universities: increasing supply will reduce price. - system where investors can "buy" 10% of future income. Moving funding into the private sector. - spread awareness of companies that do not require a degree: Examples: Google, Hilton, Apple, IBM, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, etc. don't require a degree. #college #success …see more

How do we create habit-forming products? First, start by understanding what drives our actions. Dr. BJ Fogg at Stanford University developed a model showing that in order to initiate any and all behaviors, a product needs three things: 1. The user must have sufficient motivation: Why are they using the product? 2. The user must have the ability to complete the desired action: How easy is it to use the product? 3. A trigger must be present to activate the behavior: Is there a clear call to action? The Fogg Behavior Model tells us that if any component of this formula is missing or inadequate. #Hooked #ProductDesign #UX #HabitFormation …see more

A few years ago, Google went on a mission: Discover how to build the perfect team. The study was code-named "Project Aristotle," a tribute to the famous philosopher's belief that it's possible to have a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. . After poring through the data, the researchers clearly ranked one factor as most important: Psychological safety. Google describes it this way: "In a team with high psychological safety, teammates feel safe to take risks around their team members. They feel confident that no one on the team will embarrass or punish anyone else for admitting a mistake, asking a question, or offering a new idea." In other words, Google discovered that for teams to work well together, team members must feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Then, and only then, can they contribute to their full potential.

When we reach the point that even your neighbor talks about telemedicine, or your high school niece is about to take a genetic test, you know that digital health is ubiquitous. It's already a buzzword. But how do you know which of the digital health breakthroughs have a historical significance beyond the daily hype? Because digital health leads to way more than exciting gadgets and high-end wellness services. Digital health is a cultural transformation and since the day I started focusing my research on that, I've known that this transformation would be a great challenge. So, we thought that showing a timeline of the major milestones that led us here might help you get a clear picture about where digital health stems from and where it is going. It gives you context about the major innovations. It shows events that have a historical effect not only on digital health, but also bring about the cultural transformation we all look forward to.

What's the difference between health IT and digital health? Even medical professionals and policy makers confuse these two terms, so I invented the Gary-rule as a simple guideline: If a technological issue comes up in a healthcare setting and we have to call Gary, the IT guy, as he is alone capable of solving it, it’s an IT issue. If Gary is not enough to solve the issue because more stakeholders must get involved, it’s digital health.

The last step to becoming indistractable is to prevent distraction with pacts. Pacts are decisions we cement well in advance of the temptations we know might come and there are three types that can help us stay productive: effort pacts, price pacts, and identity pacts. Effort pacts are precommitments that involve increasing the amount of effort required to do something you don’t want to do. Adding additional friction forces you to ask if a distraction is really worth the extra effort. Price pacts put money on the line to help you stay productive. If you stick to your intended behavior, you keep the cash. If you get distracted, you forfeit your funds. The most powerful of all these pacts, though, is the identity pact. Your self-image has a profound impact on your behavior. By taking on a new identity, you empower yourself to make decisions based on who you believe you are. If you tell yourself you are the kind of person who is easily distracted, it becomes true. However, if you believe that you are indistractable, you empower yourself to respond healthily to whatever distractions get in your way. You aren’t somebody with a “short attention span” or an “addictive personality.” You’re indistractable! #Indistractable #BehaviorChange #Pacts …see more

Ego-depletion is a theory that willpower is connected to a limited reserve of mental energy, and once you run out of that energy, you're more likely to lose self-control. But new studies suggest that we've been thinking about willpower all wrong and that the theory of ego-depletion isn't true. Much like motivation, viewing willpower through the old and not-quite accurate lens can cause us to get working toward more willpower and less distraction wrong.

I just came across a great paper describing the difference between anonymization vs pseudonymization. Both represent important methods for protecting the privacy of patients whose data take part in studies and are analyzed by artificial intelligence. Currently, these are the most widely used privacy preservation techniques for medical datasets: 1) Anonymization is the removal of private data from a medical record. Simply, they delete parts of data such as name, gender or age. 2) Pseudonymization is the replacement of sensitive entries with artificially generated ones. They simply replace data such as name, gender or age with synthetic ones. It's harder than it sounds. Interestingly, the paper concludes that "De-identification by naive anonymization or pseudonymization alone must therefore be viewed as a technically insufficient measure against identity inference." But authors don't leave us in the dark, but recommend techniques that can indeed enhance patients' privacy.

Locus of control is a concept developed by psychologist Julian Rotter. It refers to the extent that individuals believe that they can control the events that affect them. A person with an internal locus of control believes that success or failure is due to their own efforts, while a person with an external locus of control believes that success or failure is controlled by other people, environmental factors, chance, or fate.

I received so many questions about this smartphone case that measures vital signs that here are some more details about it. The review, of course, will be on medicalfuturist.com in April. I attach the cover to the back of my smartphone, download the app and can use different parts of the case to measure the vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, ECG or blood oxygen levels. So far, my experience with it is that it measures these fast and it's easy to access the data on the app. Some parameters such as blood pressure or blood glucose level require a third party device but that's fairly obvious.

Distraction is dangerous. Perception mistakes caused by healthcare practitioners while working in hospitals, injure hundreds of thousands of Americans annually. A group of nurses at the University of California, San Francisco wanted to figure out why this was happening. Here’s what they found 👇 The reason people were being given the wrong medication was because nurses were distracted. Seriously! When nurses were dosing out medication for patients, they were interrupted, on average, ten times per dosing round. These constant interruptions were the source of avoidable mistakes. So, how did they address this? They didn’t need to spend millions on a new program or technology. Nurses wore cheap plastic vests that read, “drug round in progress. Do not disturb.” Mistakes dropped by 88%. Whether it’s finishing a project for work or dosing out life-saving medicine, we cannot do our best work when we’re constantly being interrupted. Do you sometimes feel like a nurse constantly interrupted and distracted? How do you block out distractions?

I hear more and more about Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) while learning about artificial intelligence but I haven't been able to comprehend it properly. Now I just heard a good analogue and I thought I would share it with you. There is a painter who wants to create better and better fake Picasso paintings and a policeman who wants to spot these fakes with an increasing efficiency. What happens is that the painter keeps getting better at making fakes, while the policeman keeps getting better at detecting those. The two models keep trying to beat each other and after many iterations, the painter creates images indistinguishable from a real Picasso. This was the goal of the whole GAN. It's crucial in medicine where privacy concerns limit the amount of available data because GANs can fill in the missing data, making it possible to produce entirely fabricated patient datasets that are just as useful for training AI as the real thing. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

I started testing this pulse oximeter and will come back with the findings next week. The oxygen levels in the blood of COVID-19 patients can drop to dangerously low levels without them noticing, also known as "silent hypoxia". As a result, patients have been arriving in hospital in far worse health than they realised and, in some cases, too late for effective treatment. A pulse oximeter allows patients to monitor their oxygen levels at home, and costs about £20. #pulseoximeter #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #COVID19 #COVID_19 #coronavirus …see more

What factors affect the likelihood of any particular human action? Research suggests that six “Elements of Simplicity” play a significant role. According to BJ Fogg of Stanford's Persuasive Technology Lab, ‘non-routine’ is one of these six elements. This can entail sticking to a routine, even in the face of other barriers, in hopes of maintaining simplicity. For example, someone could potentially pay more for gas at a given station because it is familiar and simple to do so. Check out the article in the comments to read more on this!

If you ask the average person what the opposite of distraction is, they might use the f-word. That's right, they might tell you the opposite of distraction is “focus.” ...but the truth is, that isn’t exactly right. The opposite of distraction is traction -- and here's why 👇👇👇 The words “distraction” and “traction” both come from the same Latin root,“trahare,” meaning “to pull.” “Distraction” and “traction” also end in the same six letters: A-C-T-I-O-N. Traction, by definition, is any ACTION that pulls you TOWARD things you do with intent. The opposite of traction? DIS-traction. Distraction is any action that pulls you AWAY from what you planned to do. These are things that move us away from our values. These are things done WITHOUT intent. In order to understand whether or not something is a distraction, you have to ask yourself: Is this what I planned to do with my time? If you're catching up on emails at the dinner table when you planned to have a family meal, that's distraction. If you planned to check email at your desk and start checking the news, that’s also a distraction.

An important part of building a habit-forming product is finding the right reward mechanic. In May 2007 a Q&A website named Mahalo utilized a special incentive to get users to ask and answer questions: Money. People who submitted a question offered a bounty in the form of a virtual currency, the best response received the bounty, and could be exchanged for real money. At its high point, 14.1 million users visited the site monthly. But over time, users began to lose interest. As Mahalo struggled to retain users, another Q&A site began to boom: Quora . Unlike Mahalo, Quora didn’t offer money as a reward. So why have users remained highly engaged with Quora? Because people did not want to use a Q&A site to make money. Quora instituted an upvoting system that reports user satisfaction with answers and provides a steady stream of social feedback. Quora’s social rewards have proven more attractive than Mahalo’s monetary rewards. Only by understanding what truly matters to users can a company correctly match the right reward to their intended behavior. #Hooked …see more
