Health trackers are being adopted by over 30% of individuals across all age groups - and the market is not letting us down, flooding us with dozens of devices to measure each health parameter. In case you are also lost among them, I collected the most reliable ones, and organized them by body parts and vital signs in an infographic. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #wearable #health #healthy #fromchancetochoice #healthtracking #healthtracker #fitnesstracker #infographic #healthparameters #vitalsigns …see more

The Wall Street Journal on "giant companies...husbanding cash, cutting costs and tapping debt, all moves that bolster their resilience amid persistent uncertainty." The risk is that this transitions in a big way to a "trickling up" of layoffs as large companies "re-size"/"right-size" for the dreaded New Normal 2.0. https://lnkd.in/gifchFJ #economy #markets #debt #cash #newnormal …see more

600 Members in under 24 hours!!! 😲 I used to be able to count all of the LinkedIn video creators on two hands. And now there are so many of us! Which is legit. But here’s the thing: ▪️ There are a bunch of changes coming to the platform. ▪️ None of us want this platform to get boring or lose its community aspect. ▪️ And I want to innovate and be surrounded/learn from those that feel the same way. So I’ve started a group for LinkedIn video innovators & it reached over 600 people in under 24 hours. If that’s you or you want to stay in the know: https://lnkd.in/duX8es9 Let’s crush it 🖖🏽. #justQ 🖤 …see more

Per this from CNBC : The drama continues on Wall Street. I strongly suspect a book on this, if not more, along with a movie. What is hard to predict at this stage is the ending ... not just for those directly involved but also for the broader asset prices, regulation, financial stability, market structure, and possibly, even spillovers to the economy. #markets #investing #investors #investment #wallstreet #robinhood #gme #gamestop #hedgefunds #retail #equities #economy …see more

The solid all day, no drama rally strengthened very nicely into the market close. The major US stock indices ended essentially at their highs for the day: gains of 7-8% (see Bloomberg chart below for the Dow). Per one of the posts of early this morning, the best thing about this rally is the driver: Medical optimism. The key now is to get reinforcing more positive news, again on the medical news. #stocks #markets #stocks #markets #bonds #investmentmanagement #selloff #volatility #investing #stockmarket #equities #centralbanks #interestrates #forex #yields #gold #ecb #fixedincome #eurozone #forex #yields #gold #ecb #fixedincome #eurozone #liquidity #monetarypolicy #cnbc #fed …see more

HOW WILL THIS END? AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The stock market was up huge today. I don't like it. I want the market to go up. I'm absolutely sure that there is a greater than 95% chance that the markets will be SIGNIFICANTLY higher in the near future. But as I wrote last week (when the market was higher than it is now), I DO NOT BUY when markets go UP OR DOWN 10% in a day. That's too insane. It means there is too much uncertainty. It means amateurs are getting in the game (or billionaires, who can afford more risk). The market is a barometer of uncertainty. But this is what I think will happen. And this is what I would do, given the data we now have. …see more

We are ready to launch #KalaariFellowship 3.0, an initiative to develop young talent in Indian #venturecapital ecosystem. “The best way of learning about anything is by doing” is a philosophy I strongly believe in. Current world challenges require diverse thinking, peer groups with varied experiences, #collaboration for risk-taking, & patient determination amongst other traits. The Fellowship is an apprenticeship model where individuals work directly with senior members at Kalaari Capital to develop real-world skills & a #leadership voice. We are looking for individuals who are impact-oriented, entrepreneurial, and self-driven. We highly value strong work ethics, integrity, passion, grit, and the ability to pursue excellence. Our best Fellows are problem solvers who bring a #learning mindset, great attitude, new ideas and fresh perspectives. Most importantly, they are willing to roll up their sleeves and get work done. If this excites you and think that you're a great fit, please do apply. More details below. (Glam has become the byword for working in a VC firm, successful VCs do work hard to keep up with their hardworking founders!) If you know someone who you think should apply for the program, we appreciate you forwarding this message. …see more

My calendar is almost always overflowing as my work involves a lot of internal and external stakeholders and requires a lot of debates and decision making.

Something we all may need to learn how to do better and bring more #mindfulness on how we spend our time. https://lnkd.in/eD8HJXW …see more

Startups are all about innovation, new products and accessing new markets. Good to see this Shradha Sharma !

Everyone is in their own fight club, but we don't talk about it... Because it's fight club! 💪 When I'm overwhelmed, I lean into a support system of badasses I have built since my health and career journeys collided. No, I'm not a health coach or fitness instructor and you'll never find me at a gym (introverts unite, at our homes, independently!) But health plays a serious role in my career because of incurable diseases and disability. Millions like me battle chronic illness while working full-time, running multiple businesses, and parenting - but these battles are hidden. From depression to cancer and everything in between... Please remember to be kind and supportive. And if you're struggling, Surround yourself with inspiring powerhouses that go through hell and back regularly just to get through the day! Start with the XXO community. Fuel your mindset & build your character with the company you keep. To this day, there is NO WAY I would be where I am in my health OR career journey without the incredible people I feel blessed to call connections and friends. Thank you for being supportive and kind during these intense phases of testing character! #motivation …see more

Mother Theresa said if everyone swept in front of their house then the end result would be a clean world.

What if instead of having to go to the hospital you could stay wherever you are and receive care there? What if your treatment was developed specifically for your condition and your organism instead of having been experimented based on the whole population? What if the doctor-patient relationship looked more like a partnership than a hierarchical connection? What if you, the patient owned all your health data instead of institutions? What if physicians served as guides in health management rather than give authoritative orders to their patients? What if everyone could access reliable medical knowledge instead of only medical professionals and researchers? We at The Medical Futurist are not just daydreaming - I believe this is what digital health is going to bring for the future of healthcare. Even the current global crisis has shown that some shifts can take place way more smoothly than we have imagined (just think about telemedicine). The infographic explains this vision. If you want to understand it and help it come true, I highly recommend this ebook bundle, 'The Future of Digital Health': https://lnkd.in/gt_a57x #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #book #reading #read #ebook …see more

I'll never understand why people think "Social" is a media channel. It made sense for about 4 months in 2008. All Media is Social, all Social is Media.

I've been quite excited about buying a new TV. For a while I've been waiting for OLED TV's to come down in price. I love electronics, my first job was as a salesperson in the UK version of Best Buy, I'm far more interested than most people. I've led and written tours at CES for the last 5 years. I started doing research only on 2020 model OLED screens from LG, it turns out you get to pick between the: CX Series GX Series BX Series C9 Series WX Series ZX Series Z9 Series E9 Series W9 Series RX Series - Who on earth would decide to sell such a massive variety of TV's within the small expensive NICHE that is OLED screen? - Why would you create such bizarre illogical names, with no obvious ranging in mind? -Why would you host them all on your owned website and offer no attempt to explain the differences between them. I don't think marketing is that easy, but I don't think it's this hard. Would it be so strange to 1) Use customer insights to inform product design, and use to offer clear differentiation in a meaningful way. 2) Offer clear ranging, how about the A Series, B Series, X Series. 3) Have a website that explains the features. It often seems that technology led companies are obsessed with making, then figure out how to sell them at the end. …see more

Realistically people do not buy the "why", they buy the what. Your "why" may help create your mission statement. It may be something that sets the product development agenda, it may help create and maintain company culture, or drive recruitment, and these things are absolutely vital. But realistically it's almost never the "why" that matters, it's the "what". I've no idea of the "why" any of my former employers, but I liked working there, it was "what" we did. I've no interest in why BMW exists or Apple, or Devialet or Aesop but I like their stuff. Enough with the total bollocks please. Let's not over think stuff, let's be real here.
