What trauma doctors and nurses know ...the issue is NOT guns, but rather it’s the type of gun that will kill you. Just like how all viruses do not pack the same “killing punch,” it’s the same for guns. Years ago I worked in an inner-city trauma center and saw gun shot victims every shift. And you know what? Most lived. But that was before there were many high velocity weapons used in the streets. Just like viruses differ in their ability to inflict morbidity so does the “strain” or type of gun. Selected Excerpt from The Atlantic: “Routine handgun injuries leave entry and exit wounds and linear tracks through the victim’s body that are roughly the size of the bullet. If the bullet does not directly hit something crucial like the heart or the aorta, and the victim does not bleed to death before being transported to our care at the trauma center, chances are that we can save him. The bullets fired by an AR-15 are different: They travel at a higher velocity and are far more lethal than routine bullets fired from a handgun. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. A typical AR-15 bullet leaves the barrel traveling almost three times faster than—and imparting more than three times the energy of—a typical 9mm bullet from a handgun.” …see more

I announced this April that I would take a sabbatical for just a month from speaking as I'd been doing keynotes and speeches 4-5 times every month for more than 7 years. Now I'm back on track with a keynote for Amgen about the future of a biopharmaceutical company in a technological world and how patients who are the point-of-care will change the business model of pharma. It feels good to be on the stage again and challenge people. I hope to see you somewhere on my speaker tours. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

What can we expect from healthcare leaders and policy makers when open access artificial narrow intelligence based softwares become available? For example, if I upload my own chest X-ray onto this free website, it could diagnose 14 diseases with 80% accuracy. There’s no co-pay and the consultation is completely private. It’s based on an open-source A.I. that runs inside a web browser. What if such tools become widely available and patients will not only bring the issues they find online but also the results of extended analyses they did with A.I.? If physicians today don't encourage their patients to look for medical information online, how will they deal with such tools? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

IT WORKS!!! Finally! It wakes you up at the best time so you start the day easily. I've been the biggest fan of the smart sleep alarm. For years, it has changed my life. To make it happen, I had to use the Sleep as Android app and a compatible smartwatch (Pebble, in my case). Since Fitbit added a smart alarm app to its Ionic and some other devices, it has become a really simple and straightforward feature in my life. If you have a Fitbit, have you tried the smart sleep alarm? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #wearable #health #healthy #fromchancetochoice #sleep …see more

Re fiscal policy implications of vaccine news. Inclination is to argue that fiscal support is no longer needed. That would be wrong: Pending the adoption of the vaccine, it is important to minimize both deaths/long-term health damage and short-term economic/social problems becoming deeply embedded in countries' structure. #covid #covid__19 #covid19economy #vaccines …see more

Please see below for median expectations for this morning's US jobs report (from Bloomberg Markets).
