Multiple job titles on your LinkedIn dilutes your brand. It's a common thing I see on LinkedIn headlines... I see it as a brand clash, they put their full-time job with their side hustle. You can see their internal battles. Easy or hard? Stability or freedom? Be their own boss? The real question they should ask themselves is: 🍗 what's my USP? Another question to consider: 🍗 what's my core mission in life 🍗 how can I serve others? A portfolio of job titles definitely shows your breath of skills, but it doesn't add anything to your brand. Instead, think of a strong positioning statement. #stringtheory on #personalbranding …see more

You’re not closing clients because they are unclear. Unclear with what you are offering. Unclear why to work with you. Unclear how you can help them. Especially when you transitioned or pivoted your business. Branding is all about clarity. How you position yourself. How you brand yourself. How you market yourself. How you do things better than your competitors. Need help with branding? There’s a 101 guide on personal branding - see and read it here: https://lnkd.in/gNdGU43 #stringtheory on #personalbranding …see more

What happened when we realized we had to cancel our in-person Demo Day? We turned it into a digital event with 3x our normal RSVPs. But more than that, we put our founders first. When 500's international founders felt drawn to fly back to their respective countries given the COVID-19 crisis, the team got together and figured out a Digital Demo Day that worked best for them. “The entrepreneurial spirit will prevail even if what results is less than what’s perfect.” - Aaron Blumenthal Last week made me proud to stand for founders no matter the circumstances. I could not be more grateful for my teammates Emily King , Maura McInerney-Rowley , Aaron Blumenthal , Tracy Barba , and everyone else who made it possible. Congratulations Batch 26! …see more

I admire Richard Branson in so many ways. He's my role model for his unmatched entrepreneurial talent, his impeccably positive attitude, and his contagious energy he spreads throughout the world.

Depidemic is one of the new terms of 2020. A pandemic that led to mental health issues too worldwide. In a recent study, researchers were shocked to see how quickly telepsychology was adopted. “The shift from 7% of clinical work to more than 85% represents a lot of heavy lifting in a very short time.” So we had to look into what has happened to remote care in psychiatry and how telepsychiatry has changed the profession in less than a year. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology …see more

SkinVision issued a study, in which it proves the usefulness of its app with good enough evidence: that it can monitor skin lesions and point out those that a dermatologist should check fairly well. Fairly well: the paper passed peer reviews, their data proves the tool's accuracy. But, it was SkinVision itself that sponsored the study. I just received a contact form asking my opinion about a study with similar features. It was about a VR company's product, and sponsored by the same VR company. I'm a bit torn: more and more companies are publishing studies that meet scientific standards, but were sponsored by the same company. Probably without them, these studies wouldn't even exist. But this way, those are not independent studies. What's your view in this dilemma? What should these companies do if they wanted to provide evidence but not in a sponsored study? #ScientificStudy #MedicalResearch #DermatologyResearch #ResearchEthics #DigitalHealth …see more

I just had an excellent time in Amsterdam at the global event of MAPS, a non-profit global society of Medical Affairs professionals. I talked about the patient perspective and why digital health makes patients the point-of-care. There was an amazing question whether HAL 9000 in my favorite movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, is an artificial narrow, general or superintelligence. I said that as they could shut it down, it has not reached the level of general yet. Or... what do you think? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

I gave a keynote at Invisalign's event in Berlin about the future of densitry. I tried to prove to them that even in dentistry, digital health technologies make patients the point-of-care and advanced technologies such as A.I. can augment the capabilities of dentists, letting them enjoy what they do.

Moravec paradox represents a super exciting issue in the world of artificial intelligence. It basically says that high-level reasoning requires much less computation than low-level sensorimotor skills. In short, it's easier to write a program to be the CEO of a major company than to be a coal miner. As Hans Moravec writes, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility". Regarding the A.I. era of medicine, it might mean that it makes more sense to teach an algorithm to get better at certain skills important for us working in healthcare than expect programmers to write a code that can do it right away. Meaning we have to be very patient with algorithm when they come to medicine. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

There is an information gap in primary care. Many patients use digital health technologies but are afraid to ask questions about those. Many physicians could help with them but can't encourage their patients to raise those issues because they are already overwhelmed. We believe that the missing link between patients and doctors going digital might just be a badge on the door: https://lnkd.in/gspseYi #health #medicine #healthcare #healthy #digitalhealth #askmeaboutdigital #getyoursforfree …see more

Expecting robust fiscal and monetary policy stimulus, stocks closed at new record highs. On the fixed income side, the yield on 10-year US government bonds continued to rise. At 1.08%, the differential with Germany is now over 160 bps.

As I feared (below), initial jobless claims came in above consensus expectation -- well above. Jumping by over 100,000 in one week, the latest weekly reading constitutes the highest level of new joblessness for almost three months. Even more worrisome, the next few weeks may be worse. …see more
