We persecute and villainize individuals and families who fall prey to financial problems due to ‘bad decisions.’ Then our government shuts down because our decisionmakers can’t get it together. What a ridiculous double standard.

Great advices from thought leaders to the newly graduates (and technically anyone looking for a job) on how they should strategize and position themselves to land their desired job. As mentioned here, the outside the box thinking, being proactive, and acting strategically are key to success for those who are currently in the job market. Know that there are still a lot of open positions, believe in yourself, and take action! Good luck everyone! #newgrads #graduateschoolsandstudents #2020graduates #gethired #bestrtegic #beinnovative #thinkoutofthebox #findajob #behired #recruitingtips …see more

This is an awesome interview with David Pogue, analyzing Fitbit's 150 Billion Hours of Heart Rate da. My favorite part is that how the Resting Heart Rate trends validate that 7 hours sleep seems to be the healthiest amount. #fitbit #healthandwellness #health #digitalhealth #powerofdata …see more

My Take On JP Morgan/Chase/Amazon ‘HealthCo’ is: 1. Our Current-state HealthCare is so entrenched in a broken paradigm that people (other companies actually) “want in” on anything different and promising. 2. That there is such little faith and trust in our current system and it’s leadership, that people (again, companies) are willing to ‘jump ship...’ especially when the leadership of HealthCo has a strong performance track record. 3. That everyone from doctors and nurses and patients and administrators are, well, sick and tired of trying to improve healthcare only to be blocked by the “fee-for-service-at every-juncture “ model. I for one, am no different and hope someone from HealthCo calls me to get involved! …see more

A new report looking at artificial intelligence in healthcare has found that Microsoft comes top in terms of perceived strength of their AI solutions, ahead of IBM, Amazon and Google. The future of digital health and A.I. is unimaginable without the contribution of technology companies that have no history in healthcare. We analyzed the role Microsoft and other tech giants will play in healthcare in our executive summary, Tech Giants in Healthcare.

Throughout my career as a futurist and a keynote speaker, I've worked with the biggest pharma companies such as Pfizer, Roche, Novartis, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Sanofi. These years of collaboration have helped me gain an oversight of the major trends and expectations in the pharmaceutical industry. We'll hold our next live Q&A just about that: the future of pharma. Join me next Tuesday, on 22th September, at 4 pm CEST/10 am EDT and ask me anything you'd like to know in the topic! I recommend reading our recently updated e-book as the foundation for our discussion: 'Technologies Shaping the Future of Pharma'.

Amazon collaborated with Mayo Clinic to develop a COVID-19 symptom checking tool - gradually promoting Alexa to a digital doctor. Google - unexpectedly and extraordinarily - teamed up with Apple to develop a contract-tracing app. Facebook decided to step up against misinformation at last - a long-overdue action that only COVID-19 could bring forth. The pandemic triggered tech companies to make even bigger leaps towards dominating the healthcare sector - a trend we couldn't walk by without an in-depth analysis and an overall update of our ebook, 'Tech Giants in Healthcare'. Even if you've read the original edition, it's definitely worth to check the new one that reflects on the newest developments and the impact of COVID-19 - download it here: https://lnkd.in/g_wbucU #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #book #reading #read #ebook #COVID19 #COVID_19 #coronavirus #techgiants #techcompanies …see more

With our report, 'Digital Health Best Practices For Policy Makers', our main goal is to have an impact on national and corporate level health policies, and to be able to start a conversation with policymakers on how digital health is imperative for new healthcare regulations. I'm delighted that during the recent months, countries such as the Netherlands and Germany have embraced this approach - and this is why I'll be glad to discuss these topics in November upon the invitation of the German Federal Minister of Health. The report is accessible to everyone - feel free to read it, share it and make a difference! https://lnkd.in/dFzWVQ4 #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice …see more

MIT Technology Review published an excellent short study about how 900 healthcare professionals see A.I. today and what they expect from the future. While the report debunks many myths surrounding A.I., I think a key finding is on this image. 75% of medical staff who have AI agree that it has enabled better predictions in the treatment of disease. This is a good start and many A.I.-based methods and systems have not even been proven yet through evidence-based medicine. Moreover, Prof. Michael Brady from the University of Oxford noted that "When we combine AI-based imaging technologies together with radiologists, what we have found is that the combination of the AI technology and the radiologist outperforms either the AI or the radiologist by themselves.” This should go on a T-shirt!

At The Medical Futurist Institute, we interviews the world's most popular, thought leaders e-patients about how they see the future of their doctor-patient relationship. While all of them use digital health technologies in their care, do you know what they asked for? Not A.I. and sensors, but empathy, time and real connection with their physicians. This is the promise of digital health if we implement it in the right way. https://lnkd.in/giNcxdF #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #TMFI #research …see more

Patient empowerment, the spread of digital technologies and the widening access to medical information coupled with global doctor shortages, rising life expectancy and the ever-higher numbers of chronic diseases call for a change in the practice of medicine. The centuries-old approach to the medical profession cannot deal with the waves of the 21st century. Physicians should experience a shift from the lone wolf to the curious team player, from the rule follower to the creative and from the demigod to the guide in the jungle of digital health. That’s the main argument of the latest publication of The Medical Futurist Institute entitled The Rise of the Empowered Physician in the Digital Health Era published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. https://lnkd.in/gwySShp #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #TMFI #research …see more
