A great summary of what hyperfocus means and how we can achieve that on a daily basis. It also makes a great point about the importance of scattered focus in order to have hyperfocus regularly. Good tips and practical pieces of advice. I've always felt that hyperfocus is a good feature in my work but I've never imagined it could be developed further with some techniques. I use the Focus@Will app to listen to music that was measured to improve focus. What are your secret methods to achieve hyperfocus when you need it? Food, coffee, music or something else? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #book #reading #read …see more

Everyone seems to be building artificial intelligence-based software, also in healthcare, but no one talks about one of the most important aspects of the work: data annotation and the people who are undertaking this time-consuming, rather monotonous task without the flare that usually encircles A.I. Without the unsung heroes of data annotation, we will never have artificial intelligence. Kudos to all data annotators out there! Many thanks for the interviews to David Albert , Katharina von Loga and Felix Nensa ! #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

I talk a lot about what digital health is. It’s a cultural transformation initiated by advanced technologies that lead to an equal-level partnership between patients and their caregivers. But even huge organizations mistake it for simply a technological revolution. So let’s clear up the confusion, let’s see what is NOT digital health. #healthIT #digitalhealth #innovation #design #technology #health #healthcare …see more

This year we have launched an international, long-term campaign for every stakeholder in healthcare. As part of the From Chance To Choice initiative, we collected the best examples of how governments adopted digital health in a comprehensive policy report, published a revision of the Hippocratic Oath to adjust it to the 21st century, made my course “Lessons in Digital Health” open-access, designed a badge to facilitate communication between digitally savvy primary care physicians and their patients.

Weekly Look Ahead for the Global #economy and #markets What in the past would have been an interesting Q-3/Nov data week for the US will be largely dismissed because of how quickly things are evolving on the ground (fiscal package, covid developments, etc). Exception: Jobless claims. In Europe, watch for bans on movement of people/goods. …see more

... and, amidst all this, it's more than the same re the markets/economy disconnect: A "risk on" tone in #markets with Futures indicating a higher open for #stocks across all major indices; Oil prices up almost 3%; and The yield on 10-year US government #bonds edging higher. …see more

Look for the European Commission's spring forecasts to include significant downward revisions in economic activity indicators -- this at a time when the ECB is taking a defiant stance against the ruling of Germany's top court. #economy #europe #markets #eu #growth #centralbanks #germany #ecb

Call it years of conditioning or just active inertia! I'm eagerly waiting for the US jobs even though the information content is already stale.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, CHICAGO (TOMORROW) COME TO ZANIES COMEDY CLUB. Me and comic legend Tony Woods performing. I'll hang out after for any Q&A or meeting people, etc. Comment here or DM me or message me. All tickets, food, drink on me if you message me early enough. Just tell me how many. Hope to see people there. About Tony Woods: The NY Times recently wrote about him: ----- " When Dave Chappelle accepted the Mark Twain Prize, the most prestigious honor in comedy, the first person in the star-packed audience (Jon Stewart, Tiffany Haddish, Sarah Silverman) he singled out in his speech was Tony Woods. Comparing his influence to that of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie on Miles Davis, Chappelle spoke directly to Woods: “I was trying to play like you,” he said. “You were the first person I ever saw do it absolutely right.” ---- #Chicago #comedy …see more

WHAT DO YOU BID FOR THIS MOMENT? The only thing I know is that he froze to death. In 2014 his electricity was turned off and he never had it turned on again. Nobody knows why. He died from freezing to death in his $10,000,000 home on the Upper East Side January, 2018. His parents were the rich founders of furniture and design company, Knoll Associates. His father came to America to escape the Nazis and created a furniture empire. Peter Knoll, until the day he was found frozen at age 75, probably never had to work a day in his life. He was a collector. He once bought an Austin-Martin on a whim. He collected Rolexes, Picassos, all sorts of jewelry, furniture, artwork, millions of dollars of collectibles that probably sat in his dark townhouse while he shivered over them. How do I know? I saw them all yesterday..... --- continued at: https://lnkd.in/dtdcr5Y #auction #investing …see more
