Dr. Freddy Abnousi, Head of Healthcare at Facebook, published a paper with his colleagues in JAMA about Social Determinants of Health in the Digital Age. They argue that: "Social media user profiles represent archives of people’s activities and connections, curated in real time. This information has the potential to improve understanding of the social determinants of health in a deeper way than prior data sources have ever allowed, and, in turn, identify novel targets that could meaningfully influence health outcomes." This would mean a big boost for digital biomarkers. What chance do you think such sets of data have to become biomarkers that could be used in studies? #biomarker #healthcare #health #medicine #digitalhealth …see more

Dr. Zsuzsanna Varga, a primary care physician in Budapest, put the Ask Me About Digital sticker on her door.  She said that “a young girl came in the other day, who saw the badge earlier that week, so she was brave enough to come in and show me the pictures she took with her phone on her urticaria that only comes in the morning. The patient also told me about how she googled her symptoms but couldn’t find any reasonable explanation. She was happy about the badge because she has mixed experiences of googling and interpreting it to healthcare practitioners. I think it’s a great possibility to get closer to younger generations because she felt safe and understood, so she won’t be hesitating next time she has any problem”.  You can get your own badge for free by sending your address to badge@medicalfuturist.com .

A few months ago, I bought the entire Internet. I wanted to educate people about #cryptocurrencies. I thought there were a lot of scams out there and I wanted to tell people about it. But to get attention in today's attention-glutted economy, you have to #advertise. We tested thousands of #ads. The ads that worked were the ugliest, most vile looking pictures of me. I don't know why they worked. It was like the "protocols of the elders of Zion" version of the ads. Me, with gold coins in my eyes and fire in the background. Then, when you had a chance, you trashed me. I made a mistake: I tried to respond to your hate... https://lnkd.in/dF4wBee …see more

Recently, I took a vacation. At 1 point I needed to catch up on a few things, so I asked my wife if I could leave her and the kids on the beach while I head to Starbucks for a few hours to catch up on emails. She agreed. So, I walked my family onto the beach, helped them get set up, then started to walk away. My little girl stopped me dead in my tracks.
