It’s always great to see exoskeletons being put into practice! Exoskeletons are robotic structures that can help make paralyzed people walk again. They’re attached to the joints in order to substitute muscle power when it’s needed.

What troubles you the most about our future? Let's play a game: ask me about the chances for the outcome of any public event that interests you - from healthcare through economics to politics. I became a superforecaster at the Good Judgement Project recently - a group of futurists working together with companies and institutions to help their decisions. I learn a lot there, and we work very hard to refine our forecasting skills. The project also seems to be effective - GJP superforecasters are reportedly 30% more accurate than intelligence officers with access to actual classified information. Now I invite you to brainstorm with me to provide likelihood of any future event of public concern together. Just write in a comment what you want to know about (e.g. "How many A.I.-based algorithms will the FDA approve by the end of 2020?"), and provide the options (from two to six items). If you feel like practicing forecasting skills, feel free to write your guesses for the likelihoods too! So, what is your question that keeps you awake at night? #DigitalHealth #forecasting #forecast #future #FutureOfHealthcare …see more

Digital health brings a cultural transformation in healthcare. We also confirmed it with a recent study, in which we conducted interviews with 11 opinion leader e-patients. We asked them about their relationship with their medical professionals, their experiences and beliefs about technologies, and how they see the future. As you might expect, they considered technology as a key player in patient empowerment, but each of them regarded it only as a means of a cultural shift: receiving more attention, time and empathy from caregivers. https://lnkd.in/giNcxdF #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #TMFI #research #epatient #patientempowerment …see more
