I was in a panel at Wired Health in London about personalized healthcare. The point I always make about personalized healthcare is that healthcare systems will not be able to personalize care for me as much as I can do it for myself through digital health technologies and physicians who are my partners in this. But if you can challenge this and know healthcare sytems that already personalize care for its patients, please do share. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

What comes next? Will robots take our jobs? Could science make us immortal? Could virtual reality and digital communication ruin our relationships? How will our houses, our cars, and our everyday lives look in the next 20, 40 or 60 years? Instead of apocalyptic scenarios and utopian visions, we wanted to dive deep under the surface and understand the most possible options for our communities.

I regularly write science fiction short stories and I was looking for a book that teaches the art of storytelling and the way fictional universes are created. I found this book "Wonderbook: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction" from Jeff VanderMeer, author of my favorite scifi of recent years, Annihilation. It's not just an incredibly detailed guide to writing fiction but also a psychedelic journey of illustrations.

What if it were possible to test thousands of new molecules on billions of virtual patients in just a few minutes instead of requiring years of "ex vivo" and animal studies before human testing? What would be required to demonstrate such a capability? Explore this topic in more detail: http://amzn.to/1w0O3sx #technology #data #bigdata #health #healthcare …see more

It was a pleasure visiting the Hospices De Beaune in the Burgundy region of France today. The story of Chancellor Nicolas Rolin who in 1443 built a beautiful place to care for the poor and sick at no charge really struck me. He didn't cut corners and great thought went into creating a beautiful, compassionate environment for healing. Wealthier patients did pay a small fee and had more private accommodations. Many also freely donated. The church and King Louis also provided funds and nuns cared for the sick. Those funds insured that everyone received care. Nuns even made fresh bread every morning to give to the townspeople who were suffering after the hundred year war. Wine from grapes in the vineyard were sold to fund the hospital. To this day it is a symbol of great pride and compassion in the region. Care and compassion to those who are suffering in a community makes the entire community stronger and more peaceful. People who show up and support one another thrive. What would happen if in America there were smaller, regional models of care like this? Could communities create and find ways to fund care for everyone rich or poor? Would someone be willing to manage it without receiving a seven figure salary? #entrepeneurship #healthcare #business #community …see more

Entrepreneurship in so many ways is about designing one's life, but in the frenzy of the business of business, we (or should I say.....I) can lose our bearings.

Check out my NEW EPISODE with Jon Ronson Public!!! ---- He writes about psychopaths. He created a test called "The Psychopath Test." And wrote about it. I had him on to learn what it means to be mad. He told me how to spot the signs (and how it starts to haunt you). He also told me stories. Lots of them. About kids trapped in mental hospitals. Secret cults planning to take over the world. His writing style is sort of humorist meets gonzo-esque journalism. He puts himself directly in the center of a conspiracy. That's where this episode will take you...into the mind of a psychopath.  http://9nl.es/s2n6 …see more
