How many of you had to reconsider your overall business model and functioning due to COVID-19? By putting all events on hold and upsetting healthcare and life in general, we at The Medical Futurist definitely did. We turned this junction into an opportunity to create an online community on Patreon, where I share high-quality, exclusive content, and we can even experiment with new forms of communication (a long-time dream come true!). If you join our Patreon community, you can not only contribute to the further activities of The Medical Futurist but also partake of personal analyses, short videos, a podcast and various other things you don't find elsewhere. Rest assured that we keep on providing the usual free content on all our channels as usual, of course. If you join now, you can try any of our Patron packages for free - the first payment is only due by 1st May, you can cancel your subscription free of charge until that. I hope I can see you there onwards too though! https://lnkd.in/gJet4TS #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #Patreon #patreonexclusive #exclusivecontent #premiumcontent #community #digitalhealthcommunity …see more

When people talk about A.I. in general, most of them don't exactly know what they refer to. This is the figure I use in my keynotes that focus on the role of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare to make this clear. This is based on Nick Bostrom's three levels of A.I.: artificial narrow -> general -> super intelligence. I also describe how great it would be just not to reach artificial general intelligence but still enjoy the benefits of a strong A.I. system. What chance (%) you give humanity that we will reach artificial general intelligence and we will still remain relevant? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #TMFchessjourney …see more

Better treatment options, dietary conditions and (perhaps) less stress could make the life of the rich also healthier. However, when it comes to longevity and aging, do they really have better chances? Can the upper 0.1 percent secure their health for long decades or even reverse the process of growing old? Could society somehow also benefit from the quest of the richest for longevity? #business #design #technology #bigdata #health #healthcare #future . #longevity …see more

3D bioprinting is a mind-boggling technology that emerged in the 21st century. The idea of lab-grown tissues could mean the end of testing drugs on animals and humans, and it could be the solution for organ shortages, ending the desperate state of organ donations worldwide. #3dprinting #digitalhealth #design #technology #healthcare …see more

We are working on a very exciting project and I've been interviewing experts outside healthcare and I need your help. Who are doing something extraordinary technology-wise in agriculture, education, architecture and transportation? It doesn't have to be related to healthcare at all. Thank you!

They developed the first diagnostic platform that can simultaneously screen for all known human pathogenic bacteria as well as markers for virulence and antibiotic resistance.

I'll travel less for the next 1,5 weeks therefore I'm more available for interviews about digital health technologies. If you need any insights or stories for your article, please feel free to reach out.

I wrote a paper about what medical technologies we will need to get the first crew to Mars and how to keep them healthy there. The essence of it is the same as in digital health: they need to get involved in their care. What technologies do you think they will need to provide care so far from Earth? #technology   #health   #healthcare   #Mars   #space …see more

Who else thinks this is a good idea? Sound proof pods in every airport terminal where you can take a call or virtual meeting between flights. It would be a membership tied to an app to schedule and reserve blocks of time in the pod. #businessopportunity#business #business
