I’ve had 35 in-person keynote speeches cancelled since March. Since then, I’ve been working on the future of keynotes. It’s like creating a whole new world and my aim is no less than to surpass the live event experience. I’ve still got a couple of appearances until the end of the year, but 2021 will see the transformed version of the keynote genre. Stay tuned! #virtualkeynotes #futureofkeynotes #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more
After this Jumanji year of 2020, the world is eagerly anticipating 2021. But what can we really expect from the new year? A trusted vaccine and more grandma time?

I've designed 3 scenarios to help you prepare for 2021. 🧚 the fairy tale ✌️ the optimistic 😫 the pessimistic Check out my video on it, and let me know your thoughts! #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #COVID19 #COVID_19 #coronavirus #2021 #futurescenarios …see more
5G received unusually high healthcare-related attention in recent months. It wasn't the type of constructive and positive attention though. Rather than due to its potentials to enhance telemedicine, facilitate robotic procedures, or to bring the most out of A.I., it got into the focus of completely unfounded theories about 5G spreading the virus. It's already proven that 5G will not only NOT kill us, but could be a key in managing future outbreaks. Check out the numerous ways how it can save lives. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #health #healthy #video #youtube #studio #5G #5Gnetwork …see more
If you had to say a milestone in the history of digital health such as the first e-patient white paper, the first FDA approval for an A.I.-based medical algorithm or the first electronic prescription system in a country, what milestone would come to your mind?
I was honored to give a keynote about how digital health technologies change the future of pharma at a pwc event in Washington. Here is a sneak peek into the day. I had an excellent time with Thomas Goetz and it was great seeing Peter Diamandis again. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more
Just as we can't avoid Google, Facebook and tech giants of their like playing a significant role in our lives, we can't avoid digital health and A.I. playing a significant role in healthcare. These two trends set tech giants as protagonists in healthcare innovation - be it a health app, assistance in transport, or why not even own healthcare facilities? Understand how these new interrelations will impact the art of medicine from these 3 e-books: https://lnkd.in/gDEU5ZM #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #book #reading #read #ebook …see more
You have more in common with the first to-be astronauts to Mars than you would think. Patients in the future have to be involved in their care just as astronauts with limited access to healthcare facilities and communication with doctors on the ground. The key to both is digital health, which will have to assist Marsonauts just as making patients the point-of-care. In this research article, I describe why and how this digital transformation is going to take place in healthcare and space missions alike. How do you feel about being in the same situation as an astronaut? https://lnkd.in/geNQ5tG #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #TMFI #research #Mars #astronaut #healthinspace …see more
Perhaps it feels good to know that artificial intelligence - just like us, humans - is not perfect. What's more, it can be hacked. This video is about one of the most inconceivable ways of hacking A.I. - seems funny, not if you walk ahead of a self-driving car with this sheet in your hands. In this article, we mentioned this among several other tricks against A.I. - from more comical to ones with possibly lethal consequences: #healthcare #business #medicine #ai #artificialintelligence …see more
There has been some controversy around our article mentioning IBM Watson among the biggest flops in digital health. What do you think about it - is it a success or failure?

What do opinion leader e-patients expect from their empowerment, digital health and healthcare in the future? We were also curious, and found unequivocal and clear answers in our research: it's not high-tech devices - rather empathy, shared decision-making and mutual respect. Read the results here: …see more
Is China building the ultimate technological health paradise? Or is it a healthcare dystopia in the making? China, the emerging giant with a strong central leadership fostering technology and innovation, places its bets on artificial intelligence, telemedicine, cloud-based hospitals, and WeChat. While that could sound like an ultimate technological paradise, the question is, what are they going to do with the vast amount of data or to what interests are they going to leverage their state of the art A.I. systems? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #health #healthy #video #youtube #studio #China …see more

No matter whether it’s about the problems of aging, vision, hearing, disabilities or other permanent conditions, modern urban environments or residential places often disregard people with special needs. Luckily, technology and smart design might offer solutions on how to make cities more accessible, more inclusive and entirely suited for everyone in the future. #urbanplanning #urbandesign #urbanism #assistivetechnology #design …see more
I get questions from my friends about what kind of digital health trackers they should buy for their kids and babies. Have you come across useful digital health gadgets for kids? I've only found some fitness bracelets and watches that can track the kid's GPS position and count how many steps they take a day. I'm also not sure if any gadgets could be useful for kids under 12 years of age. What do you think? #design #technology #health #healthcare #digitalhealth …see more

In my "Science Fiction in Healthcare" keynote narrative, I use the example of Arthur C. Clarke who had no special background or education, but still managed to provide unbelievably accurate predictions about the future (from the internet to GPS satellites). Science fiction made him curious every day and I live by his example. What keeps on making you curious in the everyday rush? #technology #speaker #keynote #sciencefiction #future …see more
What if healthcare worked as an invisible fairy mother with a swarm of digital helpers? In the background, many digital tools, smart algorithms, health trackers and wearables would work for your well-being discreetly, so you could be sure that you are taken care of, but you would only sense that on rare occasions. How would you fancy the invisible healthcare system? http://bit.ly/2Ockof2 #healthcare #medicine #personalizedmedicine #telemedicine #mobilehealth …see more
New study concludes that "the current evidence base on DTC, interactive diagnostic apps is sparse in scope, uneven in the information provided and inconclusive with respect to safety and effectiveness, with no studies of clinical risks and benefits involving real-world consumer use". http://bit.ly/2nM2MuX
