For 31 Days @ArkRepublic explored #gentrification with 20 people and 27 stories talking about 20 or so cities or neighborhoods. For the next week, I'll be blasting it to the high heavens.

A quick feature by NYU's Entrepreneurial Institue and my company Arkrepublic for Black History Month makes me think about those who laid bricks before me; especially black women entrepreneurs. We must be fiercely vigilante in being advocates for the business and holdong public and private entities accountable for equitable opportunities. My mantra #investinablackwoman …see more

I think one of the saddest things about this is that we have become accustomed to this reality unique to America. Outside the United States, people aren't fixated by worry they will be bankrupt if they get sick.

A week of keynotes kept me focused and inspired: @SSCM - What an honor to give a keynote at the 50th anniversary event of The Society of Critical Care Medicine! I dedicated my presentation to what impact COVID and the accompanying digital health revolution will have on critical care medicine and how digital health will make patients the point of care. As chronic patients will be cared for at home or wherever they are, critical care patients will require a larger percentage of hospital space in the future. MSD - I shared the most important aspects of understanding a pharma company’s future consumers. What will the patient of the future be like, what contact will they have with their doctors and most importantly how can you create products that fit these future scenarios? Novartis Poland Sp. z o.o. - I showed how healthcare needs a trip to Mars: we need to acquire the patient’s perspective and what it means in oncology. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #speaker #keynote #speakerlife …see more

*Where To Invest? The Trends And Technologies To Look Out For In Digital Health* While working on my e-book “Invest in Digital Health” for The Medical Futurist , I reached out to Frank Kumli , Head of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Member of the Management Board at Basel Area Business & Innovation. I asked him how they decide which healthcare startup or company is worth investing in. He listed their criteria: a) Is the value proposition interesting enough, does it create impact? b) Is the value proposition differentiated from other products existing in the market? c) Is the team capable of developing the company? d) Is the investment bringing them to a stage that will enable follow-up investment? e) Does the company have first customers or a proven intent from customers to buy the service/product?

We can feel shock, excitement, curiosity, disgust at the thought of people having sex robots... but we cannot remain indifferent to the idea. However, according to some speculations, robots may be assimilated into our everyday lives by 2050, and human-robot sex will be more common than human-human sex by then. This is just the least extreme example of how technology will be embedded in sex and sexuality not so far from now - read our predictions: #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #robotics #robots #sexuality …see more

When it comes to artificial intelligence, you can rarely find a view between the two poles of the ecstasy/paranoia scale.

As artificial narrow intelligence has more and more practical uses and examples, it's going to have an inevitable impact on science and research in general.
