It won't be long until this technology improves and spreads. It already can best a dentist in many areas. Another market for semis of many types.

Will this be a game changer or just another lab only curiosity due to limitations of some type or too hard...
I hope one of the tech companies with the financial muscle will set up its own health program to save massively on medical costs. Only a few companies can be large enough to pull this off. I heard at one time Apple has tried this, but haven't heard what happened to the effort. I have no...
The bottom line is that US medical's main purpose is not prevention, but making money at all costs including the destruction of our economy. The average profit margin of a company is about seven percent net. The US can no longer afford a medical system or structure that takes twenty cents of...
The opportunities to increase quality, speed of construction and lower costs are numerous in construction at every level from planning to final turn over are huge. Having worked in many states and areas over twenty years in everything from a nuclear lab, much of Silicon Valley and holding three...
What fields can't be automated, and the answer is none. It's just a matter of time with tech using its own technology to advance ever faster over an ever increasing number of tasks from the simple to the most complex cutting edge. The social and economic dislocations over the next decade will...
That might be the way to go as long as the chips can only be read by a device handled by the user at their discretion. Until good health is rewarded (it should be enough of a reward in and of itself) and bad health penalized on the demand end, the US medical costs will also continue to go up...
We have seen the damage and business disruption in the latest software failure, it isn't hard to see that software may be the next major battlefield for war and maybe even more important than the physical battlefield. Any thoughts that warfare may software one of the most significant fields of...
We are just in the very early stages of AI/ML automating everything, with soft applications like advanced search and working with data. The next step will be advancing automation at a level not imagined by most. This will extend from manufacturing to medical (a field desperately in need of...
The semi sector has always driven down the cost and increased the performance of every category it goes into. Any thoughts about the cost of AI/ML coming down and the rate of improvement? Thanks
AI/ML are among the greatest powers mankind has been given. Any thoughts on the timing and speed of integration would be greatly appreciated. Who is currently winning the race to apply this by country, economy and business? Any thoughts on how AI/ML may impact governance worldwide? My best...
Also the amount of massive, costly advertising, marketing to people and doctors is a very, very costly mess and almost fraud. In Canada drug advertising is not allowed and the best drugs are chosen by a formulary board of experts in the particular field who chose the best drug for a particular...
I agree with most of what you say, but individual responsibility has to be a requirement just as it is with auto insurance and upper end life insurance. There will never be enough money to take care of other people's bad habits. Maybe a tax on junk food should be part of the payment plan.
You are one hundred percent right. There should be no individual doctor's offices in cities, since this is a highly inefficient model that doesn't have the resources and skill set that require a clinic and not an individual or few doctors that can't have the breadth of skills and equipment to...
Just this morning the congressional budget office said the Medicare trust fund will be broke and well as the Social Security trust fund. Automation of medical will be a step in the right direction.

An interesting list when it comes to technology
AI/ML/Automation combined are becoming such powerful tools and becoming more so at an ever-accelerating rate. This trend is now more and more is being left to chance in many ways and not being handled with planning and strategy. If handled properly the upside is staggering, but if handled...
Crowdstrike is having massive problems with my brokerage program showing problems also. Is the net going to become more and more of an area of conflict and concern? Any thoughts or comments and solutions or lack there of would be appreciated. This is like the problem with car dealers...
With US medical taking twenty cents of every dollar and rising with our population aging, the US needs to streamline and automate medical care as much as possible. AI and advanced robotics will be key to solving this problem. Also, low-cost devices should make it possible to monitor our health...
