The World’s Cheapest Hospital Has to Get Even Cheaper. It was only after a junior surgeon opened the patient’s chest, splitting his sternum with a quick buzz from a handsaw and cranking a savage-looking retractor to pin open his rib cage, that the rare and lethal disease became visible.

The World’s Cheapest Hospital Has to Get Even Cheaper

A normal heart has the rough dimensions of an apple, but the beige and purple mass beating between the man’s ribs had inflated to the size of a cantaloupe—the result of clots in his pulmonary artery that were blocking the flow of blood to his lungs. With his own circulatory system effectively strangling him from the inside, his heart had swollen from the effort of keeping him alive. In the West, the condition would almost never be allowed to progress this far. Submit your Business Idea - Fondazione Filarete. With Small Camera, Big Potential Predicting Future Heart Attacks.

Blockchain Smart Contracts: A Hyper-Deflationary Force for Health Care Delivery

From distributed interoperable health records to proof of adherence for medication, the healthcare industry is ripe for digital innovation. More generally, technology is a hyper-deflationary force, and this could be particularly effective in delivering quality health care through more effective channels such as mobile apps. Investments in the digital health space have increased significantly in the past two years.

This is largely possible because of improved low-power sensors and user-friendly cloud platforms that interface with those hardware devices. Personal BlackBox Company, PBC.

Exponential Medicine: Health Data Discomfort? Blockchain Is the Cure

Your genome will be sequenced; the bacterial demography of your gut polled, your steps tracked, your calories counted, and your brainwaves monitored. All this will be digitally analyzed and stored somewhere “out there” on a bank of servers. Your health will depend on which information you surrender in return for the ability to diagnose and defeat cancer at stage 0, knock out genetic conditions, preempt diabetes or heart disease—even become more self aware to improve your mood. Freely sharing our most intimate health details may feel more than a little uncomfortable. Blockchain Health - Remunerative Health Data Commons & HealthCoin RFPs.

DNA Block Chain Project Boosts Research, Preserves Patient Anonimity

Israeli startup DNA.Bits has announced plans to store genetic and medical record data using block chain technology similar to that which underpins the bitcoin network. The novel concept will make the genetic information fully accessible to the researchers who need it, while using strong private keys to maintain digital DNA-wallet privacy and individual anonymity. Dror Sam Brama, DNA.Bits’ CEO, is a local leader in a global revolution to give medical patients an unprecedented level of privacy, access and control over their personal medical records and genetic data – while simultaneously making the genetic data of the human race accessible to all.

Global Startup Expo - BRAINCONTROL

Based on a proprietary Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) technology, BrainControl interprets the electric map that corresponds with certain brain activity and allows patients to control a communicator, domotic devices (lights, doors, windows, alarms, temperature, bed position, etc.), and other assistive technologies.BrainControl fills a technological void for patients who are cognitively aware, but completely unable to move or communicate, a state called “locked-in”, and meets many of the unmet needs for patients in less advanced states who are currently using or cannot use eye-tracking systems.The first version of Braincontrol is commercially available, it includes a sentence finder and a yes/no/don’t know selector.
