This week, Julia Prakapovich, founder and managing partner of Interface Fund, joined me on The Augmented Life to explore the intersection of deep tech and healthcare. With her background in venture capital, Julia had interesting insights into the future of personalized medicine and wearable technology. We explored the future of healthcare at the intersection of technology and human-centered design and Julia’s vision for a healthcare ecosystem where cutting-edge innovations seamlessly integrate into people's lives. All while emphasizing the irreplaceable value of human touch in the future of medical care. Here’s a list of topics we covered: - Wearables and preventive healthcare - AI's impact on medical diagnosis and education - Mental health and sleep tech innovations - Robotics in surgery and drug delivery - Empathy in doctor-patient relationships - Design-led approaches in health tech - Challenges in health data collection and scalability Watch the full episode with Julia Prakapovich, now live at https://lnkd.in/e5x4Y5hX

This is a good preview of how DATA, and ability to use it, will change our health care delivery system from remedial to preventative. The ability to have and use real time DATA from wearable sensors pull across a network and analyzed by health care software (AI) driven platforms will drive even greater change and improve our human condition. If we listen to visionaries like Ray Kurweil and start leaning into these evolving technologies instead to holding on to the old analog world, we can keep people from dying in car accidents, from heart attacks and other preventable conditions. https://lnkd.in/e5wHBCjC

A "blink-through" for smart contact lenses and HealthTech 👀👓 The University of Utah has invented an hybrid energy-generation unit, specifically designed for eye-based tech. This could power new smart lens tech that can monitor health and bring augmented reality straight to your eyes. Why should you know❓ 1. The smart contact lenses have several use cases: health monitoring and augmented reality. 2. It also makes possible to provide continuous power for smart contact lenses, without any external batteries. 3. That is a significant step towards practical, everyday use of smart contact lenses. How does it work⚙️ - The research team developed a hybrid power source. - It combines solar cells to capture natural light, - And a device converting tear electrolytes into energy.

The whole reason I started EXRT ai (formerly CliniQai) was because of my step-brother Sean. He died a few years ago at the age of 26 from cardiac arrest from an underlying heart condition. I got a bit lost in what CliniQai was - trying to tick too many boxes and strayed away from the initial reason. - To help athletes of all profiles and levels have the insights they need and deserve to their health, heart especially. - dedication to advancing sports performance through innovative technology. Our mission is clear from here on - harnessing AI and IoT solutions to deliver personalized insights, optimize athlete performance, and elevate well-being. Together, we’ll drive EXRT ai forward and reshape the way heart health is monitored in Sports and Health. Additionally, we’re inviting industry advisors and experts to join our focus group, providing invaluable guidance as we refine EXRT ai's vision. If you’re passionate about sports, health and tech and poised to make an impact, let’s connect and explore potential collaborations. #SportsTech #HealthTech #Innovation

In my speeches I always mention that every medical technology we use today started like something that looked far-fetched or just out of science fiction. Here is another example. Sonologi, Inc. has developed a wearable ultrasound system. "𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑦𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛—𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑜𝑢𝑠, 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑛ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛-𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔." Based on peer-reviewed papers, the team claims that medical professionals could assess cardiovascular health while their AI compensates for movement to maintain image stability, and also allows real-time monitoring of heart issues. The company is currently raising seed funding.

In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin transformed medicine forever. Today, AI-fueled healthtech solutions are revolutionizing medical and surgical care in much the same way. Consider the growing significance of: ➡ AI in radiology: Machine learning models enhance diagnostic accuracy, allowing cancers to be detected earlier. ➡ Wearable tech: Smart devices monitor heart rates and detect arrhythmias in real time. ➡ Predictive analytics in ICUs: AI platforms predict patient deterioration, enabling clinicians to act before issues become critical. At Directed Systems, we’re using AI and LLMs to streamline regulatory processes and drive massive productivity gains. We’re also exploring our unique datasets to develop new algorithms for our products, further enhancing surgical outcomes. 🚨 Ready to elevate patient care? DM to learn how DS Aware™ can help

Are we approaching the point of truly personalized medicine? Powerful, low-cost computing combined with breakthroughs in DNA sequencing, persistent real-time health measurements from wearable devices and a proliferation of IoT-generated, hyper-local environmental data allows us to monitor, analyze, predict and prescribe behaviors that lead to healthier lives. The question is -- when will "consumer data" generated recommendations cross the line to being "medical guidance"? I hope you'll join us tomorrow night as we bring three experts to discuss the intersection of technology and healthcare. Valencell, Inc.

🚀 Exciting Book Launch Announcement 🚀 I'm thrilled to share the launch of my 1st book, "Tech Powered Healing: The Future of Medicine in the AI Age," co-authored with Harvey Castro MD. 📚✨ This work is a deep dive into the transformative power of technology in healthcare, inspired by pivotal articles I penned: "The 21st Century – The Century of the Billion & Billions" (2019) and "When will 1 Billion People Use Generative AI? 2023-2024" (2023). These articles laid the foundation for our exploration into the profound impact of reaching the one billion user milestone across various technological domains. 🔍 Our Journey: Past: Reflecting on the monumental reach of 1 billion users in technologies such as cellphones, internet, computers, vehicles, and smartphones, and their indelible mark on society. Present: Celebrating the current achievement of 1 billion AI users and examining its implications on our daily lives and global healthcare. Future: Envisioning the emergence of new technology solutions—like Smart Robots, Exoskeletons, and AV/UAV/eVTOL—that will not only reach the next billion users but aim for a world of abundance for all. As we stand at the precipice of welcoming the next 1 billion babies in the next 8 years and the potential deaths of 1 billion people in the next 14 years, this book helps prepare for the challenges and opportunities in our world. "Tech Powered Healing" looks towards a future where technology is a cornerstone of healthcare. It’s a future where our collective efforts ensure that every individual receives the dignity, care, and opportunity they deserve. As we navigate this Century of the Billions, our book is a call to action. It urges us to harness the potential of "Tech-Powered Healing" to create a legacy of compassion, innovation, and shared humanity. Together, let's pave the way for a better tomorrow. 🌍💡 #TechPoweredHealing #FutureOfMedicine #AIInHealthcare #Innovation #BookLaunch #CenturyOfTheBillions Harvey Castro, MD, MBA.
