We come this far

Last week I read a article about the first heartless human alive. Have we already come this far?

And that is just one of the dizzying number of ways technology could transform the health care industry. From all the big data we can get out of our social networks, we can applie this information in to keep people healthy.

People values are changing and being healthy as long as we can is a long-term trend we are able to develop further with technology. People are getting older due to the technolgy and apps and able information that helps us to keep the information about our health. So the smartest minds of our generation shouldn’t be working on getting us more addicted to Facebook or Twitter, they should be working on helping getting us and stay healthy.

Technology could help the health care with:

• Crunching data to offer a better diagnosis and treatment

• Helping doctors communicate with patients

• Linking dockters with other docters ( why don’t we make health care boundless?)

• Connecting docters and patients

• Helpting patients stay healthy

Technology is giving the health industry a much-needed upgrade, from mobile apps that help paitents live healthier lives to tools in the house whom help the elderly. Though much is still in the early and experimental stages, the advances in technology could save money in health care costs and improve patient treatment.

So we need to keep stimulate these developments and we will be soon at how I would like to call it Health 2.0
