Trying the micro-needle blood draw (my 1st experience w/ this)
It was a truly painless, efficient way to collect 100 ul of blood
Just push the green button; it took 2 minutes to get the red light to go on (= full sample)
According to the company @7sbio, the sample is sufficient for whole genome sequencing and 6-7 lab tests (not CBC or electrolytes). I have not seen any published data. This is one of at least 4 companies w/ micro- needle (so small you can't see them) blood draws.
Their 2018 paper @natBME provides the methodology, the data for HbA1c (@US_FDA approved) vs venous standard and projected price of $5.

[fulfilling transparency; peer-review standards] await data on other tests

Upgrading "painless" to painless.

My favorite smartphone medical app is still ultrasound.
Handheld ultrasound was introduced > 9 yrs ago, but still there's very limited uptake. A reminder that It took 20 years before doctors accepted Laennec's stethoscope invention from 1816.

This week @BBCTwo aired a 1 hr program on #AI for #healthcare,
bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b…
produced @teamWingspan @ArchieBaron, moderated by @FryRsquared, & brought to my attention by @pearsekeane. It didn't show in the US, so I am going to review a few key points here
First, the #AI hype from @babylonhealth, a symptom checker, which is a major focus of the documentary. A quote from their CEO:
[No you're not.]
Remember the paper the company posted on their website claiming their #AI it outperformed 7 doctors (and other claims). Well apparently that was submitted to peer-review @TheLancet and here is the preview:

(THREAD--21 tweets) So this went well. Here’s what really happened at the G-7 summit in Charlevoix, Quebec. #g-7
1/ Trump magnanimously agrees to attend the G-7 summit--although he hates and despises the “rule-based international order” on which is based and all his instincts tell him to destroy it.
2/ Trump behaves like a man-baby at the conference, and alienates all the other G-7 members, without exception.

Trying a new angle for teaching story slicing, one of the biggest struggles for teams attempting #agile ways of working and arguably the most important practice to understand, given we are trying to deliver value to customers in very short cycles. Read on if you are interested.
The way I see it, there are 3 levels of story slicing, each of which is beneficial and necessary to be able to deliver shippable increments consistently in 2 wks or less. I am currently calling them Capability Slicing, Functional Slicing and Implementation Slicing. What are they?
Capability Slicing is the narrowing of a broader capability* into more precise ones, each independently valuable and implementable and, by necessity, smaller in potential scope.

*The story of enabling a human being to achieve something they cannot currently achieve

Foreign and Domestic

1. Official history is merely a veil to hide the truth of what really happened. When the veil is lifted, again and again we see that not only is the official version not true, it is often 100% wrong.

#Rothschilds
2. Take the Rothschilds, the bloodline formerly known, among other names, as the Bauers, one of the most notorious black occult bloodlines of Middle Ages Germany. It became known as Rothschild (red-shield or rotes-schild in German)
3. in the 18th century a financial dynasty was founded in Frankfurt by Mayer Amschel Rothschild working in league with the Illuminati House of Hesse and others.

They took their name from the red shield or hexagram/Star of David atop of their house in Frankfurt. #Rothschilds
