DISCUSS DISRUPTION
When you bring the American Heart Foundation, General Motors, Qualcomm and NTT
docomo on to one panel, you will surely hear about the future. The good news first:
everybody is aligned. We are looking at a place, where mobile services are no longer just
supporting behavior but delivering smart intelligence without a person knowing about it.
According to the panel: Technology will replace 80% of all doctors. You will not know how
to flip a (light) switch anymore. Cars are the new mobile device.
3. Healthcare
DISRUPTION
If 70% of all American citizens are tracking a health parameter, why are they not using
their iPhone to do this? There seems to be a large body of research-based support that
says tracking one’s health is supportive to the ambition of growing old. However, few
people understand how tech (=mobile) can reduce the effort to measure and track. The
American Heart Association shows examples like Zamzee and Heart360 that prove, how
mobile tech save lives. It’s as simple as that.
4. We are watching
new services grow up,
NOW LET THE CONSUMER JUDGE ITS SUCCESS.
Although still in Beta, SKIN ANALYTICS could potentially save 80,000 lives a year. Early
detection is critical when it comes to melanoma, and this University of Cambridge
supported service helps you monitor yourself just by taking a picture of the offending mole.
