It seems to be what's wanted to be used to monitor who has COVID-19 and who doesn't. This would be those who have tested positive, those who have not been tested, and those in recovery. By contract monitoring, every move made can be calculated. The results could mean that persons found infected could be made to relocate to a forced quarantine. The information could present pattern motion as a whole. Thus, helping calculate where higher infection rates populate and helping to further investigation as to the cause/causes and spread of COVID-19.
Another speculation, it could help provide a system that incorporates police to be able to enforce that known infected persons are regulated to ensure that home quarantine is followed. It could also help monitor, recovered cases in the possibility of relapse. Relapse in regards to future contact with active positive cases, and the physical preparedness to relapse or not relapse.

A new wearable hardware-camera-software bundle will enable frontline screeners to check body temperatures without using their hands or thermometers.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: I saw and tried this technology at CES2020. Scenarios were industrial, like watching for heat loss in refrigerators. Boring. The device is bulky, slow, low res, etc. Not very convincing. But with covid-19, the same tech has a new purpose: equipment for security personnel to identify people with fever. More interesting is that enhancing human vision with heat detection may become the killer app (pun intended) in this era of coronavirus scare. Imagine when Apple announces their iGlass with builtin heat sensor, "so that you can detect the infected colleagues in the boardroom". Crazy? Maybe, who knows...

Scientists developed a stretchable electronic sensor that looks like a temporary tattoo.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Digital transformation often starts with innovative new technologies. This technologies has been in development for many years and thus we should keep them on our radars for when they spring out of the lab as commercial products. Not just yet though but keep that in mind when strategic plans are being drawn...

Scopis Introduces the First Mixed-Reality Surgical Holographic Navigation Platform Integrating Microsoft HoloLens for Open and Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Looks like AR will be most powerful and useful in professional settings. This is a great example where surgeons get additional information to guide them during surgery without having to look up and away from their patient. Bravo!

This looks like it will be really useful. I just love really clever people and what they can do.

The future of medical learning Take a look at the latest work from our 3D4Medical labs, where our developers and experience designers are working on immersive anatomical learning, by blending our models and technology with Mixed Reality.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Short video that shows how human anatomy is being put into augmented reality to create lifelike, interactive models to help medical students learn anatomy.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Right now this is a generic human but in the future we will be able to have our own bodies represented in AR for medical doctors to peer into our corpse, via scans and radiology pictures.
IF they can do this with a human body, why are not more companies investing in making AR models of their most complex machines (think boats, planes, complex manufacturing machines, etc.) to help training, safe operations and troubleshooting? I would imagine that digital transformation strategies and plans should include elements of AR and VR, don't you?

With no hand tremor, machines were as good as or better than human surgeons in a test.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Robots have entered the operating room. These ones are performing stitches as well, or better, than humans. Surgeons will see their field impacted by robots in the next few years.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? There is parallel to be made between the rise of autonomous vehicles and surgical robots - any robots for that matter. What sounded impossible a few years ago - a self driving car - has now been made possible and tens of models are driving the roads of California and Nevada, soon others. Robots will not replace doctors anytime soon but you should expect to see them augment their skills and delegate certain less value adding task - such as closing a patient with stitches - to robots very soon.
Anyone working in fields where there are lots of manual, delicate, precise tasks to be performed by humans should put in their strategic plans experiments regarding robots and automation in the coming years.

This artical shines light on the amazing medical technology being developed today, I hadn't even heard of any of these technologies until this artical brought them to my attention. These medical technologies will save lives and prolong them too on a global scale as many will become cheaper and more accessible over time. Personally I believe that these technologies are some of the best things humans create as we solve the mysteries of the body.

For many of our woes in life, there are solutions and answers, we just need to think how to do it intelligently. |

WHY IT MATTERS:Â yes the new normal may include being tracked by governments and employers for contact tracing. At some point the data will need to be be stored somewhere and the question will become: where is it stored? is it secure? is privacy protected?
