At the World Policy Conference — Health, December 2nd, 2020 Session 2: Technology, Economics, Health Ethics
Carlos Moreira said: We must rethink the way the internet is built in order to unleash the potential of technology for healthcare as this sector is still mainly an analogue sector waiting to be digitally transformed
By bringing human at the center of gravity, and allowing it to freely consent to the use of its personal data, we can provide three immediate benefits:
· Consent
· Traceability
· Protection
The main question that the TransHumanCode book asks is “Are we building a better future for humanity with the help of magnificent technology or are we instead building a better future of better technology at the expense of humanity?” We must learn to put humanity first instead of getting caught up in the promise of technological advancement. Humans have been able to adapt, morph, and compromise in every situation we have faced over the centuries and have been able to maintain dominance. We must approach the promises of technology with the same adaptability.
The Health sector transformation is going to be revolutionize by Artificial Intelligence of Things “AIoT” acting as the brain that will power the nervous system of the network of IoT health related identities and objects. With the introduction of 5G, the ecosystem will continue to grow at a much faster rate as 5G will enable the connection of every object, person, and machine. AIoT will embed AI into the core health system infrastructure components including Root of Trust, semiconductors, and edge computing. Specialized APIs are then used to provide interoperability between health applications at the device, software and platform level to optimize system and network operations. Data processed through AIoT is then collected and made accessible to extract value and enhance health intelligence and knowledge for the ecosystem. AIoT also enables secure automation of actions and business decisions based on real time data and enables IoT to work independently with minimal human support, unlike the current state of the market which requires that all actions be coded in advance based on pre-defined scenarios. With the use of AI algorithms and predictive maintenance implemented through AIoT, health IoT devices will have the capability to dynamically determine actions to take decisions and self-program based on analytics and customer defined knowledge, resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs for health providers.
