Over the past 2 days , news papers carried following
headlines :
An article in Business
Line ( 19 June ) reads :
“ Google had created a tool
that could forecast a host of patient outcomes , including, how long
people may stay in hospitals, their odds of re-admission and chances they will
soon die
What impressed medical
experts most was Google’s ability to sift through data previously
out of reach ; notes buried in PDFs or scribbled on old charts
The neural net gobbled up all this unruly information
then spat out predictions . And it did it far faster and more accurately than
existing techniques “
Now imagine what Google
will be able to do ( beyond just calculating accurately, the probability of a
patient’s death ) , if it had access to each and every “ Diagnostic and Curative “ medical DEVICE / INSTRUMENT of the entire world , as described in my following
blog :
Here is what I blogged in Jan 2018.
2024 ! – V 2.0
of Orwellian 1984 ?

There are 7,000 million people on the earth
It is possible that , at any given time , some 7 million of these are lying in ICU , connected with :
* Electroencephalogram ( Brain Monitor )
* Electrocardiogram ( Heart Monitor )
* Pulse Rate Meter
* Oxygen Level Meter
* Glucose Level Meter........etc
As soon as these instruments get embedded with Internet of Things ( IoT ), a central server could collect all of these " measurements / readings " on 24*7 basis , for all 7 million persons
Then it will combine these readings with following data about each of those 7 million persons :
* Country / Region / City / Language
* Race / Religion / Gender / Age
* Height / Weight / Colour / Biometrics
* Blood Group / DNA / Past Medical History.....etc
It will also record , who died / when !
Using such massive data base, can BIG DATA / Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning ,
figure out what " Customized healthcare / Medical treatment / Supplementary
diet "
should be " prescribed " for each human on this earth ?
Shall we support such " Invasion of Individual Privacy " , in the larger interest / benefit
of entire mankind ?
I think , we should
