A New Way to E-Way ?  [  15  July  2017  ]

Extract :::

My request / suggestion to GST Council :

·         Aim to turn India’s highways into friction-less “ Conveyor Belts of Commerce “

·         Look up conveyor belts in the warehouses of Amazon / Flipkart / UPS / FedEx etc , which carry hundreds of packages per minute – with each package carrying dozens of different items ( can we replace “ packages “ with TRUCKS and “ conveyor belts “ with HIGHWAYS ? )

·         Each item within each box , has RFID chip and QR code ( interlinked )

·         Sensors placed along the conveyor belt “ reads “ each package and each item inside each package . No need to stop the flow of the packages

·         E-way Bill too , will have all the QR Codes / RFID data , of each item loaded onto the truck ( Price / Origin City / Destination City / Supplier with GSTN registration number / Recipient with his GSTN registration number / GST – ISGST – SGST amount for each item / Date of Dispatch / Validity of E Way Bill etc )

·         Just like today’s Mobile Apps of UPS / FedEx enable online tracking of each package and of individual items within each package , that “ high technology interface “ being proposed by the Government should incorporate the following technologies :

   #   QR code / RFID chip

#   GPSbased NaviC 

https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/05/leveraging-navic.html 

#   Internet of Things ( IoT )

#   Internetof Vehicles ( IoV )

#   BlueTooth / NFC

==========================

Dear Members of GST Council :

Here is YOUR opportunity to lead the way ( - in this case , the HIGHWAY ! )

There is no technical reason why Software Super Power India , cannot lead the world in ,

“ Ease of Doing Business “

If you guarantee the business / industry that “ NO INSPECTOR “ will stop the truck along its journey , they will willingly implement ANY / ALL technologies to serve the purpose of E Way Bill

Remember , all corruption starts by permitting HUMANS to “ interpret “ whether a given process was “ correct / incorrect “ as prescribed – and collect their “ hafta “ for offering to interpret it in favour of the Business / Industry , violating the process !

By implementing my suggestion

( Internetof Vehicles  /  https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/07/fast-forward-to-iov.html  )

,

technology will SHUT DOWN the truck engine , upon detection of a violation !

And automatically unlock the engine when the violation gets corrected by EDITING the E-Way Bill , on GSTN web site !

Medical Devices getting Internet Connected : Foundation of Healthcare

 

 

As envisaged by me at :

[ A ]……………..Ayushman Bharat : Think Big ……………………….[ 23 Sept 2018 ]

 

Extract :

 

Guess what will happen next ?

 

Every GP ( General Medical Practitioner – neighbourhood doctor ) carries a thermometer , a stethoscope and a blood pressure measurement device ( at the minimum )

  

A few years back , these medical devices were “ analog “.  Today, these have become “ digital “

 

Tomorrow, each will be embedded with sensors / transmitters and be Internet connected ( IoT ) to relay their readings to the Central Health Server of Ayushman Bharat

 

Government will make it mandatory for the device manufacturers to embed such sensors

 

And , day after tomorrow , these devices will become nano-size and get printed as electronic tattoos on our skins or become integral parts of our bodies , like contact lenses or stents

 

 What is in it for Ayushman Bharat  ?

 

Consider this :

 

 #   Doctor takes the readings of the patient using these internet connected

      devices

 

  #   Devices transmit these data to the smart phones of both , the doctor and the

       patient

 

 

·      #   These phones transmit these data to the Central Health Care Server of

            Ayushman Bharat and update the

          LIFE TIME MEDICAL HISTORY of that person

 

 

·       #  This history can be accessed only by the “ Authorised “ health centres /

             hospitals / nursing homes , which  are official partners of the Ayushman

            Bharat scheme

 

      

Imagine all the Medical Devices ( including ECG / EEG / PET Scan ,  located in private clinics / health centers / hospitals / nursing homes / Path labs / Diagnostic centers  etc ), transmitting to a Central Server ,

  

·    #     medical diagnosis

 #     treatment

 #     administered drugs

 #     surgical procedures  

 

      -    for all 50 crore citizens covered by this scheme

 

 

And imagine such petabytes of health data being subjected to BIG DATA analysis using AI  !

 

 Ayushman Bharat has the potential to usher this Health-care Revolution

  

When that happens , expect the AI to do the following :

 

 

·       #   offer Customized healthcare / Medical treatment / Supplementary diet

 

    #   guide your family doctor to prescribe the best-suited medicine for each

             member of your family recommend some “ preventive “ medicines before a

             disease manifests itself !

 

  

I urge our Policy Makers to ignore the protests of those “ Privacy Advocates “ , who cannot think beyond their very own narrow interests

 

Why talk of “ donating “ your organs when you are already dead and have no use for those organs anyway ?

 

Why not “ donate “ some personal health data while you are still alive ?

 

Ayushman will never reveal your identity to any “ unauthorized “ person

 

It will only use “ anonymized / aggregated “ data of the citizens for benefit of all

 

 

[ B ]  ………… 2024 ! – V 2.0 of Orwellian 1984 ? ……………….[ 07 July 2017 ]

 

Extract :

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 

 

Dear Shri Yogi Adityanathji,

 

Congratulations on setting in motion, a revolution in Healthcare ( Ayushman V 2.0

? ) as reported in the following news report

Before long, your initiative of installing Health ATM, is bound to get copied by al

other States

I urge you to use your good offices with the concerned Union Ministers to amend

the “ PLI Scheme for Medical Device Manufacturing “ , in order to mandate

embedding of “ Health Monitoring Sensors ( IoT linked ) “ , so as to accelerate

this Healthcare V 2.0

If – and when – we implement this embedding, rest of the World will follow !

Soon, 4600 health centers in Uttar Pradesh to be equipped with 'Health ATMs': CM ..

{ ET – 15 Sept 2022 }

Extract :

In the next three months, the government will install high-tech Health ATMs at all 4600 PHC , and CHCs in the state

 

The most recent illustration of technology's significance in the healthcare industry is the Health ATM

 

A person from the village will be able to visit the facility and receive more than 50 tests completed in 5 minutes , all for FREE after the installation of Health ATM

 

Informing that 59 different sorts of tests from Health ATMs can be completed while seated for a few minutes, the CM remarked, “ By sending the test results ONLINE , to a qualified doctor for consultations, the proper medical advice can be obtained “

 

In addition to routine tests like weight, pulse, heart rate, blood sugar, urine, dengue, malaria, hepatitis, arthritis profile, pregnancy test, and typhoid will also be performed in the Health ATM, he added

 

“Additionally, the ATM network will be connected to the health sector to enable tele-consultations.

 

All CHC-PHCs are equipped with Wi-Fi and connected via  tele-consultation for this purpose

EU Rules Target Smart Devices With Cybersecurity Risks    [  BW – 16 Sept 2022  ]

    

Extract :

From laptops to fridges to mobile apps, smart devices connected to the internet will have to assess their cybersecurity risks and fix them under draft European Union rules announced on Thursday, amid concerns about a spate of cyberattacks.

EU industry chief Thierry Breton pointed to numerous devices that are vulnerable to hacking.

"Computers, phones, household appliances, virtual assistance devices, cars, toys… each and every one of these hundreds of million connected products is a potential entry point for a cyberattack," he said.

If companies do not comply, national surveillance authorities can prohibit or restrict a given product from being made available on its national market.

Dear Utkarsh / Vikrant,

 

 

Just came across following article about your innovation :

 

BatX Energies powers up Li-on recycling 

 

And also visited your web site

 

Congratulations for your solution which will go a long way to minimize India’s dependence on foreign countries ( mainly, China ) for supplies of Lithium raw material

 

I wish you all luck in quickly scaling up your production facilities to 10,000 tpa

 

I suppose , while formulating your production plans, you may have based yourself on “ locally available “ discharged ( used up ) Li-ion batteries

 

 

But your innovation has the potential to “ launch “ ( and in a big way ), an entire “ Li Recycling Industry “ , IF , it offers this service to the EV companies of the entire world

 

That could well amount to a few MILLION tons of Li-ion batteries arriving on India’s shores in ship-loads  !
