In the US, lifespan has doubled from 40 in 1800 to 80 today. But what can we expect from the next 200 years (or 500 years) of healthcare and medical progress? I'm excited to present @jasoncrawford, founder of the Roots of Progress Institute, speaking in Boston on Progress in Health and Medicine - The Very Long View, coming up this Thur. Aug. 13 at the Boston Health Innovation Night, register here: https://t.co/mX8MomNVq2

There are more home medical tests than ever and home tests give consumers more options, control, and convenience than ever. So how can you check in on your hormonal health and optimize it? I'm excited to talk with @shilpig Shilpi Gupta, founder of Qyn Labs about this on the next DigitalHealth InvestorTalk Show coming up on Wednesday 8/12. Register now here: https://t.co/1g4ADT8i8H

@jasoncrawford I think sci-fi universes take place in the “intelligence too cheap to meter” future

[Steven Wardell @stevenwardell]

I tried it and loved it for its ability to make so much of the contextual and project data that I need to function so easily available. But I ran into 2 limitations: 1) store it on Apple iCloud to make it available on other computers and iPhone and you get a terrible page-duplication bug, and 2) want to share a page with a family member or co-worker — sorry it doesn’t do sharing. So I moved every page into Google Docs so as to be with the rest of my workflow and to be able to use Google workflow intelligence on it.

Pearl Health has $110M in new capital to accelerate its mission of empowering healthcare providers with AI tools to deliver better care at lower cost. We @a16z are leading their $50M equity financing, and Pearl has secured an additional $60M in debt financing.

Today, @PearlHealth_ profitably manages $3.6B in healthcare spend across 10,000+ providers and 250,000+ Medicare beneficiaries in 40 states. It's been amazing to see their progress since we first invested in 2021.

It's madness that most people in the healthspan-extension space do little to control the activity of #viral, bacterial, #parasite and other pathogens that can hack their bodies over time.

Come listen to me talk at the Liberty Hotel next Thurs where I will discuss how to change this by optimizing anti-pathogen treatment approaches!
