CEO & Co-founder @alemhealth YC W17. Contains multitudes. Musings about radiology or AI usually, digital health and frontier markets sometimes.

@KatieDaviscourt Singapore has a Singapore American School, and the daycare here is about 36K USD per annum, pricing it in the ultrapremium tier. A solid local preschool can be had for a fraction of that.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@RoKhanna @Jason Power in Singapore is about 50 percent more per kwh than in the US (ignoring regional variations like SF and Hawaii), and unsurprisingly, you're seeing data centres popping up across the causeway in Malaysia instead of onshore in SG.

@Austen The AI Team, if only so you can casually drop that you pity the fool from time to time. Also would allow you to drive a GMC van.

@zoominfo Your definition of "operational" clearly differs from mine.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@ZoomInfo your status page says #neverbounce is operational, but it's been down for the better part of 11 hours now. If it's actually maintenance, then https://t.co/acdmPngjyZ should reflect that.

@sethbannon @bznotes 3. War is hell, and those that bear that hell seldom have a choice in the matter.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@sethbannon @bznotes 1. I think given what annual revenues for large defence contractors are (Lockheed alone was ~70B USD), I wouldn't say we're creating the profit motive, it's already there and defensetech is a drop in the bucket.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@sethbannon @bznotes 2. I'm of two minds whether more precision targeting shortens or protracts conflicts, and credible examples exist on both sides. Anything that shortens conflicts and sharpens the bluntness of war is positive in book.

@ridwanfathoni @MicrosoftHelps If I recall correctly, I used anydesk and its virtual keyboard to roll back the update in the short term, bit annoying but doable. I then updated the device up to win11 which made the problem go away.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

Automatic win10 update overnight, woke up with code 10 on USB xHCI and can't use laptop now because keyboard and mouse depend on it. Thanks. @MicrosoftHelps

@AmineKorchiMD Which measurement tools would be most important and time saving for you as a radiologist?

Insane level zombie iron taco rocking a shisha, snorkel, and sombrero. @aschkan we gotta say ... @sheynk is very jealous of your #teamtaco swag

@AdenikeRaks I jokingly call the black plastic bag I get from the BdC or aboki "the Nigerian wallet". Even if your overseas card works, you then have the misfortune of making purchases at the official rate.

Q: How do we get the military involved in vaccine distribution?

@asemota That's an e34 5-series saloon, they stopped production in 1995, so it's more of a Kickstarter than a GoFundMe.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@RogueRad @JACRJournal @paimadhu Unit economics for x-rays are challenging when you're looking at the 3-5 dollar range per study. After cost of generator, film, rad and technician, it's often a loss leader for a facility.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@AwanRad @SIIM_Tweets @RADAIDIntl For the cost of airfare, you could have had an @AlemHealth RIS/PACS installed by our local team there and operational for a whole year. Send me a message next time and we'll set you up.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

@EMeadeMD Radiologists using a radiology image viewer would be great, as opposed to reporting using only a film, a lightbox, and pen & paper like it's 1970. Bonus points for diversity.

[Aschkan Abdul-Malek @aschkan]

We're excited to have Max Hospitals on board as we launch our direct-to-patient second opinion service this week. We're making it easy and affordable for patients themselves to access accurate radiology opinions from anywhere. https://t.co/WNHJZPrQW5
