Asking Doctor Mike About Health in Technology

How about your private life and marriage and children not just your dogs?😊

The buddies ask again and again whether are there any shortcuts in health using tech. Mike has to say NO multiple times, make me chuckle.

Eeh... Say what... Being able to at a certain moment measure, to be able to register, an atrial fibrillation is NOT good/positive??? That doctor is WRONG. To discover and to register atrial fibrillation is GOLD! Especially if these episodes happens now and then but are not often enough for a common 24-72 hour ECG mobile machine (from your hospital) to catch. Cause if the doctor does not SEE proof that it happens to you, the doctor will IGNORE it and tell you that you are just having anxiety attacks. And don't tell me that is not true... Cause we all know that is the reality.

" you gotta ingest a poison" how about aerosolised sarin, chlorine gas, VX etc. Gaseous and aerosolised chemicals are still dangerous. I think a virus or addictive drug would delete more now though.

The other public health threat of AI is designing addictive drugs. What if AI can make a drug that is incredibly addictive and hits dopamine, cannabinoid receptors, opiate receptors, gaba, serotonin, 5ht2a, nmda; nAChRs, mAChRs and a whole bunch of others in one go in the ultimate high. Or even just an opioid with a euphoria far greater than heroin, greater dopamine release than cocaine and also hits the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors for the incredible addictiveness of nicotine.

Also now drugs can be made by genetically modified yeast so the AI can just write the genetic code for a brewable yeast that can make this drug en masse with just brewing gear.

The doctor mentioned AI not being able to read body language and comprehension of the patients but to be fair it seems the physician wasn’t able to read those cues either…

He forgot 🐕 🐕 🧑 🐻

This is interesting. My dear dad got a couple of AFib alerts from his watch, called the nurse’s line, and was advised to get seen ASAP. It worries me, but also I’m glad he was alerted. He’s a relatively sedentary man of a certain age who’s starting to have some health issues, so to have something monitoring his heart health seems like a good thing.

Love the whole conversation, this is a great group of people to have this kind of chat.

Love this. Especially the convo about fitness-focused gaming and tech and how we don’t tend to stick with it. It made me think of my e-bike. I ride to work every day and I KNOW I would not have stuck with the habit with a regular bike. Probably not the same benefit, but I sure count that workout on my Apple Watch! I wonder what things DO stick.

As an Emergency Medicine provider I have diagnosed asymptomatic patients who came in with advanced cancer, pulmonary embolism, and sepsis just because their apple watch detected an elevated HR over a period of time. I also had a patient who impaled his groin in a mountain biking accident that was saved by fall detection. Anecdotally I have seen benefits from this tech.

I do find the neart rate trends useful when I think i am not feeling right and notice it is elevated compared to normal. Training for ironman can drain me if i overdo things and it is a reminder that i may need to back off or rest completely

i would feel safe with them with my drink

This really changed my view on Apple Watch

People just wear Apple Watch or anything that’s NOT really helpful is just for SHOWING OFF, Period.
