<i>[ a positive opinion from the Mayo Clinic Platform ]</i><br>
<b>Does the Future Belong to Mad Max or Star Trek?</b><br>
July 26, 2022<br>
The daily headlines may suggest a dystopian future, but the evidence
shows the world is actually becoming a healthier, safer place to
live. Such evidence-based optimism is on full display during this
week’s Mayo Clinic Platform Conference.<br>
<br>
By Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications
specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform and John Halamka, M.D., president,
Mayo Clinic Platform.<br>
<br>
Science fiction fans will no doubt remember the Mad Max series of
movies, which depicted a post-apocalyptic future in which war and
shortages of life’s necessities created a wasteland of survivalists
and biker gangs. In sharp contrast, the Star Trek franchise of
movies and TV series paints a hopeful future in which poverty has
been eliminated, humanity focuses on self-improvement, and most
conflicts are resolved with reasoned debate and compromise. Several
social critics have pointed out that popular media, with its
constant focus on bad news, bloodshed, and hatred, are encouraging
the public to believe that the world of Max Rockatansky is
inevitable.<br>
<br>
No doubt, the world is facing unprecedented challenges, including a
lingering pandemic, war in Ukraine, and a polarized populace. But
what newspapers, social media, and online news channels fail to do
is put these events into historical context. As one commentator
points out: “War is rarer today, by some measures, than it has been
for most of the past 50 years — and, when it does occur, is
significantly less deadly. Genocides and mass atrocities are less
common all the time, too. Life expectancy, literacy and standards of
living have all risen to historic highs. Also steadily declining in
recent decades: hunger, child mortality, and extreme poverty,
liberating hundreds of millions from what are, by sheer numbers,
among the pre-eminent threats facing humanity.”<br>
<br>
No doubt, there are many legitimate stories about society’s
shortcomings that need to reach the public, but in our view, today’s
culture has become too pessimistic, rewarding a cynicism that goes
beyond reason. The comedian Stephen Colbert, in one of his more
serious moments, described the problem: “Cynicism masquerades as
wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t
learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a
rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or
disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying ‘yes’ begins things.
Saying ‘yes’ is how things grow.”<br>
<br>
What does all this have to do with the digital health frontier, the
theme of our weekly blog? In health care IT, there are Mad Max and
Star Trek versions of the future too. There are concerns about the
overreach of facial recognition software, remote patient monitoring,
impersonal robotic care, and ransomware attacks on hospitals. But
there are also many positive developments that need attention as
well. This week, Mayo Clinic Platform is hosting its first major
conference to emphasize these developments. Our theme, “Exploring
and Implementing New Ideas, New Technologies for a Healthier World”
reflects our evidence-based optimism about the future of digital
health care and its impact of patient care. While the conference
will address the challenges of digitally transforming health care,
it will also feature the value of using data to improve diagnostics
and therapeutics, the power of data networks, and how AI is being
used to improve clinical care for patients with cardiovascular
disease. It will also highlight the MCP Accelerate Program, which is
giving voice to innovative start ups that can take us into a Star
Trek-like future.<br>
<br>
Dr Leonard McCoy’s medical tricorder may not be in every physician’s
black bag quite yet, but it’s coming.<br>
<br>
But, can we also read the digital health headlines and envision how
a tricorder might become reality? We're seeing early examples of how
sensors and algorithms derived at population scale will result in an
evolution of the EHR, making it more of a clinicians sidekick and
less of an empty container for gathering data, which it is today.<br>
<br>
Organizations will work together in a "federation" to develop and
test new algorithms, then make them available on any tricorder.<br>
The future will be Star Trek.<br>

Olbermann calls out the hosts of the Fox News Channel program "Fox
and Friends" for selectively editing a segment of Comedy Central's
"The Daily Show" to imply that host Jon Stewart rejected the
evidence of human-caused climate change.<br>
Olbermann Names "Fox & Friends" 'Worst Persons In The World'<strike>
(VIDEO)</strike><br>
By Danny Shea<br>
Mar 18, 2010,<br>
|Updated Dec 6, 2017<br>
<br>
Keith Olbermann named the hosts of Fox News' morning show, "Fox
& Friends," his "Worst Persons in the World" Thursday — with
co-host Gretchen Carlson getting a special individual double-billing
as the second-worst person in the world.<br>
<br>
Carlson received "Worse" honors for her interview with Derek Jeter,
in which she failed to disclose that her husband is his agent.<br>
<br>
"How much money she and her family has is largely dependent on
people thinking Jeter... I don't know, what would you call it? The
last pure athlete or he does everything right or he's perfect,"
Olbermann said. "Second biggest conflict of interest imaginable and
she never mentions it."<br>
<br>
Carlson and her co-hosts, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, were named
"Worst" for a "Fox & Friends" segment featuring a Jon Stewart
clip taken out of context to malign Al Gore.<br>
<br>
"And today, as part of their made-up story they call 'Climategate,'
they had a scoop," Olbermann said of the co-hosts. "Jon Stewart was
denying global warming. 'Extraordinarily,' Doocy said, 'take a look
at this, Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" which has historically
bashed Republicans, and you know, not bashed Democrats, really took
a shot at Al Gore. Look at this.'"<br>
<br>
Olbermann showed that they took Stewart's clip out of context,
ignoring the portion where he said, "Now, does it disprove global
warming? No, of course not."<br>
<br>
"So, Fox, which has twice showed the wrong video to make it seem
like a poorly attended event that had drawn a much larger crowd,
attributed this to on-screen errors, no doubt, this example of using
a tenth of the Jon Stewart sound bite, completely out of context,
this was made by an office assistant or a temp or possibly some
homeless person who wandered into the control room and took over the
show," he said. "Couldn't possibly be another example of Rupert
Murdoch's moral sellouts completing journalistic three-card Monty to
advance a fraudulent political agenda. Of course not. Just the fault
of Carlson, Doocy, and Kilmeade. But, even if they're just the paid
to play patsies, they're still today's 'Worst Persons in the
World.'"<br>
