Healthy bites: interviewing Enrico Perfler, Founder at 1MED

By francescopagano74

Given the relevance of the intersection between health and tech, we decided to speak to Enrico Perfler, Founder at 1 MED, a company born in 2014 and based in Switzerland. Perfler is a serial entrepreneur and a former university professor, who decided to create a different Contract Research Organization (CRO), with a focus on medical devices and now pharmaceuticals. “Our approach wants to be proactive, and it is based on deep tech and a world-class knowledge of global regulations, across the EU and the US. We are a SME, with 150 employees, double digit growth in yearly revenues and we are focused on innovation for big pharma and health-tech scaleups,” says Perfler. The goal of 1 MED is to make pharma supply chains more efficient. 

AI teacher, don’t leave those kids alone

Pooling, cleaning and making sense of data will make us healthier and will give us longevity. Above all, exponential technologies will broaden access to healthcare, progressively including the entire world population, thanks to new capabilities and dramatically lower costs. The advantages of tech need to be assessed from the margin of the empire, indeed, namely by how much new tools are able to liberate those living at the periphery of society. Their data is valuable, and their markets can be unlocked, at least technologically, as we saw in the previous section. There is another immense industry, which will be disrupted by a Total Marketing approach, and that’s the field of education.

Interview with Daron Acemoglu

Exponential technologies will change our world, for good. This is our opinion, as tech optimists.
Now, it’s always good to have a sanity check, or at least have a listen to the contrarian view. We reached out to Daron Acemoglu, who is an Institute Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a best-selling author, a world-know speaker, and the recipient of several prestigious prizes, among which the John Bates Clark Medal in 2005, given every two years to the best economist in the United States under the age of 40, by the American Economic Association. His resume is impressive, and Acemoglu is today one of the most quoted economists on the planet.
This is the exchange with the Maestro.

If these walls could talk

By francescopagano74

Our spaces will not talk. They will scream, mass-produce data and turn into big, smart wonder boxes. Squares, streets, stores, hospitals, schools, offices, and so forth, will be populated with AI powered sensors and augmented reality features, which will be able to act, react and proactively serve what we need, instantly and in toto. Everything will be tracked, in full respect of local regulations, so that data will flow where needed, to make sure business or social objectives are met: getting a passport or buying furniture will be as simple as ordering a cappuccino at Starbucks.

AI will give us back creativity

By francescopagano74

Technology will make us more creative, better suited to identify and fairly reward friends and supporters, and better able to evolve what we do. What will the future look like? Ask AI, but ask the right questions, and check the answers, if you have a vision of what the world could know, share and dream. If you are short of ideas, keep asking. You will not find a theory of everything by 2030. It’s enough to chase new knowledge, broad access to it, and the urgency to change it all, over and over again.
