dynofuz··on Paper Trails: Living and Dying with Fragmented Medical Records
we are working on it at https://1up.health which helps patients or developers aggregate and build on a consolidated medical record. We have a lot of developers making some really cool applications from those for patients with cancer to others helping individuals seeking life insurance with individuals connecting records from multiple health systems (we support 200+). Id love to hear from anyone else building applications in this space.
dynofuz··on Mastodon Bone Findings Could Upend Our Understanding of Human History (2017)
previous research cited in this article says "The oldest widely accepted site for the first Americans dates to just 13,000 years ago." this coincidences well with the 12,800 years ago Younger Dryas event.
dynofuz··on Mastodon Bone Findings Could Upend Our Understanding of Human History (2017)
could this be related to the younger dryas impact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesi... https://cometresearchgroup.org/comets-diamonds-mammoths/ im not sure what to think about that, as i just heard of this hypothesis recently. Maybe north america was well inhabited and all the humans got wiped?

dynofuz··on Show HN: 1upHealth – API to Get Electronic Health Data into Your App in Minutes
1upHealth (https://1up.health) enables any app to get EHR data via API in minutes using only patient authorization (via OAuth2). So this means you don't need to create integrations health system by health system. You don't need to know the IT team there or have C-Suite level approval for your app. You just need your patients to authorize access. This saves you months. We are live at 126 health systems (https://1up.health/health-systems), so if you or your users are at any of those orgs, you can incorporate real health care data into your apps today.
dynofuz··on Ask HN: What has your experience with lesser-known TLDs been?
Im on .health https://1up.health and its been great. They have even done a blog post (https://get.health/casestudies/29-1uphealth) about us to help spread the word. No issues with SEO or others finding us. The only thing we try to do is have anyone that mentions us add a link to the correct .health domain instead of a .com which has happened once before. I have had an issue with some websites saying i dont have a valid email though :/

dynofuz··on Goldman Sachs questions whether curing patients is a sustainable business model
yes youll shop around for the one that'll keep you alive the longest
dynofuz··on Goldman Sachs questions whether curing patients is a sustainable business model
The industry is being defined too narrow. The full industry includes insurers. Insurers have every reason to cure patients. Cured patients live longer. The longer you live the more years you pay premiums. The more premiums the higher your profits. So insurance is incenivized to put the money in the hands of those who cure rather than those who require insurance to fork up a fixed amount on an ongoing basis.
dynofuz··on A Sleeping Alexa Can Listen for More Than Just Its Name
i think the article misses some details. from what i understand, here's how alexa operates in the superbowl ad context:

- ad plays on tv

- alexa hears its name

- alexa sees that name contains the digital fingerprint

- (maybe alexa sends this to amzn servers so they know how may people r watching the sb & have alexa on)

- alexa stops listening for additional commands

therefore alexa is still only listening for its name

dynofuz··on Apple, in Sign of Health Ambitions, Adds Medical Records Feature for iPhone
the method they get data is patient mediated, so they are not beholden to hipaa laws. we use the same method at 1uphealth to bring clinical data from health system records to app developers and patients
dynofuz··on Apple, in Sign of Health Ambitions, Adds Medical Records Feature for iPhone
apple is using a new standard from hl7 called FHIR which is bringing restful apis to healthcare. so its like the json you get from any other tech api. i have a startup (https://1up.health/dev/fhir) that uses it as the base of our healthcare api platform for app devs building products that need clinical data.
dynofuz··on Apple, in Sign of Health Ambitions, Adds Medical Records Feature for iPhone
We're an early startup called 1upHealth (https://1up.health) that has a similar web based product (https://1up.health/products/patient) supporting 90+ health systems.

Additionally for all the devs on here, we make those health system integrations available to your app via an API.

dynofuz··on China, Unhampered by Rules, Races Ahead in Gene-Editing Trials
a lack of diversity is only really bad in a changing world. however humans have made the world far more stable than before, and as we move our civilization into space, we'll find likely more stability (in the long run)
dynofuz··on Why the U.S. Spends So Much More Than Other Nations on Health Care
the problem is that the people telling you what to do (the healthcare providers / docs) are getting paid to provide services to you. additionally, insurers are not smart enough to communicate the costs and benefits to patients appropriately.

we need a decoupling of the guide (maybe insurers that are actually good) that tells patients what to do next for optimal care and the org that provides the care. that way providers (docs) dont have an incentive to say do more if more isnt helpful

dynofuz··on A basic income could boost the US economy by $2.5 trillion
And it would cost 3.6 Trillion (300M adults x 12k), so where does that come from? I'm all for basic income, but id love to see a way this to actually be funded. Ideally from the corporations that are gaming the tax laws. Or is it reducing social security / medicare / other welfare etc?

dynofuz··on Blood from young animals can revitalise old ones
This was shown to be an inaccurate conclusion from the study. Since the animals were sewn together, more than just blood was shared. Organs, motility, behavior, etc. http://news.berkeley.edu/2016/11/22/young-blood-does-not-rev...

a new study must be done where only blood is transmitted periodically without those other factors in the picture.

dynofuz··on Solar Roof
The hail ball test is deceptive. The tesla tile is held with more support since its horizontal. the max distance to any corner support is maybe 2-3 inches. the other natural tiles are vertical, and therefore have 4-5 inches to the farthest supported corners. It may still work, but we cant tell from that video.
