If the Roaring 20's is a sign of things to come, then tech innovation and growth will blossom in the next decade.

This episode talks about the Pandemic 100 years ago and what followed. The discussion will be expanded upon in tomorrow's episode.

COVID-19 vaccine candidates developed by companies Moderna and Inovio have entered Phase 1 clinical testing on humans.

In this episode I discuss how companies are addressing the shortage of FDA cleared surgical masks and n95 respirators.

In this episode I discuss the use of Voice Technologies during the COVID-19 healthcare emergency.

This week the theme is Voice Tech in Healthcare. In this episode I discuss - The Book, The TED Talk, and efforts by the Voice community during the COVID-19 health emergency. I also introduce the specific topic for this week - The Laws of Voice.

In this episode I discuss the waiver on potential HIPAA penalties for telehealth services offered in good faith during the COVID-19 emergency. I raise the possibility of an emerging paradigm debate, and discuss the incommensurability thesis of Henry S Mather as offering one method for achieving a rational balance between competing societal values and ideals. Listeners are referred to reading resources.

In this episode we imagine the future of telehealth and reflect on the works of Thomas S Kuhn on 'Response to Crisis' from his seminal book 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.'

One problem...

The laws of telehealth have been quite reactive. One of the strains I experienced when researching the topic in 2014 and 2019 was the information overload! A call to colleagues in the IT community. Can you help - we need to assist law/policy makers to digest scientific research so they can better liaise with scientists and engage in evidence based law-making.
