In discussing Digital Health the main goal is to live better and possibly a bit longer using medical support in a more effective way, i.e. spending less. Some people are looking at life in a different way. We are who we are beyond our body constraints, one of which is …

The Digital Transformation –DT- is pervasive, I cannot imagine a single area not affected by it. However, if I would have to pick up one that will be completely disrupted by the DT and whose disruptions will affect the Society as a whole, the Individual and all what’s in between …

Area 9 – Symbiotic Autonomous Systems The symbioses of life forms and artefacts, human and machines looks like the inevitable evolution, made possible by technology advances, by economic drive and by the increase of wellbeing through augmentation. The separation between ourselves and our artifacts is getting fuzzier as artifacts achieve …

Area 8 – Digital Twins Digital twins, the replica in bits of an entity, as minute as a switch, complex as a turbine or cluster of many digital twins like a city, are an expanding reality in many areas: manufacturing, operation, planning and are now starting in education, health care… …

Area 7 – Machine Swarms Artificial intelligence and advances in processing, including neuromorphic computing, are opening the door to machine awareness. Machines that understand what is going on, why it is happening and what is the purpose. The question whether a machine that is aware is also perceiving itself as …

Area 6 – Self-Aware Machines Technology makes possible to create smaller and smaller objects that can self coordinate to achieve complex goals. Each component is an autonomous system on its own and is relatively cheap to manufacture and deploy. When clustered with many other similar (or exact replica) components the context …

Area 5 – Context Aware Machines The drive towards autonomous systems requires machines to become context aware. Technology (sensors and AI) is supporting increasing levels of awareness. In the coming decades we can expect machines to increase their awareness to levels that may compare to the awareness of living beings, …

Yesterday I participated at the first day of Technology Time Machine in San Diego, an exciting event stimulating my grey cells. Get the final program.  Here I am sharing a few notes. Streaming of the talks will be available soon at the TTM website. It started with a keynote from …

Area 4 – Bio augmented Machines The use of bio (carbon based and living cells) has been on the researchers’ bench for a while with experiment on merging neurons on chip to leverage on qualitatively different sort of computation. The evolution of bio-interfaces will support a variety of interactions potentially …

Area 3- Augmented Humans Bio-engineering and smart materials are converging in creating implants that can monitor life functions and expand life functionality, like eye implants first designed to recover sight might eventually provide 10x sight capability and extend human sight in the ultraviolet/infrared range (and beyond). DNA and RNA engineering …
