Derek, can you not see it, too? This strong relationship between those two families ..."If you want to understand why something happens in business, study the disk drive industry. Those companies are the closest things to fruit flies that the business world will ever see. Drug design is a process between 9 to 15 years! So, which object to study lies in-between a fruit fly and a hard-disk? A high-throughput screening, a biological assay or an 'in silico' 3D/2D/xD model of a drug?"

You would think such a smart guy would come up with an enlightening and actionable answer. Instead, he came up with this:"The peer review system in grant making and in academic advancement has the major disadvantage of creating conformity of thoughts and values. It's a modern equivalent of a Middle Ages guild, where you have to sing a particular way to get grants, promotions and tenure. The pressure to conform [to prevailing ideas of what causes diseases and how best to find treatments for them] means you lose the people who want to get up and go in a different direction. There is no place for the wi...

Prior to giving a speech to the Society of Neuroscience this past weekend, he chatted briefly with Newsweek. He has some provocative thoughts, and he doesn’t mince words - in his view, pharma doesn’t go about product development correctly and, therefore, needs a cultural change. Here is an excerpt…. Newsweek: Why is the speed of progress so different in semiconductor research and drug development? Grove: The fundamental tenet that drives us all in the semiconductor industry is a deeply felt conviction that what matters is time to market, or time to money. But you never hear an executive from a pharmaceutical company say, “Before the end of the year I&#821...

The devices would alert a human to help a senior when medication has been missed, for example. Ignoring the self-serving aspect of his idea for the moment, his suggestion is not unreasonable. It can be a way to provide peace of mind for family, especially for long distance caregivers.  In Japan, families can rent an “i-pot” for a senior living alone.   The electric tea kettle boils water, records the time when the pot was turned on and dispenses the water, and emails the information to a neighbor or family member.

It will probably come as no suprise to hear that he believes there is still a long way to go before IT is well established in health and gives his thoughts as to what might prompt pickup in the future.Watch video - will take you to the ZDNet site.tags technorati : INTEL Andy Grove health care ICT (Source: Tech 'n' Health) Tech 'n' Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=655406 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:00:00 +0100 655406 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=541288&cid=t_111991_113_f&fid=34898&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbillkosloskymd.typepad.com%2Fwirelessdoc%2F2007%2F04%2Fpandemic_will_b.html This video is an interview of Intel's "Andy Grove on a flawed health care system" by CNET. He suggests that it's wrong to blame the medical profession for not adopting healthcare IT. "The doctors don't make the decisions to adopt technology somebody makes it for them--they may be doctors or ex-doctors." When ask when are we likely to see the next breakthrough, he quickly responds, "Right after the next pandemic." I'm glad that Grove quickly qualified his statement that physicians are not in the decision-making loop for advancing the prospect of the national EHR (electronic health record). This is simply not the case. You can see how easily confusion arises on how this nationwide EHR will be planned and implemented. Excluding the clinicians and other health...
