Global Futures Studies & Research by The Millennium Project Telemedicine Might Be Bad For Dermatology A patient receiving a dermatology diagnosis after an online consultation might do well to be skeptical, according to a study published this week in the journal JAMA Dermatology. Though telemedicine is sometimes necessary for certain cases, researchers say patients dealing with the vague and impersonal world of online clinicians could miss out on proper care due to lax oversight, vague recommendations and misdiagnoses. Over the past decade, dermatologists have been at the forefront of adopting telemedicine. In 2015, 1.25 million people visited telemedicine sites for dermatology alone, and patients’ insurance covers an increasingly large proportion of such visits. In the study, the researchers created six simulated patients, and pretended to be them across 16 dermatology telemedicine web sites. On nearly 70 percent of sites, patients were not given the option to choose their clinician. For now, it’s up to consumers to make sure they’re getting good medical advice online.
Future in Focus | Helping companies understand the future to make better decisions today! March 2016 : The Future of Communities Sure, it’s a wildcard, but the notion of floating cities and floating communities would allow the colonization of the world’s oceans. It has long been a vision of dreamers and science fiction writers. Yet as technological capabilities advance and drivers gain force and momentum, the dream of waterborne colonies could be realized within decades. Plans for waterborne construction encompass projects that include small-scale yet ambitious schemes to create floating casinos, hotels, golf courses, and parking garages; proposals to extend existing waterfront developments with floating malls or entertainment centers; concepts for supersized cruise ships that have all the amenities of city life; and even building full-scale floating communities on abandoned oil rigs or synthetic islands that could house tens of thousands of residents. This new frontier is inspiring individuals and groups to research and develop plans for building on the ocean’s surface.

Megatrend: Dynamic Technology & Innovation | The Trend Compendium 2030 | Expertise In a world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) it is vital to identify major trends in technology and innovation that provide answers to the most crucial future environmental, economic and societal challenges. Trend five reveals the power of innovation and major areas of technological opportunity changing the environment of humanity. Our analysis extends across three subtrends: "The power of innovation", "Life Sciences" and "Digital transformation". The power of innovation – Driver of economic prosperity Being best prepared for future challenges calls upon research capabilities to find solutions to address such challenges. Life Sciences – Addressing major challenges of humanity Being concerned with the study of living organisms and their direct and indirect impact on the environment, Life Sciences have the potential to find answers to major challenges faced by humanity while promising great economic growth opportunities. Our world is going digital.
Trends in Camera Design Increase Functionality | Features | Aug 2004 Higher resolution, more features and faster speeds are enabling novel camera technology while reducing imaging application costs. Michael McKay, PixeLink Commercially available camera sensors are shrinking, perhaps driven by the camera-phone craze. Now common are 3-μm pixels with megapixel sensors that measure less than half an inch. Although beneficial for compact cameras, such small sensors are not ideal for machine vision or microscopy. Sensors also are becoming faster. Supporting the new sensors has necessitated changes in the electronic design of cameras. Along with image processing and calibration, improved electronics have enabled more camera functionality and the use of standard digital interfaces. Shorten head pleaseVGA (video graphics array) cameras still dominate in machine vision, but interest in higher resolution is growing. This feature enables imaging applications where lighting conditions are extreme, with high contrast and a wide intrascene dynamic range. Meet the author
FOCUS - Project Objectives FOCUS will allow designing European security research to effectively cope with future EU roles responding to tomorrow's challenges resulting from the globalization of risks, threats and vulnerabilities. The main contribution of the FOCUS project is the development of effective long-term prediction and assessment tool at an EU level that is populated with analyses done in the project. Moreover, it will deliver tangible products (such as an IT-based Knowledge Platform) and contents (as a roadmap) for planning of research and deciding on priorities. These products are usable beyond the project. FOCUS will achieve the following six objectives, building upon each other: Identify alternative sets of future tracks for security research in FP7 and subsequent programmes, supporting EU roles to deal with exogenous threats, risks and vulnerabilities. According to the task at hand, the scenarios do not address postures for specific crisis management missions. Learn about the FOCUS method.
Nanotechnology In Medicine: Huge Potential, But What Are The Risks? Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale to create materials with remarkably varied and new properties, is a rapidly expanding area of research with huge potential in many sectors, ranging from healthcare to construction and electronics. In medicine, it promises to revolutionize drug delivery, gene therapy, diagnostics, and many areas of research, development and clinical application. This article does not attempt to cover the whole field, but offers, by means of some examples, a few insights into how nanotechnology has the potential to change medicine, both in the research lab and clinically, while touching on some of the challenges and concerns that it raises. What is Nanotechnology? The prefix "nano" stems from the ancient Greek for "dwarf". Manipulating DNA Therapies that involve the manipulation of individual genes, or the molecular pathways that influence their expression, are increasingly being investigated as an option for treating diseases.
