Kind of crazy to think that the cost to sequence a genome went from $3B to $200 in twenty years…
And our health system still doesn’t deliver routine care based on genomic markers

A lot of people don't internalize what it means to not access healthcare because of something as simple as geography - but its a problem many face across the world
Imagine driving hours for a checkup while sick !!!

Reminder that you can ALWAYS fight your insurance and hospital bills - many times they’ll just pay for it (because they did shady shit)
Other times they’ll reduce your amount!!!

New review of diabetes management solutions isn’t so great from a cost/benefit perspective - but hopefully motivates the next generation of digital health tools

Pretty scathing review of diabetes apps by the Peterson institute
Essentially the cost benefit isn’t there for many patients even though many companies have been built in the diabetes mgmt space

When you get hit with a surprise medical bill…
Crazy how all of us heard about AI replacing radiologists 10 years ago and thats not even close to happening

Not sure if this is the right channel - but for anyone interested in women’s health startups, the funding climate has gotten much better - almost 3x vs 5 years ago!

Huge for women in the US, especially the uninsured!

Hot tip for anyone that gets denied by insurance for a claim in the United States - insurers are legally required to process an internal appeal
40% of the time they’ll just pay for it, and the other 60% of the time you can report them to your state for an independent review

Life’s good, and it’ll only get better!
Got more degen to give out - priority to replies talking about how you discover new projects in the crypto space
Pretty crazy stats on the effects of microplastics on our bodies. Microplastics are ubiquitous today and readily found in virtually all humans
Most people that put mindshare and effort into their /healthcare are either really sick or really healthy
It’s the people in the middle that benefit the most from lifestyle changes!

Not shilling anything, and definitely DYOR… but metformin seems to be a pretty safe bet as a longevity agent, especially if you’re diabetic or pre-diabetic

Dexcom just got clearance to sell continous glucose monitors in the USA
Curious if we’ll see more biohackers utilizing it since blood sugar levels have been correlated with lifespan

One thing we believe is that as automation picks up we’ll need some form of UBI to maintain social stability (whether through welfare or direct payment)
Crypto can act as a sort of UBI by turning passively generated data into wealth - one of our weirder takes on the web3 future
