Une équipe de recherche interdisciplinaire de Taïwan a mis au point une technologie révolutionnaire dans les communications de prochaine génération avec une détection 4D haute sensibilité qui améliore les performances d’intégration avec les communications 6G. Cette nouvelle technologie pourrait être prochainement utilisée dans des domaines tels que l’Internet des Objets Médicaux (IoMT) : détection physiologique à distance pour surveiller la respiration et le rythme cardiaque, détection d’éventuelle chute d’une personne âgée via le Wi-Fi... L’équipe de recherche dirigée par Horng Tzy-sheng (洪子聖), professeur à l’Université nationale Sun Yat-sen de Kaohsiung, a indiqué que, dans l’intégration communication-détection, des bandes de fréquences de fonctionnement plus élevées permettaient non seulement d’augmenter le débit de communication, mais également d’améliorer significativement la résolution de détection. Cependant, les puces de bande térahertz rencontrent généralement des défis liés à une faible efficacité et une consommation d’énergie élevée. Grâce à un emballage « flip-chip », les chercheurs ont conçu une puce émetteur-récepteur MIMO (entrées et sorties multiples) pour la bande térahertz 6G, résolvant les problèmes de faible efficacité et de consommation d’énergie élevée.
The Internet of Things is nothing short of a modern miracle. The ability to connect devices across a network and control them remotely, gathering data, performing routine maintenance, and saving countless hours of preparation time and direct human interaction. It gave rise to the need for Smart, Connected, and Secure technology solutions. That's great for the residential home or the industrial plant across town. Could that level of sophistication and convenience follow us to other places, like, say, the hospital? We are, in fact, living the future today - where a world of medical devices are no longer standalone entities, but interconnected nodes in a vast network known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This digital revolution promises to transform patient care, enabling real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and personalized treatment plans. But these utopian dreams of a better health system still have some caveats to be aware of. As we embrace this new frontier, we must also confront the looming threat of cyber insecurity. In recent years, ransomware attacks have targeted healthcare institutions worldwide, from the WannaCry outbreak that crippled the UK's National Health Service in 2017 to the more recent Ryuk attacks on U.S. hospitals in 2020 like Locky in Los Angeles. According to the HIPAA Journal, “at least 141 hospitals were directly affected by ransomware attacks in 2023” alone where the number of attacks almost doubled since the previous year. These incidents expose the vulnerabilities in our medical device infrastructure, where outdated software and lack of encryption leave patient data and lives at risk. The American Hospital Association describes these not as white-collar crimes, but “threat-to-life crimes” and they can be a life-or-death matter. Yet, amidst these challenges, there is hope. As technology advances, so too do the solutions for securing IoMT. With the development of purpose-built embedded control technology solutions, we stand on the edge of a new era in connected care. Imagine a future where medical devices not only communicate seamlessly but also protect patient information from the most sophisticated attacks. How can Microchip Technology strengthen and reinforce the Internet of Medical Things and potentially hold the key to unlocking a brighter, healthier future?

Her knack for seamlessly bridging biocompatibility, regulatory compliance and materials science, sets her apart. Marina's captivating presentations at conferences, including the prestigious Women in Tech Global Conference 2023, underscores her multifaceted expertise in the medtech industry. [00:01:31] Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm so excited to have you here today. [00:01:36] Marina Daineko: Hello, Lindsey. Nice to meet you. Thank you very much. [00:01:40] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. I was wondering if we could start off by you just sharing a little bit about your background and yourself and how you got into the medtech industry. [00:01:51] Marina Daineko: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Actually, it's very interesting story because I have started with medical device industry, not from the very beginning. But since I was young, I have always had a keen interest in learning more about the properties and different forms of matters and understanding how this undergo changes. So all in all, I fell in love with chemistry while I was in high school, and knew that I need to proceed with chemistry in my adult life. So anything that can be touched, tasted, smelled, seen, or felt is made of chemicals. And I was inspired by this fact and yeah, so I decided to connect my life with it. [00:02:36] And it's interesting because I started my career as a research assistant in the Research Institute for Physical Chemical Problems. And here I had a really scientific background because I published several articles, put my hands into patent work, and so on and so forth. And everything related to non resist photocatalytic lithography and nanoelectronics. So far away from medtech industry. And yeah, but it was interesting for me. And it was sometime after that it was time of self discovery through challenges, because I wanted to do something in my career that is challenging, interesting, and makes a difference in people's lives on a daily basis. [00:03:23] And actually around this time, I found out that my ancestor, Vladimir Galalyev, was a researcher in medicine and published academic papers dedicated to rheumatism and the morphology of allergy. So, I found it interesting and I decided that I might delve into this area, into this domain. So all in all, I started look for opportunities and found out RNC position. And that's why I joined MedTech industry as R&D and my background in chemistry and material of science helped me a lot here. And I'm a curious person, so when I was working as R&D, I also was trying to understand, "Okay, what are the sources of different requirements?" What are these come from, what are all these regulations that some people are talking from time to time. [00:04:20] And as a result, yeah, that was really interesting for me. Okay, I need to understand the source. I need to understand the matter, what I'm doing, why I'm doing. So, and as a result, I started to look into regulatory compliance area and overall, like, quality management system, just understand how the things work and to understand medical devices from different areas, right? Because it can have very different requirements depending on what aspect you're looking from, right? [00:04:51] So I was really fascinated and thankfully I had the chance to, to join biocompatibility and biological evaluation team as R&D also understands the requirements with chemical background in chemistry. So I started to look into biological evaluation to, because it's so interesting for me, look here, it's mixture of science, also medical device, and additionally some investigation, some topics that are not discovered or something like this. So it's really nice. And also next step I decided, okay, I'm pretty aware like what are things with medical devices that contain hardware for instance, but how make this medical device life. Because it's really interesting and fascinating to see how their lives can be changed. [00:05:45] So that's bring me to software in the medical devices. So software and firmware is something that could help to make medical devices live so they can be used in some analysis, predictions, and so on and so forth. And that's why I'm here in the medical device industry, really enjoying what I'm doing and understanding the medical device from different perspectives. [00:06:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your background too. It's so fun for me to hear about how you go from so many different, yeah, because you're so multi talented, and you're so interested in so many things, and I love hearing that. I love hearing about your background in chemistry and then you went into R&D and now you're doing software and firmware. Oh my goodness, you are a lifelong learner! [00:06:38] Marina Daineko: Yeah, I believe it's very important because we are living in book of world. It means that, there are a lot of changes around us. And additionally, for me, it's really interesting. I'm really fascinated to see is a medical device from different sites. Okay, we have compliance. Compliance means like this requirements, right? We have R&D and product quality and biological relations and those requirements may be applied, and when touching one topic, it's very interesting to see what is beyond this topic. For instance, as I said, okay, R&D requirements, design input, design verification activities, and so on, according to, for instance, ISO 13485 or CFR part 820. But what about regulatory, right? What about FERS? [00:07:27] Moreover, it's also, yeah, one thing that I'm proud right now is that this year I took a very bold choice to become a student one more time and I selected a program that focused on the medical sterilization engineer. So I believe it helps me to understand medical device even deeper because biocompatibility and sterilization are things that lay near each other. So just to deep my knowledge in the sterilization and disinfection areas, I picked this program. So I'm a student again. It's a very nice feeling. [00:08:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh good, yeah. I love how you said that, it's a nice feeling. [00:08:15] Marina Daineko: Like back to school, yeah! [00:08:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, that is ,incredible though and it is so Interesting to hear how you just keep developing your skills, and like you said, you're a curious person, so you're going continue to explore different ways and help the industry move forward. So, good for you. [00:08:35] Marina Daineko: New choices for industry, [00:08:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Nice. Nice. Okay. So, I know that you also are an advocate for women in medtech, and I would love if you would share a little bit more about that and your involvement. How did all that get started, and what are you optimistic about with that? [00:08:56] Marina Daineko: Oh yeah, it's great questions. Thank you very much for asking it. So it has started actually recently when I was invited to speak at Women in Tech conference. So I was really excited here because in my experience, I-- all right, some time ago, long, long time ago, I don't remember even how many years it was-- I tried to start a business as a woman and unfortunately, I have got quite a lot of pushbacks with said words, like for instance, "okay, you need to sit down at home and growing up children and I don't know, cooking," and for me it was like a question, "okay, I can do it truly, but I have like other perspective and other ambitions and willing motivation to grow like a professional, like an expert." So for me it's very important to show an example for other people, women said, "okay, we can, surely we can grow up children. Surely we can take care of some other people and cooking and cleaning, like this man." [00:10:09] So it's very important to show an example that I can do it. So everyone can do it. Everyone has own voice and this voice shall be heard. It's very important. So it started quite innocent for me, just invitation to, to talk at the conference, but I was so proud of it. And I shared this news with my colleagues, with my family, friends like with everyone, I believe, and trying to support this. [00:10:39] Moreover, recently I has been nominated for Women in Tech nomination. So, and I'm so excited of it because my presentation, I was talking about Internet of Medical Things actually, and compliance and risk aspects within IoMT. So, my, my talk as a speaker and I was congratulated with this nomination, so I'm so proud to, to show again other people that, "okay, look it start, it has started really innocently, but where I am now." [00:11:13] I'm nominated and I am growing awareness regarding women in tech and asking for collaboration here as a women to join this network because I could see a lot of opportunities with it like to support each other, to help each other to grow together, because when we are sharing our expertise, when we are given advices, when we are providing areas for improvements, it is really also very important, actually, our points of growth here. So I believe it's very valuable network and really could see a lot of improvements while taking part in this Women Tech Network. [00:11:54] Lindsey Dinneen: That's incredible. And first of all, congratulations on that nomination! [00:11:59] Marina Daineko: Thank you. Thank you so much. [00:12:01] Lindsey Dinneen: That's incredible. Yeah, I'm so excited to see where that leads, but in general, I [00:12:06] Marina Daineko: Yeah. [00:12:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah! And you're like, oh my goodness, "yes, me too!" Ha Yeah, but I just I love the fact that, it started off with an ask of you do this talk, and then you just said, "okay, and I'm diving into this too." So, [00:12:25] Marina Daineko: It's exactly how it works with me. [00:12:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Excellent. Yeah. And, I know from being connected with you on LinkedIn that you are very passionate about helping to spread knowledge about the industry. Yeah, and so you do this Mondays, you do like a coffee chat or coffee talk. Yeah. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? [00:12:50] Marina Daineko: Absolutely. So it's again interesting story because sometime ago, actually I have started to be pretty active on my LinkedIn, like just around the year or so. And how I, why I decided to be active and why, how it's actually started. It started because I felt like I'm so full of expertise, knowledge, advice that I can't just hold them with myself so I need to somehow to share them and I found LinkedIn platform very useful and comfortable for such knowledge sharing because here there is a community of different experts and that's why we can share opinions, advices, comments, because it's also valuable to see from some things from our perspective, right? [00:13:43] And on Mondays, I'm doing like Monday news. And I remember when I'm using actually my own picture. I took this picture when I had a coffee and croissant, like dreaming, "okay, what would I like to read on Mondays?" And for me, it was kind of a digest of important things. And I usually connect in this important available things around biological evaluation, because I could see quite a lot of information regarding compliance, quality management system, risk management clinical evaluation, like really ocean of news and updates and knowledge sharing regarding clinical evaluation. [00:14:24] But for some reasons, I saw that biological evaluation is kind of underestimated, meaning that-- and it's quite, it's not too easy to find some valuable information or clarify something or, to make it transparent and traceable why we need to go like this direction or this direction, and what are updates in the industry and so on so forth. And I know that quite a lot of people are too shy to ask directly or they simply don't know whom to ask, right? Because if you are known as a subject matter expert in this domain, nobody would ask you even if you are right. [00:15:03] So, and it helped me to understand like, okay, maybe I could put myself in this niche and provide some updates like I'm doing here on Mondays, like taking one topic and provide small basic, maybe basic, maybe not too basic things, around this topic. Like for instance, biological evolution, but inside of biological evolution, we have a lot of things to talk. And to be honest, I can talk about a biocompatibility like all days and nights. It can be unstoppable. So, yeah. [00:15:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay, so you have lots of things in the works and you're a student still. What is coming up for you? What is next that you're particularly excited about either personally or professionally or whatever you want to talk about. [00:15:55] Excellent [00:15:56] about [00:15:56] marina_1_10-18-2023_190318: My God, I swear a lot of things, to be honest. Yeah. First of all, maybe from professional side, I'm really excited to take part in the MedTech Summit. Flying to the United States, and I'm really excited because there would be a lot of professionals and subject matter experts within the summit like from biological evaluation, as well as regulatory affairs. So I'm very interested to make like connection in real life, not only like online, looking at people's heads and that's it. [00:16:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Right? [00:16:37] Marina Daineko: So, I'm really excited of it. Also I will have panel session about post market surveillance. And it's very interesting, actually, format because it would be different experts here at this panel, like from regulatory, clinical, risk management. And I will represent biological evaluation aspect. So, and we would be talking about post market surveillance for medical devices. It's also hot topic and I'm excited because in such format is it, that would be my first time in such format with other experts, but I find it really valuable because this cross functional team usually, it's like kind of brainstorming, negotiation, discussion. So I expect like a vivid discussion around this topic and again I believe that would be very interesting insights here during this panel. Yeah. [00:17:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. And, speaking to that, when you are involved in these these panel discussions or conversations or things where you might, where like you said, you're going to be surrounded by experts and you have your area of expertise too and whatnot and you're sort of all collaborating, is there ever a moment where, does it ever feel overwhelming when you're just " oh, I don't know enough about this topic?" I'm just curious because I know sometimes we have those moments as humans. We go into this situation that's not 100 percent our realm, and I'm just curious how you handle those moments of " how can I contribute to this conversation?" [00:18:13] Marina Daineko: Yeah, that's a great question because I wouldn't be honest if I say that I don't have such moments. Surely I have and as I'm quite active as a speaker in different conferences. So surely I have such moments in my life. And yeah, so, how I deal, I'm trying to be logical, first of all, and structured. Actually, I'm a super structured person. I have folder and folder, all the reminders and so on. Organized and structured. But, yeah, so I'm trying to think in this way, "Okay, here is the question. How can I decompose it for the parts that I can understand, right?", And I can provide some feedback, insight or advice, for instance, right? Because usually a person who is asking a question, this person usually has some background or circumstances or conditions why this question is asked. So I'm trying to decompose this question if it's still unclear. So I'm trying, I'm asking to ask maybe in a different way. It gives me additional time to think actually, so well, right? [00:19:19] So, and in that for, I would say for 100% cases with this decomposition or, and for instance, asking to reward the question, I can answer it because it gives me time to think the decomposition can gives me the base, " okay, we are talking about XYZ or ABC or what we are talking about, right? What area from what perspective?" So all the things help me to answer, but usually, yeah decomposition and additional time to think helped me each time. [00:19:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, and thank you for your honesty, because I really love listening to other people's strategies, because I think we all have those moments sometimes, right? [00:20:04] Marina Daineko: Absolutely. It's very nice because I also can understand, okay, what are my weakness? What my, what are my areas for improvement? Maybe I need to dive deeper into this topic. But, I am, I consider myself brave enough to say, I don't know if I really don't know something, right? Not to, not to make a not proper conclusions, for instance, or advices and so on, so forth, because it's very important to, to say such things because we are talking about medical devices. Medical devices are used when people are in need some help. It might be even the question of life and death so it's very important to say if I don't know so I'm saying I don't know, please ask this I need additional time to investigate. So I need to so I need this additional time, right? [00:20:56] And also what is very important for me as again as a woman and as immigrant, right? Not to be shy, but to talk, to speak up because yeah, I can be, I am an expert. And I need to show my expertise to others because others, other people can, for instance, they just simply maybe not aware that I'm expert, right? So it's very important to speak up and to be brave here. [00:21:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, a hundred percent. And I kept thinking about that when you've been telling us about your life and your trajectory and how curious you are. And I was going to say that bravery is such a strong theme. I, it really is though, because it is hard sometimes to be willing to speak up and say, "I don't know, or I let me go back and research or whatever." And so I really, I think that's really powerful what you said, and I appreciate your candor there. And I'm, I am also curious myself, so if, let's say that you are in a sort of mentorship position. What kind of advice would you give somebody, maybe especially a woman or, somebody who is coming from a different background who may not have the same access basically, how would you advise that person to participate and to keep moving forward with their own career, even if they're feeling a little uncertain or they don't fit in. [00:22:30] Marina Daineko: Oh, yeah. No, I love this question. Thank you for asking it. So, I believe that we are living in such a world where hard skills shall be complemented with soft skills. And as far as I could see, listening is very important. Listening and communicating properly. And listening, I believe that listening to others is a part of communication. So, regarding listening, it's very important to listen,: like kind of correctly what I mean on this is for instance, not multitasking when someone is listening to another person, right? Because sometimes we are doing something and listening not attentively. And we, for instance, can mix up topics or don't understand something or just don't miss some part of, conversation. And that's why it's very important to, to listen attentively, really deep really diving into the topic and understanding what is going to be, like, what we are talking about, what is the topic, what is the ask. Maybe something is hidden between rows, so it's very important. [00:23:44] Sometimes we are listening with a goal in mind. What it means? We have we are talking to each other, right? But I have my goal in, into my mind, so it doesn't matter actually what you are talking about. So. I have something and that's it. I don't care. So it doesn't work. It doesn't work actually. So especially for leadership, but not only for leadership, it's just for, for real life. It doesn't work. We need to listen and trying to understand what another person is trying to say here. [00:24:20] And one more, maybe things that I noticed is judging. So when something, when someone is saying something, so we are judging. We are like, okay, there is just black and white and that's it. But fortunately, no, we have different colors, so like rainbow colors, there is no black and white, so we don't, we should, we shall not judge, we need to listen attentively, accurately, and trying to get rid of maybe some negativity when talking to a person, so it's very important because collaborating with different people may be challenging, especially in these cross functional teams because I could see more and more that we are working in remote world. [00:25:08] So I'm from Poland, you're from the United States. Someone is from the United Kingdom, someone from Australia and it's really amazing and I love it. But people are from different cultures. People have different, I don't know, mood, time zones, different things in their private life. So it's very important to switch off this as, as much as possible, this emotional thing and don't judge, just take the information as it is. And actually it helps me also a lot when I'm doing internal audits. So as it's written, I could see, and I could just, yeah, ask for some evidence as it's written not judging here. [00:25:50] And maybe one more topic here I would like to raise, it's about preparing your response. So when, for instance, my colleague is talking to me and I just codes the first sentence, for instance, right? And I'm answering to this sentence, not to whole speech or whole things that this person is trying to say, but to this sentence . Please don't prepare your response and improve your listening skills. I believe that this listening skills, first of all, when we are collaborating with other colleagues from other, I don't know, departments, for instance, like product quality or clinical affairs, regulatory affairs, R&D manufacturing, so it's very good, marketing, some other. So it's very important to listen and to listen to the messages because there are a lot of valuable information. It shall be filtered accordingly and taken into account for, taken for consideration. [00:26:51] And when we have like good listening skills, we can proceed with improving our communication because I believe that communication is just powerful tools that can resolve any, simply any issue, challenge, whatever, if we can communicate effectively so it helps. It helps a lot in professional life, in not only professional , so it's very important to work on this. [00:27:17] But coming back to your question, I believe that any person can entry medical device industry because there are a lot of directions here. This directions depends on people background. So here we need like mechanical engineers to be able to prepare drawings and actually work on new product development or modifications of existing medical devices, for instance, right? Someone with a chemistry, biology background needed for like specific things like biological evaluation, clinical evaluation, right? [00:27:49] But even people without technical background, someone who is like a good communicator is very nice. It's very valuable person in the project because such person can help with communication between different departments, because someone needs to orchestrate all this work for medical device. So don't be afraid, listen carefully, and improve your communication skill. And I believe, yeah, it would help in any industry, including medical devices. [00:28:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, that's great advice and thank you for sharing that. I think you're right that in many aspects, so one of them, [00:28:29] Marina Daineko: Thank [00:28:30] Lindsey Dinneen: I just want to clarify, agree with you, one thing that stood out to me is, you said that it, It is definitely possible for people to come into the medical device industry. And I think you're absolutely right. There are lots of avenues within the industry. So if your background is in engineering, there's plenty of places for you to go, but if your background is in marketing and sales, I mean, people have to know your device exists in purchase it. So all of the roles are are useful. So I think you're absolutely right in finding the area where you fit in. But the industry is really friendly, is what I have, yeah. [00:29:12] Marina Daineko: Absolutely. Because if I can, yeah, add here, for instance, for marketing and sales, so, I love these people because they help me a lot. Why? Because I am doing, for instance, biological evaluation, I need, this is my documentation, I need to explain other people from notified bodies who, for instance,. Can audit this documentation how this medical device works. And what happened here? Look, I need these people from notified bodies or like from like auditors, right? They can have really different background. They can have background in clinical or they may not have this background. They may just have, I don't know, absolutely different background, right? They are not familiar with this specific medical device. [00:30:01] So, and within my biological evolution, I need to explain how this medical device works. And it's known fact that a lot of people can consume the information with their eyes. So it's visual. So it means that the information shall be visualized, and visualization is the best tool to explain some things to people. That's why I love marketing, people from marketing and sales, because they can prepare these great pictures of medical device, how it works, for instance, on YouTube, like video or whatever, right? As well as, yeah, to make it understandable for everyone. It's simple, not with all these tons of words. But usually it, it shall be described as well, right? But visualization as well. So, that's why, yeah, I triggered so much when you mentioned marketing and sales, because yeah, it's really important to explain complex things in pictures. [00:31:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. Indeed. Yes. And I'm glad to have an advocate for that. [00:31:12] Marina Daineko: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. [00:31:13] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Pivoting the conversation just a little for fun. Imagine you were to be offered a chance to teach a masterclass on any subject that you want to. You would be paid a million dollars to do so. It can be about your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach and why? [00:31:35] Marina Daineko: As I said, I can talk days and nights about biological evaluation. So maybe it would be the simplest answer because it really, it really works for me. I mean, like I can talk about biocompatibility a lot and I am more than happy to share some insight with people, especially taking into account that this buzz and noise regarding biological evaluation recently, and I could see a lot of people that are coming in this aspect, this domain, I mean, in biological evaluation in medical devices, so I would be more than happy even be paid properly for this. [00:32:18] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. [00:32:20] Marina Daineko: Yeah. [00:32:22] Lindsey Dinneen: You could put the million dollars to, your research or something fun, so. [00:32:27] Marina Daineko: Yeah. No, absolutely. When I was younger, I had actually a dream to organize a kind of, research center and to have some equipment, to have some databases, and so on for scientists who can, for instance, like scientists, startups, and so on so forth who can actually try, say, ideas on this on this research center. So if you, for instance, I don't know, invented something, you can go to my research center and I, we can first of all, test it and also provide like scientific background if required to help with patents and so on and so forth. So I believe this million dollars can be used for this goal. [00:33:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Ooh, I like it. Okay. Excellent. All right. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:33:24] Marina Daineko: This is important question and I'm thinking from time to time exactly on it. So, it's very personal for me because it's also a funny story. When I was a student at the university, I was, I have been providing kind of mentorship for people who would like to study chemistry. So, and usually I was working with, mentorship, blaming the fire for chemistry. So showing that chemistry is not just something boring, boring science, but also very interesting and it can be kind of fun. So, I had a case when one boy he needed he needed improve his knowledge for chemistry just for his marks because he intended to, to get in British College. And, we were having the studies with him. I was explaining things and providing real life examples where and how chemistry can be utilized and improved. And in the end, this boy decided to utilize chemistry in his life, so he switched from math as well as physics to chemistry and connected his life with chemistry. [00:34:40] And for me, it was like, "Oh my God, it seems like I changed someone's life." And it was so, so inspiring for me that I decided for myself that I would like to proceed with it, that I like how I can make this connection to show people the beauty of different things, like for instance chemistry to this boy. And yeah, I believe that I'm pretty successful in such things, so I would say that I would like to be remembered as a person who can connect people with beautiful and inspiring things, changing lives in this matter. [00:35:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Ooh, that is a beautiful goal. I love it. That just gave me chills. [00:35:33] you [00:35:34] Marina Daineko: Yeah, no, I feel the same, actually, because for me, this boy, it was like a changing moment for me. Yeah, it's very powerful. Even this even this memory is very powerful for me. [00:35:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. Thank you for sharing that story. It's a fantastic story, and I love that because it's so, that just speaks to you and your willingness to, to help somebody understand something that doesn't come naturally or maybe easily to them. And what a difference you made in that person's life, so, yes, I think that's incredible and a beautiful life goal of yours. [00:36:11] Marina Daineko: Thank Thank you, Lindsey. Oh yeah. To explain like complex things into simple, understandable steps is my favorite entertainment, I would say [00:36:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Ah, okay, I love it, alright. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:36:32] Marina Daineko: Oh, I believe it's my dog. I have pitbull, but she reminds me a cat, mostly, because, yeah, no, really, because, for instance, when I have a door opened to join other room, to go into other room, for instance, but when I close the door she needs to come back immediately. And it makes me smile because it's behavior of a cat and also yeah she's sleeping and she is snoring from time to time and when I have a meeting for instance with my colleagues So I am asked all the time "Marina, please don't sleep." Yeah. So, yeah it's funny and I adore her. I am working with her, actually, I like, I love walking like 10 kilometers or so. She's not happy with this distance, but she has just simply no choice with it. Yeah. So, yeah, no, believe useful for her heart, so that's my, yeah. [00:37:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Mutually beneficial for both of you. [00:37:37] Marina Daineko: Yeah. [00:37:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Very good. Oh my goodness. That's fantastic. Yeah. This has been so much fun. Thank you so very much for joining us today. I'm just so thrilled to have you and you're so inspirational. So thank you for doing what you're doing and how you're continuing to learn and evolve with the industry, but evolve your own skills too. Yeah. And we're, [00:38:05] Marina Daineko: Thank you.

SD165 - Internet das Coisas na área da Saúde. E neste episódio temos um papo com o empreendedor suíço e CEO da Carenet Longevity, Immo Oliver Paul, que nos conta sobre a trajetória de empreender no Brasil, as várias pivotagens de produto até encontrar seu nicho e o estágio de evolução da IoT e IoMT no país. A Carenet é hoje a principal empresa de interoperabilidade em UTI's e centros cirúrgicos, integrando equipamentos como monitores multiparamétricos, bombas de infusão e ventiladores. A empresa desenvolveu uma bliblioteca de drivers que consegue ler os principais equipamentos utilizados por aqui. Neste episódio, o que você vai encontrar: O background do Immo Administrador de empresas. Nasceu e estudou na Suiça e seguiu a carreira de consultor. Teve seu 1º contato com o Brasil, trabalhando para a Accenture. Ficou em Barcelona por alguns anos como consultor, mas queria voltar à América Latina. Isso aconteceu pela empresa Holcim por 7 anos até que Immo, para se manter na região, tornou-se um investidor anjo e resolveu testar a carreira de empreendedor. Investiu na empresa de um amigo de infância, uma startup de alimentos funcionais aqui no Brasil até sair e abrir sua própria startup. A Carenet No início: foco em hardware, wearables, IoT aplicado à saúde e monitoramento remoto do paciente, sem alimento. Fizeram uma parceria com a Netshoes e saíram com uma plataforma de IoT desenvolvida para integrar outros equipamentos, processar dados e guiar usuários e pacientes. O nicho Fazendo contato com hospitais, descobriram que não precisam produzir hardware, o valor estava na capacidade de integrarem esses equipamentos, interpretando protocolos desses diferentes equipamentos. A solução Os hospitais no Brasil compram equipamentos heterogêneos que não conversam. "A interoperabilidade é uma evolução natural", mas é preciso 1º integrar, digitalizar os dados e depois criar sistemas de apoio à decisão, IA, algoritmos para monitorar o paciente na UTI. A empresa desenvolveu uma biblioteca de drivers que consegue ler os dados dos principais equipamentos encontrados no mercado brasileiro. Para onde ir 1º - um desafio: entrar no máximo de hospitais possível; 2º - tecnologia para Tele UTI: médicos intensivistas poderão acompanhar várias UTI's em todo o pais, beneficiando regiões em que a escassez desse tipo de profissional qualificado; 3º - Algoritmos para apoio da decisão médica. IoT no Brasil O Brasil está bem em gateways, hospedagem em cloud e visualização de dados. O ponto frágil ainda são os sensores: o hardware ainda tem custo bem alto no país. Uma opção pode ser visual computing, com uso de câmeras que capturam os sinais vitais e informações de monitoramento do paciente e tem custo bem menor. Reflexões As pessoas no Brasil estão abertas ao network. O país é aberto para a inovação. Mas a carga tributária é muito alta. Comunidade Online Saúde Digital Podcast Você é médico?

A new report penned by Pamela Spence, EY's Global Health Sciences and Wellness Industry, explores how heath care in the future will be transformed by a living, intelligent ecosystem that enables care delivery anytime and anywhere, and how pharmacists can utilize AI technologies to make health care even more human. According to EY, there is no single new technology that holds the key to the future of health care. Rather, as technologies such as sensors, cloud computing, AR/VR and 5G continue to evolve and converge with more advanced technologies, like quantum computing and the metaverse, they are enabling the creation of a growing internet of medical things (IoMT), which will extend itself everywhere – beginning with sensors in and on our bodies, to our homes and working environments, and beyond, to smart specialist care facilities. The result: unprecedented growth (36% CAGR over the next three years) in quantity and quality of health data available. Data – particularly the disparate, often unstructured data generated from our daily lives, which is often relevant to health outcomes – requires new analytical tools to turn it from raw information into actionable insights. EY identified two key areas for pharmacists to focus in order to create value in this intelligent health ecosystem of the future: · Personalized insights through artificial intelligence – AI offers a means to connect, combine and interrogate unstructured data differently and unlock actionable insights. With the power of AI, pharmas can begin to link the huge volumes of data generated and the vast array of technological tools being developed into a comprehensive, integrated smart health system. This data-driven smart system enables the breakdown of silos between care settings and optimizes decision-making across the patient journey. · User experience defines the value – The explosion in data and technological innovation offers pharmas a way to reinvent care as a patient-centered, personalized health experience. To succeed in this reinvented world companies will need to consider not only traditional clinical metrics, but also the non-clinical measures which capture the subjective reality of the patient's own experience. Use of these measures to generate actionable insights via AI will be the pivot for the move from data to value and thus, for BioPharma companies to gain fair reimbursement for innovation and new products.

This data-driven smart system enables the breakdown of silos between care settings and optimizes decision-making across the patient journey. · User experience defines the value – The explosion in data and technological innovation offers pharmas a way to reinvent care as a patient-centered, personalized health experience. To succeed in this reinvented world companies will need to consider not only traditional clinical metrics, but also the non-clinical measures which capture the subjective reality of the patient's own experience. Use of these measures to generate actionable insights via AI will be the pivot for the move from data to value and thus, for BioPharma companies to gain fair reimbursement for innovation and new products.

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: IoT, Ransomware, Human Factors of Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Tokenization - Understanding the Perfect Storm of Vulnerabilities to Manage Cyberthreats Originally Published: Apr 7, 2022YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/d-put3vQp7wNo matter how robust your organization's security stack is, vulnerabilities to intrusions still exist. Unmanaged cyberthreats can compromise your organization's ability to perform its mission by putting critical assets, data, and services at risk. As more and more organizations move toward the cloud, keeping track of where sensitive data resides becomes increasingly difficult putting increasing pressure on data security teams. Recent events in healthcare IT show that a zero-trust security strategy is the only way to prevent successful security breaches and ensure no threat or vulnerability to the continuity of care model. In this session, health system security leaders discuss how to: Manage critical privacy and security issues healthcare organizations face Establish and optimize information security and privacy operations to be better prepared to address current — and future — IT risks Transitioning and securing data methods and devices – IoMT, IoT Data protection and tokenization Getting clear, readable data out of the healthcare environment Mauricio Angee, AVP, Chief Information Security Officer, University of Miami Health SystemMelissa Lawlor, CISSP, Director, IT Security GRC, Hackensack Meridian HealthMichael Ebert, Partner, Guidehouse
CISOs know they can't plug all the holes in their security environment, especially when it comes to IoMT. However, just like when tackling any to-do list, they can prioritize, directing resources to the most critical vulnerabilities and devices. They can also structure their operations in such a way as to enable a rapid and coherent response when something does go wrong. In this important webinar, industry leaders will discuss how they handle vulnerability management and incident response.

Good morning everybody! I was on with Matt this morning and we had a good discussion about the security problems introduced by internet-connected medical devices know as IoMT. Let's get into my conversation with Matt on WGAN. These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig We still today have some of that same equipment that hospitals had 20 years ago. And most of it never gets updated. And the big reason is they say, Well listen, if we change the software in it if we do an update or an upgrade then recertification is necessary. Hey, happy hump day, everybody. Greg Peters here on this morning on mains radio stations with Matt, and we talked about a couple of my top issues this week. Matt always picks the best ones out of the hat. Matt 736 on the WGAN Morning News. It is Wednesday morning. On a Wednesday at that time means that it's time to talk to Craig Peterson, our tech guru joins us on Wednesdays to talk about all things technology. Craig, welcome to the program. Craig Hey, that's me. Matt That it is. You are also heard at this very station some other time. Right? What is it exactly that you're on this thing? The weekend or something? I don't know. Unknown Speaker 1:04 Saturday at one o'clock. We go into, of course, more detail and, and more of the articles that I publish every week. Like those, I send it to you, Matt. Matt Indeed, indeed. So let's talk I was talking a moment ago about telehealth and whatnot. So let's get the health prognosis on the security of some cool devices known as IoMT devices. Am I getting that right? Craig Yeah, exactly. That's the internet of medical things. Matt Ah, another good acronym for me to remember. Craig Exactly. Well, at least, you know, in the computer world, we have a lot of TLS three-letter acronyms. And this is an FMLA, a four-letter acronym. Oh, yeah. Matt All right. Well, it's a good question, though. Because with all of the medical connections we're making, I guess you could say. People are probably very concerned about the security of their health data and everything. Else than that, perhaps it is getting passed back and forth by these things. So how, how secure are they? Craig Yeah, well, here's your big problem. These devices are utterly insecure, for the most part. Excellent. Isn't that wonderful? Good news. Good news. Welcome to Hump Day. Yeah, here's the problem. We have all of these medical equipment in our hospitals. That's hooked up to the internet. I remember the first time I got a chain of hospitals as a client, man, and this would have been the mid-90s, I think it was. And they had all of these different machines, X-ray machines and others hooked up to their network. And I started to look into it back then it's been a long time and found Well, first of all, they had a flat-network. They were doing everything wrong. But we still today have some of that same equipment that hospital had 20 years ago. And most of it never gets updated. And the big reason is they say, Well listen, if we change the software, and if we do it An update or an upgrade requiring recertification. We're talking about everything from pumps through an implanted, auto distributed, or pacemaker that might be in someone's chest, these x-ray machines, these CAT scan machines, all of these things. Hospitals do seem to think that they just cannot do an update because then they actually would violate the law. The federal government kind of cleared up over the last few weeks, here saying no, no, no, no, in fact, we are encouraging you to run updates. Put them on, because these older machines are still running, believe it or not, Windows 95 XP or Windows seven. Operating systems that are no longer supported. Many of these machines have never been upgraded, which puts us all at risk, in this case, physical peril. Matt I'm talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru. He joins us periodically to talk about what's going on in the world of technology. Speaking of privacy, and questions like this, what's Amazon up to these days? I understand they told Congress something that was not true. Is that accurate? Craig One might think that that never happens, right? But here's what's going on. If you are a small business, of course, right now, things are probably more challenging for you than for a big retailer. Many small companies have been selling through Amazon, and it's been a great little channel for them. With almost half of the products sold on Amazon are being sold by third parties. But the problem that right now is that Amazon has come out with its own line products. Now, you might not be aware of this, but Amazon does have some of its own brands, that it's selling online. These are their private-labeled brand. There's more than 145 of them now. And you'll see them like Amazon essentials, which is Amazon, right and Amazon basic. They have other things like spotted zebra, which is a kid's clothing, clothing line, Hayden rose, stolen being those are all Amazon brands. Now apparently, they lied to Congress. No, they told Congress that they don't use merchant data. What they were doing is looking at all of these small vendors saying what is selling? Well, what kind of a margin could we have if we sold the same or similar products and went right around that small vendor that might have developed this product, and then introducing them as one of these hundred and 45 private label brands? Several regulatory probes are starting up concerning this in the US and the European Union. They opened, in fact, the EU and investigation last year. And they're probing Amazon's use of quote, "competitively sensitive information about the marketplace, sellers, their product transactions on the marketplace," unquote, to boost their own retail business. Matt Craig Peterson, our tech guru, joins us on Wednesdays to talk about the world of technology. And you can hear him on this very station Saturdays at one o'clock, where he goes into more depth and detail about all of these stories and so many more, Greg, appreciate it as always, and we look forward to talking to you again next week. Craig Take care, man. Bye. You bet. Matt All right, coming up next. Hey, everybody, take care Craig Craig Peterson here and we'll be back this weekend with my radio show. Some more podcasts. I did a Facebook Live. I don't know if you were able to attend them this week. I did not promote them. But I will be, I'll tell you.

Welcome! For being locked down do to this Pandemic there is certainly a lot of technology in the news this week. So lets get into it. I will give you my take on a recent federal court ruling about the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and website terms of use policies. We will discuss the many risks that medical device manufacturers are introducing into hospitals, clinics, and patients. We have a couple of stories about Apple, first off they are ditching INTEL and designing their processors and why the fake news media is so eager to announce problems with their architecture even when it does not exist and much more. So sit back and listen in. For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here another week with the Corona virus, I guess. Well, the latest coronavirus, right? This one is it called? Corona, SARS two. Cause it's another version of the SARS virus. Hey Craig Peterson, here on WGAN heard every Saturday right now from one till 3:00 PM and we talked about the latest in technology. [00:00:30] The things you need to know, things you can do. We kind of have a little bit of fun too. Sometimes we'll get into the real stuff that's serious and sometimes we just talk about some of the cool things and. Well, some things that I like to with the family and all of that sort of thing. And today, of course, is not an exception. [00:00:50] We've got, of course, these SBA loans, and you might've heard me bellyache about these because, of course, they're just not working. Uh, you know, I have a very small company and at the very least, I was supposed to get this little loan that every business that applied was supposed to get, and he supposed to get it within 72 hours. Blah, blah, blah. From the SBA and to date I've gotten absolutely nothing and it's been weeks. And to top it off, I got an email from them a couple of weeks ago that was really ambiguous and saying that maybe I needed to provide some more information. We called them up to try and find out what's up. [00:01:32] Things just don't work there either. It just gets totally, totally messed up. So for me and some businesses obviously, you know, like big ones have gotten millions of dollars, including schools, universities, et cetera. And the little guys that really need the money, we just aren't getting anything. [00:01:55] Welcome to the club if you're one of them. If you're not, I'd love to hear from you. How did you make it work as a small business? Yeah, you can just email me@craigpeterson.com I would absolutely love to know. And then to top it all off, what happens this week? Of course, the SBAs loan system crashes as businesses are trying to apply for this stuff. [00:02:19] Maybe about another, what was it, 310 billion in emergency funds? It was was supposedly released on Monday or made available on Monday, and the portal course crashed and kept crashing all day long. The bankers who are trying to get onto the system to apply and behalf of the desperate clients couldn't get anywhere. [00:02:40] Very frustrating to them. Of course, no integration between the banking systems and the SBA. No integration, easy way for small businesses or even these big businesses that are pretending they're small businesses. No way for them to be able to get the information out there. And many of them are venting online on social media against the SBA, the small business administration that's running the program. [00:03:06] Now I've got to give them a bit of a break because I heard a statistic this week too, that the SBA has processed the more of these loan applications in the last, what is it, a month than they have in the last 15 years, which is absolutely incredible. [00:03:26] American bankers association is on Twitter saying they're deeply frustrated at their ability to access the SBA system. America's banks can help struggling businesses, you know? When did I say at the beginning of all of this. Based on the amount of money they were talking about and assuming that there were a hundred million businesses. I mean, families, excuse me, a hundred million families in the United States. Somebody just do a little quick math here. 100, one, two, three, one, two, three that's a hundred million. Then times 60, one, two, three $60,000 dollars per family, lets see three, three, one, two, three, $6 trillion, which was the estimated cost of the actual first bailout. [00:04:14] You know, you heard 2 trillion and 3 trillion. The actual bottom line was actually 6 trillion. So what we're really, what we're really talking about here is the ability. For the federal government to have given every family in the country $60,000 can you imagine that? What would that do to the economy? [00:04:37] Giving every family in the country $60,000 dollars. Now remember too, that you are on the hook as a family for $60,000 that were given to all kinds of businesses that probably didn't need the money in the first place. And businesses that were, you know, a friend of this Congress critter, that Congress critter. You saw what Nancy Pelosi snuck into the bills. [00:05:03] The Republicans kept saying, they're trying to keep this clean. Let's just get this to small businesses. And of course, the way they set it up, the way they did it just didn't work either. Man is this is just me. Absolutely. Is it just me? Um. Yeah, the program first went in April 3rd it, and it's supposed to help the neediest businesses, these really small businesses, hair salons, coffee shops, dry cleaners, and businesses like mine. [00:05:31] And of course, it just didn't happen. Its Beyond frustration here for me and for pretty much everybody else. So these truly tiny businesses like mine are gone. They really, most of them are gone. I've seen estimates this week saying that it was probably in the order of 25% of them will never be back. And I was talking with one of my daughters this week and a restaurant in our neighborhood that has been here for almost ever. [00:06:06] A very old business. Uh, that restaurant, the building is haunted. It has been around for a hundred plus years, maybe 200 years. I'm not sure. Very, very old buildings. It's been a Tavern, et cetera, over the years. And he said, there's no way he's reopening. He just can't reopen. You know, he's been struggling for years. [00:06:28] It's a tough business to be in any ways, in the restaurant business, and I've seen stats on restaurants saying that we could see a 50% decrease in the number of restaurants. Number of restaurants, just an entirely here, 50% I don't know what the numbers are going to be. Um, Dallas. Here I, there's an article from, uh, the Dallas eater saying that Dallas restaurants opened in our May 1st is a bad idea. [00:07:00] Market watch has a thing about this as well. My state is reopening businesses, including restaurants and movie theaters. Am I selfish if I go?Many U S restaurants say PPP loans don't meet their needs. Yeah, no kidding. Right? Even if you get the money. You're supposed to spend three quarters of it on payroll and you've already laid off your people, how are you going to get them back? [00:07:23] Because they're making more money. As laid off people on unemployment insurance, and they would be, if you hired them back. So they're not going to reopen, and then you got to consider, well, okay, payroll was this much, but they were also getting tips which subsidized it because restaurant workers, many of them of course, making just to two or three bucks an hour. [00:07:46] This is a disaster. It is an absolute disaster. I don't know how many people are going to end up dead because of the consequences of what we did to try and slow down the Corona virus. And I'm glad we're able to slow it down. I don't know. Ultimately if flattening the curve is going to help, because you remember the whole idea behind flattening the curve was we did not want to overwhelm our medical system. [00:08:17] We didn't want the hospitals to be overwhelmed. Because we wanted the hospitals to be able to treat people that had this Corona virus. And they certainly were able to, we're seeing hospitals now, especially small rural hospitals closing down. Some of them may never open their doors again and they're not closing down because they were too busy. [00:08:37] They're closing down because it didn't have enough income because they weren't doing elective surgery. A their beds weren't even close to being full with Covid patients. Some of them only had a couple of Covid patients in them. So what, what , you know, um, and we've already had people who have committed suicide. [00:08:56] I'm aware of one, personally because of losing their job and now they had to pay the mortgage. They had to pay all of their other bills. They didn't have the money. The government was dragging their feet on it. And then the money that the government's been spending that did not end up in our hands, that money now is not only money we have to pay back, but it's going to drive up inflation. And what's that going to mean? [00:09:21] Well, It could mean, well, the antidote for inflation from a typical economic standpoint is well you raise interest rates. Do you remember raised interest rates in the eighties early eighties? I had friends who lost homes because the only loan they could get on their home was a a variable interest rate loan. And so they had one of these variable interest rate loans and the interest rate got up into the twenties. I think I remember it being like 22-23% there it there in the early eighties. And so their monthly payments. Just went up. Doubled, tripled, quadrupled some people, and they couldn't afford to keep their home, so they lost their down payments on the houses. [00:10:05] And people are complaining right now that they cannot get a loan on their home because they don't have enough of a down payment. So the banks are getting free money. From us., Ultimately, right? Or from the treasury. So the banks are getting free money and some of these banks now we're looking for 20% down, again, which is what I had to do years ago when I bought my home. [00:10:27] I never only ever bought one home. So man, things are going to be a mess. They are going to be a very, very big mess. Um. We'll see. In the Financial times, many U S restaurant's highly likely to return the small business aid. I was kind of interested in article denied by insurance companies. LA restaurants are waging a high stakes battle in court now because they had coverage. [00:10:56] It was supposed to cover this stuff and did it? No. Okay. Um. The many privately owned restaurants are saying the Paycheck protection program fails to meet their needs. Oh my goodness gracious. Um. This is, it's very ill suited for their industry from my industry, for most industries. [00:11:19] Basically, if you're a big enough business that you have a full time HR department, an accounting department, you probably could get the paycheck protection program. If you're a small business like me. And things are probably not so good for you, so, huh, man. Anyway, stick around. We'll get into the tech. I promise you're listening to Craig Peterson here on WGAN stick around because we'll be right back. [00:11:55] It kind of sounds like the national restaurant association show here with Craig Peterson, on WGAN. And I was thinking about my, uh, my favorite local restaurant. I love Mexican food. I have ever since I lived in Californ-i-a all of those years ago, out on the left coast. My wife, in fact, the native born Californian, and it, uh, it, I'm, I'm looking at them saying, how are they surviving. [00:12:24] Cause we would go over there once a week at least, you know, taco Tuesday type thing and enjoy ourselves. Have a nice little family outing. I haven't spent a dime there in six, eight weeks. I don't know how long it's been. It's been a very, very long time, so I just don't know. Anyways, let's get in. Let's get into the, um. [00:12:45] The stories for today, and we're going to talk about something that I think is really, really important. Uh, and of course, what else should we talk about? Right? But, uh, we've got, yeah, that was a drum roll. We've got an interesting problem right now. There is a law on the books right now that are inplace and has been in place for about 30 years, and it has to do with the definition of hacking. What is hacking, and it made sense about 30 years ago. [00:13:22] Nowadays, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Because we've got these terms on websites. So for instance. We'd talked about two months ago about a company that was scraping all of the information they could find about us, including our, our pictures, our video, our voices. But primarily they were after our pictures and from every site they could get their hands on from any site whether or not they were violating the site's terms of service. And some of these sites have sued them, et cetera. They've been hacked, and I guess that's what happens when you become a big target. But where should it be going? What should we be doing? We've got a problem right now, and there's a lawsuit that's been initiated by a group of academics and journalists, and of course the ACLU is behind it. [00:14:18] And you know, most of the time I look at what the ACLU is doing and wonder what it is they're up to. In this case, I think they might actually be doing something right. Isn't that nice for a change. They're arguing. That having these investigations against racial discrimination in online job markets by creating fake accounts for fake employers and job seekers. [00:14:49] Is that something that should be done? Right? Leading job sites out there in terms of service that prohibits that, right? So users of these sites are prohibited from supplying fake information, and the researchers are worried that the research could expose them to criminal liability. Because they're posting these things on the site and then they're trying to analyze all things being equal. [00:15:14] Was this a case of racial discrimination? So in 2016, they sued the federal government, and they're asking for whether a decision based on what they're saying is the First Amendment that you could in fact do almost anything online and get away with it. Now, I, for instance, you know, I have been using fake information on websites for a very long time, so when I go to authenticate myself, you know, they'll ask, what street were you born on? What's your mother's maiden name? I always make stuff up for that and I record it. So that later on I can always dig it up because you know someone can go online, they can become your bestest to Facebook friend. They can look at LinkedIn, find out about you and your history. And the younger kids these days have all of the information online and will for their entire lives. [00:16:17] So I have always used different email addresses, different versions of my email address, completely different names made up everything. Now obviously. When it comes to an official thing, like a bank account or government stuff, I'm not lying about anything except for my authenticity to be able to log into the site. [00:16:42] So I'll give my correct social security number, et cetera, et cetera, when it is required, because obviously would be a violation of a law, but they're saying. That under this federal law that's out there, the computer fraud and abuse act, it's been around for 30 years. Would it be illegal to create these accounts where we're just trying to figure out, are these people discriminating. So there is a federal judge by the name of John Bates who ruled on Friday a week ago, that the plaintiff's proposed research would not violate the CFAA, the computer fraud and abuse act provisions at all. And he said that somebody violates it when they bypass an access restriction, like a password, but someone who logs into a website with a valid password does not become a hacker simply by doing something prohibited by a web site, terms of service. [00:17:45] So that I actually, I think was a good ruling here. Now from the ruling itself, criminal is criminalizing terms of service violations, risks, turning each website into its own criminal jurisdiction and each webmaster into its own legislature. Yay. At last. Right now, unfortunately, courts are disagreeing about how to interpret this. [00:18:12] If this law is around forever. In Oh nine the California federal judge, right? What else? Ninth circus rejected a CFAA prosecution against a woman who contributed to a, myspace hoax that led to the suicide of a 13 year old by the name of Megan Meyer. And in that, the prosecutors argued that they had violated my spaces, terms of service. [00:18:40] In 2014 the night circus, uh, rejected another prosecution based on terms of service violation. So obviously I'm in favor of this. They're kind of moving in the right direction. We've got the seventh circus, uh, ruled that an employee had violated the anti hacking law when after quitting his job, he wiped an employer owned laptop that contained information that was valuable to his employer. [00:19:08] As well as the data could have been revealed misconduct by this person. So I think most of the way we're talking about the courts coming down the right direction here, but, uh, I, I'm very glad to see this because you know, that I. Protect site against hackers and hacking, not just websites, but businesses, right. [00:19:30] Including a real enterprise is real big businesses and I've done that for years. Usually the smaller divisions, because even the public companies have their own it staff and you know, they hold it all very close to the chest. It's in tasks. I don't trust anyone else. Don't, don't go with that person. Don't do what they say. [00:19:50] Yeah. Right. Which is, or I kind of get it cause I'd probably be saying the same thing, right. Cause I know what I'm doing, but in many cases they're just trying to protect their jobs. So when I am. Doing this. One of the things we do is have a honeypot set up. So what happens is the bad guys get onto a network and they started attacking. [00:20:13] They're immediately going to get into the little honeypot and the honeypot looks like an unpatched system. Might be a Linux system. Usually it is, or it might be a windows system, and so they start hacking away at it. And that immediately just sets off a trip wire, right? Cause I know, wait a minute, wait a minute. [00:20:33] Somebody's breaking into this system. So we monitor pretty closely. We know what's happening on it. I basically, all of the time, and there were interpretations of that law that would say that what I was doing was illegal. It was part of security research, even going on to the dark web and downloading some of these databases of hacked accounts. [00:20:55] Passwords, usernames, emails, et cetera. Even going online, looking for my client's information on the dark web could be considered to be illegal, so we've got to update these laws. There's a whole lot more, obviously, that we have to update, but I'm glad to see some of the stuff coming down on the right side. [00:21:15] Hey, we've heard about companies moving back to the U S now because of the Ruan virus and other things China's been doing. To our U S corporations for years. Uh, did you know Apple is doing something completely differently to this year that will potentially get them out of China, at least for the most part, stick around. [00:21:38] We'll be right back. This is Craig Peterson here on w G a N and online@craigpeterson.com. [00:21:54] Hey, welcome back. Craig. Peter sawn here. Listen to me on w. G. A. N I'm heard every Saturday from one till 3:00 PM and on Wednesdays I'm on with Matt during the morning drive time. You can pick me up at about seven 34 or every Wednesday morning as we talk about the latest in the news of technology. Hey, you might've heard of Fox con they are a big company based in China. [00:22:26] They have offices while manufacturing plants, frankly, all over the world. They've got factories in Thailand, Malaysia, Czech Republic, South Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines. They also were talking about opening up some plants in Wisconsin. Apparently those never actually opened, but they are. Busy worldwide. [00:22:49] And Fox con is Apple's longest running partner in building I-phones and some of the other devices that China makes. I mean, that Apple makes or sells, right, because remember who makes this stuff anymore? Well, Apple hasn't been making its newest IMAX or not IMAX. I shouldn't say a Mac pros. Yeah. In the United States. [00:23:14] Again, not that itself, it's a contracted manufacturing company, but the Mac pro, the one that came on 2013 as well as the new Mac pro are entirely made in the United States. Now, when we're looking at things like the iPhone and some of these other devices, yeah, they are certainly manufactured by Foxconn in China. [00:23:38] In mostly in at Shenzhen China location, but in fact, key iPhone components, according to Tim cook, are manufactured in the United States and then shipped abroad. And then the devices are assembled by Fox con, and then there's another company called Pegatron in China. Bottom line. What they are doing and what Apple is doing is protecting its intellectual property. [00:24:08] And we've heard of this before, haven't we? Where companies are in China, China requires them to give all of their intellectual property to their Chinese quote unquote. Partner, right? And Chinese national has to have at least a 50% ownership in it. It's real problem all the way around, and when we're looking at what's happening with the iPhone in the manufacturing in China, things are going to be changing. [00:24:37] In fact, they're going to be changing for a bunch of Apple's devices, including some of their new Mac books. If you've ever gotten into some of the hardware details inside of. It's a Mac books and, and in fact, they're Mac computers. Over the years, Apple has gone through a few different CPS. They were using the power CPU while before that they were using the murderer, Motorola, the 68,000 based CPS and a very, just an amazing CPU. [00:25:07] I remember at the time doing some operant system ports to it. It was just amazing. And then they went to Intel and, um. After. I'm not Intel, I mean, power PC, which was an IBM design. Frankly, power chips are the most amazing chips there are. Uh, from a cost perspective and performance. It's just, they are absolutely amazing, but they run hot and they use a lot of electricity, which is why you don't want them in a lab. [00:25:39] Top and Apple was not, or excuse me, IBM was not able to deliver to Apple chips that would meet their power requirements and performance requirements. So Apple said, okay, well we're going to switch to Intel because Intel promised that they would be able to provide the faster chips and they run cooler, so they'd be better for laptops and things, and they started using Intel. [00:26:04] And Intel worked out okay. Right now, by the way, uh, Intel is losing the performance war to AMD advanced micro devices. So that's kind of cool to hear those, you know, those things kind of shift back and forth every once in a while. But Intel has been unable to meet Apple's delivery requirements, and Apple's have been pretty tough over the years. [00:26:25] Look at what Johnny Ives has done with some of the designs, but Apple says, Hey, listen, we need a. Perf performance increase in the processor and we want to choose less juice and give off less heat. Well, those things are all difficult to do for a microprocessor manufacturer. So what Apple decided they would do is they went to an open source CPU design and started with that base and went on from there to have some just absolutely amazing chip designs. [00:26:58] Now I, I love some of these designs and they're showing up. But in all of our I-phones, if you have an iPhone or an iPad, you're using one of Apple's chips. Uh, the age 12, I think is the latest one. I'm trying to remember, uh, the version numbers, but, but they're made by Apple quote, unquote. In the U S for the most part, certainly not in China, and they are very efficient from a performance standpoint. [00:27:27] They're very fast. So they've been doing a very good job with these. Now, I, I talked to a couple of weeks ago about how much an iPhone would cost if it was made in America, and I saw another study that came out last week, so I had to bring this one up because the other one. Wasn't that clear. They figured it would only be a hundred $200 more. [00:27:48] So Wes, what RAs? Why Lara? This is from fi.org. You'll find this article online, uh, which is the foundation for economic education. And this is an article by Mark Perry. He's saying that an iPhone that today costs about a thousand dollars if it were made entirely in the United States, if it even could be, because believe it or not, the United States has fallen behind. [00:28:21] In manufacturing technologies because we have blood, China get ahead of us. We gave them all this technology to start with. I've complained about that before too, and now they are ahead of us, so we don't even have the ability to manufacture these things here in the U S right now, we not only have to ramp pump, but we'd have to develop some new technologies and. [00:28:45] That thousand dollar iPhone that is assembled in China that has some component parts made in the United States would push the price of an iPhone components from about 190 $190 that's what it costs right now. Estimated, right? Apple doesn't release these numbers, but estimated to cost $190 right now, it would be about $600 if it were. [00:29:12] Made in the us. So if the materials alone are costing better than triple what it would cost in China, we could probably see a $2,000 iPhone. Now, do you remember that the U S is only bringing in 6% of the profits from iPhone sales? Two out of three iPhone purchasers are not based in the United States. [00:29:38] Now, that's a huge change from years ago when most of Apple's customers are in the U S but right now with the whole. A wound virus has been spreading in China. The app, the iPhone sales are way down, and that's probably also true of other countries as well. So this is going to be an interesting little battle as we go ahead. [00:30:00] But here's the really big news as far as I'm concerned, and that is. That Apple is going to start making the Mac book using their chip sets. So like these eight, 12, and other processors I've been talking about, they've got the, uh, a fourteens are the new ones that are coming out. I think I got that model number right. [00:30:27] But these are 12 core chips and they are actually. Two chip sets. There's uh, that, that are in one package. It's just amazing what they're doing, but some lower powered ones for doing things that don't need a lot of CPU power and some higher powered ones. And they're going to be coming out in the new iPhones and the new iPad, but they are also going to be coming out in the new Mac books now that. [00:31:01] Is amazing. 12 core CPU is aided by a graphics processor that is probably going to have its own collection of cores. This is amazing. If you look at the current iPad pro tablets that are using the eight 12 X and Z chips, we're talking about an Apple iPad pro outperforming. 90% of recent PC laptops, so this could be amazing. [00:31:31] Apple's moving this, some of this back to the U S and they're getting Intel out of the way, and I think that's a good thing, frankly, for Apple. But listening to Craig, Peter sauna, WGAN stick around. We'll be right back. [00:31:50] Hello everybody. Welcome back. Craig. Peter Assan here on w G a N having a good time today. Hopefully you guys are as well, whether you are kind of locked up in the home maybe or any central person like you, me and your, you're out and about and maybe taking a little time on Saturday too. Work in the yard. [00:32:12] I appreciate you all being with us today. I have just absolutely amazed here what Apple is doing and congratulations to them now once get into our hospitals cause they've been in the news a lot lately. You know, we've got people. Who will have the Woodlawn virus, right? Who have the symptoms of this coven 19, which is very bad. [00:32:39] And, uh, it's particularly bad for older people. We have seen now covert 19, the average of the average. Age of someone who died, what state was, it was like 82 I can't remember if that was a single state or if that was a Countrywide, but that is frankly, absolutely amazing. That means it is killing older people, but we're also seeing other symptoms. [00:33:07] Now we have, people are getting blood clots. You heard about that athlete that had to have a leg amputated. Again, it's absolutely amazing here. Uh, hospitals right now, according to the New York times, this is from Wednesday this week saying that airborne coronaviruses detected and woo Han hospitals right now. [00:33:29] That is not good. Um. It's man. I'm just going through these articles. It just, it just, I shake my head, but we're starting to see some electric surgeries coming back to hospitals. Uh, most of these field hospitals that were set up or shut down. Down, they were largely unused and right here, according to the Bangor daily news on Wednesday, we've got two bankrupt main hospitals warn they could close in June if they don't receive stimulus funds and president and Trump has announced that, yes, indeed, our hospitals are going to get stimulus funds. [00:34:08] But if you heard me at the top of the hour, you heard. You heard me talk about how, uh, you know, we were promised funds too, and we just haven't gotten any. So it's, this is going to be a very, very big problem for us all. Uh, and when we're talking about hospitals, there's one other angle or that people just aren't paying attention to right now. [00:34:30] You know, w we talked about the ventilators. And there w there just weren't gonna be enough. Right. And here in Maine and all over the country, there were more ventilators than were needed. And that's true. New York as well. And come to find out, of course they sold 500 ventilators rather than maintain them. [00:34:52] And instead of ordering more ventilators, what did the government do there in New York? While they just commissioned a plan as to how they were going to ration them, who got. To die, right? That's socialized medicine for you. If I ever heard the definition of it, a total death panel, but the good news is we didn't need all of those, but we've got the internet of things and we've talked about it and I've talked about it in my tree trainings and we go into it in some depth. [00:35:21] In my courses, but the so called internet of things also extends to our hospitals. It's the internet of medical things, and these devices are going online. Hospitals and medical facilities are really starting to stare this in the phase. And I mentioned when I was on with Matt Gagnan on Wednesday morning this week, that there is a problem been around for a long time. [00:35:50] I have my first, in fact, a hospital chain as a client was 25 years ago. Maybe. And we were trying to clean things up for them, fix them, network stuff, put some security stuff in place. And what did we find? Well, those those machines, those hospitals, plus all of the clinics that were affiliated with the hospital had old hardware that they just weren't taking care of. [00:36:18] These devices that are controlling the systems in the hospitals. Everything from the air ventilation systems through. All of the medical equipment. Think about all of this stuff right from the, the drip machines, the Ivy machines, the ventilators, our the MRE machines, the x-ray machines. Some of these devices are running very outdated operating system. [00:36:46] Some of them are still running windows 95. Windows XP, windows seven none of which are currently getting patches or updates, and many of them were never intended to go on line at all. Think about that. When, when they were designed the windows 95 and XP. They weren't thinking about these things being hooked up to the internet or even other networks really. [00:37:13] They were just kind of standalone systems that sat in a corner and then the programmer said, Hey, listen, we can add, there's really cool feature. We'll tie them together. And so doctors can look at x-rays remotely. And so a system that was never designed with network security in mind all of a sudden had a network connection all of a sudden was being used online on a network. [00:37:35] In a hospital that had never set it up properly in the first place. I really wish more of these medical centers in the hospitals would call me because they need so much help, and many of them don't even realize it. They, these things have no cybersecurity protection whatsoever, and then the hospital networks are often not even segmented. [00:38:01] That's something I teach home users to do. So that's allowing attackers to enter anywhere in the hospital and move around so they can get to the billing. They can get to all of these machines there. Even being researchers that are saying they have seen hackers inside cardiac pacemaker machines. Think about that one for a little bit. [00:38:28] How about if it gets onto one of these machines that's running on an older version of windows or even a brand new one that hasn't been patched up and they get onto it to a hacker, it may just look like, Hey, this is just another windows 10 machine. I'm going to use it for Bitcoin mining. I'm going to use it for spreading ransomware around. [00:38:48] You think that might be a problem? So it is now Bitcoin mining instead of watching your cardiac rhythm. Right? And so when I was going to overheat, it's gonna use up all of the systems, resources. It's going to spread ransomware throughout the hospital. We've seen that again and again and again and again, and we've seen that again and again in , even in our state, New Hampshire has had this as well. [00:39:17] I talked to and helped a school district that had been nailed by ransomware and they decided they were just pay the ransom, which by the way. Tells the ransom Merz, Hey listen, let's hack them again and put another ransom on. Cause we know they pay the ransom right. So there's third problem the hospitals are having is with all of this vulnerable equipment. [00:39:40] They're not replacing them. They're not upgrading, and they're not patching them. And not enough of this equipment has been recalled by the manufacturers because the manufacturers have gone on to a newer model, Hey, listen, uh, no need to update that machine or buy a new one for only $50,000. So where are the manufacturers spending their time? [00:40:03] Where are they focusing their efforts? Well, obviously they're focusing their efforts on getting them to buy a new machine to design these new machines. It is a very, very big, big deal. Now, another one of the big attacks, most common, I mentioned ransomware when it comes to the intranet of medical devices, but. [00:40:26] The other big one is a distributed denial of service attack. Cause you remember these devices in the hospital are performing critical. Things, right? Very critical functions that, as I said, there might be running a cardiac machine on MRI. They might just be keeping track of doctor's notes, all of which are critical. [00:40:49] So if a nation state specifically targets an IV pump and changes the dose of medication, what do you think will happen? It certainly could happen, but the more basic thread is. These devices getting a denial of service attack. So the whole network at the hospital becomes overloaded and now nothing works at the hospital. [00:41:18] So there's, there are just the basic threats that aren't being taken care of. Ransomware, phishing emails, and these attacks are targeting the weakest and the oldest operating systems that are typically running on these devices and hospitals are top targets. Now, one of the big hacking groups out there that has ransomware all over the world said, Hey, listen, in this time of covert 19. [00:41:44] We are not going to be attacking the hospitals because it just isn't fair. And in fact, they have been attacking hospitals. They are the top targets still for ransomware because they're very vulnerable and they pay. And that's why, what was it, five years ago? Seven years ago? I designed a system just to, it's a small computer. [00:42:09] Based on a little in Intel Adam chip that sits in front of these devices for manufacturers, for controlling valves for more critical equipment. It just sits there. And it is a specialized firewall for that piece of equipment. So this is a problem. It's a very, very big problem in hospitals, frankly, are afraid to do anything because they're afraid they're going to get sued. [00:42:37] Their insurance companies are sitting there saying, Oh yeah, yeah, well, if you're going to do an upgrade, the equipment might not work. Properly and you might get sued. So we're going to increase the fees for our, for our services, for our premiums. Premiums are going to go up. Okay. So they just don't want to do anything. [00:42:58] And then you got the FDA right? Man, does this story ever end? And, uh, FDA is saying, Hey, listen guys, we're okay with you doing patches, the hospitals afraid of recertifying. And I love this quote here. Uh, it says it's a willful lie on the part of some stakeholders in the system that you can't update medical devices. [00:43:25] Why do you think that. W why do they think that? Well, bottom line is that. These device manufacturers are telling them, you can't update because your insurance premiums are going to get too high. The FDA says it'll have to be read, type accepted for use, et cetera, et cetera. But I want to let you know if you work for the medical community here at any level, the FDA. [00:43:54] Has post-market guidance that they issued in 2016 and in that, the FDA explained that while federal regulations require manufacturers to report certain actions, the majority of the actions taken by manufacturers to address cyber security vulnerabilities and exploits are generally not considered to be a type of device enhancement for which the FDA. [00:44:21] It does not require advanced notification or reporting. So some good news there, we'll let the hospitals know. If you're involved with this industry, guys, pull up your socks. Hire security specialist. Some of them have been doing it for awhile. That can really help you out because there's so much to know. [00:44:40] Hey, you've been listening to Craig Peterson and WGAN and online@craigpeterson.com stick around. [00:44:51] Hello everybody. Greg Peters song here. We of course are on every Saturday from a one until three and I'm on with Matt Gagnan as well on Wednesday mornings during drive time at about seven 34. I've been in the tech business now for many decades, and then the security business helping businesses secure their internet connections. [00:45:16] Really since 91 and I have quite a backstory, and one of these days we'll have to have to share it with you, but I'm a business guy and this whole security thing, you know, back in the day. I did not really understand security, probably like a lot of you guys and uh, but I was very, very technical. I had helped to implement a number of the protocols that are used on the internet and that was a big win for me because I was able to take what I knew, dig into it. [00:45:47] It took me a few days to figure out what had happened and then lock things down and I was kind of years behind at that time. Point because the, what I got, which was called the Morris worm, had actually been known for a few years before it hit me. And that was kind of a shame. So, you know, back then, of course you didn't have Google. [00:46:09] AltaVista wasn't around yet. None of this stuff was out there. We were using a gopher search engines, right. Or Veronica, Archie, Jughead back in the day, and trying to figure it out was really a bit of a chore. Once I figured it out, it was easy enough to fix, but I almost lost my business over that and that was a very scary occasion for me. [00:46:29] So I have really kind of dug into it, and I've been helping out a lot of businesses here over the years to help be secure, and I'm doing the same thing as well. For individuals. And that's what this show's all about, right? We're trying to help you guys out with that. Talk about some latest cool technology. [00:46:48] And, uh, I was so successful in being able to help outfit, I was even drafted by the FBI's InfraGuard program and trained, I've trained thousands of businesses literally here across the nation on what. To do in order to keep safe, and I continue to do that with free webinars, courses, memberships, all that sort of stuff. [00:47:10] Anyhow, if you miss the first hour today, I talked about a change here in the way criminal hacking is being looked at by our courts, and that's. Very good things about time. They changed that Apple is going to be selling max with its own processor starting in 2021. Say goodbye to Intel, and I would add to that. [00:47:34] Good. Riddens uh, also the internet of medical things. You've heard me, if you've been listening to me. Uh, you've heard me talk a little bit about the internet of things. Well, there's something called the internet of medical things as well, and that is frankly very, very scary. So that's how we ended up last hour. [00:47:56] And I want to invite everybody to go online. Go to Craig peterson.com you will see all of the articles I talk about today with all of the background. You can listen to my podcasts, you can watch my videos every once in a while. I even have some trainings. Up there, but if you sign up, you can get my weekly newsletter, which does contain all of that stuff. [00:48:19] Craig, Peter, sawn.com/subscribe so you can just get out your phone. It'll work on your phone. It'll work on your desktop, on your laptop. Craig Peterson. Now I saved Craig Peterson because it's an O. N it's not an E. N, it's N. O. N. Alright, so it's Craig, CRA, I G just like you'd expect Peter sohn.com/subscribe and I do not. [00:48:46] I do not pass to you. In fact, when I have something that I am launching, you know, a new, a new course, a new product, whatever it is, I will give you the option to opt out of that. If you're not interested in it, and I, I, you know, just click right there and you'll still get my weekly newsletter. But you won't hear anything more about that particular promotion that's going on at the time. [00:49:09] So I'm not like some of these marketers that just slam you every day. I don't even consider myself a marketer. Right? I'm a tech guy that happens to have something to sell, not quite the same thing. Anyhow. Um. Yeah, w and the plenty of free stuff. A lot of people just use the free stuff and that's all they need. [00:49:30] We have a report that's been in the media that I want to talk about right now, and this is a report about this so-called zero day exploit against iOS. Now, what is zero day exploit? Basically. Uh, what we're talking about when we say zero day means, uh, it's kind of like patient zero, who was the first person to get the Corona virus as an idea, right? [00:49:57] That's patient zero zero day here. When we're talking about some of these hacks means no one has seen this particular hack before, at least no one was aware of it. Now, sometimes the government agencies. Of our government and other foreign governments, we'll find something out. Of course they won't. Uh, they won't tell us about it. [00:50:20] Right. They'll just kind of use it. That has actually changed under the Trump administration. President Trump has been adamant that they share this information. I'm sure that keeping a couple of things back, but the NSA even has been sharing information about exploits that are going on. So we're funded about more and more of them, but in this case, there is supposedly an exploit that's out there in the wild. [00:50:46] And then the wild means it is being used. It has been seen out there. And this particular exploit is supposed to be used just by sending out a specially crafted, uh, email. Okay. And I'm supposedly, I saw another article that was saying, Oh, it's especially triggered SMS, a text message or message message or something. [00:51:11] So there's a San Francisco based security firm named Zach ops, and they said on Wednesday that attackers a dues the zero day exploit against at least six targets over a span of at least two years. Well. Now that's being disputed because Apple is certainly acknowledging that there is a flaw in the mail app, but it is a bug that causes the app to crash. [00:51:39] It does not give the bad guys access to anything. Basically. So the bad guys, certainly, yeah. They could crash your mail app and it's just going to restart automatically, or are you going to click it and it'll re restart right on your iOS device. But in this case, what we're talking about is something that's really a whole lot different, a whole lot worse, or is it frankly, right? [00:52:04] If it's not giving them access to your data. Is it really worse because it can't take full control of your iPhone, unlike what some of the media outlets were talking about. So Apple had declined to comment on the report, but they came out and they said that the bug posed a threat to iPhone and iPad users and there had not been any ax exploit at. [00:52:29] All in the statement they said, Apple takes all reports and security threats seriously, thoroughly investigated. Researchers report based on the information provided have concluded these issues do not pose an immediate risk to our users, and they go on to say that they found these issues in mail that. [00:52:47] Cannot bypass the iPhone and iPad security protections and no evidence that they've been used against customers. Now Apple's really good too about trying to track what is happening on phones. You might have noticed if you go in complaining about a problem with your phone and you go into the. Oh store. [00:53:04] They can look at logs on your phone to see if the app has been crashing, et cetera. So yes, indeed, they can check this out and take care of it. There have been a number of independent researchers that have also questioned the conclusion that zinc ops came to, and I think this is good. You know, you've got to be out there. [00:53:26] You've got to be talking about these things. Apple did respond. I like the fact that it was all public here. And that people were able to look at it and kind of figure out what was going on. Cause there have been exploits. We know that the WhatsApp app has been nailed a few times and I think part of the reason for that is WhatsApp is supposed to be secure. [00:53:47] Well, how secure is it. Really, and so they, the bad guys are constantly kind of going after it, trying to prove that it's just not secure at all. But really they identified a crash report. They found a way to reproduce the crashes and some circumstantial evidence. Told them that may be this was being used for malicious purpose purchase purposes. [00:54:11] Okay. Um, so, uh, anyways, that's where that stands. So what to do, obviously keep your software up to date. Apple is very good, unlike again, in this month. Microsoft's updates ended up causing serious problems. For some people. Apple's updates rarely cause those types of problems, and when we're talking about iOS, they just don't get any easier. [00:54:39] You can apply them very, very simply. In fact, they will usually, if you have automatic updates turned on on your iPhone or iPad at night, while it's sitting there on the charger, it's going to go ahead and update itself, upgrade itself, and then the next morning, Qatar, you've got the whole new operating system you had to do. [00:54:57] Absolutely nothing, which is, man, that is my idea of an easy time, and you've heard me before, I'm sure say don't use Android and people just, I ignored, I don't understand why. Right? Some of these people, like Danny, for instance, I'm thinking of, he follows. Everything I say to the T and it has saved him again and again. [00:55:22] In his small business, he has a franchise restaurant and you know, Oh, we'll see how the restaurant business does, but he's doing okay right now, but he still uses an Android phone and I don't get it. You know, I, I'm not really fond of. Any of these big companies, politics, you name the company, the politics are probably bad nowadays. [00:55:44] You know, it used to be assumed that, Oh, big corporations, they were big, they were evil, they were nasty. And if you notice the Democrats, now they're not talking about the evil millionaires. They're talking about the evil billionaires, because of course they're millionaires, right? To all of them, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, the senators out there in California, Feinstein and others. [00:56:06] But, um. You know, the these big companies, so many of them are so left-leaning. It drives me crazy, so I get it. If you don't want to use Apple stuff because you don't agree politically with Apple, I think that's an okay reason. But reality sets in. And you just can't continue to use Android. You really can't. [00:56:27] And if you can get off of windows, you should do that as soon as you possibly can. Anyhow, that's just my opinion. So stick around. When we come back, we've got more to talk about. Of course, we're going to get into a very kind of an interesting problem over at Amazon. You're listening to Craig Peters on a w G a N stick around. [00:56:50] We'll be right back. [00:56:55] Hey, welcome back everybody. Craig Peterson here on WGAN. You can hear me, of course. Every Saturday from one til three. You also can listen to me on Wednesday morning. Yes, I'm on with Matt Gagnon. Did you know there was a morning show. Yeah. Drive time. So I'm on with Matt every Wednesday at about seven 34 for a few minutes to talk about the latest in technology news. [00:57:23] And of course we get to spend a couple hours talking about this in more detail on Saturday. Well, we just talked about this iOS zero day bug, and what does that mean to you? Doesn't look like it's totally legit. Big, big problem with our medical devices and hospitals and otherwise they are still running windows 95 X P if you can believe that 2007, none of which are supported anymore. [00:57:55] And, uh, you also went into what. Uh, what really has been put in place out there to allow them to do upgrades and updates, but there's so much obfuscation. It's crazy. And then courts violating a site's terms of service is not criminal hacking. So if you missed any of that, you can find it online. You can just go to Craig peterson.com/iheart I also post this whole show as one podcast that you can find on your favorite podcast platform, whatever that might be. [00:58:31] By just searching for Craig Peterson. Or the easy way is go to Craig peterson.com/itunes or if you're like, hi heart, you can go Craig peterson.com/iheart or Craig peterson.com/soundcloud et cetera, et cetera, okay? But it's all out there and you can get the whole show, all kinds of. Put together for you, which I think makes some sense. [00:58:57] Amazon is the 8,000 pound gorilla out there. They have been just really taking over the online retail space in a very, very big way. In fact, the Amazon counts for about one third of all. US-based internet retail sales isn't that huge? Can you imagine having that kind of market share? One third of all of it, but it didn't get there entirely on its own in case you're not aware of it. [00:59:31] Amazon has about half of their items being sold by small businesses, by third parties, and you might've noticed that on label sometimes where the third party, uh, will. Ship has something to you directly, and yeah, it looks like an Amazon box and me having an Amazon tape on it. But in reality, what we're seeing is a return address that might not be Amazons. [00:59:57] Well, these typically are smaller vendors, so think of that for a minute. We've got about a third of all retail sales going through Amazon and about half of those coming from small vendors. That's a very, very big deal. And with the businesses the way they are today, you might want to consider. Should you be selling online? [01:00:24] A lot of companies abandoned eBay because of their pricing strategies and they moved over to Amazon and it's been okay for them over there. But I want to tell you about the problem that's happening right now at Amazon. And this is something I've seen over the years that has bothered me a lot. And I had over the years, a number of friends that had started software companies and some companies that I didn't even know that were. [01:00:57] Well, you know, I knew all of them, but I didn't know the owners. Then they had database software, they had scheduling software. They had a lot of different things, and what Microsoft would do is they'd, they'd keep an eye on the market and they'd say, Oh wait, wow. Wow. That database is doing really well and it's winning. [01:01:18] A lot of DTA deals that our database software's not winning. And the allegations were that what Microsoft was doing was kind of being a predator here cause they would go to the company that had the database software and uh, chat with them and see if the company would sell out at a reasonable price. [01:01:42] And then this is so anti competitive. It's crazy. But then. If that company didn't want to play ball, like sell themselves for super cheap to Microsoft, well, Microsoft was accused of doing and what Microsoft hadn't been convicted of doing in courts now is they would announce a product that competed directly with the small guy. [01:02:11] And wait to see who asked about it. So Microsoft would say, yeah, we have a database product for small businesses. Very easy to use. Drag and drop interface. Everything's going to be great. You are going to love it. And then Microsoft would sit there and see of companies would start calling them and say, when's your product going to be available? [01:02:34] What am I going to be able to do this? Well, in some cases they waited a year or more. And they never ever came out with a product. But what do you think happened to Mr. Small guy out there, the small business that had investors where the owners, they were founders had invested thousands of hours into it, maybe their entire life savings. [01:02:58] Well, people, companies, and I experienced this personally, companies who would sit there and say, well, you know, Microsoft is going to come out with something here. I want to see what Microsoft does. And so that small company. W is now out of business because what are they supposed to do? People aren't buying, you know, their models were based on so many sales and that was based on the people liking their product and talking about it and the marketing dollars they were spending. [01:03:29] But that money was going down the drain because Microsoft was there saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll, uh, we'll, we're going to do this. Yeah. Yeah, us, us, us. And so they got sued again and again, and they lost in court, but it was still cheaper for them and then made more money. Think of the billions in cash some of these companies are sitting on and, uh, that is a bad thing to do. [01:03:52] It really does hurt commerce. It certainly is not free trade. Uh, of course, we live now, I think in a largely a crony capitalist system. And they played that game. They played it very, very well. Well, back to our friends here, Amazon. But yet, you know, those allegations are still floating by the way, about Microsoft and many other companies that appear to be doing that thing in. [01:04:18] Here's what happened to them. Amazon. What happened was Amazon started looking at the merchants that were selling third party stuff on their websites, and the wall street journal has a great report on it right now because Amazon has its own in house brands. So it's making itself a direct competitor to many of these merchants who rely on the Amazon platform to reach. [01:04:50] Consumers. So now you've got your little product. Amazon is selling something that's similar to yours, or at least competitive with yours, and that's bad enough. But the wall street journal reviewed some internal company documents that showed that Amazon executives were asking for and getting data about specific marketplace vendors despite corporate policies against doing so. [01:05:23] Despite the fact that Amazon had testified in Congress that they never did this. And according to the wall street journal, more than 20 former employees told them that this practice of flouting those rules was commonplace. We knew we shouldn't, but at the same time, we're making Amazon branded products and we want to sell them. [01:05:48] So here's what they were doing. Amazon was looking. At what was being sold out there. And this one example that was given was something that I've bought. It's a car trunk organizer, and apparently Amazon employees access documents relating to that vendor's total sales. What the vendor paid Amazon for marketing and shipping and the amount Amazon made on each sale of the organizer before the company. [01:06:20] Then unveiled. It's own similar product. They're getting around the rules here. W we'll get into this when we get back. I'll tell you about some of these Amazon brands that you might not even be aware are Amazon brands. You're listening to Craig, Peter sawn here on w G a N every Saturday from one til 3:00 PM cause stick around. [01:06:43] We'll be right back. And of course there's a whole lot more to come today. [01:06:52] Hey, welcome back everybody. Craig, Peter sawn here. We were just talking about our friends at Amazon. I remember getting really, really upset with them. I sent them a a note, uh, years ago, decade or more, certainly more a go because Amazon decided it would patent something that it called one click ordering. [01:07:17] As though one click ordering was like some major leap forward and, and, and I couldn't believe the us patent and trademark office actually gave them a patent because I knew other sites that were doing it as well. It. This whole thing is totally upside down, not just with Amazon, but now you can get patents on almost anything and not, not just, I'm not just complaining about business processes here, business process patents, which, uh, I don't like. [01:07:48] Uh, but all the whole patent world, the whole thing has been changed, turned on its head with the new patent laws. It has gotten even worse, not better. Yeah, it makes it easier for the government, but in reality, it I think is hurting a lot of businesses. So let's see what we're talking about with Amazon here, where Amazon was combing through the data of these third party vendors that make up for about 50% of the products sold on amazon.com. [01:08:20] And these employees were accessing the data about what the vendor's total sales were, and they were getting around the rules by bending the concept of what's called aggregation according to the wall street journal and well, Amazon says that it did not access individual seller data. It did create reports of aggregate. [01:08:45] Seller data. And if a pool is large enough, that wouldn't be a problem. So if you've got 200 vendors selling iPhone cases, okay, but the example that the wall street journal is using here is have a trunk organizer. So in reality, how many trunk organizers were there at the time? So this pool of vendors, very, very small. [01:09:11] And when you're talking about a group of two entities, uh, okay, it's aggregated, but what's that telling them. So what Amazon had done then is they said, Oh, wait a minute. This is a very profitable niche that people who are using our services to sell it are in. So your small business, you come up with this idea of a trunk organizer, and it's better than any trunk organizer that's ever been made, and you're going to add two extra compartments to it. [01:09:43] I don't know what you're going to do right. You're going to make it very firm, very strong, and it can fold up, fit into a corner. And so you have to make some prototypes. You have to figure out, how do I do this? You might make a trip or two to maybe heaven forbid China or Indonesia or some other country, right? [01:10:02] Other than China, please. And you go out there for a few times, you. You end up paying, you know, easily 10 $20,000 just to have a stamp made that can stamp out your little product there for the insides. And then you got to get another vendor that had ships to that, that takes the material, sows it all together, and then can ship it out. [01:10:25] And then you have to have a minimum order sitting there in Amazon's warehouses ready to go. So you're into this one a hundred grand, maybe more. Plus all of the time that you spent doing it, which now is lost opportunity costs because you weren't doing something else while you were trying to design this chunk organizer. [01:10:50] So you have spent life savings on this. You've put it together. If you ever watched shark tank, and you look at some of these people, right? Most of those businesses fail. Even the ones that make it to shark tank. So you've done all of this. You had hoped that your business would succeed. Well, you're selling it. [01:11:13] It is succeeding. It's doing well. Maybe you've made back $50,000 of that a hundred thousand you put into it and maybe you get up to a hundred thousand Amazon notices. Whoa, this guy's making a lot of money. Maybe we should get into that trunk organizer business. In fact, we know exactly which models, which colors, which fabrics of his trunk organizer are selling. [01:11:43] Hm. So Amazon then takes the idea and runs with it. Amazon now has more than 145 private label brands. This is a huge, huge number. There is a website out there called this Justin. TGI research and they have a list of these brands that Amazon has. I'm scrolling through it right now. I had no idea. Most of these were Amazon. [01:12:18] You know, you've heard, I'm sure of Amazon essentials. That sounds like an Amazon brand, right? It is. Amazon basics. Okay. Those are obvious. But there's others like kids' clothing line scout and RO women's clothing, brand, Hayden Rose or furniture line stone and beam. Those are Amazon brands and you can't tell by the name, and I'm looking at this list over on this, Justin, and they all have their own logos. [01:12:54] You just, you would have no idea. Brass tacks leathercraft makes leather belts from, guess what those are? Those are Amazon chains. Ditch charming. Dove. Um, Ken sounds like charming Charlie, doesn't it? Hm. Uh, charm. Z silver. That sounds like chirpy. Oh my gosh. Amazon exclusive. Uh, and then charming Charlie's is out of business. [01:13:20] Right. Did you ever go there? My, some of my daughters used to love it cause you can get all of these little hoopy things and necklaces and stuff, but it goes on and on. This is, this is ridiculous. There's gotta be way more than what, what Tai and what wall street journal is reporting anyways, so they're saying those private labels account for 1% of Amazon's total sales. [01:13:45] That was according to a report last September, and some former employees apparently told the wall street journal that they are operating under the directive that Amazon's private label sales should be. 10% of the company's retail sales by 2022 so there you go. You know, we talked about the contentious relationships with eBay in the sellers. [01:14:11] Contentious relationships with Amazon in the sh in the sellers, the European union's competition Bureau opened up an investigation against Amazon. This is a very, very bad thing here. Uh, antitrust subcommittee chairman, David Sicilian from Rhode Island in house judiciary committee chair. Gerald Nadler. [01:14:36] We're pretty upset about this quote. This is yet another example of sworn testimony of Amazon's witnesses being directly contradicted by investigative reporting. So yay. At least somebody is doing investigative reporting out there. So I don't know. What are you going to do? I was upset with Amazon. I told them I'd never do business with them again, and then probably about 10 years later, I started doing some business with them again because it was the only place I could buy some of the things I wanted to buy, but they've been using this merchant data not good. [01:15:10] Not good at all. Well, we have a couple more cool things. We only have a minute or so left here in this segment, but let's get into this very, very quickly. At least get started. This is from dark routine.com they have a lot of great articles, but consumers and small to medium businesses are likely to fall. [01:15:31] For Corona virus scams. It said, now, I have seen a lot of emails coming in to me from companies saying that they can get me some of these loans. Uh, I don't think so. Uh, and I have, I saved some of them. I should put those out in my membership site or in the newsletter. You can see some of them do some training

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador, interviews Sridhar Solur, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Chief Product Engineer at the Shark Ninja Operating Company. Ira Pastor Comments So as we continue upon the themes of healthy aging and human enhancement, a principle that we’ve touched on of “Aging in Place”, a concept whereby older people are able to continue live in their own homes as they age despite changes to their health and mobility, various smart technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT), have the potential to play a significant role in enabling older people to do so. As populations across the globe are getting older and living longer, the world life expectancy index is projected to further increase over the coming decades, and there is considerable evidence that 1) older adults prefer to live independently at home as they age, rather than enter aged care facilities, and that 2) there are major economic benefits of supporting older adults to remain in their own homes and communities as opposed to costly option of institutional care. Sridhar Solur: Mr. Sridhar Solurhas more than 25 years of experience in corporate venturing, strategy, and product development, is an intrapreneur, technologist, and business leader specializing in robotics, IoT, mobile tech, and AI based industry/products, and has a core interest in "humanizing" interactions with technologies like voice and deep Learning, as well as blockchain applications. Most recently, Mr. Solur was Executive Vice President and General Manager/Chief Product Engineer, the Shark Ninja Operating Company, an innovation leader in the housewares industry, where he was head of all products under the Shark and Ninja brands includinhg robots, food-tech and appliances. Mr. Solur led all software development for connected devices/IOT, including cloud services and apps, and oversaw the creation of two advanced navigation robots with AI in the app, cloud and the robot, known as The Shark IQ Robot. Prior to that, Mr. Solur was Senior Vice President of Product Development for Xfinity Home and Internet of Things (IoT) for Comcast Cable (the American telecommunications conglomerate headquartered in Philadelphia which is the second-largest broadcasting and cable television company), leading their strategic development of products for the Xfinity Home business, from concept to creation, including devices and services in the IoT, home automation, and home security categories. Mr. Solur joined Comcast from Hewlett Packard (HP), where he was the founder and general manager of the company’s wearables and IoT business, as well as the founder and world wide director of HP’s cloud and mobile printing business, called the Mobile/IOT Incubator. There he created 'Engineered by HP' as a sub brand, supporting Wearables/IOT products for consumer lifestyle brands like Hugo Boss, Coach, Titan, Ferrari, and Movado. Over the years, Mr. Solur established several patents on media delivery, location based services, and cloud connected objects. In addition, he is on the advisory board of several startups and a mentor to 500 Startups, Alchemist Enterprise accelerator, and RIVER- Virtual Reality Incubator. Mr. Solur holds a Master of Business Administration from Boston University and a Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering in electrical engineering from the National Institute of Technology in India. On this episode we will hear from Mr. Solur: About his background; where he grew up, how he developed an interest in IT and tech, and how he rose through the upper echelon of some of the world's largest tech companies. An overview of The Internet of things (IoT) as it pertains to the concept of the "smart home" and various consumer use applications, including, home automation, wearable technology, connected health, and appliances with remote monitoring capabilities. An overview of the IoT related to the themes of elder care, the Internet of medical things (IoMT) and "Smart Healthcare” for creating a digitized healthcare system, connecting available medical resources and healthcare services.

Industry Experiences: Exciting Advances in Healthcare Technology to Improve Outcomes with David Houlding. In this series of the podcast, I sit down with industry leaders to explore the digital transformation disrupting almost every industry. In this episode, I was lucky enough to talk with David Houlding, Principle Healthcare Program Manager for Azure at Microsoft. David supports the healthcare industry by embracing the power of the cloud to provide better care for patients. From hospitals and insurers to pharmaceuticals and researchers, David links the industry to Microsoft technology to empower the healthcare industry and anticipate the healthcare needs of the future. Healthcare is a complex industry with many different factors contributing to success. One of those “puzzle pieces,” as David calls them, is technology. Today’s healthcare industry uses cloud technology to address a variety of unique business problems, such as reducing costs and improving patient outcomes. According to David, AI, machine learning, blockchain and IoMT (internet of medical things) can all contribute to the industry’s mission while maintaining compliance with data security and privacy regulations. David shares some of the technology trends he’s seen throughout the healthcare industry. In particular, he highlights: AI and machine learning for diagnostic imaging Virtual reality being applied to patient engagement and staff training Blockchain to enable collaboration between healthcare organizations IoMT (internet of medical things) to gather unprecedented amounts of data 5G wireless to enable new connected technologies and reducing latency These transformations are happening concurrently, resulting in rapid innovation and modernization in the healthcare industry. David peels back on IoMT specifically, explaining the impact this will have on diagnosis and care. From wearables to connected MRI machines, these tools can better monitor patient health and feed advanced analytics tools to improve outcomes. David and I discuss the immense opportunity provided by 5G. In rural areas that are still without high speed internet, 5G WAN will enable these communities to access improved healthcare anyway. In addition to levelling the playing field when it comes to internet access, 5G will also enable better healthcare services and patient engagement in traditionally underserved regions. We then dive into blockchain’s applications for the healthcare industry. David sees blockchain as a channel for healthcare providers to establish a collaborative network to unlock knowledge sharing. By sharing limited amounts of data in a targeted and secure healthcare blockchain, organizations can better meet business goals and improve patient care. David gives a few examples, including: Doctor credentialing to reduce redundancy across affiliated organizations Medical device tracking to determine when maintenance is required Pharmaceutical supply chains to verify the authenticity of medications Provider and payer “clearinghouses” to determine eligibility With blockchain, the information and actions occurring within the healthcare network can happen in real time, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional methods of collaboration and information sharing. David and his team are actively testing some of these use cases to refine the value of blockchain in the healthcare industry. He also dives into Azure’s Blockchain Workbench, which allows rapid prototyping of the technology. Customers can easily define the parameters, add data and test the blockchain environment in a centralized and secure manner. David also shares the enormous growth happening in healthcare AI. Using AI, thousands of medical images can be processed and analysed, saving time for doctors, allowing them to focus more on patient care and enabling them to triage patients in near real time. This information can then connect to the blockchain to share learnings with the hea...
Oh boy what a meaty session we have for you as Christina Mercer, Somrata Sarkar, David Price and Henry Burrell tackle three whopics (whopping topics) head on.Somrata takes us into the sometimes scary thoughts of our own digital afterlives. Should we be worried that we'll end up as misrepresentative chat bots one day? Who will have the authority to police the companies that harvest our data?Then Christina explains the knife edge America is on when it comes to net neutrality. Despite recent hope, there's still a chance the web across the pond will be ruthlessly metered and segmented.Finally David asks us if we've checked our unused email accounts recently, as there might be a lot of desperate noodle companies in there begging you to stay on their mailing lists.
