If you've listened to almost any contemporary preaching, including at Life Church, then the likelihood is you've been influenced to some degree by Timothy Keller. Keller, who passed away last month, had a remarkable ability to communicate, a deep love of Jesus and committed much of his life to making the deepest and most profound truths of the Bible accessible and understandable. One such example of this was in the way he redefined the well-known parable in Luke 15 as a story of a ‘Prodigal God'. Over the next few weeks our Life Groups are going to be working thought Keller's study in Luke 15 and discovering why he recast the parable as that of the Prodigal God.

Andrew and Mark abandon ship in order to check out a sci-fi remake of a Hitchcock classic. This week, we take a look at Fox's "Lifepod," starring Robert Loggia and Ron Silver. You know it's sci-fi because they got rocket ships in this one. Join the fellas as they stare out the porthole, waiting for this murder-mystery to develop as a group of passengers escape a sinking space ship. But, it seems there's more to these people than at first glance. Even the guy with the robot arm, because, again, sci-fi. Listen in, how about?

我们的生活就像一辆高速运行的列车，每个人都在用自己的方式寻找自己可以抓紧的那只安全扶手。有人成为了工作狂，也有人成为了斜杠青年；有人创了业，也有人去环游世界。相比我们的上一代，大都为了生存而工作；我们这代人在工作里倾注了更加多样的诉求。对于工作的态度和选择在很大程度上决定了我们的人生，也定义了我们是谁。 我好奇面对当下这些多样的选择，大家都是如何取舍？那些拼命工作的人背后的驱动力是什么？不想工作的人又在追求什么、抗拒什么？还有那些职场上的具体问题：大家都是怎么和老板谈升职加薪的？如何处理工作中复杂的人际关系？出来创业的小伙伴们都遇到了些什么问题？ LifePod关注当下年轻人的工作环境、态度与选择，分享工作里那些趣事、囧事、奇葩事。 【主持、制作人】钱浚雅 【logo设计】五颜六色的大亮哥 【制作总监】王若弛 【收听方式】 推荐您使用「苹果播客」、Spotify或任意安卓播客客户端 订阅收听《LifePod》，也可通过喜马拉雅FM、蜻蜓FM、荔枝FM、网易云音乐收听。 【本节目由JustPod出品】 【互动方式】 微博：@播客一下 微信公众号：播客一下

In this episode, Teri will give us a preview of the Voice Technology in Healthcare book that he co-wrote with David Metcalf (PhD), Sandhya Pruthi (MD), and Harry Pappas. Teri has made a compilation of a number of different people who contributed to the book which will be officially launched at HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society), a major medical information conference which will take place in Orlando, Florida on March 10th 2020. The book brings together the expertise of 32 thought leaders in different areas at the intersection of voice technology and healthcare.Key Points!The Voice Technology in Healthcare book and how it can be useful to all of us.How the book covers a cross section of the voice technology industry; where the industry is at today, a history of it, what is available right now, and its future.The Voice Technology in Healthcare bookIt’s divided into four main sections. Section one is made up of four different chapters and they serve as an introduction to voice technology. They cover some of the key concepts of voice technology in healthcare. The chapters include:Chapter 1This was written by Teri and includes an overview of why voice is such an important concept when it comes to healthcare and technology. Teri shares why he feels voice will transform healthcare and become the next operating system (Voice Operating System).Chapter 2It was written by Ilana Meir who has spoken at different voice events. She is the world’s most foremost expert on Voice User Interface design (VUI), and how it applies to healthcare. This will help in the design of voice applications because VUI is critical.Chapter 3It was written by Audrey Arbeeny, the founder and CEO of Audiobrain. The chapter is titled, “The Science Behind Sonic Branding: How Audio Can Create Better Patient, Caregiver, and Healthcare Provider Outcomes.” She discussed her 25 years’ experience working in healthcare, how the brain processes music and sound, and why sound is the perfect tool for communicating, helping to heal, and promoting wellness. She discusses some of the projects her company has worked on, the history of the voice industry, and where it’s headed in the future.Chapter 4It was written by Nathan Treloar from Orbita and it’s titled, “Secure Voice”.Section 2This one has seven chapters which look at voice technology and the patient experience. The authors of these chapters are mostly people who have had experience with creating voice applications and how they impact patients. The chapters include:Chapter 5It’s titled, “Automated Virtual Caregiving Using Voice First Services: Proactive, Personalized, Holistic, 24/7, and Affordable” It was written by Stuart Patterson from Lifepod.Chapter 6This is about voice and wearables and was written by Dave Kemp.Chapter 7This was written by Rupal Patel and it’s about synthetic voices for healthcare applications. Rupal has been doing some amazing work looking at how people can create voices for brands, but also for the medical field where a voice can be created for someone who is losing their voice.Chapter 8 & 9These include edited versions of podcast interviews that took place in Voice First Health Podcast. Teri wanted to incorporate the interviews in the book to bring a real personal aspect to the narratives that readers will be reading in the book.Chapter 8 is titled, “Voice First Health Interview: An Diabetes Care Plan” This was with Anne Weiler who actually won an award for her diabetes Alexa skill.Chapter 9 is titled, “Voice First Health Interview: Alexa Skills for Pediatrics” This interview was with Devin Nadar speaking about some of her experiences with creating skills specifically for kids.Chapter 10This one was written by Robin Christopherson, and it’s called “The Rapid Rise of Voice Technology and its Awesome Power to Empower” It’s all about accessibility and he wrote about how the Echo and voice first technology more broadly represents a fantastic opportunity for people with people with disabilities.Chapter 11It’s titled, “An Overview of Voice Technology and Healthcare” and it’s by a team of authors from Macadamian Technologies.Section 3It’s titled, “Voice Technology and the Provider Experience” and it’s all about what the healthcare provider is experiencing with voice technology.Chapter 12It’s titled, “Mayo Clinic: Patient Centered, Innovation Driven” and it’s written by a team at the Mayo Clinic, including Dr. Sandhya Pruthi who is one of the cover authors of the book.Chapter 13This is another Voice First Health interview titled, “Voice Technology for Behavioral Changes” where Teri talked to Dr. Matthew Cybulsky about how we can use voice technology to really influence positive behavioral changes with the hope of positive health outcomes.Chapter 14It’s called “The Laws of Voice” and is written by two lawyers, Heather Deixler and Bianca Phillips.Chapter 15This one is based on a Voice First Health Podcast interview, and is called “Medical Documentation in the Voice First Era” It features Dr. Harjinder Sandhu from Saykara and he talks about medical documentation through voice.Chapter 16It’s written by Yaa Kumah-Crystal and Dan Albert from Vanderbilt University and they are looking at creating a voice enabled EMR (V-EVA). They discuss the considerations for designing a voice user interface like Siri or Alexa, to help doctors ask for information from the electronic health record, and have it summarized back by the computer in words. Chapter 17It’s titled, “The Power of Voice in Western Medical Education” and it was written by Dr. Neel Desai and Dr. Taylor Brana. They are leaders when it comes to using voice to educate the next generation of medical students. They have an Alexa skill, MedFlashGo, that is doing just that.Chapter 18This was written by Michelle Wan and is titled, “Voice First Health Interview: Voice Technology for Educational Simulations”Chapter 19It was written by Ed Chung and is called, “Voice Control of Medical Hardware”.

In this episode, Teri talks to doctors Matt Cybulsky and Reid Maclellan, who were both with him at the Voice of Healthcare Summit in Boston in the summer.The three interviewed each other in more of like a fireside chat about the incredible things going on at the intersection of voice technology and healthcare, and in particular the great stuff that they heard when they were at the Voice of Healthcare Summit.Matt Cybulsky is the founder and chief consultant of IONIA Healthcare Consulting, where they offer organizations with support addressing strategic and operational innovative projects. His expertise focuses on technology and healthcare delivery.Reid Maclellan is a physician and adjunct professor at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital. He’s also an instructor of surgery at Harvard Medical School as well as the founder and CEO of Asclepius, an artificial intelligence company with the mission to restore the care in healthcare and improve quality of life for patients and physicians. Key Points from the Discussion!Conversations at the Voice of Healthcare Summit around building applicable tools, ethics and privacy, and expanding tech for voice-first.Key Takeaways from the SummitCompared to the summit in 2018, the number of people doing incredible things in the voice space and healthcare more than doubled. This is evidence that there is a lot of continuously increasing interest.The breadth of different speakers who were representing so many organizations also increased.There were so many different topics in voice and healthcare.We are going to see a skyrocket in wonderful applications that are going to assist physicians and patients in healthcare.Tangible Builds for VoiceThere’s been excellent research in the integration of voice technology into EMRs.The idea of vocal biomarkers is a fascinating area with great potential.There are different voice applications, like from the Mayo Clinic, which has been growing their applications beyond just being informational skills to integrating patient care with voice technology.Beyond Pilot Projects2019 has been called the year of the pilot.Most revolutionary applications that could impact healthcare on a massive scale are still in pilot stage.Some of the organizations, hospitals, and clinicians that have their own pilot projects that they want to grow will need to hasten their efforts in coming out with tangible tools, because some of the larger firms with more capital will start introducing voice tools and interactive features that may be a little more advanced. One of the biggest barriers to launching health-oriented voice applications at scale has been the protection of users’ privacy. With the recent HIPAA Compliance for Alexa for certain institutions, we are going to see some of the healthcare applications come online.The Mayo Clinic has been giving patients a lot of information through voice applications.AI in GeneralA user can converse with an AI type bot in different ways.AI is not intelligent until the creator makes it that way. That’s why a lot of AI was originally formed based off of image pattern recognition because it was easy to give the computer a bunch of data (all the same images), and then a few that were different, for it to learn.With the advent of NLP (Natural Language Processing), AI can understand conversations and words.There will be a cultural change for physicians to really adopt conversational AI.Notable Speakers at the SummitNathan Treloar of Orbita is a heavyweight boxer in the voice first world. Orbita has tools that are tangible and being used in the market. They’ve been able to achieve great milestones.Stuart Patterson of LifePod opened people’s eyes in as far as what can be done in home health, keeping families informed about loved ones who are ill, care for the elderly, and so much more.Punit Soni of Suki talked about the concept of being able to utilize voice while you’re hands-on with the patient and not being distracted by the keyboard and screen.Bianca Phillips of e-Health Consultants talked about the ethics and law of voice technology in health.Other interesting speakers included Michael Antaran of CARROT Pass, Henry O'Connell of Canary Speech, Audrey Arbeeny of Audiobrain, and others.Voice as a Potential Vital SignThere’s a study that was done by Mayo Clinic and BeyondVerbal to look at patients who were going in for a coronary angiogram and they had those patients read different statements. They then looked at the outcomes of the coronary angiograms and found a statistically significant correlation between the way someone speaks and the risk of coronary heart disease.They also did a study to look at people with congestive heart failure. They followed those people over time and had them read or describe an experience. They found a statistically significant correlation between the way someone spoke and the risk of death.Links and Resources in this EpisodeThe Comprehensive Flash Briefing Formula CourseVoice of Healthcare Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Starting our new audio extras series with Dave McNee and Si Munsie. Si and Dave expand on the teaching covered in part 3 of the "Jesus Talks" series, which was preached by Dave McNee and focused on Mark 4: 35-41.

In this episode, Teri welcomes Bradley Metrock, the CEO of Score Publishing and the creator of VoiceFirst.FM, the leading podcast network covering everything about voice technologyBradley is the guy behind some of the best voice technology events out there in all different sectors. The flagship event that he puts on is Project Voice, and he also puts on many voice events covering many different verticals and industry sectors which include healthcare.Key points from Bradley!The Voice of Healthcare Summit 2018 and 2019, and some of the things that he has observed over the last year with regards to the evolution of voice technology particularly in the healthcare sector.Amazon Alexa’s HIPAA Compliance and how it will affect Amazon in both the short and long term.Developing an Event Around Healthcare and VoiceThe genesis of the Voice of Healthcare Summit started with the Voice of Healthcare Podcast which he co-created with Dr. Matt Cybulsky.They needed an in-person gathering of all the people interested in voice technology and AI, and its intersection with modern healthcare. The perfect venue for it was Harvard Medical School. They piloted the event in 2018 and it went very well. They had very qualified attendees and fantastic speakers.The Current Happenings in Healthcare and VoiceWe have sort of reached a saturation point especially for the early adopters of voice technology. There’s a prevailing thought on what the next voice technology that will carry us forward will be.There are still plenty of people who are yet to interact with computers by voice. More people are still discovering what voice technology can do for them that other interfaces cannot.It feels like the industry is plateauing, but several companies are making major moves.Samsung came out with a number of developer tools and Bixby 2.0. Apple hired some people to get more serious on improving Siri. Microsoft’s decision to partner with Amazon Alexa had a number of positive implications for their business.Different companies are diving into voice strictly into specific verticals.He predicts that there will be some sort of killer voice app in healthcare that will open up people’s eyes to the potential of what voice can do for people everywhere. Looking at the conference program at the Voice of Healthcare Summit 2019, one company called Canary Speech is well-funded and has top-notch computer scientists involved. They use voice to impact healthcare by analyzing the sound waves in someone’s voice, and measuring them against the person’s baseline and other benchmarks that they have.Other companies that will talk about their great voice apps include CARROT Pass, The Mayo Clinic, Orbita, Lifepod, Triad Health A.I. (They have a very different approach using their voice platform to help people who have been diagnosed with Parkinsons), Transform9, and many more.Innovation in Voice for Healthcare Versus Other VerticalsThe amount of innovation taking place in other verticals is huge but the attention on them by their respective sectors is different. For example, in the hospitality sector, based on the Voice of Hospitality Summit, there is a lot of innovation going on but there is very little attention on that from the hospitality market. The adoption of those technologies is very slow.From the Voice of the Car Summit, there’s plenty of innovation going on in voice technology for cars, but the attention from the market is slightly less than in healthcare or hospitality.Amazon Alexa’s HIPAA ComplianceIt brings things to a whole new level.The number of devices being sold is something that can’t be ignored.The fact that Amazon would go to the trouble of getting Alexa to be HIPAA Compliant sends a signal that voice and AI can deeply impact healthcare positively.Links and Resources in this EpisodeVoice of Healthcare Summit 2019Voice Summit 2019 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dave McNee and Si Munsie explain the purpose behind these audio extras - that still need a proper title, and a theme tune! In future, you can expect to hear extra content which is linked to our Sunday teaching, interviews with guest speakers who're coming to the church as well as general news and updates - but never from Chris Kilby. Listen in and find out why!

In this episode, Teri reached out to a number of key influencers in the voice-first health space so they could share what Alexa’s recently acquired HIPAA compliance means to them. Alexa healthcare skills created by industry leading healthcare providers, payers, pharmacy benefit managers, and digital health coaching companies are now operating in a HIPAA eligible environment. In the future, Amazon will enable developers to take full advantage of this capability. Key points!The recent announcement by Amazon that Alexa is now HIPAA Compliant and how this will impact the voice-first health space and health in general.Current HIPAA-Compliant Alexa Healthcare Skills Express Scripts - focuses on home delivery of prescriptions.Cigna Health Today - allows eligible employees to manage their personalized wellness incentives.My Children’s Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) - This is by Boston Children’s Hospital and it allows parents and caregivers of children to provide their care team’s updates on recovery after surgery.Swedish Health Connect - It allows customers to find an urgent care center near them and schedule appointments.Atrium Health - allows North and South Carolina residents to find urgent care locations near them and schedule same-day appointments, find out about opening hours, and current waiting times.Livongo Blood Sugar Lookup - allows members to actually look at some of their diabetes care plan parameters like querying their last blood sugar readings, blood sugar measurement trends, and receiving different insights.Nathan Treloar of OrbitaHe is the president and co-founder of Orbita.Alexa becoming HIPAA-Compliant is big news for his company and the healthcare industry.Orbita provides a secure platform for creating voice-enabled virtual assistants for the healthcare industry. They offer HIPAA-Compliant virtual assistants for web and mobile chat, and custom devices, but have not been able to do the same for Alexa skills.Their clients and partners always ask about HIPAA for Alexa. They had been waiting for the Alexa HIPAA compliance announcement for 3 years.Now they can go beyond the general health information services and symptom checkers that are the standard of healthcare applications in the skill store, and build much more personalized health information applications that provide highly contextual guidance and support.Bianca PhillipsShe is a lawyer and looks at the implications of voice technology on digital health lawmaking.She is the founder of the Electronic Health Consulting Group.She is excited to hear that Alexa has achieved HIPAA compliance which means that the new healthcare skills are going to benefit patients.She believes that the next big step is about digital health companies considering the present day and future uses of their data and data rights. Data rights are tied to a person’s sense of security so it is critical to developing trust that there is determination of how rights should be distributed amongst different parties. It’s going to involve companies looking at past law making and private decision making in the area of data ownership, to help them understand the historical challenges of data ownership and aid their development of considered stance moving forward. That would signal real digital health leadership.Dave Kemp He is one of the foremost thought leaders in hearables and how voice technology is affecting, influencing and being incorporated into hearables.He is a part of Oak Tree Products, a company that provides medical supplies and devices to the hearing technology industry.He feels that the Alexa HIPAA-Compliant news is one of the most important developments in the whole voice technology space, not just in the healthcare setting. The compliance needed to happen for voice technology to be implemented into the healthcare setting in a meaningful way.There will be numerous possibilities like linking your wearable data to Alexa so that you can ask Alexa about the type of data that is being recorded. There are going to be some very interesting use cases.Patients, healthcare providers and all of the different entities that work in-between the patients and healthcare providers are all going to benefit. Heidi CulbertsonShe is the founder and CEO of Ask Marvee, a company that is devoted to providing voice applications/voice skills to help the aging population maintain their independence in their home.She feels voice is still in its infancy and HIPAA protection is very important. She sees the Alexa HIPAA compliance as a starting point to address privacy and personal health information. It’s also a recognition and validation of the huge impact voice can have across all the many healthcare touch points in hospitals and homes.It will be extending the edges of healthcare its reach and its interaction models.It’s a huge opportunity for innovation and partnership amongst health organizations and third-party development and design shops.Dr. Neel DesaiHe is the co-founder of MedFlash Go, Alexa’s first interactive medical question bank for medical students.He feels Alexa’s HIPAA compliance will be a great thing for patients and healthcare teams, as it will reduce a lot of friction and allow for what is most important, which is communication between healthcare teams and patients, which will make it easier to reduce errors, save time and make it easier for healthcare teams to make sure patients are compliant with their medications.It will also be helpful for patients to communicate as far as they are having problems with medications and things that get lost with constant telephone calls back and forth.Stuart PattersonHe is the CEO of Lifepod Solutions. Lifepod is all about creating pro-active voice (meaning the voice technology can initiate the interactions) for supporting elderly living in various homes or trying to maintain independence in their own homes, and using these devices as true assistant in their lives.He doesn’t think Alexa’s recent HIPAA compliance announcement is a breakthrough because Nuance has offered HIPAA-Compliant voice technology for years, particularly for in-hospital voice-first use cases like dictation, transcription and data entry into EHR. Those are the most obvious and cost-effective use cases for voice in the healthcare market, as long as its reactive voice only.He feels having a HIPAA version of Alexa definitely benefits the voice-first market overall, because they are a leader in that market. Alexa use cases in healthcare, however, are like all of the other virtual assistant services done so far. They are in a self-service model, and they exclusively use a reactive voice mode where the user speaks and the service tries to respond.Timon LeDainHe is the Director of Emerging Technologies at Macadamian Technologies, and they help providers and healthcare organizations to create some really innovative healthcare related skills, for example, voice-enabled healthcare plans like the Diabetes Care Plan.They were thrilled to learn that Amazon had released their HIPAA-Compliant Alexa skills kit. The compliance will unlock opportunities with organizations which demand HIPAA-Compliant end-to-end solutions and had been waiting for this before exploring voice opportunities in earnest.They have developed work-arounds in the past to achieve compliance with the healthcare-related Alexa skills they released previously, but they still didn’t get around Amazon’s terms of service which prevents any personal health information to be captured via an Alexa skill.Companies like Macadamian were working in the grey with their early adopters while they waited for Amazon to address the compliance.They now anticipate significant new business coming from pharma and medtech companies, for their omni-channel digital health platform as a service.They look forward to seeing voice play a larger role now in the digital transformation of the healthcare industry, and new digital therapeutic solutions under development today.Dave IsbitskiHe is the Chief Evangelist of Amazon Alexa, keynote speaker, podcaster, and voice designer.Alexa’s HIPAA compliance is in private beta.It will enable patients and healthcare providers to get and track information easily.He is excited about the future, and what the compliance means for the healthcare industry.He is excited to see the skills that people will build.Links and Resources in this EpisodeNathan Treloar InterviewBianca Phillips InterviewDave Kemp InterviewHeidi Culbertson InterviewStuart Patterson InterviewTimon LeDain InterviewDave Isbitski See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Teri welcomes Lorraine Chapman, the Senior Director of Healthcare Services at Macadamian Technologies.Macadamian provides user experience research design and software consulting to the healthcare market. Lorraine heads the healthcare services group which has been specifically focused on healthcare for over 6 years. As part of her role, she provides strategic UX and business direction to digital and connected health companies and providers across the United States and Canada.The result of Lorraine’s commitment to solving customer problems is a unique ability to harmonize technology with the needs of people who use it. Lorraine’s goal is to make interactions with healthcare (services and technology) easier, satisfying and meaningful for all stakeholders involved, including patients.Macadamian's Voice First ProjectsMore and more clients are going to them directly due to their voice experience. Most of the clients are healthcare companies that have an existing product that they want to integrate voice into.Some clients, who include provider networks and other healthcare vendors, approach Macadamian with their own voice first solutions looking to disrupt the market especially in remote health monitoring.The solutions are based on medication adherence (for example LifePod, a voice first solution that helps seniors living independently by reminding them to take their medication. The unique part of LifePod is that it doesn’t wait for the senior to wake it up, it instigates a conversation and tracks everything in the background to ensure that a senior actually takes their medication)They have also done clinical trial-based projects where they create voice applications that support clinical trial processes for patients. Patients can participate in clinical trials from their homes.User Experience Challenges or BarriersIt’s always a challenge for them to design applications that fully incorporate the nuances to our language and the way we interact with people, but their user experience team has a very specific process that they employ to ensure that they overcome that challenge and develop the best quality, easiest and friction-less experience for the target user base.Their usage scenarios are very conversationalThey must do usability testing because it’s very crucial when developing a voice application.My Diabetes CoachThis is a digital therapeutics application/platform that Macadamian developed in collaboration with CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario). The application is for juvenile youth with Type 2 Diabetes.CHEO wanted to provide an omnichannel platform for the youth that included a mobile app and a voice first application.The platform integrates a lot health related things including integrating directly into a physician’s HER so that they are getting the needed data. It’s also integrated with content management information, weight scales, glucometers, fitbits and others. Juvenile diabetics only see their clinician 1% of the time while they have to deal with it daily so 99% of the time, they deal with it on their own. My Diabetes Coach supports them and their care givers when they are on their own.The voice interaction component of it allows the youth to provide information through voice or ask questions.Further development of the application/platform is ongoing.They have developed an underlying digital therapeutics platform that could be customized for other areas.They are still working with CHEO and are planning to go into pilot with patients.The application is fully HIPAA Compliant and secure.Links and Resources in this EpisodeLifePodMy Diabetes CoachMacadamian’s WebsiteLorraine’s Email See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this special episode for the New Year 2019, Teri takes a look back at the last 10 episodes or so, where he had the opportunity to ask each of the guests what voice first health means to them. Teri has interviewed CEOs, thought leaders, researchers, industry leaders, developers and all kinds of people that are working the voice first health space. Key points!The common thread among the guests on the podcast so far has been that they are interested in voice technology and healthcare. Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 15: Dave KempDave talked about how the hearables industry is transforming as a result of voice technology entering that industry.Dave is part of Oak Tree Products which provides medical supplies and devices to the hearing technology industry.He runs the Future Ear Blog where he documents the technological breakthroughs that are occurring in the hearables niche.What Voice First Health Means to DaveThere are so many efficiencies to be had here. The area for improvement is all the clerical work in the actual medical setting from how doctors record notes to the healthcare administration processes.Capitalizing on the new efficiencies to make the whole medical system more efficient.He thinks the smart assistant will eventually be a person’s personal nurse. Through voice analyzation they will be able to understand a person’s state of health. Amazon has a patent based on Alexa being able to tell if a person is sick based on the inflection of their voice and it would prompt them to seek medical help.Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 16: Erum Azeez KhanErum spoke about creating voice applications for the aging population and specifically seniors living in senior living campuses. She also talks about how voice technology is affecting those seniors.What Voice First Health Means to ErumThey look at how much caregivers can do through voice without having to go to the screen because when they look at a screen, their attention is directed away from their patient or the resident under their care.They focus on human-centric design to make connections stronger.Voice First helps strengthen relationships. It’s a way to stay engaged with other people and the tasks at hand. It’s also a way to create transparency because it’s a multiplayer experience.Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 17: Dr. John LoughnaneDr. Loughnane spoke about some of the fascinating and impactful work that they are doing in the voice first health space.What Voice First Health Means to Dr. LoughnaneIt means patients having the ability to engage with augmented care from their medical/social/behavioral health providers in a way that they’ve never been able to deliver in the past.Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 19: Brian RoemmeleBrian has been studying voice technology for decades. He is one of the most eminent thought leaders in voice technology.Brian talked about his vision of the future of having a truly voice first assistant.What Voice First Health Means to BrianElderly people are becoming isolated because of the reality of societal existence as we are today. We used to live communally as big families but now we separate ourselves.The elderly don’t get to speak very often because nobody wants to talk to them anymore. Voice first technology will enable the elderly to at least create some dialogue and ask questions.The technology is extending their usable lives. They are able to inform themselves, reach out into the world, get access to podcasts and get access to information that they would not have had access to because the user interface is not getting in the way.Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 20: Jim SchwoebelJim is the founder and CEO of Neurolex, a company that is using speech analysis to detect health conditions using the data that is wrapped in the wave forms that we create every time that we are uttering a word or phrase.What Voice First Health Means to JimIt’s looking within voice and using that information to improve healthcare through our work.Voice First Health Podcast, Episode 21: Stuart PattersonStuart is the CEO of Lifepod, a company that has created a product that allows proactive conversations from Alexa to a senior living in their home that needs some extra help, guidance and reminders in their daily activities.What Voice First Health Means to StuartHe is always excited by the possibility that a caregiver can support and monitor their patient or parent from a distance, whether it’s a short or long distance.

In this episode, Teri welcomes Stuart Patterson, the founder and CEO of Lifepod, a revolutionary new service that can best be thought of as “2-way Alexa for the elderly” which enables seniors to use their voice to live more comfortably and safely in their home by providing essential services such as news/weather updates, medication reminders, access to transport, control of smart-home appliances, and fall detection.LifePod also offers the adult children and caregivers of these elders a powerful new way, using a mobile portal and AI based on data from local IOT sensors, to monitor, keep in touch with, and support their elderly loved ones without having to be there in person.Stuart is an experienced business leader who has led early/mid-stage ventures in a variety of markets including: voice or virtual assistants, mobile/online apps and services, video content, speech recognition/synthesis, identity management, telephony services, and clean-tech solutions. Key points from Stuart!The combination of voice technology with IOT devices to address the needs of the elderly aging in place in an inexpensive and easy to use way.LifepodWas invented by serial inventor, Dennis Fountaine. Dennis invented the first wireless earpieces. He developed the first prototypes of Lifepod. He also developed the first prototype of the “Lifepod caregiver portal” which allows caregivers to setup the routines that speak via Lifepod. He created it to be integrated with Alexa so that it could have the greatest impact.Stuart and his business partner bought out all the rights for Lifepod from Dennis.Lifepod uses Alexa and they are in talks with Google to incorporate Google Assistant. They did a demonstration with Samsung for their Bixby assistant.Lifepod uses voice technology to add a “virtual caregiver capability” to its service.Voice assistants use reactive voice modalities which enable them to react to what users ask them to do. Lifepod adds the concept of proactive voice which allows virtual assistants to speak to the user without being woken up and without being spoken to. Caregivers are able to schedule dialogues to speak throughout a day or week.Lifepod also invokes other skills like asking if you would like to listen to your favorite music or have Lifepod order an Uber for you.They focus more on the demographic that has been having difficulties using the reactive mode of voice assistants.The FutureThey hope to develop technology that will enable Lifepod to detect whether a user is talking so as to avoid interrupting the user’s conversation or ask to be excused before talking or asking a question.They intend to incorporate presence detection technology so that Lifepod never speaks in an empty room.Smart speaker producers are working on incorporating multi-room capability.Onboarding UsersThey preconfigure the Lifepod to make it as simple as possible to use for both the elderly users and caregivers.Caregivers are able to configure the Lifepod to meet the unique needs of each individual elderly user.Lifepod has three types of routines; wellness check-ins, social or other reminders, and other voice services (skill linking like giving the weather, or the news, etc.)A caregiver can configure wellness check-ins like, “How are you feeling?” and if the user says they’re not feeling well, Lifepod asks, “Would you like your daughter/son or professional caregiver to contact you today or by phone”They have a “capability of configurable alerts” feature within the check-ins and reminders which sends relevant text messages to caregivers’ phones.Current StageLifepod is currently in beta testing. They have 20 prototypes and will soon have 200 beta Echo clones with the Lifepod name on them and the Lifepod firmware in them.They are beta testing with individual members of the public in Boston and California. They are involving companies and institutions like Boston’s Commonwealth Care Alliance where they have almost 50 beta devices in different patients’ homes.They are also doing smaller pilots with senior living facilities and home care agencies.They have a wait list and hope to be available to the public by April 2019.For some time they might only be available through institutional partners like Commonwealth Care Alliance.What Voice First Health Means to StuartHe is always excited by the possibility that a caregiver can support and monitor their patient or parent from a distance, whether it’s a short or long distance.Links and Resources in this EpisodeLifepod WebsiteReach out to Stuart at Stuart@Lifepod.comLifepod on LinkedinDr. Teri Fisher on TwitterDr. Teri Fisher on LinkedInPlease leave a review on iTunes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Teri welcomes Dr. John Loughnane, the Chief of Clinical Innovation and the Medical Director of Life Choices Palliative Care Program at Commonwealth Care Alliance. Dr. Loughnane will talk about some of the fascinating and impactful work they are doing in the voice first health space.Key Points from Dr. John LoughnaneHow Commonwealth Care Alliance is using voice first technology to help the lives of their patients.Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA)A nonprofit community based healthcare organization that focuses on individuals with complex medical behavior health and social needs including persons with disabilities.It was one of the first dual-eligible special needs plans which provided patients with both Medicare and Medicaid which means they had both complexity of their medical issues and social determinants.The plan had a significant risk adjusted premium. Each month CCA was given a certain amount of dollars which was risk adjusted to patients’ medical complexity and some level of their term service support needs which created a capitated amount of dollars that CCA used to create care systems to better care for the most vulnerable populations.Dr. Loughnane started the Palliative Care/End-of-Life Program at CCA.He has been taking care of patients with physical disabilities. Caring for these patients presented different challenges which led Dr. Loughnane and his colleagues to start thinking about how to build a care system that met all the highlighted needs. Voice technology came up as the best solution for interacting with the patients especially those without classic functional abilities.Winter Street Ventures: The CCA’s health technology accelerator affiliateVoice Use CasesThey have a pilot program with their voice first technology partner, LifePod Solutions.They did an original grant-funded pilot program which was using voice in the typical reactive asking which taught them a lot of lessons that they then used to strategize in a more formal process to start working on a more proactive voice first technology solution.Use case one: patients, especially those with severe medical diseases, intellectual disability and physical disability want to have social connection because they really suffer from loneliness. For example, twice a day the LifePod asks a patient who loves music whether he wants to hear their favorite music. The patient says yes and gets to engage with the music. Other patients want to connect with the news or call different people which the LifePod makes so much easier and engaging.Use case two: using the voice first technology to give people reminders about healthcare issues like, “Get up and move”, “Dance”, “It’s time to take your medication”, and many others. This is patient-focused and non-judgemental. They are asking patients what they would like voice to do for them.Future ScenariosOnce they have full HIPPA compliance, the care plans can be individualized to each patient’s needs.Voice will connect patients with similar health problems by forming social groups. This will enable learning and shared experiences. It will be a way to build a voice community.Voice will continue to enable patients to control their homes, environments, schedules and have an organization component. Patients will be able to define what works for them and what works for their families.Potential shifts in where healthcare is providedWith voice first technology, hospitals will be for a very small minority of patients because the technology will allow healthcare practitioners to care for patients at home. Both primary and acute care will be delivered at home through voice.Challenges with LifePodThe wake words and how you phrase things is still a challenge, but it’s gotten better.They need to get HIPPA compliance so they can make better care plans.There needs to be an augmentation of the technology’s ability to work with voices that have physical limitations like where a patient has Parkinson’s. The sensitivities of the speakers and microphones needs to be continually worked on so the technology can benefit everyone.The ongoing ability to have multiple languages should be continually worked on.The Meaning of Voice First Health to Dr. LoughnaneIt means patients having the ability to engage with augmented care from their medical/social/behavioral health providers in a way that they’ve never been able to deliver in the past.Links and Resources in this EpisodeCommonwealth Care AllianceWinter Street VenturesDr. Teri Fisher on TwitterDr. Teri Fisher on LinkedInPlease leave a review on iTunes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eden Park has been forced to withdraw from holding the "Million Babies" LifePod Appeal concert.The Eden Park Trust announced this afternoon that due to time constraints and the prospect of substantial Environment Court costs, it has been forced to cancel the concert, planned for Waitangi Day.At the start of the week, the Trust's lawyers advised that the process to obtain a consent for the concert was likely to stretch beyond October and cost in excess of $750,000, not including The Trust's legal costs.Trustees then had a meeting and concluded that it is not viable for the stadium to continue with its application due to the likely costs and timeframe for court proceedings.The Trust hoped it could work with the minority who objected to reach an agreement for this one-off worthy event. This would have avoided the Environment Court process but unfortunately, that was not to be the case.Chief Executive Nick Sautner said, "Although we respect the process in place, to bring events like concerts to our stadium we also have to work in with promoters' lead times which include confirming the venue as well as securing ticket on-sale dates.""Unfortunately this time it was unworkable but we now look to the future to ensure this half a billion dollar asset can host unique and memorable events for the city."Plans for the Live Aid-style concert were announced by Sir Ray Avery, a former New Zealander of the Year, in the hopes of raising money in an effort to help save babies around the world.Avery wants to build enough LifePod incubators to save a million babies and the concert was the first step in raising the $4 million needed to make 2000 pods.Hundreds of people made submissions on whether the concert should be allowed to go ahead, with some local residents posting strong criticism, most notably former Prime Minister Helen Clark.The trust's application for the Million Babies event, lodged on June 6, said noise levels during the concert, between 7pm and 10.30pm on Waitangi Day, could exceed 75 decibels for about 30 houses west of Sandringham Rd and 80 decibels for another small group of houses near the northwest corner of the park.Consultation with the community included making its environmental planners, traffic, acoustic and lighting specialists available to address any concerns as well as bringing locals together through stadium tours, a 'Friday Family Fish 'n' Chips' evening and other events to inspire open conversation and share the recent independent research.LISTEN ABOVE AS ANDREW DICKENS SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON THE EDEN PARK CHARITY CONCERT BEING CANCELLED

Vi ser på den polske instruktør Andrzej Zulawski´s to film om besættelse og seksuelle mareridt. Den første er fortællingen om netop besættelse, kærlighed og seksuel psykose i den episke kult klassiker POSSESSION fra 1981 med Sam Neill og Isabelle Adjani.
