Google’s Health-First Drug, Gantriada
The man behind the company who helped create the global best-selling drug, has had a turbulent recent few years.
Headline: It’s no secret that Dr. David Himmelstein has a fiery temper, one that may have fueled the downfall of his career.
Headline: The company that made the world’s most potent sedative in the 1950s, has been sold to Pfizer for $2.5 billion.
Headline: One of America’s most famous scientists, Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, was found dead at age 86 and it is believed to be the result of a heart attack.
In late October, Google had just put out a press release regarding the unveiling of a new “health-first” drug, Gantriada, designed to treat type 2 diabetes. It was the first drug in a slew of new diabetes and weight-loss drugs to hit the market this year.
We already knew about the substance, and there are already some positive clinical results on the way to show for it. But what’s so new? And why should people keep on taking it? We’ve already had diabetes on the brain for some time. As Google noted, “This is the first drug in a new class of diabetes blood-sugar-lowering drugs.
The Novartis-Bodson partnership makes it seem as if the Google-Bodson partnership has a lot in common. Google is focusing on a “new diabetes drug” that is promising to treat type 2 diabetes. So are they using Google’s search engine as a way of trying to persuade people to buy Novartis’s product? Or will Google think in the opposite way and suggest that those who already take Gantriada might be better off trying it rather than Novartis’ product? It would be a surprising turn of events for Google to take, and it would certainly be a very interesting development in Google’s long history in using tech to influence the thinking of its users.
Google’s “Health-first” initiative is probably one of the most famous, but certainly one of its least understood efforts. It has certainly influenced a huge number of people, with both positive and negative results.
After Google published a press release in late October about the debut of Novartis’s Gantriada pill, the company received a great deal of scrutiny. While the pharmaceutical company did not want people to know about the new weight-loss drug, the press release was nonetheless seen as provocative. The launch was seen as a “travesty,” and, in some quarters, as an irresponsible promotion by a Silicon Valley startup.
Bertrand Bodson was appointed chief digital officer of Novartis.
In a recent article entitled ‘The Secret Life of Digital Innovation’ written by the digital innovation pioneer, Bertrand Bodson, Professor of Business Marketing at Imperial College London, we learn that ‘there is a secret to the success of digital innovation’. This hidden force is the creative energy of the user, the social forces within the marketplace and the collective effort of all stakeholders as a result of a shared understanding that innovation is not something that happens in isolation but rather is a collective effort.
We are in a ‘digital renaissance’ as the world’s information systems are moving away from the rigid, siloed and isolated forms of innovation at the heart of the industrial revolution to more agile, collaborative and open innovation that are moving ever further and further towards the convergence of all information systems.
Now is the time to join the new digital renaissance and embrace the creativity and potential of the digital realm. No more isolation and no more siloed information systems. We need to engage with our consumers, our customers, our employees, our customers, our colleagues and our society, and embrace the benefits of this new way of living.
The digital renaissance will not happen through the ‘digital divide’ between rich and poor countries. It will not come as a result of technology being too expensive to buy and use for everyone in society. It will come from the strength and power of creativity and the power of entrepreneurship in the digital realm and the impact it will have on the world we live in.
The digital renaissance we are about to live through will be an innovation in society that will improve the lives of everyone, especially the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.
A digital renaissance will not happen through a technocratic revolution where governments control the use of technology. It will not happen through government interventions that make technology cheaper for everyone to use but rather, a society and economy that is driven by entrepreneurship and creativity in its digital realm.
A digital renaissance will not happen through some kind of ‘digital apartheid’ – the physical and digital separation of the rich and poor.

The role of digital in reimagining medicine.
Healy et al.
This work was supported by the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health under award number UG2HD55135.
We propose that the integration of computer technologies into medical practice could enable us to ‘reimagine medicine. ’ In particular, we propose the use of digital technologies in medicine to support patient-physician communication, and thus improve health outcomes for all involved. To achieve this, we suggest the use of a Web-based platform in which patient-physician interactive communication takes place over the Web using Internet browsers at a patient portal. Unlike other existing Web-based platforms, patient portals would enable more direct communication between patients and their physicians. We examine several potential uses for patient portals and show how their integration in medical practice could enhance patient-physician interaction and thus improve health outcomes for all.
Today, there are more than 7 billion people on the internet, with nearly 1. 2 billion mobile internet users and half of all internet users in developing countries. The expansion of use of the internet will generate a huge volume of data (2 billion gigabytes of data created annually, with 200 million new items created between 2011 and 2014) [1]. The quantity of data is growing more rapidly than data storage capacity (3. 5% per month for data generated in 2014 compared to 3% per month for 2003) [2]. Additionally, the volume of data created will be greatly increased by the rapid growth of social media and new platforms such as Amazon’s Marketplace [3] and eBay,[4] that enable data producers to sell their data to others and enable their data to be used in machine learning [5,6]. This will result in exponential growth of the amount of data that is generated online. The current generation of large-scale digital data is expected to surpass data storage capacity by 2020 [2]. As it will be impractical to store all information in the same machine, we may need to create new models for organizing data.
In this context, we propose the use of a Web-based platform in which patients and their physicians communicate through web browsers and the use of online data storage to provide access to such data for physicians.
Tips of the Day in Computer Games
Tetris is a popular game among students these days. It is a very fast-paced game which can be played by almost everyone. It is a great stress reliever and has a great appeal to it. In this article, we’ll be looking into ways to play tetris.
Tetris is an arcade game that was released in 1982 and has a variety of variations. It contains many types of blocks which are randomly chosen to be placed on a flat surface. You can then use the blocks in order to create a pattern, which can then be rearranged to form the best possible formation. These blocks are represented in the game by squares with different colors which are represented by symbols. The squares are then moved one at a time until all the squares on the surface are complete. The goal of the player is to form a complete square by moving all of the squares to one side. Each side represents a different number of squares.
Tetris has many fun elements like the squares, the blocks and the player. It sounds straightforward but there are many strategies to play the game.
