6 D's of Exponential Technology

Universal coverage, not medical technology, is the foundation of any caring health care system. Richard Lamm

Talking about " Democratization of healthcare " we need to remind ourselves of the 6 D's of exponential Technology:

1) Digitization: Once you digitise a product (like healthcare) into 1s and 0s, that product becomes infomation based tech and hips on exponential growth curve. Eg Docotal mobile app reaching worldwide.

2) Deceptive growth: Like Kodak 1st digital camera (0.01 megapixel, 0.02, 0.04 to 32MP)..same with Docotal health, our growth however expanding looks deceptive because we haven't hit the target but we are on our way slowly as Dr Laminu Kaumi said.

3) Disruptive growth: 0.01MP Kodak can now generate 20MP. That is complete dematerialization and demonetization of photography. Same thing Docotal mobile app will do in healthcare revolution.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow. Edward Teller

4) Dematerialization: Products and services become bits. Today's cell phone with a million dollars worth of tech from 1980 & 1990..eg GPS, video, photo,radio,books,maps, weather,records. Docotal will provide a mobile hospital with all medical specialties included... Wowwww!!!

5) Demonetization: Once a product is dematerialized into bits, its cost of replication and production is near zero and it leads to democratization. Docotal mobile app will make paying high consultation fees for Cardiologist, Surgeon, Neurosurgeon, Clinician or Physician almost zero with our mobile app, as cases will be treated as a whole.

6) Democratization: As products dematerialize and demonetizate, they become available to billions of users across the planet. Today 3 billions are connected on earth. By 2025, that will increase to 8 billion. Products like Docotal app (or bots) will market globally.
Healthcare is becoming part of information technology. Bill Maris

Just like Henry Ford wanted to put a car in every garage, Docotal will put a doctor in every persons pocket. A bright future awaits us, its time to dive into the wave of exponential technology.

Children and Vaccination

“So it's an absolute lie that has killed thousands of kids. Because the mothers who heard that lie, many of them didn't have their kids take either pertussis or measles vaccine, and their children are dead today. And so the people who go and engage in those anti-vaccine efforts -- you know, they, they kill children. It's a very sad thing, because these vaccines are important.” ― Bill Gates Since the advancement of medicine, medical practitioners found out there are ways you could prevent your child from suffering some terminal diseases as they grow up. They called this “Immunization or Vaccination”. Today, medical centers all over the world advise you to immunise your children so as to protect them from some certain diseases. You immunize your children through the use of vaccines, and this vaccination comes in different forms, and different age grades. Whаt аrе vaccines? Whеn germs enter thе body, thе immune system recognizes thеm аѕ foreign substances (antigens). Thе immun...
