I'll take a startup in a box. I want Kubernetes, Elastic, Kibana, FileBeat, Prometheus, Consul, Grafana, databases, HTTP gateways, etc all set up on on the cloud (or set of servers) of my choice and a dashboard that lets me add users (e.g. like a modern Webmin/cPanel+WHM) and make minor config changes if I don't want to run these myself. I want those things HA and I want stable hostnames for them (e.g. Consul DNS on…
Edit: I'm in the computing industry. Have you heard of it?
its a $600B industry that is in decline because its traditional R&D engine is sputtering out, and big pharma has been amazingly acquisitive the last five years to replace off-patent blockbuster drugs (more IPOs and big M&A than software the last 5 years despite getting 1/5 of venture funding)
tons of really interesting new tech for startups to explore: synthetic biology, cell and gene therapy, bioelectronic medicine, many many others
A messaging/texting device with a long battery life and decent keyboard.
Inter-operable video and phone conferencing without prior setup required. Probably half the video conferences I’ve tried to participate in in the last year have been a disaater, with people having technical problems dialing in, dropping out, etc. Even phone confernces (using VOIP conference providers) have awful quality. I want to be able to email some people a link, and with no account creation, registration, or sof…
Have you tried appear.in ?
I work in health tech. Here are some problems: * Helping patients select the right doctor. Currently most people use Yelp or through referrals. The problem is that Yelp has little correlation to quality of care. It's very difficult for patients to evaluate a doctor - usually what they end up doing is evaluating the customer service aspect of the doctor (did they speak to me nicely, did they make me wait for an appoin…
What's your opinion on current healthcare startups like zocdoc or Oscar insurance? I've seen a lot of new doctor review sites popping up but like you mentioned that's only 1 problem out of many/bigger issues
I do think Zocdoc is a great idea because anything that makes scheduling an appointment easies is a win. I'm just saying that patient reviews give people a false sense of security that their doctor is good. In reality, almost no one knows if someone is good or not unless you have directly worked with that doctor and have a lot of stats on their outcomes (which only anyways works on specialities that have a lot of procedures). Assessing doctor quality is a very hard problem.
Patient reviews are good for assessing if your personalities will mesh but beyond that they don't go far.
I am not really too familiar with Oscar; what are they doing?
Our marketing department sends 10+ campaigns/week, each goes through multiple changes and compliance approval. It’s very time consuming, especially when someone needs to touch the code.
