#132Every few years one of these ultrasound companies comes around and promising to revolutionize medical imaging and nothing ever comes of it. Anyone remember https://www.openwater.health ? The same ideas are in a perpetual state of being reinvented and part of me thinks its just a hustle for the MIT Media Lab/Stanford Imaging grads to give them something to do. The tell is "super resolution", "brain computer interface"…
but technology is getting better all the time what doesn't work because they only have one Tesla, well shit, let's try it with 100.
It isn't a matter of technology. It's physics and math. These things are already very well understood, just not by investors. And that creates room for the hustle.

"MRIs are actually widely available in most cities at reasonable cost" - I live in one of those first-world countries, and our citizens regularly wait many months if not over a year to get a single MRI scan. Yes, it's not just an issue of the MRI but the entire medical system, but the point still stands. Were there machines that were one or more orders of magnitude cheaper and simpler to run - I think we would see a…
Your country has decided to ration MRIs. Here in Australia, it is a one to two day wait for a MRI. Costs 240 AUD, (160 USD ) for a 1.5 Tesla MRI and AUD 400 for a 3 Tesla MRI just up the road. And if I mark the request Urgent, I can send a patient 5 minutes up the road and have it done within the hour. Are you in the UK ? I know that the UK health system has effectively collapsed, due to that country's poverty and ch…
This is in Canada. Our healthcare problems are both well known and well documented, but also strongly resistant to being solved. I do wish we had a system as efficient as what you describe. I’ve personally been on the receiving end of this nonsense. And it is actively costing lives every year. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of course.
No joke, it’s actually a lot easier to schedule an assisted suicide than it is to receive proper treatment in a large number of cases.
