Looks like Apple continues to reinforce their position as the privacy conscious choice among technology vendors, for those consumers seeking it. Very interesting to see this play out - I believe there’s more room for startups & businesses to emerge and tap into this market, especially as the newer generations who are tech natives and are more familiar with the inner workings of the ad driven businesses / data mining. As they grow older, they will see more options for themselves to distance from the data mining vendors.

Highly recommended read on the application of deep learning to the dermatology arena, that a research team at Google has pursued. This is what I believe to be the promise next generation of health tech start-ups and emerging companies - where curation can be sourced globally.

The interesting bit is that a new Netflix original series, “Diagnosis” has come out about the same time (this month, Sept 2019) and covers specific stories where crowdsourcing has led to positive next steps for patients and their families.

An area worth exploring further.
