Tell HN: First we take Manhattan...

1 pointsby moderniseover 12 years ago
Hello, I'm a grizzled veteran of schizophrenia. In recent years I've wondered, why is my pharmacy not automated, and also, could a 'voit-kampf' machine do better psychiatry than my doctor? I see "Kill Hollywood" is one of your priorities, and it seems like someone could profit from going after psychiatry in the mode of 'turning movies into video games.' For instance, you probably face Congress when you compete with PharmD's, although a machine operated by a psychiatrist could get through. With all the facial-emotional-tonal & speech recognition software out there, something to help doctors maintain patients could profit. The US has too few doctors. Most patients see their doctors about 60mins/year, on maintenance. Diagnosis might be another ball of wax. Another upside is in the sale of modified algorithms to Hollywood (or Redwood). It's a lot to ask to make interactive movies, but it's much less to ask doctors to require patients to talk to a 'voit-kampf' for 5 minutes of our allotted 15.
