Hello, ive posted another thread about the same topic under suggestions, but it seems it was the wrong place, so ill post it in this sub-forum too, please dont see it as spaming, i think the topic deserves more attention ;)

Wouldnt it be a good idea to found a price for the first working (drexlarian) assembler, like the mmouse-price?

It's kind of funny to talk about something like that. After all, why not use it to assemble some money?

I'm not a crazy utopian futurist, but I do see that the only reason why humanity lives the way it does today is because of a lack of resources. If assemblers are created and mass produced a lack of general resources will be a thing of the past.

Misunderstanding alert!!

He's not talking about cost. He's talking PRIZE not PRICE. And there is already several prizes along these lines

Actually, there's some nanotech completely developed by scientists in the labs. Before any new invention, shouldn't those things become useful as quick as possible to make diagnosis of cancer and other diseases earlier? The selling of already available things will bring more cash back into the research labs without too much competition for a prize.

So there should be another prize; why isn't Mprize enough competition? It seems rather wrong to create more competition instead of reaping the current fruits that Mprize has already offered. For e.g., there's the SENS Foundation Research program as well as mybridge4life.com for people who received a life threatening diagnosis of their medical condition. Only when I hear the word diagnosis it makes me ill, because there's so much to improve in this field of medicine. Yet they are talking about cancer. Yet, cancer isn't always easy to diagnose, for many other illnesses the same.

Here the story of an anonymous person: when I got diagnosed with an illness which made me even more handicapped than before, it took years before the correct diagnosis. When my wife got diagnosed with some slowly progressing illness, it was more than one year too late to make her completely healthy again by surgery. Not only for me and my wife, but also for one and another elderly relative of mine who got diagnosed with some disease, they could have avoided months of pain if the diagnosis came earlier. Millions of others will share the same story with me - more often than not, a diagnosis comes not early enough.

My Bridge 4 Life and financial funding, any ideas? How about some nanotech for the creation of apparatuses for automatized diagnosis? Let's see if Bridge 4 Life will encourage medical doctors using some nanotech in ultra-small machines to apply invisible skin-probes for an automatized diagnosis of illness.

Damn, i used a C instead of a Z.

Ok, what can we do to improve diagnostics?

Health insurances make the mistake to accept that most of the medical specialists who do the diagnosis also do the healing. When a medical specialist delays the time before a correct diagnosis, the patient is getting more sick and the doctor receives more money for the healing from the health insurance. Therefore, as a rule of thumb: the more sick the patient, the richer the medical specialist.

The way to make nanotech more valuable in medical apparatuses is to produce two separate units of a medical diagnosis system. One big unit for skin sample screening will be sold exclusively to medical diagnosis specialists. The other (small, credit-card sized) unit, which collects and preserves such skin samples automatically when pressing the unit onto the skin, will be given complimentary to patients. It's easy applicable, so the patients do the collection of the skin sample themselves and bring that small unit directly (or via postal mail) to the diagnosis specialist. The diagnosis specialist only makes the diagnosis and transfers the patient to a further medical specialist who does the healing. The financial incentive to delay the diagnosis is lacking for the former medical specialist, so patients will get into the healing process quicker.

Therefore, only sell medical apparatuses for diagnostic purposes which are (by the help of nanotech) very small, useful, efficient, and cost-saving to those of the medical specialists who only earn their money from diagnostics and not from the healing afterwards.
