The Low-Coste Innovation Blog welcomes YOU
After low-cost airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet ...) comes "low-Coste"... information. Welcome to this modest blog I started in 2005. Some of my readers have recently christened this long-lasting, clumsy attempt at e-writing of mine "THE LOW-COSTE INNOVATION BLOG".
Jean-Michel Billaut, famous French @nthropologist and Net economy geek : "There are times when I think there are basically two kinds of people in my country ... A '1.0' Top-Management, frantically clinging to and stuck in the past and in (bio)conservatism... and a '2.0' startup ecosystem... building... building slowly... towards the future..."
Catherine Coste, Marketing Assistant, Writer and Story Artist (movies, musicals), a Tim Burton fan (whose films are dealing with death, like this modest Blog - and sometimes we just hate it!), a Wellywood fan (the new Hollywood?)... I come from France (hopefully from that "2.0" part thing) and travel a lot: New-Zealand, Asia (Malaysia, Singapore), UK...
A death and health geek and travel buff of some kind, I love meeting new faces. People around me say I'm all about creativity and marketing, new ideas and sustainable everything.
My favorite book for 2013, year of the water snake? "Damn Good Advice (for people with talent!)" by George Lois. My family lives in Malaysia (plenty of opportunities for me to improve my Mandarin Chinese!), in NY and in Germany (I'm a German native speaker)...
James Cameron plans to start shooting the Avatar sequels (and prequel) in 2013 in NZ! How fantastic is that??

Envisioning a new way for doctors to learn from one another...
A Toronto-based intensive care physician by trade, Landy is the co-founder of Figure 1, a "crowdsourced photo sharing app for health care professionals.
"... a 'crowdsourced photo sharing app for health
care professionals.' Launched just two weeks ago, the iPhone app is
already populated with images both clinically significant and arguably
beautiful -- without even the benefit of a filter. (...) Once uploaded to the app, the images become public content (stringent
privacy guidelines ensure that any potential patient identifiers are
edited out). Landy envisions a sort of Wikipedia of medical images, 'a
curated free-access almanac of features of medicine' that anyone can
contribute to, edit, or learn from. While the company isn't disclosing
any numbers yet, Landy said usership is already 'well into the
thousands.'" (Source).
"HARD knocks to the head are a constant concern in contact sports — and
not just in football or boxing, where recent attention has focused.
Millions of girls and boys play hockey, soccer, lacrosse and other
sports where blows to the head from collisions and falls are part of the
game, even in youth leagues and on high school teams. (...)
A crop of new lightweight devices that athletes can wear on the field
may help people on sidelines keep better track of hits to players’ heads
during games and practice sessions. The devices, packed with sensors
and microprocessors, register a blow to a player’s skull and immediately
signal the news by blinking brightly, or by sending a wireless alert.
Athletes can wear the devices pressed tightly to their heads, held in
place by a headband within a beanie, for example, or even by an adhesive
patch and Velcro.
Many of the systems are in research and development, but a few products
are coming to the market this summer, including the CheckLight, a
washable beanie created jointly by MC10 and Reebok." (Source)
"Vous
êtes-vous déjà demandé à quoi pourrait ressembler l’avenir, disons dans
1000 ans ? C’est le défi lancé par l’écrivain Bernard Werber, avec
Intel. L’idée est de partager votre vision avec un texte d’une
cinquantaine de lignes. Vous avez jusqu’au 14 juillet pour l’envoyer, un
jury désignera le vainqueur qui recevra un Ultrabook des mains de
l’auteur des Fourmis !!"
This morning we did a bit of this musical-singing-rehearsal-thing, choosing "Smash the Musical" and... omigod I was such a disgrace... Smash or... flop? Well I for one know the answer... Really hope I'll do better next time...
Now that girl was a bit of a Marilyn... She is the Marilyn of the sick people, and of those who, for some reason, gave their heart to sick people... A Queen of Beauty in Canada, "Eva Markvoort (March 31, 1984 – March 27, 2010) was a young woman from New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada who died from cystic fibrosis at the age of 25. She blogged about her life, family and experiences, including undergoing a lung transplant and her subsequent transplant rejection, in her blog '65_Redroses,' which is also the name of a documentary film about her, 65 Redroses.
Eva's online identity is based on Canadian cystic fibrosis community lore that '65 roses' is a malapropism among children with the disease for 'cystic fibrosis'. Eva added 'red' because it was her favourite colour.
Despite early success following her double lung transplant in 2007, Markvoort died on March 27, 2010 at Vancouver General Hospital after a long battle with transplant rejection,
while awaiting a second lung transplant. Shortly before her death, the
25-year-old theatre student received her degree from the University of Victoria at her hospital bedside.
On March 25, Markvoort wrote the last post on her blog:
I am not managing, not managing at all. I'm
drowning in the medications. I can't breathe. Every hour. Once an hour. I
can't breathe. Something has to change.
Markvoort had recorded an emotional farewell video on February 11,
saying she likely had only days to live. These last spoken words to her
web community drew more than 150,000 views in less than 24 hours. In
addition to her degree, she also received the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Doug Summerhayes award for outstanding commitment to the cause. She was also a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal.
On April 30, 2010, Markvoort's family held a memorial service that
was attended and watched by thousands of people, around the world.
The celebration was streamed live to Eva's blog for her followers who
could not attend in person. A version has been edited by Justin
Cousineau and posted on Eva's blog, which continues to be updated by her
family."
A Marilyn on medication, who loved life and knew how to live... and loved people and "the world at large"...
This is for you, Eva... I can't sing to save my life, but I'm pretty sure if you can hear... this, well you're gonna laugh... We miss YOU, Miss Marilyn...
"A chance email between a London journalist and an Iraqi university lecturer
sparks an unusual relationship. Bee Rowlatt lives an ordinary life in north
London, while May Witwit clings on to survival in Baghdad. But from an
improbable start, an email friendship blossoms into a fascinating portrayal
of post-invasion Iraq." (Source)

Encore mieux que ce blog (en veille Europe, qui m'endort) !
In March 2005, I've initiated a blog on bioethics. Organ replacement technologies and genomics are part of today's sustainable health economics. This is not medicine under ideological pressure ! ...
En mars 2005 j'ai initié un blog sur la bioéthique. A l'heure où les biotechs, la génomique, les imprimantes d'organes 3D, le coeur artificiel font parler d'eux, les personnels de santé et les "santoyens" ont un rôle à jouer pour diffuser l'innovation et réfléchir ensemble à une "nouvelle donne en santé", sans pressions idéologiques.
Visitez la librairie du Blog : vous êtes professionnels de la santé, acteurs des transplantations, patients en attente de greffe, grand public, biotech, politique ... Cette sélection est pour vous !
