Yuri van Geest, Singularity-Health-DNA
Encompassing the entire bio-neuro- nano-AI-robots realm, singularity also may play the key role in the future of health care. Mobile offers the potential to go far beyond track- ing workout plans or caloric intake. According to Yuri van Geest, ex- ponential growth of technological progress will soon go far beyond the storage of health data and into the world of medical testing.
Making the invisible visible and social. This is planned serendipity.Yuri van Geest
It is already possible to manage diabetes and test one’s blood for glucose levels (iGBStar®) through the iPhone. Imagine being able to test for HIV, Tuberculosis, and even cancer from your phone. Would the power to map at your fingertips lead to a utopian existence or restrictive, Gattaca-esque society? “We can potentially develop a DNA-based economy,” says van Geest. “The ulti- mate in personalization.”
Yuri van Geest is a passionate professional and entrepreneur on strategy, innovation, mobile internet and Singularity (bio-neuro-nano-AI-robots).
He works for Vodafone Group, Philips Global, Samsung, Nokia, MIT, Blackberry and Google within his own company called Trend8. He is co-founder of Vodafone Mobile Clicks, the largest mobile internet startup competition in the world.
He is double alumnus of the exclusive Singularity University and FutureMed2011 of NASA and Google HQ in Silicon Valley driven by Ray Kurzweil, Peter Diamandis, Daniel Kraft and Larry Page. He is co-founder of successful non-profit events like Mobile Monday Amsterdam (since 2007) and TEDx Amsterdam (since 2009).
Yuri is member of the Topteam Creative Industry (including Mobile) in the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation which will focus on driving innovation at the ecosystem level. Finally, he is actively involved in THNK, a new educational institute for creative leadership in which he is responsible for Emerging Technologies (biotech, neurotech, nanotech, AI, robots, mobile).
Recently, he is working on his biggest passion – the application of biotechnology and DNA based services on different mobile platforms like an iPhone app for mobile DNA teste for HIV, cancer and TB together with MIT and Harvard University.
