Enabling the Possible Today
Chris Sullivan, US National Director, Providers, Microsoft
Chris showed this video, which I hadn’t seen in this form before:
Productivity Future Vision
Pretty cool. I sort of reminds me of the Popular Science magazines I used to love as a kid that featured visionaries’ ideas of what the future might look like (flying cars, planes that fly above the atmosphere, etc.)
Like any vision that looks far into the future, it should be taken with a grain of salt, but Microsoft does have some real evidence to support their vision. Some of that evidence is presented here.
Bing: A “Health Solution”?
Chris showed a slide that listed 4 “Microsoft Health Solutions”:
- Amalga (HIS)
- Amalga
- HealthVault
- bing
He didn’t explain how a search engine is a “health solution”, but it’s probably related to the consumer healthcare content that’s available when you search for, say, “influenza”:
On the right side of the screenshot above, you’ll find the bing search results, much like you’d expect from Google. On the left side is a list of links that will take you to articles, symptoms, etc., that have apparently been collected/acquired by Microsoft and hosted within the bing infrastructure.
Oh, and check this out:
Take that, Nintendo!
