In the US, it would be unthinkable for a hospital to send patient data to something like ChatGPT or any other public services.
Might be possible with some certain specific regions/environments of Azure tho, because iirc they have a few that support government confidentiality type of stuff, and some that tout HIPAA compliance as well. Not sure about details of those though.
Complete opposite of Finland where everything from schools meeting/document systems(office/teams) to healthcare data silos(azure datalakes) is on Microsoft
yes, came across xdrip+ when looking for an android app I could use for Libre 2. I don't think Dexcoms are sold in Kenya, and even the Libres around are UK ones so you need 1) a VPN to setup, 2) an iphone. Both things being a challenge for most - I had to buy a my first ever iphone for this. Anyway, found xdrip a bit of a challenge to setup and a bit too technical to suggest to others; needs sideload and manually disabling a lot of Android defaults.
I had a lot of success with Juggluco[1] which is available on the Play Store and provides easy to use APIs to interact with supported CGM readings. Juggluco has an inbuilt xdrip web server but I haven't tried it yet.
* for each medium to large University, there will usually be at least one person, if not an entire org of people that will guide you through the process, manage comms with the bank and help you to frame the business plan. These institutions (what I referred to as an "accelerator" in my OP) are publicly funded. You do not pay them.
* prepare your business plan (milestones, market research, financial plan) - at this point you can also utilize other financial support (e.g. matched funds for market research)
* you nominate a "mentor" - this is meant to be an independent expert that will serve as an informal advisor and secondary contact for the bank. There's no liability involved, and usually this is an industry expert, or professor, etc.
* bank accepts the business plan and starts payments
* during the scholarship, the bank will keep in touch with you and the mentor to check in on your business plan milestones. This is mostly an anti-fraud check.
It's important to realize there's an alignment of incentives here:
* you want to start a company and get financial support
* the accelerator advanced its mission (get more startups going)
* the bank advances its mission (create more value in the local region)
* the business plan and milestones unlock ultra-low-interest follow-up financing if you need it, since the bank has already been involved for 18 months and knows the potential/liabilities of your business
This all sounds like a lot, but I've seen founders go through the entire process in just a few weeks of planning. And much of the work, like business planning, is what you need to do anyway.
So KFW (state investment bank?) has a thing called StartGeld (startup loan). I've wondered about few practicalities
1) What sort of collateral does bank expect from you?
2) Can you really get 125ke or more like 10-20ke?
3) Interest rate is a single digit number?
4) Can you really get 10 year payback periods?
Reason why I'm asking is that in Finland(where I live) these startgeld terms seem like a dream come true for entrepreneur. To give you an example;
1) Tradiotional bank wants collateral for the loan. For a 5k€ loan, 5k€ in deposits are needed.
2) There a lots of Swedish/Norwegian "loan-houses" advertising their services for companies, with interest rates are somewhere between 23-30% per annum.
Yup, on iOS it's missing Beatsource, on Android it's missing both Beatport and Beatsource. Whether Android version will support Apple Music remains to be seen.
