Looking only at the statistics of heart diseases, one in every fourth deaths occurs due to heart conditions in the United States. Moreover, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds. Each minute, more than one person in the United States dies from a heart disease-related event. The European Society of Cardiology p\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.sciencedaily.com\u002Freleases\u002F2017\u002F11\u002F171128092313.htm\">ublished its study about the heart health of 45 countries\u003C\u002Fa> (European nations, some former Soviet states, North Africa and parts of the Middle East) some days ago and it turned out that heart disease accounts for over 50 percent of all deaths in many middle-income European countries, compared with less than 30 percent in the high-income countries of Western Europe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, overworking, stress and no sports mean a jackpot combination for heart disease in 20-30 years. The WHO says that tobacco smoking increases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease 2–3 folds. While physical inactivity and eating unhealthy food mean the two other main risk factors for serious heart conditions. I know that it’s not easy to live a healthy and active life – there are too many temptations coming in the form of ice-cream cakes or watching reality TV shows in our comfortable armchairs. However, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fwhy-dont-you-use-technologies-to-live-healthier\u002F\">digital health can help\u003C\u002Fa>. There are more and more fitness wearables, health sensors and trackers on the market to support lifestyle and health through gathering data about health parameters and vital signs. Skeeper aims to line up next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdigital-health-heart-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skeeper Review\" class=\"wp-image-16784\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdigital-health-heart-1.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdigital-health-heart-1-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdigital-health-heart-1-512x363.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdigital-health-heart-1-353x250.jpg 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Listen to your heart carefully!\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A South Korean company, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ismartsound.com\u002Flang\u002Fen\u002Findex.html\">Smartsound Corporation\u003C\u002Fa> developed Skeeper, a pocket cardiologist for keeping an eye on your heart health at home, at your workplace – or wherever you are. It is able to manage your health condition via auscultation. The small, colorful gadget listens to your heartbeat with the level of accuracy of a stethoscope, analyses beats per minute (bpm) and heartbeat consistency. The latter helps its user manage inconsistent heart rate (arrhythmia) – or it could also tell whether you have a panic attack instead of having problems with your heart. It promises to tell your own heart age and to offer personalized health information, such as a stress diagnosis, the level of alcohol or caffeine sensitivity and based on your personal results, it promises to recommend you exercises and whether or not you should drink coffee or a glass of red wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fskeeper_colors-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skeeper Review\" class=\"wp-image-16791\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fskeeper_colors-1.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fskeeper_colors-1-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fskeeper_colors-1-512x291.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fskeeper_colors-1-440x250.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Skeeper can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth, and if you download the free app both for Android and iOS, you can see the results of the heart auscultation on your screen in seconds. The small gadget also has a special feature for pregnant women: they could listen to their fetuses’ heartbeat with their help. Moreover, future mothers could receive their own personalized health recommendation, listen to their own heartbeat and play some lullabies to their yet unborn babies with Skeeper. Unfortunately, I couldn’t test the function for pregnant women, but let’s see how I found the pocket cardiologist in general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\u003Ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SKEEPER HEART\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002FHARc5iGU0n8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>My Skeeper experience: what is heart age?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Both the bacterium-shaped, soft and toy-like device and the app is user-friendly and clean-cut. The app visualizes the results of Skeeper’s measurements nicely and unambiguously providing a detailed history of the assessments. I could measure my heartbeat and heart rate regularity. Smartsound said on their website that they do not use ultra-sonic sounds created by electronic devices, but they collect clear heartbeat sounds through their strong microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>After every auscultation session, the gadget also sends data to the app about the heart age. Honestly, I have no idea what that means, how it is measured and what a user can do with it. I found no clinical, medical or any other scientific explanation for measuring heart age on Skeeper’s website – thus it would be great if the company could provide this information in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-23-256x512.png\" alt=\"Skeeper Review\" class=\"wp-image-16785\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-23-256x512.png 256w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-23-125x250.png 125w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-23-768x1536.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-23.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-41-256x512.png\" alt=\"Skeeper Review\" class=\"wp-image-16786\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-41-256x512.png 256w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-41-125x250.png 125w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-41-768x1536.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fscreenshot_2017-11-05-15-25-41.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>                         \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>After I had my coffee, Skeeper told me to never drink again \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Regarding the information about caffeine sensitivity, when I measured my heart health after I had a cup of coffee, it sent me the message not to drink any coffee in the future. Regarding fitness advice, when I used my pink gadget right after I finished working out, Skeeper told me that I should exercise more. Here, I have to note that I have a 30-minute-long training session on average every day. All-in-all, I’m not quite sure about the accuracy or usefulness of Skeeper’s health information and advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, since I could not compare the beat per minute, heart rate regularity or any other heart data to another device’s measurements as this is a unique device on the market, I accept that it gives you the result of its own measurement, but I cannot say anything about the quality.

Can you imagine that the first „electrocardiogram”, as a matter of fact, a kind of string galvanometer with very high sensitivity built by Dutch physician, Willem Einthoven, was 600 pounds heavy and five people had to be in place to conduct the examination? Later, Frank Sanborn’s company produced the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fecglibrary.com\u002Fecghist.html\">first portable version of the electrocardiogram\u003C\u002Fa> in 1928.

There was even a miniaturization of the various versions of Alivecor devices! For example, the first version of their FDA-approved, medical-grade ECG recorder only works on the iPhone 5; the next generation was already thinner and more sophisticated.

The latter affects more than 300,000 people in the Scandinavian country. The \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coalalife.com\u002Fenglish\u002F\">researchers of Coala Heart Monitor think\u003C\u002Fa> that the biggest problem is that many people do not know that they have a heart disease. If proper treatment is not provided, the risk of dying prematurely is twice as high. A person with AFIB runs five times the risk of suffering a stroke and three times the risk of heart failure. In addition, the risk increases with age. One in four people over 40 is at risk of suffering from AFIB.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That’s why Swedish entrepreneurs and physicians initiated research in 2004 to develop wireless systems for digital monitoring and diagnosing of the heart. The first generation of Coala was born three years later in collaboration with the Karolinska Hospital and Lund Universities. \u003Cspan class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1496895368\">\u003Cspan class=\"aQJ\">Ten years later\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>, after four generations of sensors, lots of algorithms and a portfolio of IP, the eager team founded Coala Life to industrialize and commercialize the innovations. Currently, their technology is CEE-approved, while the FDA-approval is pending. It is available primarily in Sweden, but providers could license the system Europe-wide.

The latter is intended for caregivers to perform multi-patient arrhythmia assessments and smart digital remote monitoring, it’s simply digital telemedicine 2.0.The basic device itself is the combination of a digital stethoscope and a high-performance ECG monitor. The small, neatly designed gadget has three sensors: one for chest and two for thumb ECG recordings – in order to make the results more accurate. So, you simply hold the Coala for 30 seconds on your chest, followed by using your thumbs for 30 seconds. And voilá: in one minute you’ll get analyses and screenings for 10 different cardiac pathologies. This includes AFIB, PVC, PAC, AV block II etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The user is able to monitor the results nearly real time in the Coala App. The medical device connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth, while data is stored in the cloud and provides easy access for caregivers through the Coala Care portal. Moreover, users have the chance to help scientists develop new drugs or treatments for heart disease if they share data with researchers in the Coala Atlas, a global database. Of course, opt-out is possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>And where does the name come from? Coalas are the only terrestrial mammals that have two sets of vocal cords. By this, and despite their small size, they can create mating calls with a pitch as low as 20 Hz. The pitch is equivalent to the size and sounds of elephants, as well as the sounds of the human heart. The Coala Heart Monitor has unique dual sensors with the ability to pick up very low-frequency heart sounds, and as the Coala, it has capabilities of at least 20x bigger than its size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"637\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-heart-monitor.jpg\" alt=\"Coala Heart Monitor Review\" class=\"wp-image-17194\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-heart-monitor.jpg 637w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-heart-monitor-375x512.jpg 375w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-heart-monitor-183x250.jpg 183w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-heart-monitor-768x1050.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>My experience with Coala\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The explanatory letter that I received in the Coala App was in Swedish, which made me confused what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it is really patient-friendly and it was very easy to carry out the measurement.

For example, how to improve your heart health? What to eat or what sports activity to do? How often should you repeat the measurement? So something similar to what \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zensorium.com\u002Ftinke\u002F\">Tinke\u003C\u002Fa> does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-04-42-256x512.png\" alt=\"Coala Heart Monitor Review\" class=\"wp-image-17196\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-04-42-256x512.png 256w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-04-42-125x250.png 125w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-04-42-768x1536.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-04-42.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-16-256x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17197\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-16-256x512.png 256w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-16-125x250.png 125w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-16-768x1536.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-16.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Coala App measurement report is too simple, and I only stumbled upon the pdf report by chance. I was glad I finally found it, though, because it is highly professional, I would not think twice before sending it to a cardiologist. I can confidently say that the Coala gives the most detailed analysis on the market, but I only see that in the pdf report, which is a hindrance. It would be great to access this evaluation easier in the Coala App as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On a more technical level, the Coala Heart Monitor comes with a bracket and a micro USB cable for charging. The device functions seamlessly for a couple of days and indicates in percentages where the battery level stands. While this information is invaluable, it is a bit of a hassle to have a separate bracket for charging, as you also have to bring that with you wherever you go. In case of other medical devices,  you usually put the charging cable in the device\u002Fsensor itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-33.png\" alt=\"Coala Heart Monitor Review\" class=\"wp-image-17198\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-33.png 435w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-33-256x512.png 256w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-33-125x250.png 125w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fscreenshot_2018-02-02-10-10-33-768x1536.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>They sell the consumer version similar to models used in the mobile phone industry. Either you buy the Coala upfront fully packaged with all-inclusive unlimited use for 12 months (approx 199 Euros); on a 12 month plan including the device and unlimited use (from approx 20 Euros per month), or upfront payment of Coala (approx 150 Euros) and with a monthly subscription (from 5 Euros per month).

It’s a patient-friendly, easy-to-use and accurate heart monitor combining a digital stethoscope and an ECG recorder offering very detailed measurement results. I would buy one for my parents or grandparents for long-term use, but I would not use it every day myself, mainly, because it does not offer additional tips and practices how to improve heart health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons.png\" alt=\"Coala Heart Monitor Review\" class=\"wp-image-17202\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons.png 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons-768x768.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons-150x150.png 150w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons-512x512.png 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F02\u002Fcoala-review_pros-cons-250x250.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #eee; border-top: 4px solid #444;\" cellpadding=\"10px\">\n\u003Ctbody>\n\u003Ctr>\n\u003Ctd style=\"width: 100%;\">\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>At The Medical Futurist, we are building a community for making a bold vision about the future of healthcare reality today.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fembed\u002FFIbMejImnxs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">\u003C\u002Fiframe>\n\u003Cp>If you’d like to support this mission, we invite you to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002Fthemedicalfuturist\">join The Medical Futurist Patreon Community\u003C\u002Fa>.
