The Optus Breach Has Revealed A Comatose Government Stewardship Of Ordinary Citizen ’s Personal Data Privacy!
There is going to have to be a major rethink of all our laws surrounding personal data privacy ….Out of the Optus breach we have learnt there is little or no control on the amount and scope of data that can be held on each of us and for how long it can be kept – let alone how we can get to see what is held.That all needs to be clarified, codified, consulted, agreed and legislated.As a typical piece of nonsense who knew all this regarding politicians who I would not trust to hold my bus ticket?Big parties are watching you – and your dataPETER VAN ONSELEN12:00AM October 1, 2022Both major parties are pouring scorn on Op...

Having a Bad Day? Here Are 21 Things You Can Do to Turn It Around
“To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some days are great, better than you would have expected when you rolled out of the bed in the morning.
Quite a few days are just good and OK days.
And then we have the other ones. The days that just wind up being bad.
What do you do then? I used to let them drag me down and I often wound up having not just one but a couple of bad days because of whatever happened.
Nowadays I do things a bit differently. And this week I'd like to s...

The following is a guest article by Chiranjib Gupta, Chief Risk Officer at PayZen.
We are witnessing a healthcare affordability crisis in America.

Closing the Gender Health Gap: How Digital Technology Can Support Better Women ’s Health
The following is a guest article by Juliet Bauer, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer at Livi
I’m often asked where I believe digital technology can make the biggest impact in healthcare. My answer? Women’s health. Today, women spend around a quarter of their lives in poor health or disability, compared with one fifth for men. In a health system that has historically been geared towards men, a gender health gap persists where you are more likely to receive poorer medical advice and diagnosis if you are a woman.
When I look at that gap, I see a key space for digital healthcare in helping us overcome many of the obstacles...

GIS Data Sharing – A Model for Healthcare Data Interoperability?
For more than a decade, healthcare has struggled with sharing data. We have not achieved data interoperability despite an abundance of technology, standards, and legislation. As an industry, we often point at the banking industry as a model to aspire to, but perhaps a better exemplar is the GIS community. They share their data using open standards and common platforms because they share a common goal – to make the world a better place.
Healthcare Data Interoperability
Data in healthcare is siloed. The Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) that have been deployed over the past 15 years do a good job at capturing hea...

How to Win Against Your Favorite Distractions
What can you do when you realize that you’ve been wasting a lot of time succumbing to distractions, like endless social media or consumption-based activities, and it’s making you feel empty, hollow, disappointed, or even ashamed of yourself? How can you reboot and get your life (and your character development) back on track?
A key here is to raise your awareness of how this behavior pattern is punishing you and what you’re missing out on. And that’s the truth – you’re missing out on tons that life has to offer when you stick with the low-hanging fruit of repetitive but unfulfilling action...
