Maybe, it would be relatively easy to adapt it to all adults.
Vilja Goals of Care have gotten very good feedback, seldom you see both such an improvement of care and a substantial reduction of costs. Symtom support connected to this is not yet is use.
We also have a tool that helps making Goals of care decisions for home care and senior home patients, this was an add on, what to do thereafter (the not for public side contains info on urgency and treatments). But since symptoms not really vary that much for 65+, we made Oired for all seniors.
Symptom support, unbiased and pure. Taking on the toughest cases: elderly patients. Get diagnoses and suggested investigations. Powered by our own AI (not Big Tech), but we use LLM as a sidekick. Easy, no login, free to use: Oired.com

This is so true, because innovation thrives on the number of smart people exchanging ideas. Now that China’s population is highly educated, progress is accelerating. Meanwhile, Europe stagnates under excessive regulations, and the US is stuck admiring itself in the mirror and avoiding any exchange.
Opinion | I Just Saw the Future. It Was Not in America.
Beijing’s message to America: We’re not afraid of you. You aren’t who you think you are — and we aren’t who you think we are.

What if the real text below is:
”companies” => ”computers”
”capitalism” => ”the future”
If you think companies will give us a 2 day work week instead of forcing us to more than double our output over 5 days, or pay us a lot less, then you don’t understand capitalism.
A curse for the children and a blessing for the elderly?
If we can get this down to 1 hour, it would just take 3 years to build enough solar capacity to provide all the electricity the world currently uses. Or more probable 6 fold increase of current buildout (around 2030?) and it takes around 12 years. Some ⚡️-storage will also be needed😉.
In 2004, it took the world a year to add one gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day.
Highly developed: <10% below $30 (PPP)
Developed: <10% below $20
Moderately developed: <10% below $10
Slightly developed: <10% below $2.15 but >10% below $10
Underdeveloped: >10% below $2.15
Very underdeveloped: >25% below $2.15
This would redefine development as broad economic inclusion.
Its true that the poverty line has been a useful strategy and helped countries focus and decide where they/donors should invest. Hard to see $30 (PPP) as true poverty - which for me borders to starvation - but maybe we should apply a similar approach across all development stages.
For example:
With the possible exception of good hygiene, nothing has contributed more to human health than vaccines! If anything, we’ve underinvested in them relative to the results.
NIH is abruptly terminating at least 33 research grants for projects studying why some people are hesitant to receive vaccines or evaluating strategies that could encourage vaccine uptake. scim.ag/4how23i
NIH to ax grants on vaccine hesitancy, mRNA vaccines
Move reflects vaccine skepticism of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Europe should thank Germany’s debt rules, without them Germany would probably be just as in indebted as other European countries. And if this would have been true there would not be enough financial fire power for what now is need to save Europe (=create actual fire power!).
