Topic:
- How can BIG DATA and artificial intelligence transform healthcare?
- Robotics and health: what interfaces are envisaged between humans and machines?
- The decriminalization of cannabis?
Knowing that health care and the medical industry as a whole are being turned upside down by Big Data. Thanks to massive data collection and analysis, prevention, treatment, diagnosis and patient monitoring techniques are evolving at a brisk pace.
For many years, health care, research and medical discoveries have relied on data collection and analysis. Health professionals then sought to understand who gets sick, how, and why. Today, thanks to the numerous sensors of smartphones and the increase of the quantity and the quality of data, the possibilities of revolutionary discoveries are in strong growth.
Our country is ready to use smartphones and other connected devices so that data such as daily steps or heart rates are transmitted directly, impartially and objectively. As a result, the ego or the patient's opinions never enter the equation, which allows researchers to collect more data and more accurate than ever before.
Taking into account the interfaces between man and machine that are two vast and exciting fields, and which are themes very used in science-fiction works, and that have been exciting the crowds for more than a century. The imagination of science fiction has given a certain image of what we call "cyborg", as well as machines with a very advanced "intelligence", even surpassing the human being. These two domains tend to interrelate between the "mechanization" of man and the "humanization" of machines, both physically and in the "spirit". We want to regularize the most significant advances in these two fields of research, which should profoundly impact our way of life in the coming decades.
Technology and medicine progress particularly fast, and have radically changed the way of life of man. The virtual allowed him to multiply his abilities to communicate with others, with advantages (sharing of knowledge and ideas, time saving, aspiration to creativity) and disadvantages (drifts, manipulation of the masses, violation of privacy) that implies. We have also improved the quality of life of the human being through medical progress, which allows us to live longer and healthier lives. There is no harm in thinking that man could accept without too much resistance to connect from the inside to electronic devices to eventually become a cyborg.
But where are we today exactly? What are the most significant advances? And what can we imagine for the human species in the next few decades? Except in the event of a global catastrophe, it is likely that our evolution will undergo a serious acceleration "thanks" to the new technological tools.
Our country is against the spread of the use of drugs and cannabis is considered one of them. Hence it is punishable to sell or buy cannabis and the punishment or the fine depends on the amount of drug you are in possession of. The Lithuanian National Programme on Drug Control and Prevention of Drug Addiction aims at reducing the dependency of individuals on drugs through individual and public education.
The consumption of drugs in our country is punishable by a fine while possession of a big amount is a crime and is punished by imprisonment.
We believe that cannabis sale and consumption should be under government control, regulation to reduce its excessive use and decrease its illegal business and crimes related to its sale on the street.
