The Future of Medicine Isn’t Human or Artificial Intelligence. It’s Both.

Healthcare is often presented with a false choice. Human medicine or artificial intelligence. Doctors or algorithms. Technology or personal care. I do not think the future will look like that. The more interesting future is one where technology becomes extraordinarily capable of analysing information while healthcare professionals remain responsible for understanding the person behind it. […]

Healthcare Was Built to Treat Sick People. What Happens When Technology Lets Us Act Earlier?

Modern healthcare is extraordinarily good at responding when something goes wrong. Emergency departments save lives. Surgeons repair injuries. Medicines control disease. Hospitals manage incredibly complex conditions. Australia’s public healthcare system provides access to care on a scale previous generations could barely have imagined. But the system also faces a difficult structural question. How much of […]

The Next Medical Revolution Will Be Built on Data, AI and Earlier Intervention

For much of modern medicine, healthcare has been organised around a relatively simple sequence. Something goes wrong. Symptoms appear. A patient seeks help. A clinician investigates. Treatment begins. That model has saved countless lives and will always remain essential. But technology is beginning to create another possibility: understanding meaningful changes earlier. The next medical revolution…

The AI Experiment Is Over. Businesses Now Need to Prove the Value

The AI Experiment Is Over. Businesses Now Need to Prove the Value For the last few years, almost every business conversation about technology eventually arrived at artificial intelligence. Companies experimented. Teams subscribed to tools. Chatbots appeared. AI strategies were announced. Pilots were launched. That period was probably necessary. But I think we’re entering a much […]

Does Healthcare Invest Enough in Keeping People Healthy?

Does Healthcare Invest Enough in Keeping People Healthy? Modern medicine is extraordinary. Conditions that once had few effective treatments can now be managed successfully.

Some of the World’s Most Important Ideas Are Difficult to Own

Some of the World’s Most Important Ideas Are Difficult to Own We live in an economy built around ownership. A company invents something. It patents the technology. It sells a product. The business grows. That model has created extraordinary innovation. But I’ve been wondering about the ideas that don’t fit particularly well into it. What […]

What Happens When the Best Solution Isn’t the Most Profitable One?

What Happens When the Best Solution Isn’t the Most Profitable One? I’ve been thinking about incentives lately. Not just in healthcare, but across science, technology and business. We tend to assume that if something is genuinely useful, eventually somebody will develop it. If a treatment improves health, researchers will study it. If a technology reduces […]

AI Is Becoming Cheap. Knowing What to Build Isn’t.

AI Is Becoming Cheap. Knowing What to Build Isn’t. A few years ago, simply saying that a product used artificial intelligence could get people interested. That period is disappearing quickly. AI is becoming available everywhere. Businesses can access increasingly capable models without spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing the underlying technology themselves. That’s going […]

Your Health Deserves the Same Technology You Expect From Your Bank

People can now transfer money, apply for finance, book flights and manage important documents from a mobile phone. Yet accessing healthcare can still involve long waits, repeated paperwork, inconvenient appointments and disconnected information. Healthcare is undoubtedly more complex than banking, and it should never be reduced to a simple transaction. However, patients are right to […]

From an Idea to International Recognition: The Launch of IQ Pitch

One of the most rewarding moments in building technology isn’t writing the first line of code. It isn’t designing the first interface. And it certainly isn’t launching the website. It’s seeing an idea you’ve spent months developing begin reaching people around the world. This week marked one of those milestones. After months of planning, development, […]

Short-Term Noise Vs Long-Term Trends

PART 2: SHORT-TERM NOISE VS LONG-TERM TRENDS Markets have always contained noise. What has changed is its intensity. Short-term movements are now amplified by technology, liquidity flows, and sentiment-driven behaviour. Daily price action often reflects positioning, momentum, or reaction rather than underlying value. This creates a gap between what markets do and what markets represent. […]
