Are you familiar with Reverse Innovation?

Reverse Innovation in Health Care: How to Make Value-Based Delivery Work I had no expectations when I began the book in terms of content but wanted to be informed of whats happening in health care. A little while into the book, I realised that I read an article by the authors in HBR on reverse innovation. But when I saw the picture of a pocket ultrasound machine, the concept of making things for less hit home, similar to Musk's question of how much should a rocket cost? I have heard of Aravinda Eye Hospital and LV Prasad Eye Institute but not of Narayana Hrudayalaya. The book goes into great detail of how the chosen hospitals in India are able to provide great service at a fraction of international cost. How can that be brought to US?

Future timeline of 2050 This is exactly what will happen after the last fish in the ocean dies My kids ask me if mermaids or unicorns are real. You can imagine the questions in 2050. Your aqua tank is a small museum.     Just like these grow 3x dinosaurs, there will be grow your own non-edible fish. 2016 -  90% used up fish stocks overfished will be even more by 2025 . In 1970s , it was around 40%. 2016 fisheries Humor Try reading this article  The truth about shark numbers . Can you imagine an Onion style parody of extinct population? A la passenger pigeon trail.
