Three decades into the evolution of the internet and the expansion of digital information technology, we face a novel rise of technologies that are not only precise but also “smart.” It is now the turn of deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to headline the next global innovation phase.

Smart technologies are altering the way we live, communicate, and work. Most are for good causes, but a few are abusive to individual autonomy by design. By considering the good and bad of smart technology, we must understand the meaning of the words.

Pinning down a meaning for something as eclectic as smart technology can be quite a strenuous task; provided that the field of intelligent technology is developing relentlessly, making other innovations outdated almost as quickly as they emerge. …

The concept of value-based reimbursement or merit-based payment towards a medical service or procedure has become healthcare policymakers’ focus for the past decade. It is supposedly meant to maintain high-quality medical assistance to patients while reducing wasteful spending. But so far, half-decade into its implementation, the concept of merit-based valuation has been an utter failure. That has not only failed to reduce the cost of the quality of service but also has placed an overwhelmingly high burden on physicians. Amidst all; the same policymakers blame doctors for not being rational when it comes to cost control. What the latter attitude means is the subject of different conversations. However, the argument conflicting, is that those who use the phrase value-based reimbursement in conjunction with the population health model also fail to realize that the latter two phenomena can hardly be eclectic unless the value is fictitious. Because value-based reimbursement is the trait of personalized healthcare as opposed to the population health model. …
