Changing world where technology is moving so quickly and so many policies are affected whether it is self driving cars a robotics or drones or all this Amazing Software that will make effect how we learn and play. Congress has to be aware of it so they can tackle issues like privacy or other issues involving competitiveness because were in a major bat tle. Where are we with regard to 5g .

We have to make it a national priority. Sadly, legislation died in the senate. The Truck Drivers are trying to look it, but weve got to at what is best for our country. Everyone of us knows people who have died, im sure. We need to stop it. Host when it comes to some of these tech issues, is it a partisan thing or nonpartisan . Gary i think tech is very nonpartisan. Interestingly enough, the tech agenda that the trump white continuity. A theperson nominated to be chief Technology Officer of the country was endorsed by the obama administration. Technology is not really partisan. There are issues at the fringes like immigration. Self driving cars could be, it depends on your view. Americans in both parties support innovation, progress, the benefits and they want america to be first which is so important. Host are you getting the ear of congress . Gary we are. We go through some bumps like right now, there are issues with privacy with a couple of companies but generally, most of our companies are smaller businesses. Do you want to make sure that as we move forward on privacy, we dont lock out Small Companies because Big Companies can comply with almost anything but we have to allow innovation. We have to understand we are competing with china and they have no privacy, they have no freedom of religion, freedom to vote. We have to fight for our culture for the future and it is going to be a battle between europe and the u. S. And canada and other democratic countries who share our values and china, which doesnt value privacy, all our decisions we think are important. Host when you hear that facebook is too big, your thoughts . Gary we are blessed in this country to have many, many major Big Companies. Any other country of the world would die for. Being too big is not an issue. It is hurting competition. When i talk to african companies, latin america, they hear these arguments. They say facebook, google, twitter is great. This is a first world problem. They are providing things we understand what we are giving up. We have to be careful we dont shoot our most Important Companies and hurt them.

Host why colorado . Paul because colorado has an innovative vision for deployment. Not just a pilot program. We are deploying all along the i70 corridor from denver and on state highways. Host what is the screen behind us . Ton you connect vehicles communications, you have to start thinking about cybersecurity. Panasonic has developed a system to detect, prevent the attacks and also to analyze among thousands of vehicles what is happening in real time for the automakers. Host i see north america, 135 paul this is just a prototype example, but if there were attacks coming on, the Security Operations center, the automaker would be notified about the attack and it would be able to respond and provide an over the air update to prevent that. Host i saw a vehicle id come up. Is there a privacy issue with this . Paul privacy is protected by the system. It is not linked to an individual, but the vehicle. That information is already known to the automaker, so it would keep it secure. Host when you talk to members of congress about this technology, what are some of the questions . Paul congress has been asking industries to improve cybersecurity of vehicles and we think we have developed a solution that can do that in real time rather than catching afterwards. To put yournt vehicle in a shop to fix cybersecurity vulnerability. He wanted in real time over the air. Host all depending on policy . 5g .

What we do the medicare give get information from onicare or the v. A. Securely their phone. Medicare will give the medical translation in english so everything is there at your fingertips. When the doctor asks you what medication you take, it is there. Host in a sense, before we see he said it is very secure. Weve all heard about hacking large databases. How do you ensure security . Security is in the design and in the mind of whenthing we do, so yes, the data is in the cloud medicare, the v. A. , but what the application does is retrieve your own data with your own and it goes straight from medicare or the v. A. To your phone. It doesnt go through the cloud. It goes directly to your account. Then when it gets on your mobile they would have to hack millions of phones to get to you, which cannot be done. The patient, the customer, the veteran, the Medicare Beneficiary has everything in their hands at all times. Internet have an connection, it is right there and they can share it with your physician. They can in no information to where they want. Host are these Electronic Medical records . Dr. Experton the problem with Electronic Medical records is there are many other they come in different formats. When you are a medicare , they all have different medical information systems. Is gets the medical history those records from all over the place and it lets you get it. Care pays for your billing information to medicare, the medication prescribed, medicare pays for it when the medication is being picked up at the pharmacy. Information directly from your medicare account and you have everything right there on your phone. Host lets put travis to work. All therton medication, when you go to pick up to the pharmacy, there are all the details. There going to see medication. Host i will tilt this a little so we can get the glare off. There you go. Dr. Experton pick one of these medications. Medication, the doctor what pharmacys, carries the medication, the patient can look it up in the National Library of medicine to understand and you can mark it up. Host what is the cost if i wanted to get . Dr. Experton you downloaded for free and try it for 40 days. To see if you can make use for it. 9. 99 andre charged month. Host so was one more thing it can do. Dr. Experton importantly, not only does it display information, but there is intelligence behind us analytic. What we call ai. Know,ation you need to this tells the patient try to way. It doesnt wait until they have trouble with the medication or it interacts badly with another one. Everything is there. Host so when you talk to members of congress about it, what are the questions . Dr. Experton about medicare. This is lifesaving information. Medicare has approved this technology in february with 18 other useful applications which are licensed. 50 million americans in medicare that there andhis technology for them it is an application approved by medicare on the medicare website to make it more visible so everyone can see it and choose whether it will work for them. Important. Mendously problems with medication, when they interact with each other, that they know about it. Beware. Lication says host and you are a medical doctor, correct .
