Those are the headlines with tony harris in new york. Real money with ali velshi is up next on al jazeera america. The doctor is i in your pock. How smart phones are helping doctors diagnose patients. And high tech education, a computer lab bi small enough tot in a backpack. And you one day might live in space. Im David Shuster in for ali velshi, and this is real money. This is real money, and you are the most important part of the show. Join our live conversation on the next on twitter, facebook. For the next half hour were going to showcase entrepreneurs and innovators who are trying to make an impact on middle class families. Engineers believe better healthcare lies with something that is in your pocket right now, a smart phone. A diagnosis of an ear infection could be using your phone as a mobile m. D. Reporter this is an scope attached to his iphone. This is what he uses to look in your easier. Now you have my eardrums. Reporter douglas predicts there will be a day when parents will send videos like this to their doctor for diagnoses. Were taking the most common tool and turning it into a medical tool to meet important needs. Reporter doctors engineers and entrepreneurs gather to show off the latest prototypes aimed at Monitoring Health and keeping people out of the doctors office. Like this facebook for patients that takes pictures over time of a wound that is healing so a doctor can monitor progress from afar. It creates efficiency through having the ability to reduce followup visits. Reporter even a sonogram that connects to your iphone or ipad. They can freeze it. Reporter these types of home diagnoses devices will grow the industry into a billion dollar industry in just five years. Weve seen growth rates between 35 to 50 and in some cases 75 to 100 . Reporter its a promising sector of healthcare but dont expect to see them in stores immediately. Clearance from the fda takes time, but the biggest obstacle will be to get doctors to agree to use these items in their practice. Some say theyre going to go to the hospital any way, and those who have experience theyre putting a lot of effort being an ambassador for it. Reporter one ambassador, a medical student at Johns Hopkins university. Oftentimes doctors dont trust patients collecting data. Reporter he sees a day when a many people will be able to perform physicals on their smart phone and send the information straight to their doctor. We have things as easy as a Blood Pressure cuff and this is useful for mull monday near to check oxygen saturation. Reporter they think that it will reduce healthcare costs over time. Analyses agree. There have been case studies showing that home monitoring is post acute patients have decreased admission rates by up to a 50 to 75 . Reporter even with the reluctance of the medical community to adopt to these new technologies, the message is clear, ready or not, healthcare is evolving. The one absolute is that healthcare is going to be very different five years from now. How different its going to be and how it will benefit you is largely going to be determined by you. Reporter al jazeera. Cutting the rising cost of healthcare in america is a mind boggling challenge facing everyone from doctors to hospitals to insurance companies. One man doing his part by reinventing medical devices by using cheaper parts by using legs. Part scientist, and part medical mamacgyver determined to make medicine more affordable. Reporter right now jose gomez is working on a spoon that tracks how fast a person is eating. A mass produced version would cost 100. Jose figured out how to make it for 25. Were trying to explore fundamentally what do you need to make that same device happen, and how do we publish a recipe so everyone can go to their radio shack and make it happen. Reporter hes head of Little Devices Lab at mit in came bridge. It doesnt look quick your typical lab. Its filled. Legos, toy parts and 3d printers. When we started to tear down toys along side with medical devices we realized they had a lot in common. Small, very precise widely manufactured parts and that are highly regulated because of safety for children. Reporter joses initial goal was to find new ways to collaborate with doctors and nurses in developing countries to build inexpensive medical devices. One that we explain, taking a toy gun, harvesting the electronics from that toy gun and adapting it into an i. V. Pole to make an alarm in an nicaragua healthcare center. Reporter but he discovered the need right here in america. We recognized that affordability is interesting in terms of healthcare. Reporter as the u. S. Healthcare system changes there is a big push to reduce spending and empower patients. Hes creating open source recipe for medical devices that people can make at home. We face a crisis in our healthcare system. A crisis of healthcare costs that are rising at an unsustainable rate. We face a crisis in terms of quality and safety of our healthcare. We need those tinkers and tweakers, engineers and inventers and mad scientists we need them to turn their passion and their creativity to healthcare. Reporter one Practical Application of joses prototypes is through maker nurse a program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson foundation. Hes teaching nurses in the u. S. To find cheap, safe, quick ways to treat patients using his prototypes. One example is a nebulizer or the cup that a doctor will put over the nose and mouth to help the patient breathe. This is shown for safe. When we had no power. To deliver a nebulizer treatment, it would be so efficient. I think joses mission is to ensure that as many individuals across our city, across the country have access to healthy environments and healthcare. When we look underneath the curtain we realize there is no reason why we should be overpaying and why we should be beholdened to what somebody else designed. Reporter he creates kits to help doctors and nurses to create their own hacks like making sure that people take their pills. This is a small scale that you can attach to a pill bottle that can then phone how often that pill bottle is being used or how much volume of medication the medication still has. Reporter it will take some time for the ideas and prototypes to take root in the community, but its already starting. Some Major Players in the Healthcare Industry are start to go pay close attention to his work. The companies are talking to us and engaging us in a way they havent been before. Reporter he said theyre interested in their own bottom lines but his inventions could help the bottom lines of millions of americans in need of healthcare. Otherwise were going to end up with Digital Healthcare for the haves and maybe sort of Digital Healthcare for the have nos, and that would be unfortunate. Al jazeera. Jose envisions a world where we can do basic diagnostics at home. He wants people to be able to use them to test for infection, nutrition or even disease. Coming up meet the matchmaker of the soft wear world. Theyre not looking for love, theyre looking for work. Plus trying to close the math and science gaps among americans students and the unique solution to a costy problem. For the same price of my macbook pro, this computer lab will fit on my back. That and more as real money continues. Many worry that the gains made in education will not stick in the future. Aljazeeras Jane Ferguson takes us to a school in kandahar city that was long considered a success and is now facing closure. Its a place offering more than these girls know, a quality education in real tangible skills, a path away from positivity and early marriage and towards university and a career. Since 2002, the modern stud has been teaching women languages, like management and computer skills. That they are skills that speak of ambition which in the heart of tallle ban country is remarkable. We are a unique school, preparing women to go to jobs. Our school is preparing women to go to universities. Top Software Programmers are a hot commodity. Fortune says that google paid Software Developers 128,000 on average, and we told you stories on this show about Smaller Companies offering 10,000 finder fees for companies to recruit software engineers. There is another way to find those who ride code. Meet jim, businessman, cofounded the mobile Payment Company snare with jack dorsey, and now hes also a match maker. We saw this huge need in st. Louis that were over a thousand job openings, and we found at the same time new people who had programming skills wh who couldnt get these jobs. He started launch code, an initiative that he funds himse himself. We take programmers and place them in jobs. A programmer gets meshed with a working professional in a new business and they Work Together as a team. He started launch code at the end of september. He invited local companies to apply and the response was overwhelming. The Program Identified small and Large Companies to participate in the initial first round. I had a lot of connections in the start up community and i knew they would be strong supporters. Every company we talked to said yes, sir. Getting a decision out of monsanto in three months is great, we got a decision in three days. Reporter standard means are Human Resource departments or traditional head hunters many Business Owners have specific Program Needs that are not being medicine like food essentials, a company that aggregate food label information. It is looking to fill three programming positions. We had a hard time to find programming talent in st. Louis. Either pay is more than you can afford or you have to go outside of the community. Reporter 800 have signed up so far. Theyre selected based on code knowledge and go through an interview been being matched with their companies. Most employees have some background writing code. I learned how to use q basic. Reporter he graduated in 2006 but chose a different career path. I have been a professional poker player for the last seven years. Reporter he was returning to vancouver and was looking to get back to programming when his father emailed him about this launch code thing. He applied and went in for an interview. Ive been out of the industry for a while. They said youre a good candidate, someone who has the skills but needs to get their foot in the door. Reporter launch code and food essentials paired him up to a veteran programmer. One thing that is a pro in programming is getting some people that are smart guys, get them up to speed very fast in order to be able to produce Good Software so the company can grow. Reporter applicants span the age and experience gamut with most being younger and unemployed. Like 21yearold Keegan Meyers who was place with push up. I was unemployed for four or five months. 15 an hour is wonderful, and you know, now im looking at things that i wouldnt have imagined. Im looking into the possibility of either buying a car or getting my own apartment, moving out of my parents house. Reporter jim mckell very said that it goes beyond an apprentice program. Its like a dating service. You could have two people who dont get along. Thats fine. If you dont match with the first company, there are plenty of others. If you dont match with the first candidate, we have another candidate. Im grateful for the way it has went. Without launch code, push up, without being where i am now i really dont know what i would have been doing. I with a be working some deadend job not using my talents, not doing what i enjoy. A quick post strip to that story. Keegan meyers was offered a full time position with you can pup. And adam herrel was offered a full time position by food essentials. Now the next generation of computer programmers. That is stem education. Right now the United States is lagging behind ranking 25th in math against other countries and 17th in science. Another troubling fact the achievement gab between white and black students in these subjects is huge. One 25yearold entrepreneur is trying to change that one laptop at a time. Good afternoon. Googood afternoon. Chelsea is about to teach this sixth grade class, a Public School in harlem, how to write computer code. Were going to learn a language called java script. His mission, develop curriculum for Public Schools based on stem education, science, technology, engineering and math. Its extremely powerful. What is the first step. I am trained as an engineer. Were taught to raise questions, analyze, think criminally, and andthink critically and then come up with solutions. Reporter but its expensive. The u. S. Government has budgeted 3 billion for it. It sounds like a lot of money, but in the grand scheme its less than 1 of budget spent on education. Reporter she says schools across the u. S. Need entrepreneurs like shell yes robuck because there arent enough resources to teach stem. The private sector needs to come in and help us think at the u. S. Government level how to better leverage scarce resources. Today is an exciting day because were going to be using computers that i talked about. Reporter row buck and his team invented their own inexpensive laptops that he brings to schools that want to teach Computer Programming but might not have a computer lab. We use the raspberry pie which is a 35 single board computer. We use this in combination with motorola laptops. So for the price of a macbook pro, an entire computer lab to teach students. You insert it in the bottom of the raspberry pie. Hes bringing things as powerful as coding and Computer Science to a young age group. I was especially interested in Frederick Douglas academy because Frederick Douglas has a population that is often under representative in stem fields. The school is predominantly African American and hispanic. The study found only 24 compared to 75 of white student scores in the same pe percentil. Its not just about sixth grade coders, but robotics and mega t tronics, theyre decking out with led lights and even blood. Hes using Frederick Douglas academy as a pilot site for what he hopes one day will be a national program. Were focusing on trying to share our model as sort of an open source platform that School Leaders are passionate teachers can adopt to their own classes. There are a lot of things in the world that you used today that you didnt realized used mega tronics but they do. Its one of the most powerful things that could happen to an individual. His vision has a lot of supporters. He was awarded an achievement fellowship which invested in social entrepreneurs, and the rise award to promote computer, science and education. One small stroke for man and one giant leap for mankind. For the First Time Ever humanity will have the ability to email their hardware to space. How that could one day lead to colonies on the moon. That story and more as real money continues. The cusp of an extraordinary era. Big business in space i know it sounds sort of out there, pardon the pun, entrepreneurs have been launching a Business Space program, also to set up infrastructure in space so that we one day can live there. Its a big vision, and it has to start somewhere. One place is mountain view, california, in the labs of three 20something entrepreneurs with an audacious vision to make space available. Theyre banking their 3d space printer will change the face of everything. We started testing and building with moon simulate. He holds in his hands what he hopes to be mega structures in space, 3d printed bricks. One day theyll be moon bases that will be habitats on mars. Large spacecraft. Cameron and his partners made in space are a new breed, space entrepreneurs he had quartered at nasas center in mountain view, california. We built this company as a Silicon Valley start up. Were young. We work long hours. Were not afraid to try new things. The vision involves around this 3d printer. In zero gravity things float. And things float a tiny bit and then your entire print is thrown off. We had to come up with ways to control the printing office. 3d printers work like a hot glue gun depositing layers of warm goo that hardens to plastic. This object is build up layer by layer. Reporter theyre partnering with nasa. It will be launched to the International Space station in fall of 2014. The first goal will be the 3d spare parts for the space station. And up until now everything that had to go into space had to be launched. That was the only way to move things from the surface of the earth into space. Rockets are very expensive. They can be risky. By putting a 3d print center space were really knocking down that first barrier of what it takes to put something in space. By being able to up load a file, hit print and have what you want in space on demand space is now accessible to entire new class of people on this planet. For the First Time Ever humanity will have the ability to email their hardware to space. Reporter the founders of made in space are following a lineage of space entrepreneurs. All investing heavily in space. Is being a space entrepreneur viable . So listen, its tough. There is no question. It will be some day the place where a lot of entrepreneurs like the made in space team can do stuff. Today its an expensive entry price, so it really needs innovation. Reporter the challenge is that it takes a lot of capital and a lot of work to ever see a profit, but its a tempting gamble. Trillionaires out there mining astroids, building in space, building the future of humanity. Reporter but its generating revenue in the seven figure, and he has larger goals for the future. Our goal is to have a billion Dollar Company in ten years. We think thats viable, its possible. Reporter and the made in space has big plans from building satellites and launching them from space to completely changing how we use energy on earth. Well build solar collectors, solar plants where we select the suns energy before its degraded by the earth atmosphe atmosphere. Reporter experts say made in space is on to something. The most expensive thing to do is to launch mass into space, and theyre solving for it. There is a big Market Opportunity in what they do, i support what theyre doing. It makes perfect sense to me. Its often joked that it is not a good decision financially to spatter a space company, but the payoff can be incredibly large if you do it right. The first printer the made in space folks are sending to the International Space station will be a science experiment. There will be parts that they build in space and compared it to parts this build on the ground. Then theyll send the second one into space and thats when theyll start printinged printd addons known to man. Im David Shuster. This is real money. Thanks for watching. At.
