Today let me share with you the video that I just saw on the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the National University of Singapore (NUS)'s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) back in 2024.

The Singapore Population Health Studies Celebrates 20 Years of Impacting Lives
The Health Minister, Mr. Ong Ye Kung, shares with us his thoughts about the health situation in Singapore.
Mr. Ong speaks about the importance of digital transformation in order to solve health problems like diabetes. Right now, there are already mobile applications used in Singapore to collect information from the population, including their BMI and daily meals, and which send them to a repository that can be used by medical doctors and researchers with the help of AI to create policies that, in turn, help citizens.
Furthermore, he emphasizes the value of entering data only once, and having this same data used by several hospitals and clinics. Thus, it's now so much easier and faster to study and evaluate patients' health.
At the moment, most public facilities have connected to the system, and the private ones are expected to connect as well.
Finally, I would like to say that in the Philippines, there are already experts in digital health, which also encompasses the concept of interoperability. However, it seems that it's quite difficult to implement a national system in the country.
Meanwhile, health problems like, for instance, hypertension, which patients struggle with and are related to obesity, among others, can actually be avoided if patients could only change their lifestyle.
But since the quickest fix is to take medicine, many people choose this option. However, when they've gotten older, their livers can no longer take so much of these medicines, so they die.
In the first place, they cannot anymore change their lifestyle by adding more exercises and healthy food, because they must work and earn money immediately for their family whose members don't all make money. Furthermore, the members of their family continue to increase rapidly so that those who work always don't have enough money.
Esta noche parece que Sr. Yoshiki Okamoto y su equipo no lanzarán un nuevo vídeo, sin embargo, la verdad es que tengo algo para vosotros.

The Singapore Population Health Studies Celebrates 20 Years of Impacting Lives
Acabo de verlo esta tarde, y se trata del 20 aniversario de Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) de National University of Singapore (NUS) en el año 2024.
El Ministro de Salud, Sr. Ong Ye Kung, nos comparte sus pensamientos sobre la situación de salud en Singapur.
Sr. Ong habla de la importancia de la transformación digital para resolver problemas de salud tal como diabetes. Actualmente, ya hay unas aplicaciones móviles usados en Singapur para recoger las informaciones de la población incluso el BMI y las comidas cotidianas, y cuales las mandan a un repositorio que se puede utilizar por los médicos y los investigadores con el apoyo de la IA para crear las políticas que, entonces, ayudan a los ciudadanos.
Además, se fija en el valor de entrar los datos sola una vez, y utilizarse estos mismos datos por varios hospitales o clínicas. Por eso, es mucho más fácil y rápido investigar y evaluar la salud de los pacientes hoy en día.
Por el momento, la mayoría de las facilidades públicas han conectado al sistema, y las privadas se esperan conectar también.
Finalmente, yo querría decir que en Filipinas ya hay los expertos de la salud digital, cual abarca el concepto de interoperabilidad también. Sin embargo, parece que es bastante difícil implementar un sistema nacional en el país.
Mientras tanto, los problemas de salud como, por ejemplo, hipertensión que los pacientes se luchan y están relacionados con la obesidad, entre otros, de verdad se pueden evitar si los pacientes solo podrían cambiar su estilo de vida.
Pero como el remedio más rápido es tomar la medicina, mucha gente elige esta opción. No obstante, cuando ellos se han puesto más viejos, sus hígados ya no pueden tomar tantas medicinas así que ellos mueren.
En el primer lugar, ellos ya no pueden cambiar su estilo de vida por añadir más ejercicios y comidas saludables, porque deben trabajar y ganar dinero inmediatamente para su familia cuyos miembros no todos ganan dinero. Es más, los miembros de su familia siguen añadiéndose rápido así que los que trabajan siempre no ganan dinero suficiente.
Today let me share with you Mr. Yoshiki Okamoto's talk about his thoughts on Japanese Prime Minster Takaichi's foreign diplomacy.

高市首相の対中国外交について思う事｜岡本吉起塾ch
Okamoto-san begins with the question: What attitude should a person have when faced with someone he doesn't like?
According to Okamoto-san, due to the tension between China and Japan, China has told Japan to return the panda that it has given them.
Because of this, Okamoto-san explains that Japan shouldn't depend on this sort of country, even if, as a consequence, China will not send more tourists to Japan.
Furthermore, doing things to cause problems to another country is a questionable act. Okamoto-san thinks that it's something that grown-ups don't do, nor any country for that matter, even though it may be the second largest economy (GDP) in the world.
Moreover, China does these things not accidentally but regularly.
Although Okamoto-san isn't interested in politics, and neither does he like politicians, he thinks that the current Japanese government is okay, and he wants to support it so that the zest of young Japanese people doesn't wane.
Finally, he believes that China will continue to do what it does. Neverthless, Japan cannot allow terrorism. Therefore, it is crucial that countries help one another, whether it be in terms of importing fruits from Thailand or something else.
Okamoto-san concludes that all that he's said is his own opinion and he believes that Japan doesn't need to apologize, upsetting though the environment is.

Sr. Okamoto comienza con la pregunta: ¿Cuál actitud debe tener una persona cuando se enfrente a otra que no le gusta?
Según Sr. Okamoto, debido a la tensión entre China y Japón, China ha dicho a Japón que devuelva su panda que le ha dado.
Por eso, Sr. Okamoto explica que el país Japón no debe depender de este tipo de país, aún si, como consecuencia, China no enviará más turistas a Japón.
Es más, hacer cosas para causar problemas a otro país es un acto cuestionable. Le parece que es algo que los grandes no hacen, ni cualquier país, si bien sea la segunda economía (GDP) más grande del mundo.
Además, China hace estas cosas no accidentalmente sino regularmente.
Aunque Sr. Okamoto no se interesa en la política, y tampoco le gustan los políticos, le parece que el gobierno Japonés actual está bien, y quiere soportarle para que no bajaría el fervor de los japonese jóvenes.
Por último, cree que China seguirá haciendo lo que hace. Sin embargo, el país Japón no puede permitir el terrorismo. Entonces, es crucial que los países se ayudan entre sí, si sea en termino del importar las frustas de Tailandia u otro.
Sr. Okamoto concluye que todo lo que ha dicho es su propia opinión y cree que Japón no tiene que disculparse, si bien el medio ambiente pica.
Today let me share with you Prof. Joi Ito and team's general meeting yesterday morning about the recent developments in Web3 technology and the people behind them.
In addition to Comugi-san's usual news reports, the presentation for the day was done by Mr. Yuki Uwaizumi, the Founder and CEO of Unyte.
Unyte is, to my mind, a startup fairly recently established in 2022 with a surprisingly small capital of 10.1 million yen with 20 people including contractual workers based in Tokyo.
The business focuses on building a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) community while providing related products and services.
They've partnered with well-recognized companies that include Panasonic and Nissan, and do things similar to the R&D arm of big companies.
An example of which is providing consulting work as well as tool and systems development assistance to Nissan on the "Nissan Passport."
Participants who are able to take part in their Discord community on this project and complete certain tasks like doing coursework and graduating from school get to receive points. These points are then used to help employers, for instance, evaluate people.
The overarching idea is that good people can do good things, so by actively participating in the community, helping out and sharing positivity with their fellow participants, it would be possible to clearly identify who have been active contributors.
All this information is stored using Blockchain Web3 technology, and their team's goal is to build a trustworthy platform where they provide various services that make use of personal data to help with employment and asset management, among other things.
