Gem helps transform how businesses capture, handle, and relate their critical data and services using a blockchain network. Emily Vaughn, Director of Client Relations and Marketing for Gem explains Gem's data management operating system that generates and manages identities for different users, (ex: payers vs. providers) so they can participate in a block chain & conduct transactions using a shared, decentralized, cryptographically-secure ledger. Similar to a bitcoin wallet, your blockchain identity can store data, (ex: credentials). You then use that same identity to sign transactions, provide limited and at-will data points to different requesters (vs. your private info such as social security number, date of birth, etc) In the healthcare space, Gemo's goal is to create a blockchain-based approach to allowing quicker and stress-free submission of insurance claims by healthcare providers, faster reimbursement, and lower costs of the administrative burden in business.

Nick Pinkston, CEO of Plethora, has created some seriously sophisticated "intelligent" software that allows engineers and designers to upload their CAD or design files to get a fast and accurate cost manufacture as well as a "is it possible?" design function. The production process is fully automated and helps you analyze what you're working on in real-time and lets you know about tooling limitations, Plethora's capabilities, and how to fix any issues found. Plethora currently focuses on CNC milling and they are continuously working on to come up with more processes. Nick Pinkston explaines how Plethora's manufacturing system connects user's designs directly to their factory. They manufacture parts on 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills using 6061 Aluminum and Acetal Homopolymer.
Jim is an artificial intelligence researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and one of the originators of the Semantic Web. Jim talked about the role that Artificial Intelligence will play in our lives in near future. He also talked in length about the controversial topic: Artificial Intelligence vs Humans and according to Jim, AI is going to transform the range of industries including the healthcare, legal and automobile industry. Jim said that in the future, there will be a co-existence between humans & AI systems that will be hopefully of service to humanity. These AI systems will involve software systems that handle the digital world, and also systems that move around in physical space, like drones, and robots, and autonomous cars, and also systems that process the physical space, like the Internet of Things. This is a fascinating interview with one of the top researcher in the AI field and it's a must listen for all the people who are interested in Artificial Intelligence and its future.
Jonathan Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Overstock.com, and runner up for Governor of Utah in 2016, discusses his latest venture, t0.com (t-zero dot com) – the world's first blockchain-based trading platform, and you can trade shares digitally, securely, and immediately. In the world of equities trading, settlement times are typically t+3, meaning 3 days after a trade has commenced. Because of the blockchain based trading system (which currently trades Overstock.com's preferred stock), settlement times are in seconds, not days! Just wait until t0 goes mainstream and allows investors and traders to buy and sell stocks, bonds, commodities, options, and more with trade settlement times of minutes, not days. Their platform integrates cryptographically secure distributed ledgers with existing market processes to reduce settlement time as well as costs, increase transparency, efficiency and audit-ability. You can even open your own blockchain trading account and trad at: kccbd.t0.com

The average prosthetic leg cost thirty thousand dollars, it takes several weeks to make and wears out in less than 5 years. TriFusion can make a custom prosthetic device in hours instead of weeks that fits better and costs far less than anything on the market today. They've developed a novel carbon nano-tube-coded printer filament and a microwave welding process to fuse 3D printed parts together making them super strong and durable. Combined with their advanced 3D scanning capabilities they can go from scan to device in less than 48 hours. Trifusion's micro world process is a disruptive technology due to an enormous competitive advantage in both price and production time. They can print prosthetics, orthotics, wearables, sporting equipment, protective devices and so much more all using their unique 3D printing materials and welding process. TriFusion serves the unmet needs of both amputees and prosthetics by simplifying and expediting the process of manufacturing a custom prosthetic device through their unique, technological breakthrough.
