Summary

Fluid-Screen is a powerful startup with a focus on benefiting the world by creating a product that produces faster, less costly and more accurate lab testing results in the palm of your hand.
Dr. Monika Weber, CEO and founder of Fluid-Screen, recognized the fact that every year millions of people around the world are become sick or die from outbreaks caused from bacteria contamination found in water and food. Traditional methods for bacteria cultivation and testing takes day which can lead to further illness, disease, and death. Fluid-Screen has developed the technology that cuts down the time it would take to test bacteria with traditional methods, to just 30 mins. This allows us to make informed decisions about our health in a timely matter.
Fluid-Screen has replaced petri-dish testing with a microchip. The palm-size device takes a sample of water, blood, urine or other fluids and runs it through the machine. The device then uses radio frequency waves, instead of chemicals, to make the bacteria “dance”, so to speak, to make each easily identified based on movement, reaction, etc. The device then relays test results to a smartphone allowing the user to receive the information right there in the field. By bypassing labs, this technology is cost-effective which will also enable underdeveloped countries who can’t afford traditional lab testing.

0:07.0	Future Technologies
0:08.0	Boys to transform our lives for better or worse are the focus of this podcast. Almost here means these
0:14.8	technologies are now here and starting to be used or just around the corner for
0:19.6	Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.
0:27.0	Coming to Dallas, Texas, September 14th, 15th and 16, 2018, the blockchain and
0:38.8	a future check expo. This is going to be a gigantic conference of over 5,000 people.
0:44.4	We're going to be talking about blockchain and its applications.
0:47.4	We're going to be talking about quantum computing,
0:49.6	cyber security, artificial intelligence, and several other future technologies that are poised
0:55.6	to and actually changing our lives as we speak.
0:59.4	Here's why you should attend.
1:01.1	As you may know, early adopters are the ones that investigated and profited

1:30.3	If you consider yourself an early adopter and you want to find the biggest nuggets, then you owe it to yourself to attend this upcoming conference.
1:37.5	Blockchain is going to affect how we control and store our medical data,
1:41.5	how we send money around the world, how we bank and more.
1:46.0	But artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cyber security will play a pivotal role in
1:51.0	our lives as well.
