Emerging Technology May Fill In
Healthcare Gaps
Healthcare that is accessible, affordable and available to all may not be all that far off thanks to advancing technology.
On Thursday, Bisnow Seattle Future of Healthcare 2018 event panelists discussed how evolving technology can help bridge gaps that prevent equity in the way care is applied. There is a major shift in the industry that puts the emphasis on preventing illness rather than reacting to it.
Technology is the key, if properly applied, The Polyclinic Chief Medical Officer Dr. Marc Miller said. Technology, and the data collection made possible because of it, can expose gaps in an individual's care that can then be addressed.

Why The Culture Of Finance Is More Inclusive For Women In Commercial Real Estate
Again and again, women in commercial real estate have been pushed aside, ignored, discouraged, maligned or worse. In the midst of the global #MeToo movement, those struggles — namely equal pay, equal treatment and equal opportunity — have emphatically risen to the surface to force the industry to chart a new, more inclusive course. But change can take time.
Yet in one critical corner of real estate change has already begun: Women now account for an estimated 34% of all financial service positions in the commercial real estate industry. That makes it the second-largest specialization for women in the industry behind asset management — just ahead of development and brokerage services, according to the latest CREW survey.
That is far from equal, but given the truism that commercial real estate is male-dominated, real estate finance now represents one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors for women in all of commercial real estate — and that is because there is a more natural education path for women that leads to financial service positions.

Blockchain Technology Could Change The Subcontractor Relationship In Construction
Blockchain technology holds the potential to change how builders hire and pay subcontractors and suppliers, but the how of the technology is less important than why it is needed in the industry, says the founder of BuilderChain, a company setting out to drive some of that change.
Dan Bowden, who has decades of experience in the homebuilding space, has set out to bring blockchain technology — the use of distributed, secure information and validation through a public record or "ledger" — to companies looking to better streamline the process.
That could mean getting the right subcontractors on a job quickly or expediting how those subcontractors or suppliers are paid. While he plans to start with small homebuilders, Bowden said the technology has potential to create a faster, better system for larger companies in both the residential space and in commercial real estate construction.

Amazon's Newest Physical Store Sells 4-Star Rated Items
Amazon expanding its brick-and-mortar presence isn't unusual any more, with bookstores and pop-ups in many locations nationwide. But the e-commerce giant's latest foray into physical retailing has a new twist: 4-star goods, as rated by Amazon customers.
