The exorbitant cost of healthcare has caused many to avoid the healthcare system completely because of affordability issues. Many persons are still unbanked and uninsured which results in those persons unable to access a medical loan or health insurance. This is a major drawback in the development of an effective healthcare system. Medical Laboratories charge exorbitant fees for blood tests that are not subsidized by the government or health insurance. This makes access to diagnostics and pharmaceuticals a luxury for a few. A solution to this is the access to medical microinsurance for the unbanked and uninsured. This can be simply in the form of a medical cost sharing program. These programs are sometimes called healthcare ministries in many christian organizations.
Gav-Med Solutions is a consulting firm in Jamaica that assist health professionals, such as Doctors, with product sourcing strategy as well as the starting and managing of Medical Laboratories. We are a group of medical laboratory professionals dedicated to making Jamaica a better place to start and manage medical laboratories at the most affordable costs. Gav-Med Solutions assist health professionals with product selection, sourcing and purchasing management.

Becoming an Inventor
Becoming an inventor does not require you to be super brilliant. Inventions are created using a three step formula. These steps include: Initiation, Imitation and Innovation. A simple and mathematical way to remember this formula is Invention = Initiation + Imitation + Innovation. The first step which is Initiation is to study the field that you want create an invention in. For example if you want to invent a diagnostic test then you have to study medical laboratory science and engineering. This means reading academic papers, research literature and books about the subject. This will help you with initiating your mind to think about how your invention will add value to society. The second step which is Imitation is to filter through all of the literature and find strategies that you can copy. After copying these strategies then you need to practice them daily until you are perfect. Through practicing you will automatically start to find new strategies that no one has ever tried before. Finding new and unique strategies through experimentation is what leads you to the Innovation step.

Datasets in Molecular Biology
Finding the needle in the haystack is what health data analytics is all about. Factors that can affect the needle found include poor data quality, poor data governance and poor data preparation. The use of data to create expert systems that operate similar or superior to physicians is the final innovation for healthcare. This innovation will intertwine the subject areas of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering. A dataset in molecular biology could predict whether a patient will have cancer in the future. There are several research and development initiatives aimed at creating what I call "ROBO-DOCTOR" which is an expert system for healthcare. This will incorporate the use of therapeutic and diagnostic data as well as a decision support system that can predict future health outcomes.

Open Source Educational LIMS
G-MOSS (Gav-Med Open Source Society) is the ultimate free and open-source healthcare group for open source laboratory information management systems. Its focus is on data and life as subject areas that everyone can learn for free online via open-source education. Data is viewed from the perspective of artificial intelligence and Life is viewed from the perspective of genetic engineering. We believe that path to a self-taught education is via the internet and is possible with the symbiosis of artificial and biological intelligence. Linus's law states that 'given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow'. This means that everyone should learn and participate in the development of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering.

Open Data and Life
Open source technologies are becoming more popular now since Microsoft purchased GitHub, the ultimate open source software development company. Free and open source software (FOSS) allows users to use, study, change and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose. It is source code that is designed to be publicly accessible. Microsoft was the major opponent of this idea of open source since their business model was built on proprietary closed source software. Eventually, everyone will have to embrace every form of open source, including open data and open life which are the future. Open Data focuses on the open source approach to artificial intelligence whilst Open Life focuses on the open source approach to genetic engineering. This is future of open source which allows anyone to use, study, change and distribute the source code of AI and genetics. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, even university education is now open source. There is an open source computer science degree available on GitHub called Open Source Society University.

Computers or Humans: AI or Genetics
There is an ongoing debate about which technology will have the greatest impact on the universe. Robotics, Computers and AI will create machines that are autonomous, require little to no human intelligence and exist independently. Human engineering with Genetics will create human beings with biological superintelligence that exist supernaturally without any form of disease. This war between computers and humans will become more intense with advancements in the fields of artificial intelligence and genetics. DNA is the most advanced form of software ever created. This makes engineering life the most important invention of the human race. AlphaCode and GPT-3 allows computers to write their own code using artificial intelligence. In the future, computers will be able to reprogram human genetics using artificial intelligence. This means that instead of humans engineering machines, machines will start to engineer humans . Thus, using AI, computers will start to engineer life. The jobs of software and genetic engineers would become extinct. STEM discoveries are gradually making progress in the engineering of life especially for humans to become a multiplanetary species and colonise Mars.
