How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit. Let me show you in detail how primary care should be carried out in the future!
Digital health should become an organic part of primary care in the future
I live a fairly healthy life. I use data to improve my lifestyle and to make better decisions by optimising my sleep pattern, my physical, my cognitive or my emotional abilities; and I had several genetic tests....

The patient experience has always been a top concern, but health systems con...

Chatting Apton Acquisition with PacBio CEO Christian Henry
PacBio CEO Christian Henry chatted with me recently by teleconference on a variety of topics, but the focus was the recent PacBio acquisition of Apton Biosystems for $85M in equity. As a regular reminder, my employer’s CEO reports in a sense to Henry, as he’s on the Board of Directors. A particularly interesting revelation by Henry is that PacBio had its eye on Apton in late 2021, essentially as soon as they completed theOmniome acquisition announced in July 2021 that formed the foundation for their now-released Onso short read instrument. PacBio believed then that the desktop instrument design from Omniome...

Has Sensemaking Collapsed When It Comes To U.S. Healthcare?
By MIKE MAGEE
This past week my wife and I were at a family event to celebrate my brother-in-law’s 70th birthday. Our extended family has more than a few doctors. A physician nephew who had read CODE BLUE and had a strong interest in health policy asked if I felt I (and others) were too hard on doctors. My response was yes, but that it was intentional and came with the territory. Combining scientific, sometimes life and death expertise, with high-touch compassion, understanding and partnership has always been a “big ask” but that was what we and others had signed up for as “health professionals.”
But can a ...

Swammerdamia or Pseudoswammerdamia micro moth
This is one of those moths that could be any of half a dozen different species. You cannot know for sure unless you’ve raised it from larvae, done DNA testing, or what the lepidopterists call “gen det”, which is where you dissect the male’s genitalia, which are different across the species…and I’m really not going there! Gen det is short for determination by genitalia examination.
One of the various Ermel micro moths
So, we have to record it as a generic member of its genus, or actually in this case two geni:

The vernacular name for the various species...

Finding Balance in Patient-Centric RCM
The following is a guest article by Laxmi Patel, Chief Strategy Officer at Savista
Achieving a delicate equilibrium between automation and human engagement is critical.

As the industry shifts focus to automation and processes to lower cost-to-collect, it is vital to ensure that these efforts remain patient-centric.

Sunday Sermonette: Despair
Job responds with what amounts to despair. He wants to die, and he wants his despair to be respected. This soliloquy, and especially the second half of it in the next chapter, reminds me of Hamlet ' s " Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt " soliloquy, the somewhat lesser known one. But as a literary critic, I would say that Shakespeare does it much more efficiently. This runs through an excessive amount of imagery to make a pretty simple statement.6 Then Job replied:2 “If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!3 It would surely outweigh th...

Wednesday Bible Study: The comfort keeps getting colder
Eliphaz continues to yammer on, now at great length riffing on how God is all powerful, and recommending prayer. The way I read this is basically " Beg for succor, and you might get it. " Of course that doesn ' t explain anything - - the whole premise is that God (here called The Almighty) is capricious.5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?2 Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.3 I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.4 His children are f...
