Health Equity: Searching for a New Angle
In Disney’s Big Hero 6, the protagonist, Hiro Hamada, will get stuck in a problem after working on it for a while because he’s becoming too set in his way of thinking. And he is only able to find the solution thanks to his brother’s, Tadashi Hamada, words ‘find a new angle, look for another way out.’ Health inequality and discrimination is not a new problem in healthcare. It is a problem that people have been fighting for since the very beginning but we still have not found the solution to achieving health equity. So it might be time to listen to Tadashi and shake things up. Maybe by taking a...

R.I.P. Newton Minow
Paul MatzkoFormer FCC Chairman Newton Minow died a few days ago and outlets dug deep into their archives to dust off their pre‐written obits for the 97‐year‐old who lived a full and eventful life. I had the opportunity to be on a panel with Minow back in 2021, which was a somewhat surreal experience given how few of the people that I covered in mybook on broadcasting in the 1960s are still around. I have a few thoughts about his legacy to share with you.Let ’s start with a positive note. Minow often had solid foresight. For instance, he was right when hetold JFK that launching the first telecom...

A Better Approach to U.S.-China Trade
Clark PackardFive years ago next month the Trump administration began an aggressive trade war with China over a number of Beijing’s abusive trade and investment practices. The tariffs caused predictable retaliation imposed enormous costs on the U.S. economy, particularly manufacturing, and perhaps worst of all, failed to discipline Beijing’s legitimately troubling high tech mercantilist practices. Despi tecalling the Trump administration ’s China tariffs “damaging” “reckless” and “disastrous” on the 2020 campaign trail and despitehigh inflation, President Biden has not reversed course and indeed has emb...

Nursing the Nation and the World
Nurses are everywhere. They are legion. The ubiquitous nurse is present in the care of children, the elderly, the disabled, and the dying. Nurses don ' t shy away from responsibility — they embrace it. Nurses run towards the metaphorical fire. Just as firefighters rush into burning buildings and police officers run towards the active shooter, nurses don their gloves and deal with the sputum, the blood, the pus, the emesis, the feces, and the urine — body fluids be damned, th ere ' s work to do and nurses do it. The Ubiquitous NurseWhere would the country be without nurses? Without nurses, the healthcare system wou...

Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring – Not for the Faint-of-Heart (Pun Intended)
This article will summarize these challenges and also provide optimism for the refreshingly near future. Namely, while the progress towards FDA-cleared cuffless BP monitoring may feel protracted, significant technological advances, regulatory modernization, and clinical use case validation are rapidly advancing and aligning.
Key Challenges Confronting OTC Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring
Scientific Risks
At the most fundamental level, the jury’s still out on whether sufficiently accurate noninvasive, cuffless, calibration-free blood pressure monitoring is physically realizable at all. Namely, “Do the laws of nature...

Data ’ s Role in Health Equity: Digging into the Root of the Problem
As we’ve been becoming more patient centric in healthcare, we have become more and more aware of the challenges different demographics face while trying to receive the care they need. As a result, health equity has been a hot topic and organizations have been searching for solutions. Because in order to put our patients first, we need to be sure that includes all of our patients, not just some of them. But just as important as finding solutions are, we need to be sure that we do it right.
A problem as deep as inequality can’t be fixed with temporary solutions just like you can’t fix a leaky pipe with some...

Biggest Themes from #HIMSS23
As we reach kind of the midpoint of the HIMSS 2023 annual conference, a few themes have really come into shape. I’m happy (and kind of sad) to say that are predictions of the top topics were what we predicted in our HIMSS 2023 preview. The two biggest themes at HIMSS are the two topics that are top of mind at most healthcare organizations: workforce and revenue.
I think it’s probably fair to say that HIMSS 2023 attendees are burnt out of talking about how burnt out everyone in healthcare is right now. Plus, it seems like this problem is likely going to get worse. I guess the one bright spot in all of th...

Los testiculos de Jehovah
That ' s what my Puerto Rican friends call them, because they always come in pairs. (In Spanish the cult is Los Testigos de Jehovah.) Los Testiculos are probably the most pervasive and persistent proselytizers, but far from the only ones. I really do not understand the compulsion. I am not in any way temped to go door to door trying to convert people to atheism and scientific naturalism, although I certainly do offer arguments for people who are interested. Aggressive proselytizers do annoy me. In fact two of the Testiculos knocked on my door today. I told them to get lost, butI ' m happy to say I showed sufficient fo...

Why do we use QWERTY keyboards?
TL:DR – Contrary to deceived wisdom, the QWERTY keyboard layout was invented to increase a typist’s words per minute (wpm) rate and reduce errors, rather than to slow them down.
Fellow science writer Jo Brodie was recently discussing how the standard QWERTY keyboard layout has been adapted for different languages. Thankfully, she doesn’t repeat the #DeceivedWisdom regarding the invention of this layout.
It is known that when the typewriter was invented in the 19th Century, the designers tried various layouts for the letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and controls before settling on the very familiar Q...
