5 Insights About The Future Of Health Insurance In The Digital Health Age
The global health insurance market has been experiencing a declining growth rate in recent years; from 9% in 2014-2015 to 6-7% in subsequent years. The 2019 Forbes report that pointed this out also attributes this decline partly to the low adoption of digital solutions in this sector. But those very same solutions can transform the market. Already with futuristic technologies like clinical grade personal health sensors, at-home genome sequencing kits and artificial intelligence, healthcare is receiving a much-needed overhaul that democratises access to quality care. The health insurance industry could also ride on those sa...

Women, alcohol, and COVID-19
Excessive alcohol use is a common response to coping with stress. Alcohol use increased following the September 11th terrorist attacks and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The COVID-19 pandemic is following this same path. However, this pandemic is different in its scope and duration. COVID-19 is associated with both negative health and economic impacts, as well as grief, loss, and prolonged stress and uncertainty. The emotional impact of COVID-19 on women According to the U.S. National Pandemic Emotional Impact Report, compared to men, women reported higher rates of pandemic-related changes in productivity, sleep, mood, healt...

Beyond CBD: Here come the other cannabinoids, but where ’s the evidence?
In the span of a few years, the component of cannabis called CBD (cannabidiol) went from being a relatively obscure molecule to a healthcare fad that has swept the world, spawning billions in sales, millions of users, CBD workout clothing, pillowcases, hamburgers, ice cream — you name it. The concerns of such a rapid adoption are that enthusiasm might be soaring high above the actual science, and that there are safety issues, such as drug interactions, that are given short shrift in the enthusiasm to treat chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and many of the other conditions that CBD is believed to help alleviate. Cannabis, ...

The Future Of Healthcare Design – Outside The Point Of Care
When talking about the future of healthcare, we also have to talk about the future designs of the institutions providing medical services. However, with digital health technologies that democratise access to care, the point of care will not be limited to healthcare institutions. It will rather be split into two; with hospitals becoming health centres for disease prevention, acute care and surgical needs, while monitoring patients’ vitals will be done closer to patients themselves. We explore these aspects of the future of hospital design in this two-part series. In the first article, we looked at design adjustments to...

As One Licensed NC Physician To Another Unlicensed One (Dr. Mary Johnson to Dr. Mandy Cohen/NC DHHS Secretary): PROTECT MEDICAL WHISTLEBLOWERS NOW!
Related to mylast post - which went up (after much soul-searching and trepidation) on 2/28/20201 one of the biggest complaints (coming largely from folks reading on mobile phones) was that the post was " so long " .  They wanted something more " concise " . The post relates my own horrific pandemic experience with Central Carolina Hospital/ApolloMD and Duke Lifepoint in Sanford, North Carolina.  It ' s my third dance as a medical whistle-blower in 23 years.  And much like the first two cases (Asheboro in 1998, and ETSU/Ballad Health in 2017), it ' s really NOT " soundbite " material (it would ...

Wednesday Bible Study: Change of command
In Deuteronomy 31, the passing of leadership from Moses to Joshua begins. There ' s a lot of repetition of the prophecy of the conquest of the promised land, followed by apostasy and Yahweh temporarily abandoning the people. Then there ' s a lot of business about writing down the law -- again, not clear if it ' s the whole of the law as given in Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, or some excerpt. Finally, God has Moses write a song, but we don ' t get to read the lyrics until the next chapter. Unfortunately, the music is not supplied, and we don ' t know much about the music of that culture.According to Wikipedia:The earli...

The Paradigm Shift That Wasn ’ t: The ISCHEMIA Trial
By ANISH KOKA A recent email that arrived in my in-box a few weeks ago from an academic hailed the latest “paradigm shift” in cardiology as it relates to the management of stable angina.  (Stable angina refers to chronic,non-accelerating chest pain with a moderate level of exertion).  The points made in the email were as follows (the order of the points made are preserved): The financial burden of stress testing was significant ( 11 billion dollars per annum in the USA!)For stable CAD, medical treatment is critical.  We now have better medical treatments than all prior trials including ischemia. th...

3 easy ways to eat a healthier diet
While many people might be taking a pass on formal New Year’s resolutions this year, others may mark a fresh start this month by resolving to make up for poor eating habits of the past.

So consider a compromise: start with these three easy ways to eat a healthier diet. Aim for real food only Look at your plate and note what’s processed and what isn’t.

To Leave Your Fears Behind, Learn to Live in the Now
Spiritual teachers have told us that life is unfolding in the now and that only the present moment exists. Scientists such as Albert Einstein have confirmed it. We think time is linear, but that’s because we don’t perceive the now. Our minds are constantly shifting from the past (memories) to the future (expectations). Both of these states of mind are breeding grounds for fear, especially the future. Thoughts of what could happen or what might be take us down a tricky trail. But these imagined scenarios rarely happen as we think they will — and placing credence in them lets fear take over. What...

Network medicine offers new insights into susceptibility to diseases such as COVID-19
In the past year, we ' ve become familiar with the factors that can make a person more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. The elderly are more at risk, as are those who smoke and are already dealing with other diseases, such as cancer and Type 2 diabetes.At a deeper level, though, there are dozens of other factors that may come into play and influence a person ' s susceptibility to disease. A recent analysis of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in 14 states found that among patients ages 50-64 that obesity was the most prevalent underlying medical condition. Similarly, there ' s growing evidence to suggest that vitamin D defic...
