Can Apple Teach Silicon Valley to Think Different About Healthcare?
By DAVID SHAYWITZ, MD I was thrilled to learn that Stephen Friend, co-founder and CEO of the nonprofit open data platform Sage Bionetworks, has accepted a role at Apple and is stepping away from day-to-day operations at Sage (he will continue to serve as chair of the board). I’ve known Friend for over decade, starting when I was at Merck (he led cancer research), and continuing through his cofounding of Sage with Eric Schadt (I was at the Boston Consulting Group by then and served as a founding advisor). (Disclosure/reminder: I am chief medical officer of DNAnexus, a cloud-based health data management platform based in S...

Survivor Advocate Program Shapes Future Research
The 8th Biennial on Cancer Survivorship Research took place last week and I can’t think of a more meaningful or impactful way for us to have kicked off this meeting than by convening a group of engaged survivor advocates! This is just what LIVESTRONG accomplished, in partnership and collaboration with the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control. Earlier this year survivor advocates from across the country applied to the Survivor Advocate program, held in concert with the Biennial. The response was overwhelming and after a rigorous review of almost 150 applications, 15 in...

MKSAP: 68-year-old woman with dyspepsia
Test your medicine knowledge with the MKSAP challenge, in partnership with the American College of Physicians. A 68-year-old woman undergoes upper endoscopy for evaluation of dyspepsia. She has a history of pernicious anemia. She has no other medical problems and her only medication is oral vitamin B12. On physical examination, vital signs are normal, as is the remainder of the physical examination. Upper endoscopy discloses a 6-mm polyp in the body of the stomach, which is removed by polypectomy. Other endoscopic findings, including biopsy of the duodenum to evaluate for celiac disease, are normal. Pathologic examinatio...

Evolving Hospital Community Benefit Could Be The Next Big Development In Health Philanthropy
“Hospital community benefit”: Remind me, what Is That again? In our experience, when colleagues in health philanthropy hear the phrase “hospital community benefit,” their eyes begin to glaze over. We don’t blame them. It’s a unique and changing corner of the health philanthropy world, manifesting itself in different ways according to states’ varying regulations and differing organizational goals. Unless they’ve worked alongside a hospital on a community health initiative, grantmakers may not be aware of the opportunities in this field. Nonprofit hospitals, in order to maintain their tax-exempt (or ̶...

Silicon Valley Joins the Drug and Device Discovery Party
Sean Parker Kobe Bryant Every year the Milken Global Conference pulls together an amazing cadre of people for discussions of a myriad of topics, from politics to energy to healthcare to technology and entertainment. There are few places where one can simultaneously sit in the green room with Vicente Fox, Sean Parker and Kobe Bryant, but this was the place to be if you like to be the least famous person in a room. FYI, of the four of us, I am the only one without my own Wikipedia page. And I was in that room because I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in a panel at the program called: The Search for Cur...

Consumer Groups Weigh in on EHRs Under MACRA
By STEVEN FINDLAY One of the things that needs to happen as physician payment reform and EHR interoperability (post-meaningful use) evolve under MACRA is this:  CMS and ONC need to promote, measure and significantly enhance consumers’ access to their health information and/or interaction with EHRs.    Stated another way: after spending $30 billion to compel the adoption of EHRs, the federal government needs to get its act together to assure that consumers and patients are directly—and not just indirectly—benefiting.  That was, after all, part of the original vision way back in the George W. Bush administration....

Playing the China Card Wisely Is Obama's Last Best Chance to Sell the Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Trans-Pacific Partnership is the economic centerpiece of the Obama administration’s much ballyhooed “strategic pivot” to Asia, which – in 2009 – heralded U.S. intentions to extricate itself from the messes in Iraq and Afghanistan and to reassert its interests in the world’s fastest-growing region. After six years of negotiations, the comprehensive trade deal was completed last year and signed by its 12 charter members earlier this year. But the TPP must be ratified before it can take effect – and prospects for that happening in 2016 grow dimmer with each passing day. One would assume TPP ratification a...

A Powerful LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Experience
Earlier this week I visited the Floyd County YMCA with my LIVESTRONG teammate Polly Jenkins and our partners at Eli Lily to see a YMCA program in action and to discuss our partnership. I have always heard great things about the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, but I left this site visit with a whole new and fresh perspective.  In short, I was blown away. I wish I could have videoed this whole experience, or even better, brought you all with me. One thing is for sure – LIVESTRONG at the YMCA isn’t just an exercise program – it is helping people return to LIFE after cancer.  It’s just as much about the rebuildin...

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Text to Connect Pilot Kicks Off
There are more than 14.5 million cancer survivors in the United States today, and the LIVESTRONG Foundation is always looking for new ways to improve access to our navigation services. Last month we launched a “text to connect” pilot project at select YMCA locations that offer the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program. A little background on LIVESTRONG at the YMCA: The physical, emotional, and financial side effects of a diagnosis are significant and often long-lasting, which is why LIVESTRONG partnered with YMCA of the USA in 2007 to create a unique program to address the needs of cancer survivors. “LIVESTRONG at the YMCA...

It Looks Like UNITY Biotechnology is Taking the Drug Development Path to Senescent Cell Clearance
UNITY Biotechnology and Oisin Biotechnologies are both early stage startups working on commercial development of therapies capable of clearance of senescent cells. Since accumulation of senescent cells is one of the root causes of aging and age-related disease, periodic removal of these cells is a narrowly focused form of rejuvenation. There are a number of other forms of damage and disarray that contribute to degenerative aging, and all will have to be fixed if aging is to be controlled by medicine, but an individual with fewer senescent cells is absolutely better off than one with more senescent cells regardless of the s...

A New Way to Support Cancer Education in Schools
At Hotels for Hope, we are honored to not only call LIVESTRONG a nonprofit partner…but also our friends. LIVESTRONG provides crucial support and services for those affected by cancer. This year, Hotels for Hope is excited to team up in an effort to fundraise for the LIVESTRONG at School program. Research has shown that 25 percent of cancer survivors in the United States have school-aged children. Cancer is difficult enough to understand as an adult. But imagine being a child and learning that your parent, family member, friend or teacher was diagnosed with cancer. It’s crucial that teachers are able to offer cancer...
