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....

Intermittent Fasting Reduces Pathology in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer ' s Disease
The sizable body of work produced on calorie restriction and fasting over the last twenty years is supportive of the hypothesis that time spent hungry is an important factor determining the scale of benefits to health and longevity. The cellular response to a transient lack of nutrients involves improved cell maintenance, such as upregulation of autophagy to clear out damaged and worn molecular machinery. Looking at a level of organization above the cell, a transient state of hunger likely produces many other benefits to the way in which complex tissues and relationships between tissues function in the body. It dampens inf...

Let ’ s Start Over
BY KIM BELLARD When I first read the reports about some Silicon Valley billionaires wanting to start a new city, I figured, oh, it’s just a bunch of rich white guys wanting to take their toys and go to a new, better home. After all, they’ve seen what’s been happening to downtown San Francisco (or Portland, or Chicago – pick your preferred city).   Cities these days may be an what one expert calls an “urban doom loop” – struggling to recover after having been hollowed out by the pandemic. These so-called elites probably figured it’s easier to build something new rather than to try to fix what already ...

The Importance of Patient Portal Usability
The following is a guest article by Dr. Bruce Bassi, Advisory Board Member at CharmHealth Most patients have almost certainly received an invitation to join their electronic medical record communication system, or portal for their particular doctor’s office. Clinicians have their own opinions about medical record systems, but what about patients? Typically, users log into their portal with one specific purpose, then log off, and do not wish to spend too much time engaging in a health portal system. If the system is too cumbersome or difficult to use, it would reduce engagement and not achieve its intended purpose. The pr...

The harm of the “ just do it ” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression
“There’s no such thing as postpartum depression.” These were the unsolicited words from my obstetrician in the third trimester of my first pregnancy. “It’s only sleep deprivation,” she explained. As an MD, I’d been taught there was indeed such a thing as postpartum depression. But as the patient in that interaction, a pregnant woman, I Read more… The harm of the “just do it” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Can Hallucinated AI Help with Patient Engagement?
The following is a guest article by Michelle X. Zhou, Ph.D., Co-Founder and CEO at Juji ChatGPT and similar AI applications have given humankind a new tool. While this new tool is powerful, it may not always be reliable. Hence the term “AI hallucinations” is coined to refer to such unreliable AI performance. Here is an example. I asked ChatGPT, “Who founded Juji“, the AI startup I co-founded. It hallucinated with the following reply: It got several facts wrong including my education. I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University, not Carnegie Mellon University. Moreover, Juji was co-founded by Dr. H...

IoMT – Helping Data Reach Its Full Potential
The importance of data in healthcare has been beaten into our heads again and again and again. Healthcare runs on data, all good decisions are backed by data, etc. I think we’re all on the same page about making sure our organizations have all of the healthcare and patient data we can get our hands on. But in repeating the simple message that data is important, we tend to leave out that even more important is the ability to properly manage it to make it accessible, especially with the sheer amount of data that healthcare organizations need to run properly. One tool that can help in this endeavor is the Internet of Me...

A Study Reveals The Impact Of Childhood TV Habits On Adult Blood Pressure
Conclusion In sum, monitoring and managing screen time is not just about today’s habits but a long-term investment in a child’s future health, particularly their blood pressure levels. The data linking childhood TV viewing to adult health problems like high blood pressure underscores the urgency of this matter. However, understanding is just the first step. From here, we must translate this knowledge into action – through parental control, societal initiatives, healthier dietary habits, and increased physical activity. But we must also remember that screen time isn’t all bad – the conten...

Blood Pressure Meds vs Blood Thinners: What ’ s The Difference?
Conclusion In conclusion, while blood pressure medicines and blood thinners are both crucial to heart health, their roles and mechanisms of action are notably distinct. Blood pressure medication works primarily on the vascular system, aiding in reducing blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels or altering the heart’s function. On the other hand, blood thinners target the blood itself, working to prevent the formation of potentially dangerous blood clots. Throughout this article, one thing becomes undeniably clear: the importance of regular consultations with your healthcare provider. When it comes to managing m...
