New Collection of Articles on Language Equity in Medical Education
To recognize and demonstrate that all persons are valued and respected, academic medicine ideally will reflect the communication needs and language preferences of the population. We have curated a collection of articles with the intent of helping readers understand historical perspectives on the need to address language-related health disparities and informing strategies to enhance language-appropriate health care training and assessment at their institutions.
Each of us, Dr. Pilar Ortega and Dr. Débora Silva, brings a different perspective on language equity informed by our personal and professional experiences. I (P....

The Top 10 Health Chatbots
This study from March 2023 reports how an app developed to help patients’ bowel preparation can increase compliance and thus, the number of successful colonoscopies.
In some cases, health chatbots are also able to connect patients with clinicians for diagnosis or treatment, but that is one step further down the line. The general idea is that in the future, these talking or texting smart algorithms might become the first contact point for primary care. Patients will not get in touch with physicians or nurses or any medical professional with every one of their health questions but will turn to chatbots first. If th...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 31st 2023
In conclusion, an SBP level below 130 mmHg was found to be associated with longevity among older women. The longer SBP was controlled at a level between 110 and 130 mmHg, the higher the survival probability to age 90. Preventing age-related rises in SBP and increasing the time with controlled BP levels constitute important measures for achieving longevity.

A Popular Economics View of the Future of the Longevity Industry
Rather than popular science, here we have a popular economics article on the present state and future of the longevity industry. It is a superficial survey of the field, but interesting for pulling together some of the available economic statistics and forecasts into one place.
Making human beings live longer in good mental, neurological and physical health would be one of the most important steps humanity has ever taken. Not only because of the suffering experienced by millions of people around the world, but also because of the massive impact it would have on society, the economy and the public policies of any s...

Outsourcing Clinical Notes to an Expert-Machine Collaboration Using Ambient Clinical Voice
OnPoint Healthcare Partners is the latest ambient clinical voice technology we’ve found that combines expert human authors with AI to take one of the annoying burdens off doctors: writing clinical notes. According to President and CEO Jim Boswell, information is captured from the doctor/patient interaction, uploaded securely to their cloud services, and processed by a team from around the world to generate notes in a time ranging from less than an hour to next-morning delivery. Quick turn-around, according to Boswell, is particularly important for in-patient settings, but this isn’t as true in most ambulatory p...

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...

Helping People Take Their Meds
Lack of adherence to prescribed medication is a major failing of our healthcare system. (Dr. Omar Manejwala, CMO of DarioHealth, recommends using the term “adherence” instead of the more condemnatory term “compliance.”) A previous article listed some alarming statistics about the number of patients who don’t take their medications as advised, and the dire effects on life expectancy as well as costs to the health care system.
That previous article focused on ways to solve problems of cost and access, which in the United States and many other countries are big contributors to lack of adherence. ...

Using Telehealth to Serve Disparate Populations
The following is a guest article by Josh Wilda, CIO at University of Michigan Health-West.

He’s also one of many Exalta patients who took advantage of a partnership with a local hospital to receive needed specialty care through a unique hybrid remote/in-person model.

Our OMI Toolbox Application is out now !
We are happy to announce that our " OMI Toolbox " application has just released and ready for your use. As myocardial infarction (MI) and many other diagnoses (for example left ventricular hypertrophy, prior MI etc.) can cause ST-segment elevation (STE) on electrocardiogram (ECG), the distinction between them may be hard and complicated. Furthermore, some ECGs may not meet the STEMI criteria but may still be diagnostic for acute coronary occlusion (ACO). For this purpose, only one set of diagnostic or differentiating criteria (STEMI criteria) is not enough, therefore a bunch of different tools are needed to make a&nbs...
