Why Sustainability in the Healthcare Sector Requires a Cultural Mindset Shift
The following is a guest article by Sheetal Chawla, Head of Life Sciences and Head of Northeast Region at Capgemini Americas, and Stephen Obana, Vice President of Life Sciences at Capgemini Americas The healthcare sector has long been globally recognized as one of the leading carbon-intensive industries, accounting for 4.5% of the world’s greenhouse gases. However, the increasing attention on reducing emissions and forging a path to net zero in recent years has many leaders questioning how they can implement new sustainability strategies across their organizations.  In fact, in 2021, the World Health Organization organi...

Hard Times in the Country
 The AP recently reported onthe disappearance of maternity wards in rural areas: Alisha Alderson placed her folded clothes and everything she needed for the last month of her pregnancy in various suitcases. She never imagined she would have to leave the comfort of her home in rural eastern Oregon just weeks before her due date. But following the abrupt closure in August of the only maternity ward within 40 miles, she decided to stay at her brother ’s house near Boise, Idaho — a two-hour drive through a mountain pass — to be closer to a hospital. . . .A growing number of rural hospitals have been shutt...

The Adaptation-Maladaptation Framework of Aging
While a great deal is known about the ways in which old tissues differ from young tissues, there remains considerable room to theorize on how exactly aging is caused and progresses. Which manifestations are causative, and which downstream consequences, which mechanisms are important, which are side-effects or diversions. Theories of aging abound, alongside frameworks intended to steer thinking about aging. We stand in the opening years of a new era of medicine, in which the first rejuvenation therapies exist or are under development, senolytics that can clear senescent cells, alongside reprogramming strategies and potentia...

Results from Human Clinical Trials Do Not Support Metformin as a Longevity Drug
The SENS Research Foundation staff have carried out the public service of extensively discussing and dismantling the evidence commonly cited in support of metformin as a way to modestly slow aging, showing that said evidence is problematic, to say the least. Metformin might make life modestly better for diabetics, but it doesn't slow aging. This view of the human data matches the poor quality of the animal model data, in which metformin makes a poor showing in comparison to the robust data for a modest slowing of aging that is produced by the use of, say, mTOR inhibitors, or the practice of calorie restriction. Rega...

AI is living up to its promise as a tool for radiology
For the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been proving itself as an effective tool in breast cancer screening. An ever-growing list of research studies has shown that using AI in mammography can safely and efficiently reduce patient wait times while reducing the pressure on in-demand radiologists. This is significant, as early detection greatly Read more… AI is living up to its promise as a tool for radiology originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Addressing the Mental Health Crisis: Why Personalized Digital Solutions Are Essential To Meet Growing Demand
The following is a guest article by Byron Crowe, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Solera Demand for mental services has never been higher, and an ongoing shortage of psychiatrists and psychologists is preventing millions of Americans from timely access to mental health services. And the timing couldn’t be worse — findings from Solera Health’s recent Mental Health Index, a nationally representative survey of over 3,000 U.S. adults, found that 42% of Americans continue to be bothered by symptoms of anxiety and depression, a staggering figure that remains substantially elevated from pre-pandemic numbers. Moreover, these sym...

Many Researchers and Companies Will Aim to Produce Small Molecule Reprogramming Therapies
The typical path for any program in biomedical research and development is to first demonstrate interesting results in animal studies using forms of genetic engineering or gene therapy, and then find small molecules that adjust the same mechanism. Small molecules are never as good as genetic manipulations, the size of the effect is always smaller, usually much smaller, and there are inevitably side-effects. Small molecule development is much easier to conduct, however, more familiar to investors and regulators and program managers, a well-trodden path. Thus while the future of medicine is gene therapy, in search of large e...

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....

2023 Blogging Has Been A Bit Interrupted – Have I Missed Much?
What with spells in hospital and encounters with all sorts of amazing technology it seems I may not have been alert to Digital Health advances as would usually be the case. For that reason I thought it would be worth asking what readers have seen that has caught their attention while I may not have been paying full attention. As you all know I have been really impressed with some technology I

Announcements, Insights, and Perspectives from the Oracle Health Conference
One of the nice things about living in Las Vegas is that almost all the health IT conferences come to Las Vegas.  Sadly, that wasn’t actually true for the Cerner user conference which was held in Kansas City.  However, now that Oracle bought Cerner, the Oracle Health conference is now co-located with Oracle World and is being held in Las Vegas. Of course, there are also downsides to conferences being in Las Vegas where family considerations pull me away from the event.  For example, I missed Larry Ellison’s keynote, but Kristian Feterik did a nice job capturing at least part of Ellison’s vision for Ora...
