#WhosNext? Surgeons? Sony recently unveiled their new Surgical Robot by having it slice and stitch a kernel of corn. It can also auto-switch between its different tools, and has successfully been tested in animal surgery. #Robotics...
My health insurance accidentally coded my annual physical incorrectly, and now I have a $622 bill, and they have rejected my appeal even though they know it's in error. What a wonderful healthcare system we have 😚

Keller Rinaudo Cliffton from Zipline thought making the drones would be the hardest part. It was only 15% of the problem. The company spent 9 months figuring out delivery for one hospital. Weeks of all-nighters. Building inventory software in a...
One of the most remarkable things about 5-meo-DMT as an antidepressant is that the psychoactive experience is so brief. 10 minute peak, perhaps. 20 min total. And people seldom remember it well. Yet it has possibly the largest anti-depressant effect...
Bioengineers embedded soft, stretchable electronics into the tiny clusters to create “cyborg” organoids. These can mimic the pancreas, sensing glucose levels and releasing hormones. They could help build replacement cells for people with type 1 diabetes. https://spectrum.ieee.org/cyborg-stem-cell-therapy-for-diabetes
Clinicians don’t need more dashboards. They need insight. See what meaningful healthcare data sharing actually looks like 👇 https://t.co/62WYx0HnXu @PointClickCare #VBC #HITSM
The medical system thrives on your imposter syndrome. It is not a personal failing. It is a feature of your training. From medical school onward, physicians are conditioned to view uncertainty as dangerous. We are trained to find exactly how we do...

Smart piece by @FenitN about the rewriting of #Covid history. I would add this: A brand new virus meant health officials were making policy based on the info they had at the time, not what we know now. Policy shifts...

A decade ago, I used to think "I'm just a dietitian, I'm not a *real* member of the healthcare team that actually matters." Then I realized that I could be the best f*cking advocate my patients had ever had. And that...
This administration let Hewlett Packard Enterprise keep Juniper Networks, settled with Ticketmaster, and let Google keep Chrome. But healthcare keeps being the exception. The Federal Trade Commission's new Healthcare Task Force looks like the beginning of a coordinated enforcement apparatus...
Another day, another acquisition by drug wholesaler monopolist Cencora. This one is EyeSouth Partners's retina business for $1.1 billion. https://t.co/F6Cj1hXCzy
One of the biggest fears about healthcare's AI revolution is that AI can erode physicians’ expertise and their performance may drop when AI is removed. A new scoping review provides examples for that. In colonoscopy, the adenoma detection rate dropped significantly...
A thrill to be on @CBSMornings today talking AI and Healthcare (and about my book, "A Giant Leap") with @nateburleson & @DrLaPook. Interview is here: https://t.co/YJygJk0qh8
Is healthcare actually a market? According to Chris Klomp, RFK's No. 2 at HHS, the answer is: Not yet. I sat down with Chris and Jon Gordon to discuss how we turn technology into a "deflationary force" instead of a cost-adder. The...

As someone who lived in Vermont and still spends the summer there, it's disappointing to see the ambiguity in Pfizer's data on a new Lyme disease vaccine. It's a serious threat. Now we can move on to speculating on the...

The $PFE/ $VALN Lyme vaccine was a product for which there was a lot of hope. Results today show OK efficacy. Vaccine efficacy landed at 70%; investors hoped for 80% but thought as low as 60% would be relevant. But the...
