At 3,500+ Blackwell chips, Roche is building the "largest announced hybrid-cloud AI factory" in biopharma with Nvidia: https://t.co/99Eih7EnRD
R1 starts up with $78M, aiming for a better kidney drug https://t.co/PQQjX47ODM by @gwendolynawu #biotecjh #startups
Sleeping sickness could be wiped out with this new drug: my comments @NPR @NPRGlobalHealth https://t.co/T0mAeX8P0A
Women spend an estimated $4,700 more per year in out-of-pocket healthcare costs than men, for conditions that often go undiagnosed for a decade. Who built this system and who did they build it for?
Where's the obituary for the millions of poor Indians who were forcibly sterilized by international programs directly inspires by Ehrlich's work? Or would that story be "premature"?
Why do women account for nearly 2/3rd of all cases of Alzheimer's disease? A new, thorough review @jclinicalinvest, open-access, on its origins in midlife. https://t.co/obITwhEiYG https://t.co/RXBffM9jKV
An estimated 30 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. GLP-1 medications are producing weight loss at a scale we haven’t seen before. A 20% loss makes apnea 53% less severe. Something that doesn’t get enough attention: sleep is a metabolic intervention....
i got an elective mammogram earlier this year (im 31). they found something concerning before we knew what it was: "thank god you came in early" after we (thankfully) found out it was benign, same doctor: "you really shouldn't be getting...
Kennedy childhood vaccine overhaul stalled by judge The next meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was scheduled for this week, but has been postponed due to the ruling https://t.co/0cUIXEVgyV
A big — if preliminary — win for #AAP and pro- #vaccine policy today. A court has ruled Robert Kennedy's reconstitution of #ACIP and his department's rewriting of the childhood vaccination schedule are likely illegal. Developing story. https://t.co/0lMSGQrayz
2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association https://t.co/YToJnO22Zx
AI can read the chart. But it can’t read the room. Today a patient’s story revealed something the algorithm didn’t flag. The future of medicine isn’t AI vs doctors. It’s Blended Intelligence, or “BI.” We need both. More in the video below 👇 https://t.co/7iwPleaAJD

I did placenta encapsulation with my first baby due to my prior midwife's recommendation, but I no longer do it or recommend it. Here's why. The only placebo-controlled trials on it (UNLV) found no meaningful benefit for mood, fatigue, bonding, or iron...
FDA commissioner Makary at a CMS conference today in Baltimore calls for “big and different” IRB reforms to catch China's speedy trial starts - pre-IND phase can run 380 days in the US, he said, while China is pushing for...
Medical Research Is Hopelessly Caught in Red Tape. Part of the blame goes to "bioethics," which I've long argued is highly unethical. https://t.co/6tF016elEH
I'm not going to comment on the specific stats here because I haven't read the book yet and some of these numbers need more context. But the broader point matters. Women deserve full transparency before making a decision that costs $15-20K...
HIMSS had a cat pit, a robot hand on someone's head, and an AI announcement from basically every vendor alive. But we liked other subtler stories: @HeyEpic soft-launching a pharmacy network product that perhaps could eventually take on @Surescripts, a...
Doctors who take their time with each patient >>>> I know it can depend on their schedule, but our pediatrician took 45 minutes with us and it was so helpful
AI, strong on details, and tantalizingly close to curing cancer? Sobering to still see examples like these regularly.
« @RadNetImaging CEO Howard Berger, MD, said it has become increasingly critical to #reengineer high-volume #workflows. This is particularly pertinent in X-ray, ultrasound and mammography, where @gleamer_ai holds expertise. » 👌 🚀 https://t.co/wSqNyHlkXj

The U.S. still plays “Where’s Waldo?” with provider data. @HeyEpic ’s new concept paper lays out how CMS and partners can build a real-time, API-driven national directory. 🌐 https://t.co/URsJiyAhMm #Interoperability #FHIR #HealthIT #DigitalHealth #HITSM
The era of digital biology, exemplified by making a bespoke and effective vaccine for cancer in a dog, is taking off. Access to the AI-Coscientist. A new feature @NatureMedicine https://t.co/AR9lqne7E1
Actually yes. The placenta has been used in medicine for over 100 years. The amniotic membrane is used in eye surgery for corneal reconstruction. It's used as a graft for burn treatment and wound healing. It's used in dental and orthopedic...

Just weeks ago we didn't know that mutant clones of our aged blood stem cells could be linked to expansion of an aortic aneurysm. No less how. And so much more https://t.co/YuEmJPkdg2 https://t.co/qQq2dgAfWf
Sarepta tests new Elevidys safeguards; Sana advances diabetes cell therapy https://t.co/hkixuANCCV $SRPT $SANA $INO $BAYRY #biotech
It’s incredibly hard to see through the current AI hype in healthcare. To facilitate that, I have mapped the rapidly expanding universe of AI use cases in healthcare from early-stage “on the horizon” innovations to “safe bets” that are already backed...
Pretty impressive data from $gpcr, which remains my favorite ticker. Structure's obesity pill shows weight loss promise in Phase 2 trial https://t.co/T0JU2UuftY
The irony I find myself returning to is that MRI technology has not made us better diagnosticians. It has, in many cases, made us worse ones, because the image is so concrete and the language of the report so authoritative...

It seems inevitable that medical robots will be used across the healthcare spectrum: from taking blood samples and moving medications around in a hospital to surgeries and pharmacy automations. But can dentistry be the next? A medical specialty in which...
Continuous glucose monitors accuracy depends on the device, the situation and the individual. In this blog we explain the key concepts behind CGM accuracy and the terms you need to understand before interpreting the data. https://t.co/qSpsLY4al8
I’m gobsmacked by how bad this article is. I could tell before I looked at the authors credentials that they don’t have any background in health policy and I was right… And look, I’m not even mad at Kelly, it isn’t...

I think we're about to see a massive rise in new type of rare disease patient and parent. Someone that knows that treatments/cures are possible but they have to push against the broken system with AI/Biotech themselves. The system DOESN'T want to...

Three new data breach class actions against @HeyEpic landed Friday in the Western District of Wisconsin, all claiming data breach against the company and a variety of its health system customers. The twist: the complaints cite Epic's own lawsuit against...
Healthcare site selection starts with the wrong question. "How much space do we need?" matters. But patient access, demoraphics, parking ratios, building infrastructure, and referral proximity matter more. The variables that actually determine if a location succeeds.
