The Silent Clock in Your Arteries: Why Vascular Aging Is the Heart Health Crisis We're Missing We are living in an era of extraordinary innovation in heart health. Precision diagnostics. AI-guided therapies. Wearables that track everything from rhythm to recovery. And...
A pregnant woman may never walk into a clinic saying climate change is affecting her mental health. She may say she has not slept through the heat. She may say flooding made her miss an antenatal visit. She may say food costs have changed what she can feed her family....
Eli Lilly has switched on what it describes as the most powerful supercomputer ever owned and operated by a pharmaceutical company, and the implications for LillyPod drug discovery could reshape how medicines are found, tested, and delivered. Inaugurated in February...
For the past several years, the prevailing narrative in healthcare revenue cycle management has been straightforward: automate everything, reduce human touchpoints, and let artificial intelligence handle the complexity. The promise was compelling: faster claims...
When Eli Lilly signed a deal worth up to $2.75 billion with AI drug developer Insilico Medicine in March 2026, it was the latest in a cascade of nine-figure and ten-figure commitments from the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies to a single emerging technology....
The emergence of GLP-1 receptor agonists has fundamentally reshaped obesity treatment. For the first time, we are seeing consistent, clinically meaningful weight loss at scale, supported by robust clinical programs such as STEP and SURMOUNT (Wilding et al., 2021;...
The National Health Service (NHS) is investing heavily in diagnostics. Through Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) and the rollout of Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs), millions of patients are getting scans more quickly than ever[1]. The NHS 10 Year Plan has now...
Did you know that your erections can tell you more about your heart health than you might think? Nocturnal erections—those spontaneous erections that happen during sleep—are directly tied to vascular health. When a man stops having them, even for a short period of...
Are we mistaking associations for true biological origins? Despite significant advances in modern medicine, lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes continue to rise globally. These conditions are commonly described as “multifactorial,”...
For decades, longevity has been a frontier of scientific exploration, pushing the boundaries of what we believe is possible for human health and lifespan. While incremental progress has been made in understanding the biology of aging, we are now on the cusp of a new...
The application of agentic AI in life sciences reached a tipping point in 2025. Frameworks where specialized agents collaborate on tasks, sharing work, dividing problems, communicating with each other, went from an emerging topic to the predominant conversation. For...
Advances in microbiome science are occurring faster than our ability to apply these insights within complex human systems. While research has dramatically expanded what can be observed within the gut, translating these discoveries into meaningful improvements in...
Words To Begin At age 81, the author has lived a "life of letters" (perhaps three million words) addressing a wide variety of subjects during multiple careers: Systems Engineering (PhD at UCLA in 1976), Military Science (21 years on active duty, in high-tech...
In cardiology and diabetes, we no longer rely on single, in-clinic readings to diagnose complex conditions; instead, remote monitors are used to capture data over a period of time. We’ve seen that the standard of care across medicine is shifting from episodic...
Over the last decade, obesity management has undergone a structural transformation. What was once a field dominated almost exclusively by bariatric surgery has evolved into a far more nuanced metabolic discipline. The rise of GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual incretin...
For much of the history of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), technological advances have focused overwhelmingly on the egg and the embryo. Advances in ovarian stimulation protocols, time-lapse embryo imaging, genetic testing and cryopreservation have dramatically improved...
Have you considered what it means to have an FDA-approved, life-changing, medical product? It’s nothing short of amazing! However, let me add on to that question, have you considered what it means to have an FDA-approved, life changing, medical product WITHOUT a...
In high-performance populations — elite athletes, tactical operators, founders, executives under sustained cognitive load — resilience is typically framed in terms of cardiovascular output, muscular strength, mitochondrial density or hormonal optimisation. Yet one of...
