Few ideas in modern medicine are as unsettling as the prospect of a “post-antibiotic era.” For decades, antibiotics have underpinned infection control, transforming once-lethal diseases into manageable conditions. Yet their effectiveness is steadily eroding....
The wearable health technology market has expanded at a pace that regulators, clinicians, and patients have struggled to keep up with. Smartwatches, adhesive biosensors, continuous glucose monitors, and cardiac patches are now part of the fabric of daily life for...
Not long ago, I spoke with a colleague, a mother named Kelley who has spent the past two years asking a question that increasingly reflects a broader challenge in oncology: If technologies exist to detect cancer earlier, why aren’t we dedicating more effort to support...
By 6:45 AM, the dashboard is already waiting. A longevity physician sits down with coffee and reads what the monitoring agent assembled overnight: a falling seven-day HRV trend in a patient recovering from a viral illness, a queued statin titration for a...
Precision medicine has been positioned as one of the most promising evolutions in modern healthcare. Gene panels. Liquid biopsies. Microbiome-targeted therapies. Multi-omics integration. The premise is compelling: the more precisely we can characterize biological...
The Evolving Definition of Health Literacy In August 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its definition of health literacy, emphasizing the ability to use health information effectively (CDC). This shift highlights that merely...
The first smartphone-native generation expects fundamentally different things from digital health and retrofitting won't work Gen Alpha (born roughly between 2010 and 2024) is the first generation to grow up entirely in a world where smartphones, AI assistants, and...
While oncology has historically relied on a "Hospital-as-Hub" model, the specific logistical demands of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) are revealing its limitations. The decentralized outpatient model is emerging as a significant industry trend, demonstrating that...
For decades, innovation in life sciences followed a familiar path: lab discovery, clinical testing, regulatory approval, market release. It was linear. Predictable. Slow. What’s happening now feels different. The most significant shift isn’t a single breakthrough...
Pregnancy, the Brain, and the Nervous System: A Holistic Perspective on Perinatal Mental Health Pregnancy is often framed as a joyful milestone, yet from a clinical and neurobiological standpoint, it is one of the most significant periods of transformation a human...
Australians are making some of their most important healthcare decisions based on information that was never designed to carry that weight. For most Australians, searching for health information online and accessing test results digitally is already routine. Around 90...
The science of longevity has never been more active. With advances in preventive medicine and digital health, as well as new insights into lifestyle, environment, drug therapies and genetics, there is more research available than ever on how people age and live well....
NIH Scientists Pioneer “Digital Twin” of Eye Cells: A New Frontier in Treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration In a landmark achievement for computational biology and ophthalmology, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have announced the development...
As more people turn to AI tools and online algorithms for diet and weight-loss advice, doctors are warning that this growing reliance may be overlooking critical health risks. Doctors stress that AI-generated information should never replace personalised medical...
As a researcher studying how people interact with large language models (LLMs), and as a clinician trained at the master’s level in clinical psychology, I keep seeing the same pattern in fertility and reproductive contexts. People rarely turn to AI only for...
Today, oncology drug development continues to experience the highest attrition rates across therapeutic areas[1]. Despite major advances in molecular profiling and biomarker-driven strategies, a significant proportion of oncology clinical trials still fail, often due...
A New Energy-Centered Model of Metabolic Disease For decades, sugar has been framed as a problem of excess. Too many calories. Too many insulin spikes. Too much sweetness in the modern diet. That framing has shaped public health guidance, food reformulation, and...
Cera, Europe’s largest digital-first home healthcare provider, has announced a global real-world evidence (RWE) partnership with Promptly Health, focused on the over-65s, to accelerate drug development and enable precision medicine. The partnership integrates Cera’s...
