Focused to a fault: Medical education and how it holds us hostage from living well
One of the head-scratchers about American culture is that anxiety, depression, unwanted weight gain, and a soaring prevalence of lifestyle diseases clearly plague our society. Yet, the primary metric we use to measure our country’s “success,” GDP, doesn’t even account for this suffering. Society has a variety of needs that must be met to be truly successful, not

How Will IoT and AI Transform the Patient-Doctor Relationship?
The following is a guest article by Thomas Serval, CEO and Founder of Baracoda.
Healthcare has never been an easy topic to discuss. Whether you’re at the doctor’s office or in the comfort of your home, talking about your health can be overwhelming. Most of us don’t enjoy going to the doctor. The anxiety of a doctor finding something wrong or being embarrassed to ask questions are some of the reasons why people prefer to get in and out at appointments. Coupled with primary care physicians spending a little more than 15 minutes with their patients, there isn’t enough time to discuss concerns or take a deep look at a...

Three Ways Enterprise Visibility and Automation Benefit Staff and the Patient Experience
The following is a guest article by Scott Hondros, Vice President of Professional Services at CenTrak.
It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention. This theory has been tested within the healthcare industry over the last few years as the COVID-19 pandemic aligned with, and expedited, the retirement of many employees in the Baby Boomer generation. Nearly 29 million Baby Boomers retired in 2020, three and a half million more than in 2019. While their increased retirement has been anticipated, the associated timing compounded staffing challenges within the healthcare industry and left leadership seeking soluti...

Explosions and anxiety: Adult special needs life is a tough haul
My 26yo son, " #1 " , is pretty solidly in the 3-4th (bottom) percentile of cognitive abilities. It ' s a cognitive continuum of course; what ' s true of the 3rd percentile can also be true of the 10th or the 20th -- especially when lack of sleep or alcohol is involved. So this isn ' t just about special needs adults. It ' s something useful to understand for tens of millions of Americans.The other day he exploded. No harm came of it, except to him. It ' sa behavior we ' ve known from childhood though it ' s only with time we came to understand how closely tied it is to his anxiety.It happened during an ice hockey gam...

If a rose is a rose by any other name, how should we study treatment processes in pain management & rehabilitation?
A new instalment in my series about intensive longitudinal studies, aka ecological momentary assessment (and a host of other names for methods used to study daily life in real time in the real world).
Daily life is the focus of occupational therapy – doing what needs to be done, or a person wants to do, in everyday life. It’s complex because unlike a laboratory (or a large, well-controlled randomised controlled trial) daily life is messy and there is no way to control all the interacting factors that influence why a person does what they do. A technical term for the processes involved is microtemporality, o...

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot, a language model, in fact. You feed it a line and it comes right back at you with a retort. Feed it the right line and it will write you a sonnet or a limerick, a few more lines with the right prompt and it will analyse a piece of prose, you can then ask it to generate a new piece of prose on a different topic with the same tone, style...
