Addressing the Mental Health Crisis in Kids: Collaboration and Technology Are Key
The following is a guest article by Serrah Linares, Vice President of Partner Sales at Change Healthcare, and Rachel Mack Robinson, Founder and President at DotCom Therapy.
Children in America were increasingly struggling with mental health before COVID-19, but the pandemic compounded an already growing crisis. Today in the U.S., nearly one in five children experience a mental health disorder. What’s just as alarming is that for every five children with a mental health disorder, only one will receive treatment.
In October 2021, leading pediatric healthcare associations declared a national emergency in child and adolescen...

Better Living Through Better Design
BY KIM BELLARD
We’re almost two weeks past Hurricane Ian. Most of us weren’t in its path and so it just becomes another disaster that happened to other people, but to those people most impacted it is an ongoing challenge: over a hundred people dead, hundreds of thousands still without power, tens of thousands facing a housing crisis due to destroyed/damaged homes, and estimated $67b in damages. It will take years of rebuilding to recover.
In the wake of a natural disaster like a hurricane – or a tornado, a flood, even a pandemic – it’s easy to shrug our shoulders and say, well, it’s Mother Nature, wh...

San Diego Postdoctoral Scholars Program Enhances Diversity in Biomedical Research
“I’m most proud of how this program is truly impacting the diversity of academia by including individuals from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM and the biomedical research workforce,” says JoAnn Trejo, Ph.D., professor at University of California San Diego (UCSD) and director of San Diego’s Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA). The program, now in its 20th year of NIGMS funding, aims to train a diverse group of postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) for both the teaching and independent research aspects of a career as a professor in the biomedical sciences.

Some Historical Perspective on U.S. Fertility Decline
Vanessa Brown CalderOver the last decade and a half, fertility rates in the U.S. have declined from above‐replacement at the top of the Great Recession, to below replacement rate a few years later. Since then, fertility rates have continued along a downward trajectory.More recently, the total fertility rate —a measure of the expected number of children a woman will have if she survives her reproductive years, and a sum of age‐specific fertility rates—declined torecord lows (1.64) during the pandemic. In 2021, U.S. births ticked up enough to put birth rates inline with their pre ‐pandemic, downward ...

Difficulties navigating the health care system are causing many Black and brown kids to fall through the cracks
A recent JAMA Pediatrics study confirmed what I see in practice as a pediatric primary care psychologist in Texas, one of four minority-majority states. The study reported alarming gaps between Black and Hispanic kids compared to white kids in attendance at primary care wellness visits—important appointments where children and parents can receive preventative and developmental services, timely immunizations,

How Technology Can Help Overcome Barriers to Getting Effective Therapies into Patients with Ultra Rare Disorders
The following is a guest article by Dr. Zach Landman, Co-Founder of Moonshots for Unicorns.
As a physician who trained at UCSF, Harvard, and Stanford, I assumed that when my youngest daughter, Lucy – at 10-months old – was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic disorder of glycosylation called PGAP3, the answers would reside within a hospital or academic laboratory.
Unfortunately, my pediatrician wife and I were told that our smiling, seemingly healthy babbling 10-month-old baby would likely never walk normally, never talk, and was likely to develop severe and refractory seizures at some point in her childhood. ...

3 Reasons Why Patient Design Must Replace The Patient-Centricity Illusion
What is the difference between patient design and patient centricity? Why is the former a concept we need to embrace in the future of medicine, and why is it time to forget about the latter? These are the questions we examined in our latest paper published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, authored by The Medical Futurist Dr Bertalan Mesko and patient scholar Dave deBronkart – widely known as ePatient Dave.
Patient centricity has been the buzzword of the past two decades, especially often used in the 2010s, from pharma companies to healthcare providers, it was loudly advertised everywhere. As nice...

This article makes the case and explains what will be required to make it happen.We hear a lot about “digital health” these days. As data about our health piles up — thanks to sources like electronic health records, personal fitness apps and gadgets, and home genome test kits — weshould understand a lot more than we used to about what ’s wrong with our health and what to do about it. But having a lot of data is not enough. We have to be aware of what we have, understand what it means, and act on that understanding. While the challenges are in some ways more acute in the United States because of its fragmented sys...
