The Death of Death, in English
The authors of the Death of Death are regulars on the conference circuit for aging research, the longevity industry, and patient advocacy for the treatment of aging as a medical condition. The book was originally in Spanish, and has finally been translated into English.

The book and its authors also unapologetically and straightforwardly stand in opposition to the horr...

Who Could (Possibly) Be the Ideal “ Chief Patient Officer ” ? (And Other Ideas that Sound Better on Paper than in Practice)
By JONATHON S. FEIT
If ideas presented in essays on The Health Care Blog and other healthcare forums are meant to be rhetorical, without intention of turning notions into reality on behalf of patients who need genuine, intimate, desperate help…then feel free to ignore this essay entirely.
Some among us—the State of Washington’s Co-Responder Outreach Alliance; Lisa Fitzpatrick’s Grapevine Health, which specializes in “street medicine” and advocacy in and around Washington, D.C.; Thorne Ambulance Service, an inspirational ambulance entrepreneur bringing both emergency and nonemergency medical transpor...

What are Some of the Uses of AI Already Being Used in Healthcare?
Though we’ve talked about it quite extensively, artificial intelligence (AI) still sounds like something from a science fiction novel. This idea of futuristic and lifelike computers is only encouraged by the way that a lot of what we talk about in AI are possibilities. Ideal scenarios of how much our lives could be improved with AI. However, not all of AI is futuristic sci-fi. In fact, there is a lot of AI that is already being used in healthcare. To help keep us grounded in what is currently happening, at the CHIME 2023 Conference we talked to our wonderful Healthcare IT Today Community to hear their insights on som...

One could say that Amazon.com launched the modern computing era when it released Amazon Web Services more than 17 years ago.

Shippy, Amazon Web Services’ Clinical Innovation Lead for Healthcare and Senior Physician Executive at the AWS re:Invent conference.

CHIME23 – What ’ s a Problem, Technology, Opportunity, or Issue Not Enough People are Talking About?
The world of health IT is ever-changing. One moment a problem is unsolvable, the next a new technology has been created and solves the problem. One moment no one is talking about something, the next it is the hottest topic of the year. Or reversely, one moment we’re all talking about one topic, and the next we’ve left that topic in the dust as we all moved on to something new. Sometimes we even get hyper-focused on one topic, forgetting to expand our vision to the many technicalities that are needed to properly support the topic. But just like the other scenarios, that can change on the flip of a coin where all...
