Key Cybersecurity Defenses for the Healthcare Sector
The following is a guest article by Sam Manjarres, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Identity Security at WatchGuard The healthcare industry is increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals.

Why It Is Important To Understand Multimodal Large Language Models In Healthcare
The future of medicine is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Although this revolution has been brewing for years, the past few months marked a major change, as algorithms finally moved out of the specialized labs and into our daily lives. The public debut of Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT which became the fastest-growing consumer application of all time, has been a roaring success. LLMs are machine learning models trained on a vast amount of text data which enables them to understand and generate human-like text based on the patterns and structures they̵...

Leaving medicine behind: a quest for purpose and well-being
In April of 2022, I decided to leave medicine after 18 years of practice, 13 of which were spent working with electronic medical records. During my final visit with a patient and her husband, as I informed them of my decision to retire from medicine, I noticed a peculiar look on the husband’s face.

Expanding Healthcare ’s Reach on the Edge
This article focuses on ways to take advantage of cloud solutions on the edge. Digital Transformation Equals A Lot of Data Technology is being used in new and interesting ways in healthcare.

The Goal of RPM is Management, Not Monitoring
The following is a guest article by Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD, Founder and CEO at Rimidi Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a key capability in healthcare, particularly as we have seen multiple factors align in recent years: advances in medical device technology, decreased cost of cellular connectivity, new reimbursement models, and consumer demand that accelerated during the pandemic.

Digital Front Doors: Unlocking Healthcare ’ s New Frontier
Digital front door solutions are a growing phenomenon in healthcare. The topic caught my attention a while ago when I stumbled upon a study discussing how a new concept – the digital front door – could address the challenges the primary care system faces in the UK. With my curiosity piqued, I decided to dive deeper into this topic. As this is a concept I have encountered increasingly often and one that’s changing the way we access healthcare services, I recently created a short video attempting to define this trend in less than one minute. But as this phenomenon will have profound effects on the future...

‘ Women ’ s pain ’ – not just ‘ women ’ s pain ’

Women and female animals don’t have the same biological system for processing nociception. Men are told ‘don’t be a girl’ about their pain. Women are told they ‘look too good’ to be experiencing pain. Women don’t get taken seriously when they ask for help with their pain &#...
