Empowering Stroke Survivors: Interview with Kirsten Carroll, General Manager at Kandu Health
Kandu Health, a digital health company based in California, has developed a platform to assist stroke survivors with aftercare. Healthcare for stroke patients is primarily focused on acute care to limit the damage caused by the stroke. However, the company has identified that stroke survivors are frequently underserved after hospital discharge, and in many cases are left to cope with the psychological and physical fallout of the stroke with minimal support.

Letting AI Physicians Into the Guild
BY KIM BELLARD
Let’s be honest: we’re going to have AI physicians.
Now, that prediction comes with a few caveats. It’s not going to be this year, and maybe not even in this decade. We may not call them “physicians,” but, rather, may think of them as a new category entirely. AI will almost certainly first follow its current path of become assistive technology, for human clinicians and even patients. We’re going to continue to struggle to fit them into existing regulatory boxes, like clinical decision support software or medical devices, until those boxes prove to be the wrong shape and size for ho...

What Would John Henry Rauch Do Today As A HIT Entrepreneur?
BY MIKE MAGEE
Health entrepreneurs today tend to give themselves very high grades, and seem surprised when their creations fall short of expectations due to a disconnect with funders or regulators with legal authority. But Medicine isn’t fair, and genius is not that common.
What other conclusion can you draw from the thousands of references and citations featuring Philadelphia physician Benjamin Rush and his wild ideas on how to heroically treat Yellow Fever in 1793, but likely never heard of Dr. John Henry Rauch. The former signed the Declaration of Independence but directly or indirectly contributed to many an un...

14 Ways the Tax Code Subsidizes Higher Education
Adam N. MichelThe federal government subsidizes higher education through a multitude of grants to universities, subsidized loans, and direct scholarship funding. In addition, the tax code includes at least 14 different programs that distort the education system and complicate tax filing. All told, the tax code subsidizes higher education to the tune of $322 billion over ten years.From an education policy perspective, the accumulation of all this federal spending has a distorting effect. Over time, the subsidies havelikelycontributed to thehigh price of college as subsidies increase demand, which drives up prices. This cycl...

SCOTUS Tackles Unconstitutional, and Unwise, Student Loan Cancelation
Clark Neily andNeal McCluskeyWhen President Bidenannounced that he would unilaterally cancel up to $20,000 of federal student debt for almost everyone holding any, he may have thought his action unstoppable. No one, he might have concluded, would have standing in court to block him. But the legal sailing hasn ’t been so smooth, with two courts finding that the plaintiffs had standing, and the U.S. Supreme Court set to hear their cases tomorrow. If the Supreme Court agrees that the plaintiffs have standing, Biden’s declaration is in big trouble, because it’s clearly unconstitutional.It ’s also terrible policy.Biden ...
