Y2Q and You
By KIM BELLARD
Chances are, you’ve at least somewhat concerned about your privacy, especially your digital privacy. Chances are, you’re right to be. Every day, it seems, there are more reports about data beeches, cyberattacks, and selling or other misuse of confidential/personal data. We talk about privacy, but we’re failing to adequately protect it. But chances are you’re not worried nearly enough.
Y2Q is coming.
That is, I must admit, a phrase I had not heard of until recently. If you are of a certain age, you’ll remember Y2K, the fear that the year 2000 would cause computers ev...

Aspects of Social Determinants of Health: Specific Types of Help
This is the final article in a series about social determinants of health (SDoH). Previous articles covered the definition, collection, sharing, and use of SDoH. I’ll finish with a look at some specific areas of intervention.
We’ve seen the importance of personal interventions, through interviews and evaluating SDoH, to solve problems. In rural areas, where it might be daunting either to travel to a doctor or to schedule an online visit with poor Internet access, home visits fill the gap. Conduit Health Partners is one organization that does so. A patient can speak to a nurse immediately—as opposed to calling...

Digital Health Anxiety: When Wellness Tech Becomes A Stressor
In today’s hyper-connected world, technology promises us a clearer insight into our health and well-being. With a glance at our wrist or a quick tap on our phones, we can get a snapshot of our heart rate, the quality of our sleep, or the number of steps we’ve taken in a day. These tools, designed to empower us, can sometimes have an unintended consequence: they can become sources of anxiety and stress.
Lacing up your running shoes, you head out for a morning run. Looking forward to feeling the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, to enjoying the time to connect with nature and yourself. But the real-time...

Aspects of Social Determinants of Health: An Introduction
It’s always been pretty obvious that factors such as wealth, race, education, and the quality of food and water have enormous impacts on health. But only in the past few years have the medical professions tried to quantify and capture these factors. Given that the field is increasingly digitized and data-driven, health IT is responsible for collecting and analyzing social determinants of health (SDoH). Data can both call out SDoH and help to address its effects.
An example of calling out SDoH was cited by Dr. Sherri Onyiego, Medical Director for the Texas Market at Equality Health. They use claims data to track use o...

Out of Control Health Costs or a Broken Society
Flawed Accounting for the US Health Spending Problem
By Jeff Goldsmith
Source: OECD, Our World in Data
Late last year, I saw this chart which made my heart sink. It compared US life expectancy to its health spending since 1970 vs. other countries. As you can see, the US began peeling off from the rest of the civilized world in the mid-1980’s. Then US life expectancy began falling around 2015, even as health spending continued to rise. We lost two more full years of life expectancy to COVID. By the end of 2022, the US had given up 26 years-worth of progress in life expectancy gains. Adding four more ...

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. In 2022, as cyberattacks globally rose by 38% year-on-year, healthcare became the third-most-attacked industry (behind government and education), recording an increase of 74% and reporting up to 1,463 incidents per week. Unsurprisingly, a recent Gartner Peer Insights survey – Cybersecurity in the Healthcare Industry – also showed that nearly half of participating healthcare organizations have experienced a data breach in th...

Altman, Ive, and AI
BY KIM BELLARD
Earlier this year I urged that we Throw Away That Phone, arguing that the era of the smartphone should be over and that we should get on to the next big thing. Now, I don’t have any reason to think that either Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Jony Ive, formerly and famously of Apple and now head of design firm LoveFrom, read my article but apparently they have the same idea.
Last week The Information and then Financial Times reported that OpenAi and LoveFrom are “in advanced talks” to form a venture in order to build the “iPhone of artificial intelligence.” Softbank may fund the venture ...
