Generative AI for Mental Wellness: Balancing the Potential, Cybersecurity, and Ethics
This article is solely the opinions of Srija and Aryyama and is in no way representative of the viewpoints of their employers. Mental health is one of the major challenges in today’s digitally-driven world.

What Should You Think About When Migrating Existing Healthcare Systems and Applications to the Cloud?
Moving is a very daunting task. The longer you live somewhere the more stuff you have to pack up into boxes and then unpack in your new place. And you’ve kept this stuff for so long that you’re attached to it and don’t want to get rid of anything. Moving your organization to a new system is just the same. All of your data and information is stored away in other systems and applications. And while those systems and applications may not be perfect, your staff have used them for so long that they’re used to them and might be resistant to change. Tragically, for both moving in our own lives and moving o...

Believe it or not
 I ' m gifting Krugthulu ' s column today, which tells the amazing truth about our new Speaker of the House. Do read, but just for starters:Much of the reporting on [Mike] Johnson has, understandably, focused on his role in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Let me say, by the way, that the widely used term “election denial” is a euphemism that softens and blurs what we’re really talking about. Trying to keep your party in power after it lost a free and fair election, without a shred of evidence of significant fraud, isn’t just denial; it’s a betrayal of democracy.There has also been considera...

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...

Breathalyzers, Breathomics And Exhalomics In The Digital Health Age
Most of us might take the breathing process for granted; after all it is an autonomous process that we only really start noticing when something about it is off. However, respiratory diseases are among the major causes of fatalities worldwide. The WHO estimates that by 2030, such conditions will be responsible for one in five deaths. As the signs of declining respiratory health or factors that influence it can be subtle, an array of digital health technologies and approaches have come to address such issues. Along with those innovations, new terminologies such as smart breathalyzers, breathomics and exhalome have entere...

Navigating subpoenas and EHR integration
What do you do if you get an administrative or court subpoena to produce “all” medical records on one or more patients?

Health > Care, Border Runs
November will mark the beginning of the 24th year of this blog.  While my posts are far from frequent, I hope that each one is helping others in some way.  That’s always been my goal.  Along these lines, I’ll offer the answer to a question I was asked by a start-up health IT company yesterday, and will also outline the process for the Costa Rica ==> Nicaragua ==> Costa Rica border run, which is both necessary and relatively easy.   Health > Care “Dr. Reider – why are you interested / willing to help out little company?”Some context – and then my response.  (After – ...
