The Advantages, Challenges, and Costs of Healthcare at Home Services
Switching to fully remote operations during the pandemic was a rushed adventure into what was mostly uncharted territory. There were a lot of challenges and bugs to work out, but there were also plenty of advantages and unforeseen benefits. And it is thanks to those advantages and benefits that healthcare at home is continuing, even as there are still challenges to work on and in-person operations return. While our first big push into remote care was a leap into the unknown, this time we want to make sure that we are surveying the landscape to make this a safe, smart, and financially responsible decision.
So let’s ta...

Predicting the Order of Arrival of the First Rejuvenation Therapies
It has been going on eight years since I last speculated on the order of arrival of the first rejuvenation therapies. Tempus fugit, and time for an updated version! Eight years is a long enough span of time for the first of those rejuvenation therapies to now exist, albeit in a prototypical form, arguably proven in principle but not concretely. The world progresses but my biases remain much the same: the first rejuvenation therapies to work well enough to merit the name will be based on the SENS vision, that aging is at root caused by a few classes of accumulated cell and tissue damage, and biotechnologies that either repa...

Fever!!!
My faithful nurses (of course, Stefano was number ONE)…
I’m usually soooo careful when I leave the house…If I’m going to be in a crowded situation, such as a supermarket, I pull out and wear an FFP2 mask. I don’t shake hands or kiss anyone, even my closest friends. They all know and respect that…
But on Sunday, March 10, I let down my guard, unfortunately. We went to a friend’s house, and when we left, I gave her a hug, just as she was telling me that she didn’t feel that great (Margaret, duh!). We pulled apart, but the damage was done. The following day she came down with a ...

Challenging patients and the art of empathy
On a fine afternoon, my nurse came in and gave me a heads-up. “Doctor, the next one’s a bit of a handful. Made a fuss scheduling, complained about her old doctor endlessly at reception … doesn’t seem like a picnic.” I smiled reassuringly, reminding her (and myself) that non-judgmental care is the cornerstone of medicine.

Discern Health Ties Interventions to Patient Improvements
Paulo Pinho, MD, Chief Medical and Strategy Officer at Discern Health, highlighted to us that analytics have to be explainable to be trusted. It’s not enough to show a correlation, but to demonstrate that the clinical intervention was responsible for the improved patient outcome. Patients as well as clinicians demand explainability (also known as transparency and accountability).
Ben Hsieh, Vice President of Product, says that Discern Health works with payers, providers, and Health Information Exchanges (HIE). Their service concentrates currently on care management for value-based care.

Empowering Frontline Leaders Using Technology to Create Change
One thing that’s amazing about technology is that it can help improve a wide variety of problems. Not that technology is always the answer, but technology has the ability to impact everything that’s done in healthcare. In fact, in many cases technology is the only solution that can scale to the problems of healthcare.
That’s what we found at the Co-working with Tech session at the ViVE 2024 conference. This session included a great discussion by Tanya Content, System VP of Talent at UNC Health and Russ Richmond, CEO and Co-Founder at Laudio’s platform for frontline leaders. In the session, t...

Wait Till Health Care Tries Dynamic Pricing
By KIM BELLARD
Nice try, Wendy’s. During an earnings call last month, President and CEO Kirk Tanner outlined the company’s plan to try a new form of pricing: “Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and day-part offerings along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling.”
None of the analysts on the call questioned the statement, but the backlash from the public was immediate — and quite negative. As Reuters described it: “the burger chain was scorched on social media sites.”
Less than two weeks later Wendy’s backtracked – e...
