How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit. Let me show you in detail how primary care should be carried out in the future!
Digital health should become an organic part of primary care in the future
I live a fairly healthy life. I use data to improve my lifestyle and to make better decisions by optimising my sleep pattern, my physical, my cognitive or my emotional abilities; and I had several genetic tests....

EEG Headset Could Spot Early Alzheimer ’s Disease
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have developed a technique that may spot the very early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, years before symptoms arise. The method may alert patients and clinicians to an increased risk of the disease, potentially allowing them to take steps to slow the disease progression. The method involves using a simple EEG headband while sleeping. The researchers have identified EEG signatures in aging adults that may indicate early Alzheimer’s pathology. These EEG phenomena relate to memory reactivation that occurs during sleep, and may reveal aspects of early-stage Al...

My Piccolo
Stefano likes to keep a note of anniversaries, birthdays, and other important events, but sometimes I would really prefer not to be reminded of certain dates. This morning, for example, as I was checking my phone calendar, which I share with Stefano, I saw that six years ago today we had Piccolo, our extraordinary and much beloved 14-year-old male cat, put to sleep.
It hit me…tears…grief…
No matter how much time goes by, it is still hard…
But no, I don’t want to remember the period around Piccolo’s death, or, even less, the terrible day he died, one of the worst in my life. I want to r...

Insomnia: The Multibillion-Dollar Problem Sapping World Productivity
From the doctor ' s office to the office at work, good sleep is often overlooked as a key part of well-being. We pay for that. Chronic insomnia reduces the U.S. economy by more than $200 billion every year. Other major economies also forgo tens of billions of dollars in lost productivity. (Source: The RAND Blog)

Continuous work coverage in health care: challenges and solutions
Two scourges of 24 x 7 x 365 coverage may be lost on-the-job sleep and soured on-the-job peace for workers, especially for health care workers.

Intermittent Fasting Reduces Pathology in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
The sizable body of work produced on calorie restriction and fasting over the last twenty years is supportive of the hypothesis that time spent hungry is an important factor determining the scale of benefits to health and longevity. The cellular response to a transient lack of nutrients involves improved cell maintenance, such as upregulation of autophagy to clear out damaged and worn molecular machinery. Looking at a level of organization above the cell, a transient state of hunger likely produces many other benefits to the way in which complex tissues and relationships between tissues function in the body. It dampens inf...

Let ’ s Start Over
BY KIM BELLARD
When I first read the reports about some Silicon Valley billionaires wanting to start a new city, I figured, oh, it’s just a bunch of rich white guys wanting to take their toys and go to a new, better home. After all, they’ve seen what’s been happening to downtown San Francisco (or Portland, or Chicago – pick your preferred city).
Cities these days may be an what one expert calls an “urban doom loop” – struggling to recover after having been hollowed out by the pandemic. These so-called elites probably figured it’s easier to build something new rather than to try to fix what already ...

The Importance of Patient Portal Usability
The following is a guest article by Dr. Bruce Bassi, Advisory Board Member at CharmHealth
Most patients have almost certainly received an invitation to join their electronic medical record communication system, or portal for their particular doctor’s office. Clinicians have their own opinions about medical record systems, but what about patients?
Typically, users log into their portal with one specific purpose, then log off, and do not wish to spend too much time engaging in a health portal system. If the system is too cumbersome or difficult to use, it would reduce engagement and not achieve its intended purpose. The pr...
