They have no choice really. This technology is here and increasingly being used by patients. Interestingly, the same technology is being used by physicians and healthcare organizations, but the two world do not intersect. This will also come.

I think it’s symbiotic: patients shape the technologies as they adopt the technologies. The next evolutions, already begun, are in #genAI and #agenticAI, which #epatients are already began to leverage to help them better understand their health, health records, & to help w/ diagnosis & navigation.

Heartbreaking panel at #STATSummit about what has happening and *is still* happening to @NIH, formerly the envy of the world, as brilliant scientists and critical programs and grants are being terminated. I am sad and angry. #cruelty #arewegreatyet

Excellent article. As a physician and public health advocate, it makes me angry that we have an ignorant science denier heading Health and Human Services.
