💊💻 Behavioural science-informed electronic health record alerts support primary care physicians in deprescribing high‑risk medications. I'm thankful for the opportunity to contribute to this trial. Congrats to Julie Lauffenburger, Niteesh Choudhry & the rest of the team. I learned so much from you.

So glad to have had the opportunity to present our work on digital tools for medication management and optimization in Swiss primary care settings at #EuGMS2025 in Reykjavík. I don't think I ever presented at a venue with such a breathtaking view - and yes, there was even a rainbow! 🌈

Ever wonder if underrepresented populations exist in the deprescribing literature ❓ After all, the results of deprescribing studies are only as generalizable as the populations of older adults that they include! Check out a great read from @katharinajungo.bsky.social 's team: buff.ly/pTckWmT
