Climate tech stands at a defining crossroads of success. On one side are the innovators protecting the essentials of human survival: clean water, breathable air, fertile soil. On the other side are companies developing technologies that keep the modern, data-driven economy functioning, such as renewable energy for manufacturing, cooling systems for massive computing structures, sustainable […]
Access to cardiac care remains one of the most pressing, yet overlooked, crises in global health. In the United States, nearly half of all counties have no practicing cardiologist. In rural regions, that number climbs to a staggering 86 percent. The consequences are predictable yet devastating: delayed diagnoses, missed opportunities for early intervention, and rising […]
When Federal systems stall, people’s lives don’t pause. The government shutdown has threatened the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative and one of the unsung pillars of public health. Courts have ordered the administration to keep benefits flowing using contingency funds, but those reserves fall far short of what’s needed. The […]
Every industry has its signature gatherings, places where thought leaders assemble to shape the next wave of innovation. For those leading in health, life sciences and biotech, two conferences stand apart: CNS Summit in Boston and the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. While they could not be more different in scale and intimacy, both […]
I have traveled to Ukraine nearly 20 times. Each visit deepens my respect for how people in conflict endure. This year, as I journeyed from Chisinau, in neighboring Moldova, to Uman in central Ukraine, I witnessed the paradox: life unfolding as if ordinary, even as war pressed in on every side. Markets bustled, cafés were […]
Medicaid is one of America’s most complex and essential Federal health programs, serving more than 70 million people. Its design, Federal standards, and state-level administration make it a political and operational tightrope. When Federal policy changes, state leaders must adapt quickly, often without the resources or clarity needed to determine next steps. Behind the policy […]
Twenty-five months ago, I wrote for Medika Life after yet another school shooting shook the nation. My plea then was simple but searing: let lawmakers witness what first responders see when they enter a classroom turned crime scene—the chaos, the quiet after the sirens, the grief of parents confronting the unimaginable. I believed then, as […]
Craig Martin is a strategic chameleon in health innovation. He is equally at home in boardrooms, nonprofit leadership, consulting and advisory roles, all with one guiding force: bringing science closer to patients. My Health Unabashed interview (airing August 11th) with him underscored that every step of his career has been purpose‑driven. From Communications Strategist to Purpose-Built […]
[Reprinted with permission by By Light-it, in collaboration with Digital Health Insider] We are a species enamored with technology. I count myself among the early adopters who eagerly embraced gadgets promising to reshape how we live and heal. I owned an Apple Newton decades before smartphones became second nature. I strapped on a Fitbit long […]
Here at the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum, held in Brooklyn—long a gateway for immigration and innovation—the gathering has become more than just a platform to explore the intersection of “artificial intelligence” and human health. The gathering serves as a reminder of a deeper truth: science and human progress are fueled by global collaboration, and […]
