Dr. Daniel Ranch of @UTHealthSA shares why transplant legacy matters. 💙

[Pete Poullos, MD @PetePoullos]

Alice, I only got to speak with you on one occasion, but I learned so much. You encouraged us to always look at healthcare through a disability justice lens, and I hope we can live up to that aspiration.

[Stanford SMADIE @StanfordSMADIE]

We are so sad to see you go, Alice. Such a huge loss for our community and humankind. We learned a great deal discussing how disability justice can improve healthcare access for disabled patients. Thank you for your advocacy for disabled patients.

🙂 So proud of our @MayoClinicNeph fellow Ben Bizer, my mentee, for presenting our oral presentation at the World Transplant Congress 2025 in San Francisco! #WTC2025
#proudmentor 😃

Our important work highlights how artificial intelligence can be used to assess and improve public-facing information on kidney donation—an essential step toward increasing living donor engagement. #AI #Transplantation @ATCMeeting @AST_info @ttsorg

Key Points:
• 🤖 AI-powered analysis of the top 10 Google-ranked kidney donation websites (Feb 2025) assessed sentiment, readability, and interactivity.
• 💬 Positive sentiment dominated, with additional tones identified as neutral, educational, supportive, and cautionary.
• 📚 Readability concerns: Content averaged a 10th–12th grade reading level, well above the recommended 6th–8th grade for public health materials.
• 🌎 Limited language access: Only 5 websites offered Spanish-language content, underscoring gaps in health equity.
• 🖥️ Low user engagement: Minimal interactivity and limited integration of embedded patient narratives reduced emotional connection and usability.
• ✅ Content was medically accurate, but often not optimized for digital health literacy or user experience.
• 🚀 Recommendations:
• Simplify language for broader accessibility
• Expand multilingual content
• Enhance interactivity and integrate storytelling
• Address readability and equity in digital health communication

No one is talking about the impact of multi year funding. First, this provides no oversight and accountants. Second, this will effectively cut the number of grants by 75-80%. The impact of this cannot be overstated.
