Sometimes interoperability can seem abstract. But it has a real impact on patients. Re-sharing @morgan_gleason’s story about a mistake in her medical record that could have impacted her care of she hadn’t spotted it early https://t.co/0uYwGKgTcv

Thoughts as I sit in a waiting room for annual checkup: even using @Zocdoc, the intake process is still far from user friendly. Curious what major barriers are - privacy/security concerns from the provider, tech integration resources?

It’s here! Apple just launched a new medical research app. Super interesting given Apple Heart Study enrollment (400,000+) https://t.co/Nq54ywyyIF

Can't tell if Apple picked the best week or the worst to roll out the Research app.

Privacy is top of mind, so maybe less willingness to share data with a tech co? But it also shows how a consent process can be done, vs. how Google approached its relationship with Ascension.

[Sarah Kunkle @sareve]

Yes!

Modern clinical trials need to embrace the wave of sensors that enable us to learn how therapies are affecting patients between trial visits

Lots cool new endpoints like sleep monitoring, gait, itch, etc. which matters for quality of life

I was a big fan of the potential for e-cigarettes to help people quit smoking real cigarettes. I loved the concept of harm reduction but this story (and many others) suggest that these things may be even more addictive and have fewer barriers to use than conventional cigarettes

@DarrellWhite @chrissyfarr @aaronc can I get you to weigh in here 🤓

I think #vaping deserves a lot of scrutiny, but this case of @nytimes reporting feels really weak - labeling it as "the sole reason" for death of an older patient with COPD and afib. Hope the subsequent episodes are stronger https://t.co/AECLEL8sso

“If you wake up on a Casper mattress, work out with a Peloton, Uber to your desk at a WeWork, order DoorDash for lunch, take a Lyft home, and get dinner via Postmates, you’ve interacted with 7 companies that will collectively lose ~ $14 billion this year” https://t.co/jHemjHM1pX

Yesterday, @chrissyfarr quoted me in a story on Peloton’s IPO. The quote — “We’ve inadvertently designed a society where it’s hard to be healthy. So many of the solutions aren’t available to most people” — puzzled many people, so I wanted to explain what I meant. Here goes:

For this weekend’s column, I surveyed and gathered data from the largest telemedicine companies about their “super users.”

Across the board, it’s moms.
