#DigitalHealth is reshaping cardiovascular care, but are we solving the right problems? Without equity, usability, and real-world evidence, innovation risks widening gaps. The future of #CVD care must be digital and patient-centred. #HealthEquity shorturl.at/rsbn3

Informal caregivers are turning to #mHealth for self-directed learning. Most want trusted info on care, meds, and first aid. But access, confidence, and usability remain barriers. Digital health must serve those doing essential, unpaid care. #HealthEquity shorturl.at/e1EVm

FDA warns WHOOP over unapproved blood pressure insights. A clear signal: health claims from wearables must meet regulatory standards. Innovation without accountability risks trust and safety. #DigitalHealth #Wearables shorturl.at/rHXej

AI helped scientists find a hidden cause of Alzheimer’s in a gene and a small molecule that blocks it. In mice, this reduced brain changes and improved memory, offering hope for earlier, easier treatment. #Alzheimers #AIinHealthcare #BrainHealth shorturl.at/5BIqn

OpenAI is adding safeguards to detect distress, give break reminders, and guide rather than prescribe solutions. Research shows LLMs can miss suicidal cues or worsen symptoms. In #MentalHealth , nuance is the difference between help and harm. #AI shorturl.at/HCBAv

Survey of 200+ practice leaders: #EHR have the biggest impact on patient outcomes, #Telehealth is second despite lower use. Modernizing tech stacks and expanding digital access like self-scheduling will be key to meeting rising patient expectations. shorturl.at/eqBq7

ONC data shows US hospitals made big gains in patient engagement tech: 99% allow record access, 95% share clinical notes. Yet smaller and rural hospitals lag behind. Progress is clear, but a digital divide threatens equity. #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity shorturl.at/4d2Cv

Epic is launching a native AI charting tool to automate EHR notes and cut clinician admin time. Big opportunity, but questions remain on workflow fit, data privacy and trust. Tech alone is not enough without evidence of real patient impact #AIinHealthcare shorturl.at/AfCyJ

Digital health is no longer optional. From AI pathology to hybrid care, it is reshaping outcomes, safety and patient expectations. Experts argue it must become a core medical sub-specialty to prepare clinicians and future-proof care. #FutureOfMedicine shorturl.at/6aUCm

#DigitalHealth must be guided by justice not just access. Equality gives the same tools, equity adapts to needs, but justice tackles structural barriers. Without this, digital innovation risks widening gaps instead of closing them #HealthEquity #Techquity nature.com/articles/s4174…

Women remain underrepresented in cardiovascular trials, with lowest inclusion in arrhythmia, CHD, ACS, and HF. Evidence gaps risk inequities in care unless trials mandate diversity and sex-specific reporting. #Cardiology #HealthEquity shorturl.at/lV6vb

A new study validates a wearable sweat patch for #CF enabling remote monitoring of chloride levels. It could help track treatment response and day-to-day variability, but gold-standard tests and equity safeguards remain essential #DigitalHealth pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Epic’s new AI platform predicts patient health journeys from 100B+ medical events. Promise is clear, but incomplete and fragmented #HealthData risk bias and blind spots. Predictive AI must prove it adds equity and clarity, not complexity. #AIinHealthcare tinyurl.com/56zfskf9
