"The relationship between doctors and patients has eroded over recent decades, with minimal time and keyboards as the main culprits. Physicians-and all clinicians-are experiencing burnout at increasing rates, and superficial contact with patients is resulting in diagnostic errors and unnecessary tests and procedures. In his latest book, Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again, Eric Topol, MD, reveals how artificial intelligence (AI) can help restore the critical human connection between doctor and patient. Described by many in the medical field as a futurist, Topol gives readers a deep dive into how AI will not only transform the practice of medicine, but also radically reshape health systems and impact biomedical research."

"Today's infographic dives into some of the technological advances that are pushing the boundaries of modern healthcare, and what this could mean for the sector."

"To keep pace with the evolving ecosystem for precision medicine, pharma players must be attuned to three crucial components: data collection, individualized solutions, and supporting business models."

Click through to hear an 8 minute interview with Austin Durant, citizen experimenter and founder and chief fermentation officer, Fermenters Club and Vineet Pandey, lead designer and developer, Galileo. "Ever wonder if kombucha, the fermented tea drink, is actually good for you? Like many food and drinks touted as healthy, there hasn't been much scientific research to rely on and you'd just have to come to your own conclusions. Now a tool out of UC San Diego is empowering regular citizens to design experiments to test hypotheses and recruit participants, becoming scientists themselves. The tool is called Galileo and encourages participants to test their intuitions by asking questions like, can a vegan diet improve energy levels? Or does drinking coffee every day reduce the quality of sleep?"

"Dear Practitioners,   It is with great pleasure that Daniela Carraro and myself will be co-teaching a transformational retreat with Jianshe Liu on March 5 - 8th, 2019 at Prince of Peace Abbey in Oceanside.   Jianshe has studied Zhineng Qigong since 1991 - his teaching is a direct transmission of authentic,  joyful presence and living each moment gracefully.   Jianshe, Dani and I are honored and humbled to come together and connect with you in this way. Please read below for more details, we look forward to sharing this experience with you.   Abundant blessings, Dani & Reyna"

"In 2009, Ms. Leon went to the WomenHeart Science and Leadership Symposium at the Mayo Clinic, where she met Dr. Sharonne N. Hayes, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at Mayo. At that time, the largest study on SCAD included 43 patients. "I walked up to Dr. Hayes and told her we had 70 people, and we wanted research," Ms. Leon recalled. "She was like, 'Wow.'" "Everything I learned about SCAD in my medical training was wrong," Dr. Hayes said. By 2010, with the help of Dr. Hayes, and subsequently SCAD Research Inc., an organization founded by Bob Alico, who lost his wife to SCAD, Dr. Hayes devised an innovative way to do research, using online networks of far-flung patients and analyzing genetic and clinical data. "We never imagined there would be 1,000 female patients in our virtual registry," Dr. Hayes said."

Sharon, telling your story this article is an act of bravery and determination. Your strength is an inspiration.

"N-of-1 or single subject clinical trials consider an individual patient as the sole unit of observation in a study investigating the efficacy or side-effect profiles of different interventions. The ultimate goal of an n-of-1 trial is to determine the optimal or best intervention for an individual patient using objective data-driven criteria. Such trials can leverage study design and statistical techniques associated with standard population-based clinical trials, including randomization, washout and crossover periods, as well as placebo controls. Despite their obvious appeal and wide use in educational settings, n-of-1 trials have been used sparingly in medical and general clinical settings. We briefly review the history, motivation and design of n-of-1 trials and emphasize the great utility of modern wireless medical monitoring devices in their execution. We ultimately argue that n-of-1 trials demand serious attention among the health research and clinical care communities given the contemporary focus on individualized medicine. Keywords: clinical equipoise, early-phase trials, individualized medicine, n-of-1, remote phenotyping, single patient trial, treatment repositioning, wireless health"

I met Tahir Bhatti during my Ornish Lifestyle Medicine transformation at Jacobs Medical Center UCSD. Tahir would sub into our support group whenever Ozzie Gontang was traveling. He is a great teacher. "Holistic Healers, Wellness Coaches, and Life-partners, Tahir Bhatti & Ayesha Suneja  have spent the last 20 years researching, teaching and guiding others towards mind-body-spirit healing, transpersonal wellness and spiritual growth.   Originally from India and Pakistan, both Ayesha and Tahir were raised in cultures that naturally cultivated spirituality, meditation and holistic healing practices.   Their passion for integrating spirituality into their clinical work led them to further their studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation, soul consciousness and self-realization.   Due to their exposure to ancient Eastern philosophies at a young age and their extensive training in Western Medicine & Psychology, their eclectic studies are balanced in the Sciences and the Ancient Truths.     By integrating both philosophies Tahir and Ayesha have created a blend of Eastern and Western Coaching Practices that is truly unique."

"Meet Sharon Terry, a former college chaplain and stay-at-home mom who took the medical research world by storm when her two young children were diagnosed with a rare disease known as pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). In this knockout talk, Terry explains how she and her husband became citizen scientists, working midnight shifts at the lab to find the gene behind PXE and establishing mandates that require researchers to share biological samples and work together."
