ABSTRACT Decentralized apps (DApps) are computer programs that run on a distributed computing system, such as a blockchain network. Unlike the client-server architecture that powers most internet apps, DApps that are integrated with a blockchain network can execute app logic that is guaranteed to be transparent, verifiable, and immutable. This new paradigm has a number of unique properties that are attractive to the biomedical and health care communities. However, instructional resources are scarcely available for biomedical software developers to begin building DApps on a blockchain. Such apps require new ways of thinking about how to build, maintain, and deploy software. This tutorial serves as a complete working prototype of a DApp, motivated by a real use case in biomedical research requiring data privacy. We describe the architecture of a DApp, the implementation details of a smart contract, a sample iPhone operating system (iOS) DApp that interacts with the smart contract, and the development tools and libraries necessary to get started. The code necessary to recreate the app is publicly available.

Kligler and I spoke at length about the turns of events leading to the decision. At the core of our exchange was the vulnerability of these stand-alone clinics amidst leadership changes and system mergers. I shared that I had recently interviewed his frequent colleague, University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine's executive director Victoria Maizes, MD about the shutdown of ACIM's Phoenix-based integrative health clinic. Maizes had referenced what she viewed as a parallel with the Continuum story. In both cases, the clinics seemed to be collateral damage to a larger merger with a dominant player who didn't have much interest in the field.

It's Not About Feeling Better. It's About Accepting My Body As It Is. "If my journey with invisible illness has taught me anything, it's that I have to be my own best advocate."

"The goal of Made Visible is to help people living with invisible illnesses feel less alone as they strive to create a "normal" life. It also aims to create a new awareness of how friends, family, and others can be sensitive and supportive to people who live with invisible illnesses - especially when most people have no idea what's appropriate or helpful, and don't know where to turn for answers.

Janice O'Connor will be testing this device at VIP Nuero-Rehab on 10/10/19 "It's not just walking - it's More Than Walking: ReWalk is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that provides powered hip and knee motion to enable individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to stand upright, walk, turn, and climb and descend stairs*. ReWalk is the first exoskeleton to receive FDA clearance for personal and rehabilitation use in the United States."

"Biomedical Ethics Seminar Series: Special Event  End of Life Liberty: Empowering Dying Patients with Choices. An overview of the evolving changes in law and medicine governing patient autonomy at the end of life over the past 2 decades. What has been learned? What changes ought be considered? Can we move to normalize the practice of aid in dying within the practice of medicine? Do some states offer a model for practice governed by standard of care? Do psychedelic medicines offer a new palliative tool for patients with anxiety? What is the status of the research, and federal, state and local law governing psychedelic substances.

"Is it ethical to edit your child's DNA - or your own? Does the answer depend on whether you're perfectly healthy or have a condition like vision loss or are dying of a degenerative disease? And does it matter whether you've got a PhD or never set foot in a college classroom?"

Results Of the 74 studies identified, the majority were reviews of a single or a group of similar apps (n = 66, 89%), nearly half related to disease management (n = 34, 46%). A total of 80 safety concerns were identified, 67 related to the quality of information presented including incorrect or incomplete information, variation in content, and incorrect or inappropriate response to consumer needs. The remaining 13 related to app functionality including gaps in features, lack of validation for user input, delayed processing, failure to respond to health dangers, and faulty alarms. Of the 52 reports of actual or potential consequences, 5 had potential for patient harm. We also identified 66 reports about gaps in app development, including the lack of expert involvement, poor evidence base, and poor validation.

"Pocket-size ultrasound devices that cost 50 times less than the machines in hospitals (and connect to your phone). Virtual reality that speeds healing in rehab. Artificial intelligence that's better than medical experts at spotting lung tumors. These are just some of the innovations now transforming medicine at a remarkable pace."

"When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world. Fantastic Fungi, directed by Louie Schwartzberg, is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.

"ReCODE Health is here to support technologists, researchers, ethicists, regulators, institutions and participants involved in the digital health research process. Our value proposition is to increase awareness of ethical principles and practices from the earliest stages of technology design to the deployment of digital health research."

"Abstract The digital revolution is disrupting the ways in which health research is conducted, and subsequently, changing healthcare. Direct-to-consumer wellness products and mobile apps, pervasive sensor technologies and access to social network data offer exciting opportunities for researchers to passively observe and/or track patients 'in the wild' and 24/7. The volume of granular personal health data gathered using these technologies is unprecedented, and is increasingly leveraged to inform personalized health promotion and disease treatment interventions. The use of artificial intelligence in the health sector is also increasing. Although rich with potential, the digital health ecosystem presents new ethical challenges for those making decisions about the selection, testing, implementation and evaluation of technologies for use in healthcare. As the 'Wild West' of digital health research unfolds, it is important to recognize who is involved, and identify how each party can and should take responsibility to advance the ethical practices of this work. While not a comprehensive review, we describe the landscape, identify gaps to be addressed, and offer recommendations as to how stakeholders can and should take responsibility to advance socially responsible digital health research."
