Healthcare Edition / Coverage
Rowan Hale is the pen name used by Healthcare Edition’s founding editor. The publication focuses on health technology, policy and the delivery of care.
Policy & systems
A review of 17 studies finds broadly supportive views alongside concerns about privacy, commercial use and who decides. Gaps in whose voices were heard limit any universal conclusion.
Health technology
A Queensland audit of childhood immune-disorder testing links service organisation with changes in testing practice. Counselling, laboratory coordination and follow-up belong beside the sequencing result.
Health technology
A urine strip can detect a hormone without diagnosing menopause. Here is why symptoms, timing and the kind of test change what a result means.
Home & community care
Exact-model validation and cuff fit answer different questions. Registry criteria and a crossover trial explain what to check behind a home reading.
Health technology
A list of microbes, a comparative score and a useful clinical decision require different evidence. Testing research explains the gaps between them.
Health technology
Logging a period, forecasting a fertile window and estimating ovulation are different functions. Intended use and version-specific evidence determine their limits.
Health technology
A digital CBT-I programme aims to treat insomnia; a tracker summarises sleep. NICE’s evidence and recommendation show why the distinction matters.
Health technology
Light-based oxygen estimates can be affected by pigmentation, fit and circulation. UK and US guidance explains what a reassuring display cannot settle.
Policy & systems
The AMA’s October framework separates capability, permission, oversight and responsibility. Its use of “licensure” is a proposal, not a new law.
Health technology
A January 2025 registry snapshot concentrates on mental-health conditions. Its definitions, allocation fields and exclusions explain what the count can show.
Health technology
A large training dataset does not settle performance in another setting. An ECG foundation-model study shows why data origins belong beside the benchmark.
Home & community care
A US peer-mentoring study found high satisfaction among completers and limited reach. Its recruitment and support work explain why both findings matter.
