Digital tools, medical technology and the evidence behind their use in care.
Health technology
A randomized crossover trial found differences in note-writing time without clear reductions in after-hours EHR work. The distinction matters when evaluating an ambient scribe.
Health technology
NHS-Galleri reported more screen-detected cancers and a stage IV signal, but missed its primary endpoint. Neither finding answers the mortality question.
Health technology
Movement, settings, a countdown and a working connection all matter between a fall alert and a call for help. Apple’s documentation explains the sequence.
Health technology
Recognizing a meal is only one part of estimating its energy. Research separates the food label, portion size and calculation behind the number.
Health technology
An experimental electronic assay measures alpha-synuclein forms in blood-derived vesicles. Its small study shows why classification and future-disease prediction must stay separate.
Health technology
A glucose trace can reveal patterns without proving better health. Recent reviews explain why healthy adults and people with prediabetes need separate consideration.
Health technology
Different clocks answer different questions. New research shows some scores respond to interventions, while their link to longer, healthier lives remains unresolved.
Health technology
HRV readings depend on how and when they are measured. Here is how personal baselines, overnight averages and device labels change their meaning.
Health technology
A watch estimates VO₂ max without measuring your breathing. Learn what the number means, how Apple calculates it and what validation studies can establish.
Health technology
Some light-treatment studies report benefits, but their results do not apply to every home mask or panel. Device settings, study populations and outcomes matter.
Health technology
What Apple's hypertension notifications detect, why they do not provide a blood-pressure reading, and where the feature's limits matter.
Health technology
Apple and Google turn sleep data into different ratings. Here is what feeds those numbers, why an update can change them, and what a score cannot establish.
