  • An obvious near future implementation of this work is in drug development pipelines. By modeling out a limited number of likely proteins to test for efficacy, the cost and efficiency in bringing new drugs to animal/cell models, clinical trials and eventually marketplace for routine use, can be reduced tremendously. The historic models have been to do trial and error testing on hundreds if not thousands of potential protein iterations of potential therapeutics, which costs huge amounts and takes years of development. Limiting the number of proteins to be tested, by modeling the most likely to be successful, these cost and time savings could be realized and change the entire face of drug development from its current paradigm. Perhaps, paired with legislative incentives, these savings could make their way into savings for consumers?

    Bravo, AlphaFold team! Lee Hood remarked to me in 2020 that applying “hyperscale AI” to “phenomics and cancer” is Nobel level work. Then this. Wow 🤯 a huge congrats to the team. The first Nobel! Lee’s convinced that once the world assembles sufficient data, we will see healthcare shift from sick care to wellness prevention. Medicine could forever change, “and you won’t see a doctor without being sequenced, or have your epigenome sequenced 1-2 times a year.” Lee and several of the top minds in this space, as well as nascent startups, will convene on October 30th in Boston at our first AI Summit for Cancer. Including deep mind. A “cure” to more cancers may lurk among them, as we have seen with HER2 positive cancer trials today. My Mom would be so encouraged, may she rest in peace. My brother David is coming to the event too. Can’t wait! Again, what a terrific day for AI in healthcare and life sciences. 🎉

  • These are needed and obvious changes and this is a well worded notification that these times are here. The difficulty for a patient is in figuring out how, once aware that they can and often should feel appropriate about wanting to be engaged and advocate for themselves, how to do so. Direct patient navigation, education and advocacy are critical to help move this shift and patient expectation forward. Out of necessity evolves innovation and we are excited to dynamically be offering such services to fill/resolve new gaps and trends. Patients should be confident and educated enough to engage in their own treatment decision making moreso than has been historically routine.

    Advances in technology, particularly generative AI and at-home diagnostics, have turned the once-distant idea of consumerism in medicine into a fast-approaching reality. But with empowerment comes responsibility. Patients who embrace healthcare consumerism must also take accountability for achieving the best clinical results. Clinicians, for their part, need to take advances in AI and home testing seriously. The key is to view these tools as the starting point in a more collaborative doctor-patient relationship — rather than as a threat. Are we ready for a healthcare system that prioritizes convenience, simplicity and collaboration? I'd love to hear your insights. #healthcareonlinkedin #consumerism #genai

  • The mounting evidence and thought related to the microbiome and it's extended association with the oral flora population, is almost intuitive. This topic represents a huge potential opportunity to better address disease prevention, treatment effectiveness and wellness. Of ocurse, publications like this merit further investigation and study to clarify possible cause and effect relationships with a hopeful eye to possible interventions for all.

  • When providers are confident and knowledgeable about specific integrative modalities to help support patients, many patients will experience a more communicative and trusting care based relationship. The more integrative we as care providers can be to meet our unique patients where they are, beyond the trauma of a new cancer diagnosis, the better we are able comfort and customize care plans for and with them.

  • Quite interesting and seemingly logical. Worth studying and keeping mind when there’s a simple life hack that could be potentially this significant.

    🚨A new study published in Frontiers of Toxicology (Parkinson et al 2024) this week looked at chemicals that are connected to breast cancer and also used in food packaging and plastic tableware 🥡🍴and can migrate into the food we eat. 📍Some of the chemicals that are potentially carcinogenic to the breast and are in food packaging are styrene, 4,4’ Methylenebis-(2-Chloroaniline, 3,3′-Dimethylbenzidine, benzene, and 2,4-Toluenediamine, among others. ⚠️ Many of these are already classified as hazardous by regulatory agencies but are still being used in food contact materials. These chemicals are found in plastics, paper and cardboard and can have toxic properties - (it’s not just plastics!) ☢️ Many of the chemicals the study identified are PFAS chemicals (bisphenols, phthalates or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) which are called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS chemicals may have a link with breast cancer. They are used to make food packaging resistant to oil, grease, and water. 🎀 This isn’t a direct link to breast cancer but I do think reducing our exposure to these chemicals can help to lower our risk. We need regulatory action. What can you do? 1️⃣ Toss plastic containers. If possible, store and microwave all foods in glass rather than plastic. 2️⃣ Don’t use nonstick pans 🥘 for cooking 👩🍳. 3️⃣ Replace any plastic bottles and coffee makers with glass or stainless steel. 4️⃣ Avoid heating food in plastic. 5️⃣ Avoid polystyrene food containers. Use glass, stainless steel, or BPA-free plastic alternatives. 6️⃣ Transfer food from take out food containers to different packaging, avoid reheating in original containers and store in glass. What else do you do? Share your tips below! #chemicals #breastcancer #plastics #pfas #foreverchemicals

  • Self awareness, stress regulation, connectivity, and identification of the sources of joy and fulfillment are related but not solely dependent on financial fitness. A refreshing discussion on what quality of life means today.

    When you imagine a good life, you might think of physical health, mental well-being, happiness, or even success at work — and how each plays a role in your overall sense of fulfillment. In this episode of TED Intersections, neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki sits down with HSBC’s Annabel Spring to take a more holistic view of building a quality life — from regulating stress and maintaining brain health to what it takes to set your future self up for success.

  • https://lnkd.in/eqNGVdJw Monday monring blast of interesting, significant and helpful health news updates in Oncology: This is a great review and tool to update both care providers, treating physicians, and most importantly patients themselves. Note please that the paradigms are changing and that less is often more, in the current setting of breast radiation schedules. Having options to better cater to and personalize each patients' actual treatments to help truncate their treatment journey, is wonderful to be aware of. If able, advocate for yourself as an educated consumer of care, just as one might when shopping for any other large purchase or interest. Asking about all options should be easy and standard, and at minimum a baby step towards putting the patient back in the virtual driver's seat of treatment design.

  • https://lnkd.in/eDxiJ4h7 Would love to understand moreso where these extra billions are actually to come from? Glad to see some meaningful efforts made on this medical debt front for patients. However, hospitals and anyone benefittitng from these bailouts should be held acutely accountable for earmarking the funds both which are used to accrue costs as well as where the moneys go to relieve these debts. If these funds are used to translate to ceo and md salaries at elevated rates, then how is this not like the bailouts in other industries which are “too big to fail?”

  • Atop all other pressing concerns in the world today, this is truly an alarming one worth trying best to understand and address with meaningful interventions. Obviously detecting these diseases at the earliest possible opportunity is immediately critical. But to the larger context, better understanding the potential etiologies and variables which may contribute, is paramount so as to prevent this trend from becoming the new norm. https://lnkd.in/e7-MCxY7
