The FDA cleared a machine that destroys liver tumors using nothing but sound. No incision, no radiation, no heat. It's called histotripsy, and it liquifies tumors from outside the body. #MedTech #Health

Because health care data privacy laws are better at keeping a corpse’s health information private than keeping patients alive.

New @statnews.bsky.social from me:

HHS' Office of Civil Rights hasn't audited HIPAA compliance since 2017.

These audits, required by the HITECH Act, are supposed to assess things like cybersecurity readiness, but even when it conducted audits, OCR only looked at 8 of 180 #HIPAA rules 😳

the push to constantly deregulate was what made me leave medtech reporting. it was shocking to see so many people (including doctors) prioritize ROI over patient health and safety. my publisher wouldn't run anything in opposition to it either, bc it would "hurt the industry that supports us"

Oh no, this is a horrible, horrible idea! So many red flags! 🚩

Here is one: Sharing health data publicly removes HIPAA protections—opening the door for misuse. If the ACA is repealed, pre-existing conditions protections may vanish. Insurers could deny care based on this data. 🩺🖥️ #medtech

What is upsetting is when the people who ARE supposed to have the training and understand therapy and mental health who have gone all in on AI despite every logical and ethical reason to practice caution and to be protective of our clients.

It is a huge issue in #socialworktech and #medtech.

To be sure, a lot of things would have to go right to make this extended life span vision come true. But employers are uniquely positioned to drive this change, in a way sectors like public health and health care are not, says Dr. Asif Dhar, vice chair and life sciences and health care industry leader at Deloitte and a coauthor of the report. His team looked at all potential players, including medtech and financial services firms, community-based organizations, and the government. One major reason employers came out on top: More than half of U.S. residents were covered by company-provided health insurance in 2021.
