The services they offer the healthcare industry allow healthcare providers to move past a one-size-fits-all model and deliver patient care that meets unique needs. But as demand for the services that compounding pharmacies provide has grown, supply chain issues have surfaced. Drug shortages, cost challenges, and concerns over quality have all impacted the ability of compounding pharmacies to play a...

A patient visits a cardiology practice website at 9:40 p.m. She completes a form, selects Tuesday morning, and receives an automatic message that says, “Your request has been received.” She reads that message as confirmation. The practice reads it differently.

A worker sits down for a pre-employment medical, answers a set of health questions, and software produces a recommendation about whether they are fit for the job. No clinician reviews the file, and no one can fully explain how the result was reached. It sounds far-fetched, yet AI is already moving into the health checks that decide who gets hired, and the technology is running ahead of the rules. The evidence suggests that handing over...

By Natalie Calderon Moultrie, Audiologist, HearUSA Today, preventive care is increasingly data-driven, with people taking a more active role in monitoring their health before small issues become serious problems. Wearables like smartwatches and smart rings can now track heart rate, sleep patterns, stress levels and daily activity, while apps monitor nutrition, mindfulness and fitness goals.
