Over the last decade, public health has gone digital. There are new systems for records, reporting, and analytics. But here’s the reality: tools like electronic health records, lab systems, immunization databases, emergency response platforms, and countless isolated spreadsheets often operate in isolation. Are you noticing the pattern? Few systems are designed to easily share or reuse information. As a result, instant insights prove uncommon. Important data often gets trapped in silos, slowing down public health leaders and making it harder to collaborate during emergencies. Covid-19 made these gaps impossible to ignore.

Vital Signals founder Tom Moss thinks the wearables industry is too focused on wellness over health. It was this that prompted him to create the Signal Ring, which arrives later this year, as something of a corrective. Moss says it’s not a device for quantifying your step count, but a tool to hopefully keep you out of the ER. Especially if, like Moss himself, you live with hypertension or another cardiac issue that could spill over into something life threatening. Moss explains, a few years ago, he was taken to hospital with a systolic blood pressure reading of 250 mmHg.…

I was rolling the living room ceiling and misjudged the angle. A line of white latex paint crossed the front of my shirt before I could react. I did what seemed obvious: grabbed a wet cloth and blotted at it. The paint smeared sideways. I ran it under the tap. It faded slightly. I threw the shirt in the wash.

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to address the nation on Thursday night on topics he said will include elections and voting machines, suggesting he is likely to revisit some of the unproven claims he has previously made about Republican losses, particularly his own in 2020. Trump’s fixation on his loss to Democrat Joe Biden six years ago and the long-debunked theories he’s circulated about it are something he still brings up regularly when discussing other subjects. But elevating the deeply political and conspiratorial topics to a presidential primetime address underscores the lengths to which Trump has used his second…
