New research in @AmJMed: Our team found personalized care models improved medication adherence from 48% to 89% and cut healthcare costs by 50% for heart failure patients! Healthcare must become preventative, predictive, and proactive.

High LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, tells us a patient is at risk. It does not change that risk. What does is the work between visits: taking medications, eating well, moving more, and keeping at it. That is the gap @ZealCareInc was built to close.

For 20 years, Bob List has faced prostate cancer with support from Dr. Daniel George and the team at @DukeCancer. Today, the 80-year-old Vietnam veteran is still breaking swimming records.

When the human genome was mapped, many of us believed it would transform medicine. Sequencing is now fast and affordable, but its insights must still reach the patient. I am proud that @dnanexus and @OracleHealth are bringing them to the point of care!
Get your blood tested on a regular basis!
So important!
💜 September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. If you’re concerned about a loved one, take action. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. Learn more: at.apa.org/997db1
Proud to see @dnanexus CEO Thomas Laur featured in @IBDinvestors this week on AI and drug development. Thomas says: fix the data foundation first and then AI actually delivers!

"Eat better" is good advice. It doesn't tell a patient managing a CKM condition what's for dinner at 5:49 pm on a tight budget, with sodium limits, and a family that wants pizza. That gap between the plan and Monday dinner is why I'm so glad @ZealCareInc exists.

You never know when you might need to use Hands-Only CPR to save a life.
Ooh, that's so true.
Cardiac arrest can happen anytime, anywhere, and every second counts. You have the power to save a life. Know these two simple steps:
If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

A digital twin in cancer treatment means continuously modeling how a tumor changes, so therapy can adjust in real time instead of waiting for the next scan. Here's what that looks like: youtube.com/shorts/wjl2Pa4VO…
Precision medicine has matched treatment to a patient's biology at one point in time. That's no longer enough. Here's why I think the field is hitting its limits, and what comes next: youtube.com/shorts/RWkACMn7R…
#Glioblastoma often stops responding to treatment because the tumor keeps evolving after diagnosis, while therapy stays fixed on a single snapshot of its biology. I break down why in this short: youtube.com/shorts/0UXGIUEEv…

Why is glioblastoma one of medicine’s greatest challenges?
At our 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺, keynote speaker Dr. Ralph Snyderman reminded us why glioblastoma remains one of medicine’s greatest challenges.
Its complexity demands a new approach—powered by precision medicine, genomic testing, and collaboration.
💜 Together, we’re building a different future for glioblastoma.

Honored to give the keynote at the @glioblastf's 10th anniversary symposium. Precision medicine has to become dynamic: tracking how tumors evolve in real time, not just at diagnosis, and adjusting therapy as they change.

Today is Glioblastoma Awareness Day & I'm honored to keynote the @glioblastf 's 10th anniversary symposium. These tumors evolve too fast for static treatment. AI, multimodal data, and digital twins let us adapt therapy in real time.
The next frontier: Dynamic Precision Medicine!

Change Starts With You - His Holiness the Dalai Lama says change starts from the individual. One person makes the effort, then another — reaching 10, 100, 1,000, 10 million. That's the way to change. Video originally recorded on March 9, 2016.
"Overwhelmed and alone." That's how too many people with chronic conditions describe their experience of healthcare. It's exactly what we set out to change with ZealCare. Health is deeply personal, and care should be too.
