WeTheTrillions Health works with you to improve at-home adherence by supporting your dietary recommendations with clinically proven protocols to measurably make patient biomarkers healthier. For more information, visit: wethetrillions.com/clinicians.
About WeTheTrillions
WeTheTrillions is on a mission to reengineer preventative healthcare with data-driven plant-based food. According to the CDC, 80% of the costliest diseases are preventable through food and yet very little clinical-grade interventions are accessible to patients to help prevent and reverse conditions and symptoms. We provide a comprehensive approach (from designing personalized, clinical-grade meals, to making and delivering them) to close the loop with clinicians. Together with doctors, gastroenterologists, registered dietitians, nutritionists, functional health experts, health coaches, and your entire care team, we assess impact, track results, and refine dietary and lifestyle recommendations for measurably improved patient outcomes.
How does it work? WeTheTrillions’ proprietary algorithm designs specific meals for each person’s unique health needs based on microbiome science, peer-reviewed clinical studies, and behavioral science. We also build a community of doctors who can access a dashboard and have a seamless view of what their patients eat and how it is impacting their biomarkers.

Is your hospital ready for the Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act? An effort spearheaded by AARP, the law requires hospitals to recognize the role of the caregiver and provide them with the necessary resources to deliver care after a patient has been discharged. Now that the law is being passed in a number of states, including New Jersey, what does this mean for hospitals and how can they comply with these new standards without breaking the bank?
Bob Gold, CEO of GoMo Health, and other members of his team led a seminar June 9th, 2015 focused on how technology can be used to cost-effectively comply with the CARE Act, increase HCAHPS scores, and motivate healthier behaviors among patient populations.
During this seminar attendees learned:
-How the CARE Act is affecting hospitals
-Effective methods for engaging patients and caregivers outside the hospital
-Strategic communications and mobile engagement tactics
-How to integrate human and digital interactions into one conversation

On October 7, 2019, the Harvard Global Health Institute will host a one-day symposium to explore what enabled this visionary program, and to showcase how it has transformed not just the worldwide HIV/AIDS response but global health delivery more broadly.
There are many lessons learned in PEPFAR’s story - from what it took to build a supply chain where there was none, to establishing the use of generic antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) and leveraging human capacity. This event convened the early architects of PEPFAR as well as experts and implementers currently leading the charge. We took a historically informed look at what it will take to stop global transmission, and shared tools useful for others hoping to move the needle on vexing problems in global health.

I suspect the news my smartphone will soon turn into my doctor is exaggerated. While a consultation with my phone will always be easier to arrange than an appointment with my GP, I know for a fact that even the techiest among us still want to see a living, breathing, qualified person when they’re under the weather.
I say this with confidence as this is one of the key findings from the first ever mHealth report by Ruder Finn. The report, based on a survey of more than 1,000 smartphone and tablet users, shows that while there’s an appetite for healthcare applications, and consumers generally love a good app, developers of health applications have not convinced the public of this kind of app’s value to them. The survey’s results show that apps for social media, games and news are the most popular with users of smartphones and tablets; healthy living apps languish in last place in terms of popularity.
The survey, conducted on our behalf by pollster YouGov, reveals some interesting links between type of device and the likelihood of the user to use health & lifestyle apps. The research suggests apps that help take away some of the pain associated with healthcare – booking appointments and getting hold of test results for example – are more popular than those to actually manage health. Our results suggested a great deal of caution around apps to help patients manage long term health conditions – significantly even among those suffering from chronic disease/ health problems. These findings may come as a disappointment to the World Health Organization, which along with The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is launching an mHealth initiative to help combat noncommunicable diseases, based on the fact that mHealth is cost effective, scalable and sustainable.
In our survey, there is a difference between the generations and the impact that might have on app usage. While 75% of respondents between 25-34 owned a smartphone fewer than 30% in the 55+ category did. Although everyone accesses healthcare it’s usually the oldest among us who use it most. It will be interesting to see how usage patterns change as the gamers and Tweeters of today get older.

The Annual Quality Statement for NHS Wales 2014: Delivering high quality heal...scarletdesign
The AQS is important because it presents information for the public and patients about services in NHS Wales in an accessible, easy-to-read format. It’s easy to get bogged down in data and statistics, and if figures are presented without any context then it’s hard to know if they represent good performance or whether urgent improvement is needed.
The All-Wales AQS is hopefully easy to read. It contains great examples of excellent care in Wales and notes when things could be better. It also includes links to the Annual Quality Statements produced by all the health boards and trusts in NHS Wales. These publications are important because we all want to know how well our local health services are doing.
Scarlet Design coproduced the design of the All Wales AQS with the Welsh Government and 1000 Lives Improvement teams.
An ACO Case Study: Quality Improvement in HealthcareHealth Catalyst
OSF HealthCare—one of the first Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)—has a strong history of providing outstanding quality improvement in healthcare within hospitals, clinics, home health and other health provider entities across Illinois. For ACOs to succeed under value-based care, it is critical that organizations effectively coordinate care in the effort to maximize quality and safety, while minimizing costs and waste. It is also imperative that ACOs understand patients’ needs and values and incorporate them into all health decisions.
Please join Leslie Falk, Health Catalyst and the OSF team—recipient of the 2014 Illinois Hospital Association (IHA) Institute for Innovations in Care and Quality’s first annual Tim Philipp Award for Excellence in Palliative and End-of-Life Care—as they discuss how they leveraged technology and data to launch a community-wide supportive care initiative that has successfully maximized value for the populations they serve.
Attendees of the webinar will:
Learn how OSF is improving healthcare quality and delivering on the Triple Aim.
Explore innovative ways to improve care coordination.
Discover how technology-enabled solutions drives community, patient, and physician engagement.
Understand the benefit of a team approach to improving care coordination.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
