AI’s secret superpower? Telling clinicians when NOT to treat! 🤖 Best part: AI never needs a coffee break ☕ #AI #ASCO #Oncology #deescalation www.cancernetwork.com/view/artific...

Just read an eye-opening editorial on how AI is transforming urological cancer research - from digital twins to federated learning, the future of cancer care is evolving fast. Inspiring to see technology making such a difference in patients’ lives. 🔗 oncodaily.com/science/arti... #AI #CancerResearch

Shocking: Only 21% of bladder cancer trials outside wealthy nations. ZERO in low-income countries 😳 #GlobalHealth #EquityFail www.urotoday.com/video-lectur...

New Clinical Research Glossary explains 110+ confusing cancer terms in real human language! Finally 🙌 #PlainTalk #CancerResearch mrctcenter.org/project/heal...

How should we measure AI in health care? NEJM asks: “Compared with what?”-reminding us to benchmark AI not just against ideals, but against the real-world care patients receive today. The true test: can AI raise the standard we actually have? #AIinHealthcare #NEJMAI

Quick test: "Your neoplasm is benign" - good or bad? Too many cancer patients lost in translation 📚 #MedicalJargon #ClearCare

It's #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth! One person diagnosed every hour in the US. Early detection saves lives 💙 #BloodInUrine #EarlyDetection #BladderCancer

Health literacy = reading + decoding jargon + insurance maze + right questions. Who taught you this overnight? 🤷‍♀️ #PatientSupport

Who knew that the Wizard of Oz series has over 30 books? AI just helped solve a long-standing mystery: Who really wrote Book 15, The Royal Book of Oz—Ruth Plumly Thompson or L. Frank Baum? @sendhil.bsky.social #meshincubator #mghinnovation

450 healthcare innovators converged at MESH to reimagine the future of medicine. Healthcare's transformation is accelerating, with AI and digital health leading the charge. The energy was palpable - this feels like an inflection point. #HealthcareInnovation #MESHIncubator​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Health literacy could save $1.6T in the US. That's ROI talking 💰 Imagine what we could do with that #HealthLiteracy #ROI

Bladder cancer paradox: Lower incidence in Black patients but worse survival after dx 📈 Care quality matters #CancerDisparities #Change

Female, senior, non-smoking college students have best health literacy. Know your audience to save lives 🎓 #Prevention #Demographics www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub...

Multi-media literacy tools changing how patients use healthcare - less waste, better outcomes 📊 Comprehension = smart healthcare #DigitalHealth bit.ly/study123 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Patient finished cancer meds early cuz she felt better. Cancer spread. Communication saves lives 💬 #RealStories #CancerCare

🚨 Bladder cancer survival worse for Black patients post-diagnosis. Access & follow-up care gaps = preventable deaths #Oncology #SystemicFailure

Finally! Plain language trial materials helping families decide if trials are right 📝 No more medical jargon maze #ClinicalTrials #Accessibility

Celebrating all the moms today - the ones who are here, the ones we miss, and the ones who've chosen to love children not born to them. Your love shapes our world 🌸 #MothersDay

Mobile health apps aren't just hype! They actually cut HbA1c in patients with low health literacy 📱✨ #TechThatWorks #Diabetes www.countyhealthrankings.org/strategies-a...

Study shines light on bladder cancer screening gaps - uninsured & non-White patients diagnosed later 💡 We can do better #BladdderCancer #EquityMatters

Shocking VA data: Same care, same outcomes regardless of race. Prostate cancer mortality gap? It's the system, not biology 🎯 #RealTalk #HealthEquity

20M cancer dx this year - diagnosis every 30 sec 🤯 Informed patients do better. Period. #CancerStats #HealthLiteracy

2024 was a breakthrough year for #GenitourinaryCancer! 🚀 @danafarber.bsky.social made huge strides-from new prostate & kidney cancer therapies to blood tests that personalize treatment. Awesome to see research turning into real hope for patients like my cousin! 👏🏽🔬 #CancerResearch #Innovation

Funding great Universities might be the most important thing that the Federal Gov. does for our collective health and prosperity. Look, for instance at the map of startups. There are huge peaks around great Universities, esp. Boston and CA. www.startupblink.com/startups

Recently, the Mass Public Health Council voted unanimously to approve @danafarber.bsky.social’s plans to build a 300-bed cancer hospital in the Longwood Medical Area. Read more about how a stand-alone cancer hospital will increase equitable access to care: bit.ly/4jeqCcu

Every 30 seconds someone is diagnosed with cancer, yet health literacy remains siloed in medical communities rather than becoming a human right. Prevention requires knowledge first—knowledge that remains inaccessible to billions. #HealthLiteracy #GlobalHealth

Excited to speak in Colombo! After 10 years away, Sri Lanka’s startup scene is incredible - $252 million ecosystem value. Great to see organizations like nVentures helping local founders go global. 🇱🇰 lu.ma/meoy500e 🚀🌟 #SriLankanStartups

Great to connect with high school buddies at one of the classics in New Haven - The Owl Shop. A decade of life changes sparked great conversations. For anyone wondering if they should reach out to old friends, I assure you: it takes just one text

Address pushback head-on. Showcase how diversity initiatives align with tangible wins on your team or company. This isn't about lowering standards - it's about raising them

I encourage everyone who is in the fight against prostate cancer … medical professionals and lay persons alike …to make a financial pledge to support the research that the late Dr Feng spent his life pursuing @drjunejd.bsky.social Make a pledge to support research in #RadOnc: ow.ly/Uc3H50TSBiC

So many names. So many people no longer with us. But I am honored and humbled to be a part of this community, and stand with survivors insisting on change. Survivors who can’t bring back their loved ones, but are working to save others. @newtownaction.bsky.social

You may not need this, academics, but I thought I'd share it. I have used it for years. Type in the DOI, web address, PMID, whatever. Pick the format you want for output. Get a citation. Thank you Mick. cite.mickschroeder.com

Continuing to think about solutions to bridge gap for inequality in healthcare. . . What are some things you or your team is working on?

In the last week, I've had 7 conversations with physicians about their "diversity" initiatives-all without concrete goals. What does diversity in healthcare really mean? We need fewer good intentions and more action. Let's clearly define who we're serving and what factors we're addressing

My hope is that initiatives like these, which actually progress equitable care for ALL Americans, don’t get squashed with the new administration. To me, if we are detecting and preventing earlier, doesn’t that mean we are mitigating larger costs down the line? www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-up...

The Handlebar Mo from yours truly! The one wives hate and your kids will cry - but if you can't be bold, you ain’t making a statement! Final @Movember mo post of the year. Here's to men worldwide and those who support us for better health today and future. #Movember #MoLove

What a month! First time doing Movember. Thank you to everyone who donated - exceeding my goal of $1500! Grateful to the Bellissimo team for including me. To all men involved - let's be better for ourselves, our sons, and the healthcare teams who help us live long, fulfilling lives. #MensHealth

Ever get into a conversation that makes you go down a rabbit hole 🐇? Well now I'm in that hole 🕳️ -> what tools exist focused on achieving equitable health literacy?#healthequity

Stayed away from politics at 🦃, but talking about my cousin's prostate cancer made me realize health literacy affects all individuals and families, regardless of education or background. 🧐

#HappyThanksgiving 🦃 Another “interesting” year professionally and personally. Thankful for a lot but this year in particular, thankful for health of my family and myself!

Life expectancy gaps increasing in the US. Quite disturbing. Policy makers must take immediate actions to reverse the overall negative findings noted, esp for Alaska Natives/Native Americans. See Lancet article. Available at: www.healthdata.org/news-events/.... @drjunejd.bsky.social

If high health literacy boosts willingness to join clinical trials, what are we doing to improve our recruitment strategy to achieve equitable cancer outcomes? #healthinequities pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
