A recent study of so-called 'white coat hypertension' finds that blood pressure readings taken at the doctor's office can be less accurate and more dangerous than readings taken at home with mHealth devices.
Use of an artificial pancreas is associated with better control of blood sugar levels for people with type 1 diabetes compared with standard treatment, finds a review of the available evidence published by The BMJ today.
A recent survey of 300 primary care physicians who use EHRs found that half of the respondents wanted better access to patient data.
To diagnose cancer, doctors use a bunch of complex examinations like an MRI, a CT scan, a biopsy or a lengthy blood test.

Although inflammatory arthritis can be treated systemically, drugs are often injected directly into affected areas, particularly when the disease affects just one or a few joints.

A new delivery system could improve the efficacy and durability of arthritis treatments, as well as cut down on nasty side effects caused by systemic therapy.
Researchers have developed an "injectable bandage" that quickly stops bleeding and allows wounds to heal faster than traditional dressings. Biomedical engineers at Texas A&M University in College Stations have invented the "injectable bandage," which is composed of a seaweed-derived gelling agent and two-dimensional clay nanoparticles.
Such alerts remind clinicians about everything from a patient's drug allergies, to possible drug interactions, to dosing guidelines, to lab testing guidance. Clinicians can either follow the alerts' recommendations, override them, or ignore them.
