The industry impact of the American Medical Association’s Digital Medicine Payment Advisory Group (DMPAG)
Digital medicine interventions (e.g., telehealth, digital therapeutics, and artificial intelligence) have opened new channels for health care delivery and created new efficiencies in the health care delivery process1. This contrasts with other innovations such as novel therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices that also enhance the care delivery process. Digital medicine interventions have faced more adoption challenges than those less disruptive to the care delivery process2,3. A critical driver of the adoption of innovations in care delivery is the business model4.

Fast food diet before pregnancy can impact breast milk and baby’s health, say scientists — ScienceDaily
A diet high in sugar and fat such as burgers, fries and fizzy drinks can negatively affect a new mother’s breast milk and baby’s health even before the child is conceived. The new study using lab mice has found that even relatively short-term consumption of a fast food diet impacts women’s health, reducing their ability to produce nutritional breast milk after giving birth. This can affect the newborn’s wellbeing, as well as increasing the risk of both mother and child developing potentially fatal conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes in later life. Even mothers who appear to be a healthy weight can be suffering from hidden issues such…
