Joanna Strober recognized a business opportunity in women's health, particularly for menopausal women, and demonstrated grit and patience in securing investor support.

EMR systems were designed for scheduling, billing, HIPAA-compliant records, and claims processing. For most practices, they are probably essential. But they were not necessarily designed with couples therapy in mind.

Gould's findings were consistent with previous conjectures, where the apparent lower lung function of Black people was part of a justification for enslavement.

Online fitness coaching saves time by eliminating the need to commute to a gym. Workouts are accessible anytime and anywhere, allowing exercise to fit into your schedule.

"I thought it was normal as my mum really suffered [with period pains] too. But during my first year of university, the symptoms started happening every day, even when I was not bleeding."

Most people leave doctor visits with prescriptions, but still feel unsure—instructions make sense, but no one asks about their life. In contrast, when a provider knows your name, remembers your story, and explains care in a way that fits you, the experience feels different—and that difference matters.

In many ways, public health can't afford to ignore gamification. Addiction is already gamified-and it's winning. As one example, "smart" vapes now feature screens, rewards, animations, and puff tracking. These high-tech devices have become top-selling products, with 32% of youth and 33% of young adults reporting using vapes with screens, games, or Bluetooth connectivity in the past month. These products are applying the same engagement strategies used in consumer tech to drive repeat use and ultimately sustain addictive behavior.

You get sick from staying inside, breathing the same germ-filled air. Open your windows, even for five minutes, to circulate the old air out and let in fresh air. Also, if you're taking your child to the doctor, don't wait to treat their fever because you want 'the provider to see the fever.' Your child might wait two hours to be seen, meanwhile their temperature goes up, and they might have a seizure. If you say they've been having fevers, we believe you.

"I heard a pop in my head, like a big bubble," she said. "I tried to scream, but it wasn't a normal scream. I knew something wasn't right."

"I grew up in a family that valued hard work and education," she says. "Starting over in a new country reinforced that nothing comes easily, but progress is always possible."

Between March 2020 and March 2022, over 100 million telemedicine services were delivered to approximately 17 million Australians. The Australian government invested $409 million to make telehealth permanent, whilst the UK announced £600 million for digital health infrastructure in April 2025. Patient adoption is equally impressive: 60% find telemedicine more convenient than in-person appointments, 55% report higher satisfaction with teleconsultations, and 74% of millennials prefer virtual appointments for routine care. These aren't temporary shifts; they represent a fundamental transformation in healthcare delivery.
