Back in 2013, ProPublica detailed what seemed a stunning development in the pharmaceutical industry’s drive to win the prescription pads of the nation’s doctors: In just four years, one doctor had earned $1 million giving promotional talks and consulting for drug companies; 21 others had made more than $500,000.
Six years later — despite often damning scrutiny from prosecutors and academics — such high earnings have become commonplace.
Your health records contain a lot of information. Here’s just some of what is in them:
The new law requires doctors and hospitals to give patients access to their electronic medical records. You have the right to see them quickly and at no cost.
The problem is that some people are having a hard time finding or getting their medical records. If that is true for you, you may be experiencing medical record “information blocking.”
Review the 3 Common Situations below to figure out whether you are experiencing information blocking. Most people fall into Situations 1 and 2. When you decide which applies to you, follow our prompts to find help.
Accessing, downloading, and reading your medical record is your right. If a doctor or hospital is preventing you from getting your record, it is important to report it.
You can report “information blocking” to the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health IT (information technology). The ONC is part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The ONC is responsible for researching public complaints of information blocking.

Why would you want your medical information?
Robert Pearl says that most advances in life are due to serendipity, not vision. He outlines his unique career direction and the inevitable of advances.
The 'white cane' in the digital age. This is an autonomous driving cane for the blind. Fashioned after the autonomous driving automobile. It uses sensors such as infrared, cameras, and lidar to move through the environment avoiding obstacles, and sensing stairs and people.
The NHS will open its first "AI-run physiotherapy clinic" to cut waiting times amid growing demand and staff shortages. An inevitable step that many other health providers will also have to take.
The new platform (the first to be approved by the health regulator) will provide same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist via an app that responds to information provided by a patient in real-time.
In short, a digital platform, a generative AI agent, and a video database.
What do patients think about it?

The first NHS AI-run physiotherapy clinic is to be rolled out this year to cut waiting times amid growing demand and staff shortages.
The new platform will provide same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist via an app that responds to information provided by a patient in real-time.
It is the first platform of its kind to be approved by the health regulator, the Care Quality Commission, as a registered healthcare provider.
Patients seeking physiotherapy for issues such as back pain can be referred to the platform Flok Health through a community or primary care healthcare setting, such as their GP. They can also self-refer directly into the service.
The service aims to provide faster care and reduce waiting times and pressure on clinicians, those behind it say.
HOW IT WORKS
Get better
During each of your appointments, your digital physio will prescribe a set of exercises for you to practice for the coming week before your next appointment. These exercises are specifically selected for you based on a detailed analysis of your symptoms and movement patterns. Our app guides you through practicing your exercises between appointments and helps you see your progress and stay on track.
