For much of modern healthcare, medical authority has been closely tied to control of information. When people were unwell, there were few places to turn for reliable guidance and clinical knowledge sat largely within the consulting room. That arrangement shaped hospital hierarchies, policy debates and family decision-making, reinforcing the idea...Read more

Artificial intelligence steadily moves from hospital corridors to living rooms where chronic wounds are managed day to day. In home settings, care unfolds through ongoing relationships, sensory appraisal and constant adjustment to circumstances that rarely look like a clinic. Insights from registered nurses working in Swedish municipalities highlight...Read more

Health systems face intensifying pressure as demand for diagnostic testing rises with ageing populations and growing disease burden. At the same time, there is a push for broader access and lower costs in the context of workforce shortages and the consumerisation of healthcare. Point-of-care testing (POCT) is positioned to relieve these pressures...Read more

Visuospatial neglect after stroke undermines spatial awareness, mobility and daily function, often increasing fall risk and care needs. Technology-enabled training offers structured, repeatable practice that can complement physiotherapy and sustain engagement. An immersive hand-grasping task was developed to direct attention toward neglected space...Read more

Hospitals frequently encounter delays when patients remain in beds after they are clinically ready to leave. Each additional hour can slow admissions from the emergency department (ED), reduce surgical throughput and increase pressure on staff, with implications for safety and quality. Longer-than-necessary stays are linked to complications, hospital-acquired...Read more

Clinical decision support powered by large language models (LLMs) is moving from experimentation to evaluation, bringing both opportunity and risk into focus. Work in gastroenterology demonstrates how sociodemographic details embedded in patient presentations can steer LLM recommendations in different directions even when clinical symptoms are...Read more

Healthcare is moving from disconnected digitisation to purposeful integration where data, workflows and people align around patient value. The shift demands more than new tools: it requires upgraded infrastructure, clear governance, skilled teams and a culture that treats technology as an enabler of safer, faster, fairer care. AI now sits...Read more

Clinical documentation remains a major drain on time and attention, often extending work into evenings and contributing to burnout. A large health network identified note burden as a prime area for improvement after tracking how long clinicians spend writing and editing notes. The organisation sought a scalable alternative to templates, prebuilt...Read more
