Ashley Johnson+FollowCMMI’s Big Health Care Shake-UpCMMI is making some bold moves to fix our health care mess! They’re rolling out a 3-part plan: 1) focus on preventing disease (not just treating it), 2) give patients more power and info, and 3) make health care more competitive and less confusing. With costs out of control and more people living with chronic illness, this could be the shake-up we need. Fingers crossed it actually makes a difference! #HealthcareReform #Medicare #Medicaid #HealthInnovation #PatientPower00Share
Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowSurgery Nerves? Mental Health Matters!Did you know feeling anxious before surgery isn’t just uncomfortable—it can actually mess with your recovery? Research shows pre-surgery anxiety and depression can lead to more complications and even higher risks after the operation. The wild part? Mental health support before surgery is rarely offered, even though it can make a huge difference. New tech like VR programs and online therapy are starting to help, but we need more of this everywhere. Mental health isn’t just a side note—it’s key to healing! #MentalHealthMatters #SurgerySupport #HealthInnovation #AnxietyAwareness #HealingJourney #Health00Share

No more awkward clinic visits—just order the kit, collect your sample at home, and get telehealth support if you need it. It’s as accurate as the doctor’s office and could help more women stay on top of their health. Would you try this instead of the traditional Pap? #WomensHealth #CervicalCancer #HealthInnovation #TealWand #FDAApproved #Health13945Share

Angela Chavez+FollowAre Wearables the Future of Longevity?WHOOP just dropped its next-gen wearables, and they’re not just counting steps—they’re promising to boost your healthspan. With features like on-demand heart screening and blood pressure insights, these devices aim to help you live better, not just longer. But can a wrist gadget really change the way we approach long-term health, or is this just another fitness fad? Would you trust your health to a wearable? Let’s debate! #WearableTech #HealthInnovation #Longevity #DigitalHealth #TechDebate #Tech00Share
itaylor+FollowNewborn Screening Needs a Major Glow-UpDid you know the U.S. newborn screening system is kinda all over the place? A new national report (with a big assist from RTI’s Don Bailey) says we need way more coordination to keep up with new tech like gene therapy and genome sequencing. Right now, every state does things a little differently, which means some babies might miss out on life-saving advances. The fix? A 10-year plan to unify and upgrade screening for all newborns. This could be a game-changer for early detection! #NewbornScreening #HealthInnovation #PublicHealth #ScienceNews #Health10Share
nathan87+FollowOne Shot for Covid & Flu? Moderna’s Got ItModerna’s new combo Covid and flu shot just crushed it in a big trial—people had way higher antibody levels than with the usual separate shots. Imagine only needing one jab for both viruses each fall! Side effects like fever and chills were a bit more common, but experts say it’s a promising step toward better, easier protection. Approval could take until 2026, but this could totally change vaccine season. #Moderna #VaccineNews #FluShot #Covid19 #mRNA #HealthInnovation #Health42140Share
Jordan Jimenez+FollowChronic Pain Hack: Train Your Brain!Turns out, managing chronic pain isn’t just about meds—your emotions play a huge role too! A new Aussie study found that retraining your brain to handle emotions can actually dial down pain levels. People using this online therapy learned to process their feelings better and saw real drops in pain, anxiety, and even sleep issues. Imagine cutting your pain in half just by working on your emotional health. This could be a total game-changer for anyone stuck in the pain cycle! #ChronicPain #MentalHealth #PainManagement #BrainTraining #HealthInnovation #Health50Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowWould You Try At-Home HPV Tests?Cervical cancer is way more common in women with HIV, but a new Danish study found that half of eligible women were down to try an at-home HPV self-sampling kit. The best part? 80% actually sent their samples back! But here’s the catch: even when the test came back positive, less than half followed up for more care. Self-sampling could be a game-changer, but getting people to stick with the process is still a big hurdle. #WomensHealth #HPV #HIV #CervicalCancer #HealthInnovation #Health80Share
Chris Lyons+FollowUniversal Vaccine Game-Changer?Did you hear? The NIH just dropped a new universal vaccine platform called Generation Gold Standard. It’s not just another flu shot—this one’s designed to tackle a bunch of pandemic-prone viruses (think bird flu, COVID, even MERS) with one vaccine. Plus, it’s government-owned, so there’s zero pharma drama. The coolest part? There’s an intranasal version in trials that could actually block virus transmission. If all goes well, we might see these in clinics by 2029. Science is seriously leveling up! #VaccineNews #PandemicPrep #NIH #ScienceUpdate #HealthInnovation #Health2231Share
