Your immune system is critical to your body developing antibodies to fight off viruses, infections, and harmful bacteria. Typically, your immune system weakens as you age. The cells that fight off antibodies take longer to decode unknown antigens in the body and develop antibodies to combat the antigens. However, there are certain lifestyle habits and changes you can adapt to ensure your immune system stays strong as you age. Let's review some tips on how to strengthen your immune system.

AI and the Fight Against COVID-19
From delivering medications to remote areas half a world away to beating an ambulance to a cardiac arrest emergency, drones have the potential to fill a far more important role than simply entertainment or surveillance. While drone implementation in the healthcare field is only just beginning, this burgeoning use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will eventually revolutionize the healthcare industry. Below we explore X ways in which drones are saving lives an...

Medicare Supplement plans are designed to help cover what Original Medicare may not, such as coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles. These are great options for individuals in need of full coverage that have the financial stability to tack on more benefits, but it is important to weigh those options before deciding.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced nearly every industry today to rethink their standard approaches to effectively deal with this massive obstacle. The healthcare and government sectors specifically have had to adapt more quickly, which has led to an acceleration in the development of artificial intelligence, or “AI.”

The key to more effective healthcare is accurate and precise data on the state of a patient’s health. The faster this data can be retrieved, the faster health care professionals can take the appropriate steps in patient care. By allowing AI devices to gather this medical data, a healthcare professional’s time is freed up. This allows doctors the time to interact compassionately with their patients

Long lines and packed waiting rooms at the doctor’s office may become a thing of the past. The different advantages that mobile applications have brought to the healthcare sector have made medical services more patient-oriented and accessible.

To sustain a fully functional and civil society, we need hospitals that are prepared and ready for the most extreme emergency. We rely heavily on hospitals to keep us safe and treat us when we are in need. Unfortunately, just like any business or organization, hospitals are still vulnerable to cyber-attacks. But why is this?

As a new and rapidly growing field, health informatics careers are in high demand. This discipline involves aspects of both health care and information science. Individuals entering the field of medical informatics must be well educated in both information science and health care.

Sepsis is life-threatening and claims the lives of more than 250,000 people each year. When a simple infection develops, chemical compounds are released that initiate an inflammatory response. White blood cells then rush to the scene. If the infection progresses, the inflammatory response rises to meet the need. However, the systemic response may lead to the development of blood clots, which cause vascular blockages. If left untreated, the lack of oxygen-rich blood leads to hypotension, cardi...

Both urgent care and emergency care offer medical treatment for conditions that need attention within 24 hours. Both provide medical care during the hours when most doctors’ offices are closed. The most significant difference between the two is that urgent care handles comparatively minor problems like strep throat or earache, while emergency care handles conditions that can threaten life or limb like a broken leg or pneumonia.
Another big difference between the two is that urgent care facili...

Personalized medicine, or precision medicine, has brought about new ways to diagnose and treat diseases. The concept behind personalized medicine is that not everyone responds the same way to any given condition. Diseases may express themselves differently in different populations depending on a range of factors. Those factors include the environment, lifestyle, and genome structure.
Taking these factors into consideration when treating patients has the potential to change the way we think ab...

Opioid addiction and overdose numbers in the United States have risen exponentially in the past three decades. Pharmaceutical companies looking to make money convinced the medical community that opioid painkillers were safe, and physicians began prescribing them in greater numbers. The increase led to widespread misuse not only of prescription opioids but also an increase in illicit opioid use.
Now, as we continue to fight the opioid epidemic, we must employ all available resources to prevent...
