Science Is The Best Medicine

Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and health data—how are wearables reshaping clinical research? In this episode, Dr. Marat Fudim joins us for an insightful discussion on how wearable technology is shaping the way we monitor health and conduct research. Topics include: • Are wearables improving patient care or just tracking steps? • How do researchers use wearable data in clinical trials? •What are the biggest challenges in integrating this tech?

In this episode of Beyond the Endpoint, Emily O’Brien and Manesh Patel sit down with Leslie Curtis, former senior FDA policy advisor, to explore the FDA’s role in balancing science, public health, and regulation, along with how political transitions influence clinical research, healthcare funding, and the approval process for new treatments.

Reducing hypertension risk isn’t just about cutting salt. This week on Beyond The Endpoint, Emily O’Brien, Manesh Patel, and Jenny Cook talk with Dr. Dhruv Kazi about the complex public health battle against hypertension. From interventions to strategies for patient and physician adherence, this episode covers scalable solutions to change the future of hypertension.

In this episode of "Beyond the Endpoint," hosts Emily O'Brien and Manesh Patel are joined by guest host Jenny Cook to discuss grief among healthcare providers with Tony Galanos, a researcher and physician at the Duke University School of Medicine. Galanos — "Dr. G" as he's called around Duke — shares insights from his 12-year program helping other clinicians to address and process the grief that can be an inevitable part of their work. He highlights the emotional toll that healthcare work can take and the importance of acknowledging and processing grief. The episode explores the concept of the "hidden curriculum" in medical training, the practice of "the pause" after intense resuscitation efforts, and also dives into how everyone can better manage their own grief after losing a loved one.
