When AI sounds certain, humans often stop questioning. That shift is already happening in clinical settings.
The Dr AI Era
Search engines gave patients information. AI now gives them interpretation. Medicine may never look the same.
AI Can Ace the Medical Exam. It Still Fails With Real Patients.
A Nature Medicine study shows LLMs perform brilliantly alone — and falter when used by the public. The problem isn’t intelligence. It’s interaction.
“Take the vaccine, please”: Measles outbreaks test U.S. public health again
As measles cases rise across multiple states, even officials critical of past vaccine policy are drawing a clear line: measles vaccination matters.

Biological Age vs Chronological Age: What’s the Difference?
Chronological age is years lived. Biological age reflects how your body is functioning. Here’s what biological age tests measure, what they miss, and how to interpret results safely.
Healthspan vs Lifespan: What’s the Difference?
Lifespan measures how long you live. Healthspan measures how long you live free of major disease or disability. Understanding the difference changes how we think about aging.
