Caregiver health: looking after yourself while caring for someone else

Caring for someone can mean hands-on care, paperwork, supervision or daily support. The carer’s own health often slips down the list. Recognizing the role, watching a few signals and arranging cover are prevention, not abandoning the person you care for.

Menopause in the workplace: improving working conditions without stigma

Heat, broken nights, fatigue or trouble concentrating can make work harder for some employees during perimenopause. Employers do not need to diagnose anything or collect medical information. What they can do is improve working conditions, offer confidential adjustments and make sure that asking for help never costs anyone their career.

Explainable AI in healthcare: what an explanation must let clinicians do

Explainability is more than a heatmap or a generated sentence. In healthcare, an explanation has to fit the intended use, make sense to the person reading it, show uncertainty and support real human oversight. Here is a checklist to apply before and after deployment.

Pharmacogenetic testing: what it can tell you about your medicines, and what it can’t

Your genes can affect how your body processes or tolerates certain medicines. But a pharmacogenetic test is neither a crystal ball nor a user manual: it only helps for well-documented gene-drug pairs, read alongside the rest of your record, and tied to a decision made by a professional.

Return to work after sick leave: how employers can prepare a lasting return

A successful return is not decided on the first day back. It is prepared during the absence, without pressure and without asking the employee for a diagnosis. The employer’s job is to keep a respectful line open, work with occupational health, then put the agreed adjustments in place and follow them up.

Fall prevention for older adults: what to do at home after 65

A fall is neither an inevitable part of ageing nor just a problem with a rug. The risk usually comes from several factors at once: balance, strength, eyesight, medicines, footwear, the home. Preventing falls starts with spotting that risk, then building a plan with the right professionals.

Alert fatigue: how to cut the noise in clinical decision support

An alert only makes care safer if it reaches the right person, at the right time, with an action they can take. When everything interrupts, nothing stands out. Reducing alert fatigue takes clinical governance, measurable criteria and a continuous improvement loop, not just a new interface.

Adult vaccination schedule: how to check where you stand

Vaccination does not stop in childhood. As an adult, what is recommended depends on your country, your age, the vaccines you have already had, your health, your job and your travel. Here is how adult schedules are set, France’s 2026 schedule as a worked example, and a method to find your records, spot a due date and prepare a vaccine review, without deciding on a dose alone.

Patient risk stratification: from score to clinical action

Sorting patients by risk level can help prioritize follow-up, provided each category triggers a proportionate action. Population, time horizon, calibration, missing data, bias and governance are settled before deployment. Risk stratification supports clinical judgment; it does not replace it.

Cancer screening programs: who they are for, how often, and what a positive result means

Cancer screening programs invite people without symptoms to take a specific test at set intervals, and the details vary from country to country. Here is the European baseline, then France as a worked example: who is eligible, which test, how often, what a positive result means, and why a symptom should never wait for an invitation.

Workplace mental health: fix the work, not just the people

A helpline or a wellbeing app cannot make up for excessive workload, conflicting goals or a lack of control over one’s job. Workplace mental health starts with an honest look at how work is really done, and with collective action on its causes. Individual support still matters, as long as it never turns into surveillance.

Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention: the three levels explained

Prevention is more than lifestyle advice. It acts before a disease appears, when it can still be caught early, and after diagnosis to limit complications. Understanding the primary, secondary and tertiary levels helps you build a coherent plan, without mistaking prevention for a promise of zero risk.

Health data quality: measuring it against its intended use

Data that has been exchanged is not necessarily data you can trust. Its quality cannot be judged in the abstract, only against the decision it supports. Here is a framework for measuring it by use case, correcting without erasing, tracking it over time and preparing data for an AI model.

Workplace metabolic health: building a program that helps, without stigma

Longevity medicine: personalized prevention, not anti-aging medicine

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs): bringing the patient’s voice into clinical follow-up

PROMs capture what patients perceive of their symptoms, functioning and quality of life. Their value does not lie in the questionnaire alone, but in the workflow around it: a defined use, a validated instrument, a score discussed in the consultation and a documented action.

Healthy aging at work: what employers can do, based on evidence

Across Europe, people are working longer and more workers over 55 are in employment. Their health has become a prevention and HR topic. Here is what employers can do, based on institutional sources: adapt work rather than target an age group, make use of the health checks that already exist, and leave each person’s health between them and their health professionals.

Sleep and shift work: how employers can prevent fatigue without monitoring nights

Biological age: what the tests really measure, and what they don’t tell you

A blood draw or a saliva sample, and out comes a number: your biological age. Behind it lies serious research, but also estimates that disagree from one test to the next, and promises to “reverse” your age that the evidence does not back. What these tests measure, how much they are worth, and what to do with the result.

Healthspan: what science really knows about living longer in good health
