Last update: 3 hours ago

Wearable-to-clinic push: WHOOP rolled out new AI features plus on-demand video consults with licensed clinicians for U.S. users, and it’s syncing data with HealthEx so clinicians can see biometric and medical history inside the app—coming less than two months after a $575M funding round. State hospital safety: Tewksbury State Hospital security can again use “less-lethal” tools after a recent spike in attacks, a move framed as improving safety for staff and patients. Immigration care scrutiny: A federal judge blocked DOJ from forcing a Rhode Island hospital to turn over minors’ gender-affirming care records, citing privacy and bad-faith tactics. Local health access: NeighborHealth and the EASTIE Coalition opened a Youth Space at the East Boston YMCA to expand substance-misuse prevention and mentorship. Cardio device momentum: The IVL calcium-fracturing category keeps drawing major medtech investment as companies race to reshape hard-artery procedures. Community health perks: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is funding $20 Bluebikes credits for National Bike Month.
