There are many reasons why people don’t take medicines their clinicians prescribe for them; medication non-adherence is a long-time challenge for our individual health, public health, and health spending. In my latest post on the Medecision Liberate Health blog portal, I discuss the context of drivers of health for prescription drugs and some solutions to addressing this perennial obstacle.

I am so grateful to Tom Lawry for asking me to pen the foreword for his book, Health Care Nation, which will be published in late March 2025. Tom, known for his pioneering leadership in AI, has rediscovered his voice for health policy -- and health citizenship. He is asking Big Questions and asking us to do the same -- and act on those insights for our own health, the health of people we love, and the health of our fellow health citizens. The uplifting subtitle: "The future is calling and it's better than you think." Onward!
Thanks to Feedspot for naming this blog, Health Populi, as a top 100 best healthcare technology blogs and websites in 2025. It's gratifying to be in such great company with KevinMD, The Health Care Blog, the Journal of AHIMA and other online resources that inform my health-tech views.
