Universities are key incubators of "early-stage, high-risk, high-yield research that transfers to the private sector."

U.S. Federal Trade Commission said that the cloud-based electronic health record vendor misled patients into sharing sensitive medical without knowing it could be posted in a public-facing provider directory.  

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs formally removed three senior officials on Wednesday and said doing so sets the stage for moving forward.

The pediatric endocrinologist at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital is known for his HealthKit pilot study on Type 1 diabetes patients.
