    Soroush_Saghaf We need to deliver care wherever the patient is, not just in homes. For this, we need to resolve scientific and regulatory challenges facing mHealth technologies. See our discussion @theNAMedicine here t.co/ZrKtjP5RCz and also in this podcast t.co/edQU1dGmBb t.co/czpOFDAFfh

    Soroush_Saghaf With this logic by @DLeonhardt, we should also remove stop signs b/c in many places people do not fully follow them. Also, the “Evidence” section of the article does not fully match what research shows. Our own models showed that mandates saved QALYs. t.co/VagrcT8mbW

  • Soroush_Saghaf
    Soroush_Saghaf Great piece by @DLeonhardt. The logic behind 1-way masking is weak though. Not correctly following good policies by individuals shouldn't discourage social planners from enacting such policies. We can improve adherence instead of throwing in the towel. t.co/eBYUnLSu2a
