I worked closely with the author and designer to edit this e-book, Patient Earth. Published in 2025, it's packed with practical ideas to help hospitals increase profitability by solving healthcare’s pollution and waste problems. It's content that serves customers while showcasing a startup's capabilities.
Here's a project that had a real influence on public health policy. I collaborated with a panel of distinguished medical and scientific experts to create accessible summaries of this landmark report: Every breath we take: The lifelong impact of air pollution. This work was all about explaining complex science in simple terms, and making it immediately relevant.
The interviews for this case study took me into the wayback machine. A prototype that started out as two TVs attached to a motorcycle helmet has evolved into state-of-the art virtual reality. This is one in a series of blogs I wrote for LifeArc, a billion-dollar technology transfer organization that brings the Medical Research Council's work into practical applications.
In collaboration with HIMSS and the Colorado Office for eHealth Information (OeHI), I researched and wrote this update on our state's latest health IT roadmap. I was impressed by the OeHI team's dedication to genuine consultation. They really listened to stakeholders across the state: you can see that reflected in the plans and in my article.
