Calls coming in are reports of homeless encampments, mental health crises and people sleeping on sidewalks.
Those calls will now be directed to Los Angeles County’s Emergency Centralized Response Center,
a new department designed to consolidate over 150 outreach teams across 88 cities, all under one roof.
The department soft-launched in January of this year following a motion that was introduced by LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath back in September 2024

An alliance for Cascadia's health
This week, reacting to the meltdown of the CDC under HHS leader and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the governors of three west coast states – Washington, Oregon, and California – announced the creation of the West Coast Health Alliance that will center their vaccine and other public health policies on science rather than politics. Hawaii announced this week it will also join the alliance.

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunizations chief
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said Sunday that
he’s concerned with the direction the agency is going and worried about public health going forward.
Daskalakis, who served as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases,
submitted his resignation from the CDC on Wednesday in protest following the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) removing CDC Director Susan Mona…

Bridging the Regulatory Divide: Ensuring Safety and Equity in Wearable Health Technologies
As wearable health technologies have grown more sophisticated, the distinction between "wellness" and "medical" devices has become increasingly blurred. While some features undergo formal U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review, many over-the-counter tools operate in a regulatory grey zone, leveraging health-related data and outputs without clinical validation. Further complicating the issue is the widespread repurposing of wellness devices for medical uses, which can introduce safety ri…

Developer Insights into Designing AI-Based Computer Perception Tools
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer perception (CP) technologies use mobile sensors to collect behavioral and physiological data for clinical decision-making. These tools can reshape how clinical knowledge is generated and interpreted. However, effective integration of these tools into clinical workflows depends on how developers balance clinical utility with user acceptability and trustworthiness. Our study presents findings from 20 in-depth interviews with developers of AI-based CP to…

“Simple, everyday choices – such as turning off a tap or deleting old emails – also really helps the collective effort to reduce demand and help preserve the health of our rivers and wildlife,” ~Helen Wakeham, Environment Agency Director of Water.
The Agency didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from The Verge about how much water it thought deleting files might save, nor how much water data centers that store files or train AI use in the UK’s drought-affected areas.

Treating Ebola can require extensive resources,
including protective equipment, medicines, and transportation to reach remote areas.
Health facilities in the area of the outbreak are already overwhelmed and quickly running low on critical resources,
including clean water and protective equipment.
The only treatment center in the epicenter of the outbreak, the Bulape health zone,
is at 119 percent capacity, the AP reported,
citing information from the Int…

Three of the four California counties empowered to inspect federal immigration detention facilities
💥have not done so,
and the fourth has conducted only basic reviews of food this year, records obtained by CalMatters show.
If they were checking, local officials would be providing an additional layer of oversight
at a time when the number of people held in detention centers has surged because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on unauthorized immigrants.

California gave counties power to inspect ICE detention centers. They’re not using it
California's seven ICE detention centers have to open their doors to local health departments. So far, county officials aren't making much use of that power.

The hidden health risks of wood-burning and eco stoves in homes
Households are being warned about the dangers of wood-burning stoves, including modern eco-design models, as a new study by the University of Surrey's Global Center for Clean Air Research (GCARE) has found that the use of woodstoves results in short-term exposures to high concentrations of toxic pollutants.

Deciphering the influence of demographic factors on the treatment of pediatric patients in the emergency department
Persistent demographic disparities have been identified in the treatment of patients seeking care in the emergency department (ED). These may be driven in part by subconscious biases, which providers themselves may struggle to identify. To better understand the operation of these biases, we performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis using electronic health records describing 339,400 visits to the ED of a single US pediatric medical center between 2019-2024. Odds ratios were calculated u…

Small Data Explainer -- The impact of small data methods in everyday life
The emergence of breakthrough artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has led to a renewed focus on how small data settings, i.e., settings with limited information, can benefit from such developments. This includes societal issues such as how best to include under-represented groups in data-driven policy and decision making, or the health benefits of assistive technologies such as wearables. We provide a conceptual overview, in particular contrasting small data with big data, and identify comm…
