Science doesn’t stall for lack of knowledge, it stalls when systems can’t act together.

On World Health Day, standing with science means designing coordination, not just generating evidence.

Collective sovereignty turns parallel efforts into shared impact.

How AI can transform Clinical Trial Matching. We’re proving it in Rotterdam in May 2026. What if AI could do the heavy lifting — and know when to ask for help? That's the question we're tackling at the May 2026 HL7 FHIR Connectathon in Rotterdam. Building on our January 2026 findings, our...

Too many patients never find the trial they qualify for — not because trials don't exist, but because the eligibility criteria describing who can join are buried in free-text that no system can reliably read.

We’re trying to change that!

Sponsorship in Action

Had a great conversation with Georgia Mourad Brooks, Daniel Friedlaender, and Helen Tubb on the latest #EqualityMansplained episode about sponsorship in action.

The defining challenge of our time is learning how to act together.
Across health, sustainability & equity, progress often moves in parallel instead of compounding.
The Synergist Manifesto outlines five practical shifts for working in complexity.
www.thesynergist.org/manifesto

Can AI understand clinical trial eligibility?

Only if it’s designed to recognise ambiguity, surface uncertainty, and pause for human expertise. Our work at the HL7 FHIR Connectathon reinforced that trust and precision matter more than speed.

Global health is at an inflection point: shared intent is outpacing collective action. Nicholas Brooke reflects on why collaboration is the binding constraint and why Synergist matters.

Engagement changes everything because it rewires relationships.

When people are fully involved in their care, systems become lighter, smarter, and more responsive.

Thanks Alana. Usability and training absolutely get the tools adopted, still it’ll be wise regulation, economics (value-based care), and open standards that will work to break down healthcare's data silos and drive interoperability.

Thanks. Turn up the first time and keep turning up in order to get sustained forward motion. Once sponsorship gets the intended results, then check-in now and again. Sponsoring professionally is always rewarding no matter how many attempts it takes.
