Calgary, Alberta – The Heart and Stroke Foundation is committed to helping and treating those affected by heart disease and strokes. In a recent episode of Built Modular, Gabrielle Bejarano sat down with Berscht, the Director of Health Policy and Systems Division, to discuss the importance of stroke awareness.

Berscht revealed that she has a personal connection to heart disease and strokes, having lost both of her grandparents to the conditions when she was a child. She emphasizes that strokes are a health condition that can affect anyone and highlights the vital importance of identifying the signs of a stroke with the helpful acronym F.A.S.T.

F.A.S.T. stands for Face, Arms, Speech, and Time, and Samantha explains that it is an easy way to remember the signs and symptoms of a stroke. She emphasizes that calling 911 immediately is crucial, as every second counts in the event of a stroke.

Samantha is proud to work for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and believes strongly in its mission. The Foundation has been able to effect positive change and offers vital support to those affected by heart disease and strokes.

Understanding what a stroke is and how to identify the signs is crucial to better treating and understanding it. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is an excellent resource for those seeking help and support.

Seeking medical evaluation immediately after a vehicle crash, regardless of how you feel, is essential because adrenaline can mask serious injuries for hours or days. A same-day medical visit creates a documented paper trail tied to the accident date, which protects against insurance companies disputing injury claims and denial of compensation.

  • 01Feeling fine immediately after a vehicle crash may not accurately reflect one's health condition.
  • 02The body's response to stress can delay the onset of injury symptoms.
  • 03Seek medical evaluation after a crash, even if injuries aren't immediately apparent.

Who's Really Running Healthcare? (When Physicians No Longer Have a Voice) - Dr. Krishna Vedala

Who's Really Running Healthcare? (When Physicians No Longer Have a Voice) - Dr. Krishna Vedala

Physician burnout stems not just from workload but from loss of meaningful voice in healthcare organizations. Dr. Krishna Vedala discusses how primary care is mismanaged as a procedural business, how AI should free physicians from administrative work rather than replace them, and why physicians may need collective representation to restore trust between clinicians and administrators.

  • 01Physicians increasingly lack meaningful participation in organizational decisions, despite being closest to patients and responsible for care delivery.
  • 02Primary care requires complex, nuanced decision-making but is often managed with productivity expectations designed for procedural specialties, pushing work home and some physicians toward breaking point.
  • 03AI's highest value is reducing administrative burden and documentation so physicians have more time with patients, not replacing clinical judgment or human relationships.

MRI segmentation models can now label 80 structures, but deployment is the hard part

MRI segmentation models can now label 80 structures. TotalSegmentator MRI is an nnU-Net model that provides rapid segmentation of all major organs across all MRI sequences, according to Radiology Business. For health systems, deployment is the hard part.

  • 01The spread between 0.97 Dice on lungs and 0.54 on portal and splenic veins in MRSegmentator is the real operational story: enterprises need confidence flags and escalation paths, not a single headline score.
  • 02Hospitals planning radiation oncology and neuro volumetry programs can treat segmentation speedups as capacity gains only if downstream steps, contour review, dose planning inputs, and reporting templates, are standardized.
