How radical is your thinking when it comes to Longevity?

Building Pathways for Tomorrow’s Medical Imaging Professionals 🙏 As the President of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), Heather M. has a clear vision: elevate the visibility of our field, expand our reach, and enhance patient care quality and safety. Each initiative she’s set forth this year embodies a strategic step towards fulfilling ASRT’s mission to advance our profession. Here’s how Heather’s leadership is guiding us into a new era. 1. Building Pipelines into the Profession One of Heather’s first initiatives focuses on creating awareness and interest in medical imaging and radiation therapy among young students. By targeting middle and high school students—and their guidance counselors—ASRT aims to open doors to a career in radiologic sciences, where many might not have considered it before. Heather’s approach here is twofold: raise visibility among youth through partnerships with national career development organizations, and leverage platforms like Daniel (Danny) Gonzales, MSRS, RT(R) FASRT’s “Be Seen” campaign and Brandon Smith’s community recognition initiative to drive interest in medical imaging. Increased early exposure can be pivotal. Studies show that career choices are often influenced by early encounters, especially in fields that require specialized training like radiologic technology (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). By establishing ASRT’s presence at school career events, Heather is positioning radiologic technology as a viable, rewarding path for students considering their futures. Not only will this effort help grow our workforce, but it will also create a more diverse pool of future ASRT members, ensuring the profession thrives in the coming years. 2. Championing Inclusive Care for Individuals with Disabilities Heather’s second initiative emphasizes ASRT’s commitment to inclusive patient care, especially for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). To equip radiologic technologists, she is introducing new continuing education (CE) resources focused on IDD care. This specialized training addresses a critical gap, ensuring all patients receive high-quality, empathetic service, and fostering a more inclusive healthcare experience for individuals with disabilities. 3. Community Outreach Through ASRT and Big Brothers Big Sisters Finally, Heather is bringing a community-first mindset by connecting ASRT with Big Brothers Big Sisters, one of the nation’s largest mentoring organizations. Hosting tours of the ASRT Museum and Archives for youth involved in this program gives them a chance to explore the rich history and dynamic future of medical imaging and radiation therapy. Heather Moore’s initiatives are already in motion, and their collective impact has the potential to reshape ASRT’s outreach and influence in communities nationwide. #nrtw2024 #radiologictechnologist #xray #radiologix

Come join the conversation! Seth-Aaron Martinez, PhD and I will be sharing some #neuroscience applications #IDs can use to support #neurodivergent #adultlearners. We would love to know how you are using or seeing #neuroscience in #learningdesign to support #workplacelearning and #highereducation. Thanks Association for Educational Communications & Technology (AECT) for supporting us with an #AWARD!

Revolutionizing Patient Data Monetization: The MyRxWallet Approach In today’s digital age, healthcare systems are sitting on mountains of patient data, often collected through EHRs and other digital platforms. This data holds immense value for innovations like precision medicine, drug discovery, and even AI models, yet, as a society, we continue to grapple with one essential question: Who should benefit from this data? At MyRxWallet, we believe the answer is clear—patients should. After all, it’s their data. Currently, many healthcare systems and startups debate the ethics of commercializing patient data without direct consent. While some institutions take a cautious approach, others rush into the market without considering the patient’s rights. But why not empower patients to have control and directly benefit from their own data? Through MyRxWallet’s blockchain-powered platform, we are creating a future where patients have full ownership of their health data, and they can monetize it when they choose. Using decentralized and tamper-proof technologies, patients can securely share anonymized health data for research, clinical trials, or drug development—all while being compensated for it. This not only empowers patients but also opens new doors for healthcare innovation. Our vision isn’t just about protecting data—it’s about creating a new healthcare ecosystem where patients are stakeholders in their health journey and benefit financially from the value their data generates. At MyRxWallet, we aren’t just building technology; we’re building patient empowerment. Let’s change the conversation. Let’s give patients control over what’s rightfully theirs. #Blockchain #HealthcareInnovation #DataMonetization #PatientData #DataOwnership #AI #MyRxWallet #Web3 #HealthcareTransformation
