Scientific Voices is where clinicians, researchers, and innovators from our global network contribute insights from their work — whether it’s early-stage research, emerging technologies, or applied science in complex contexts. These pieces reflect OneGuild’s belief that the most meaningful breakthroughs arise when science meets lived experience. By creating space for these expert voices, we aim to advance not only innovation, but its relevance and reach.
Vascular surgeon Dr. Jayer Chung, from Baylor College of Medicine, shares how artificial intelligence is transforming how we understand and treat chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI), a serious diabetes complication. In this contribution, he outlines promising advances — from smarter risk prediction models to deep learning tools that support clinical decisions and mental health care.
Disparities in Care, Disparities in Outcomes:
Millions live with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), yet access to life- and limb-saving care remains vastly unequal. Dr. Alexander Fanaroff’s latest research sheds light on how race, geography, and socioeconomic status influence amputation outcomes — and why earlier, equitable intervention is urgent.
A new wave of wearable devices is raising old concerns. Dr. Bijan Najafi, from UCLA, issues a timely warning on the importance of clinical validation — and what’s at stake if we get it wrong.
