Photo: Grail Inc.New blood tests are taking on a growing role in early detection of such diseases as cancer and Alzheimer’s, among the most devastating health risks that emerge in aging. Using a single blood sample, one test released last year can detect early signals for more than 50 types of cancer, including some such as pancreatic cancer for which no routine preventive screening assays have existed up to this point. Other blood tests are proving accurate in detecting amyloid plaques—the proteins that clump together in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, leading to eventual loss of memory and thinking skills—even before cognitive declines have been experienced.

Hospitals are using technology in a new effort to target medical errors. Hospitals are turning to technology to address one of the most intractable risks their patients face: medical errors. More than two decades after the launch of a national patient-safety movement to tackle the alarming toll of medical mistakes, preventing those errors has proved much harder than expected. Despite research that shows some improvement over time, hospitalized patients are still at substantial risk of medication mishaps, hospital infections, breakdowns in nursing care, and complications from surgery and other procedures.
