Do you use a fitness tracker? More and more people are tracking their activities with a smart watch, fitness bracelet or even a smart ring.

What is flow with Dr. G?

“Science provides the knowledge we need to improve our health, but it is also its role to ensure that knowledge is accessible to all. » – Dr. Samir Gupta

Nothing matters more than our health. And science is the key to understanding and maximizing our health and well-being. Yet new studies are published in the news every day, and it seems impossible to keep up and understand what's important. At the same time, science is too often presented in a traditional style that is unnecessarily complex and difficult to understand.

As a doctor and scientist, my mission is to find new approaches to making science clear, transparent and easy to understand (obviously!) – for everyone. In our digital world, The Feed is designed to keep people engaged and informed on the latest topics and scientific advances in health and medicine, and to separate fact from fiction.
