Mapping Healthcare, episode 28: Pharmacists preventing medication mix‑ups from Victoria

Transitions of care from hospital to home are some of the riskiest moments in a person’s healthcare journey. Medication lists change, high‑risk medications require careful monitoring, and patients often deal with overwhelming amounts of instructions. Linda Graudins tells us how pharmacists help people on complex medication regimens navigate these challenges safely. We’ll look at a process called medication reconciliation which is a bit like medication detective work and helps pharmacists keep those potentially dangerous transitions from home to hospital and back to your home, smooth and safe.

Hello Davis!, Feb. 25, 2026: The legal and moral aspects of facial recognition

Today's subject is facial recognition, a biometric AI technology that maps facial features from photos or video to verify or identify individuals by comparing them against a database. It operates in three main steps: capturing an image, measuring landmarks (like distance between eyes) to create a digital signature, and comparing it to stored.

The question is, should the public be aware and approve of our facial recognition being used for any number of activities?
