Beyond Sickcare: Harnessing Tech for True Healthcare

What can Life Science companies say or can't say

In this episode, we dive into one of the most important and often misunderstood parts of healthcare communication: What life science companies are allowed to say to patients and where the line is drawn. We explore how regulations shape the way information is shared, why clear and responsible communication matters. Along the way we look at how patients can take control, becoming the "CEO of their own health" and how platforms from TikTok to AI tools are reshaping the conversation around disese awareness.

Communicating Health with Beatrice Bourdel Grant

On this episode Communicating Health explores how life science, pharma and consumer health companies connect with people. From campaigns that spark real change to breaking taboos in intimate health, we look at the strategies , tools and stories shaping how health is talked about today.

Beyond Wellness - Biohacking as a Way of Life

In this episode of OpenSciences.ch, we sit down with Jim Cheng — technologist, performance optimiser, and dedicated biohacker — to explore the real meaning of biohacking beyond the buzzwords. What started as niche self-experimentation has now become a global movement: people taking control of their biology using tools like red light therapy, microdosing, cold exposure, and wearable data. But is biohacking about shortcuts — or sustainable, personalised health? We ask: * What does mental agility really mean, and can microdosing help? * Where’s the line between optimisation and obsession? * How do you separate hype from habit in the world of performance science? Jim shares his personal biohacking routines, insights on data-driven living, and why small daily decisions may have the biggest long-term impact on longevity and well-being. This is a grounded, science-forward conversation about living better — not just longer. 💼 Key Takeaways: 🔬 What biohacking actually is — beyond butter coffee and supplements. 🧠 How microdosing, cold exposure, and red light therapy may support mental agility and performance. 🔥 The fine line between science-backed longevity and wellness hype. 📊 Why optimizing your health isn't just a lifestyle — it's a mindset and a strategy. 🤯 Jim’s personal protocols and how he self-tests, tracks, and adjusts his routine. 📣 Quotes to Remember: "Biohacking isn't extreme — it's the next evolution of preventative health." — Jim Cheng "Small daily experiments create long-term breakthroughs." — Jim Cheng

That "T thing" - Testosterone

In this episode of Opensciences.ch, Jay & Nick chat with Roy Turner a technical development strategy leader with a PhD in pharmaceutics. We get into the " T Thing" - Testosterone the chemical messenger we all possess and explore everything from male baldness to how edging might boost testosterone, and a bunch of other weird and interesting stuff. Its a mix of science, real talk and a few a laughs along the way. We hope you enjoy.

Beyond Sickcare: Harnessing Tech for True Healthcare

In this episode of OpenSciences.ch, we’re joined by seasoned Pharma professional Chris Easton to explore a critical shift in modern healthcare: moving from a reactive "sickcare" system to a truly preventative "healthcare" model. Right now, we don’t have real healthcare—we have sickcare. We wait until someone gets ill before taking action, rather than focusing on keeping people healthy in the first place. But what if we could intervene earlier and prevent hospitalizations altogether? With the rise of wearable technology like Apple Watches, WHOOP, and Oura Rings, we now have more real-time health data than ever before. How can we use this data to shift the focus from treatment to prevention? What needs to change in the way we think about healthcare? Join us as we dive into these crucial questions and explore the future of proactive health management.
