iPhone notes app is the purest reflection of our humanity (Wired.com) and a medical informatics observation

By CT Lin | January 28, 2026

What’s on your notes app in your phone? WIRED argues that this simple, unfiltered blank page is the easiest place for us to store our unfiltered thoughts. How true. For me: fragments of blog post ideas, books I hear about, movies to watch, hilarious quote from family members, messy to-do lists. Hotel room numbers. Parking garage locations. Who knows? What’s on yours?

UCHealth Parkview reduces sepsis deaths (Beckers)

By CT Lin | December 12, 2025

The story continues. Our EHR, partnered with Epic predictive AI model among other predictive tools have reduced sepsis mortality by 1000 fewer deaths per year compared to our baseline, as we find and treat sepsis earlier with reconfigured teamwork in addition to improved detection tools. Another tale of the Psycho-80: 80% of a project’s success is about the psycho-socio-political skills of the people and 20% of the success is due to technology. Grateful for smart colleagues and partners. (image, our fearless informatics leaders, analysts and trainers having a well-deserved meal after another EHR implementation day)
