From the humble pedometer to smartwatches that warn of heart problems, we've been using digital technology to help make health decisions for decades. But despite its enormous potential in addressing healthcare challenges, an accessible overview of people's understanding of health information and digital health tools has been lacking.

Dr Emil Djakic, a member of the RACGP Expert Committee on Funding and Health System Reform, called for sensible changes to be made. "Criminal history checks play a key role in keeping patients across Australia safe; however, it's important that we get the finer details right to alleviate unnecessary stress for GPs," he said.

"Hurt dogs sure do holler." That was the saying that came to mind in 2008 when then-candidate for president Barack Obama drew outrage from Republicans because he described their voters as "bitter" people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them." The phrase came to mind again in 2016, when Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used the memorable phrase "basket of deplorables" to describe supporters of Donald Trump. Since a cardinal rule of politics is "insult your opponent, but never their voters," the mainstream media picked up and amplified the umbrage-taking from Republicans.
