Before the Storm: Early Warning as a Clinical Imperative

SafeGround, LoRa mesh networks, and the physician's role in disaster intelligence. Early warning systems are almost universally framed as an engineering problem. They are not. They are a clinical one. The physician at the scene of a disaster is not a passive observer — they are a sensor, an analyst, and a communicator simultaneously. The question is whether the infrastructure exists to make their observations useful in time.

Genomic Dual-Use Risk and the Weaponisation of -Omic Technologies

How convergent AI and genomic advances have transitioned biosecurity threats from "possibly plausible" to probable. The same sense-assess-classify architecture that SafeGround applies to natural disaster detection applies directly to biological threat surveillance. This article explores the intersection of AI, genomics, and early warning — and what physicians need to understand about the biosecurity landscape.
