From handoffs to fluid teamsTraditionally, product managers, designers and engineers have worked through handoffs: one defines the opportunity, one translates it into an experience, one turns that experience into a product. This created specialisation, but also delays and misunderstandings. AI is making those boundaries more permeable. Product…

She said that high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol problems can remain silent for years, while inherited conditions can also raise a person’s risk even…
