Two remote telemedicine clinics were established linked to a tertiary care center to improve access for special health care needs children (SHCNC). The remote clinics were established at Lamar University's School of Nursing (1996) and Stephen F. Austin University's School of Nursing (1997), and they were linked to the pediatric interdisciplinary team at the University of Texas Medical Branch. These clinics were evaluated to determine if the tertiary interdisciplinary team could effectively assess and plan interventions for SHCNC and to assess patient and caregivers satisfaction with this intervention. The interdisciplinary team and the patients and their families were highly satisfied with this arrangement.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of sports science by providing unprecedented insights and tools that enhance training, performance, and health management. This work examines how AI is advancing the role of sports scientists, particularly in team sports environments, by improving training load management, sports performance, and player well-being. It explores key dimensions such as load optimization, injury prevention and return-to-play, sports performance, talent identification and scouting, off-training behavior, sleep quality, and menstrual cycle management.

The "" under this Perspective underline the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships across several disciplines, such as medical science and technology, medicine, bioengineering, and computational approaches, in bridging the gap between research, manufacturing, and clinical applications. Effective communication is key to bridging team gaps, enhancing trust, and resolving conflicts, thereby fostering teamwork and individual growth toward shared goals. Drawing from the success of the COVID-19 vaccine development, we advocate the application of similar collaborative models in other complex health areas such as nanomedicine and biomedical engineering.
