New advances in digital imaging, artificial intelligence and robotics allow professionals to detect issues faster and more accurately. With so many exciting innovations in medicine, Newsweek and Statista are partnering for the fourth year to rank the World's Best Smart Hospitals 2025. This list recognizes 350 hospitals across 28 countries for their standout work in implementing new medical technologies. The rankings are determined by a global survey of health care professionals, as well as assessments of the facilities' technology usage and Joint Commission International accreditations. The ranking also recognizes facilities that stand out in certain categories like telemedicine, artificial intelligence and robotics. The United States, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Saudi Arabia and Singapore are among the 28 countries represented this year. We hope this list helps you find world-class, technologically advanced care for you and your loved ones.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
