In the latest episode of AI Grand Rounds, Dr. Byron Crowe, chief medical officer of Doctronic, describes how administrative complexity can interfere with timely, effective treatment, and how #AI may help address those challenges. Listen to the full episode: nejm.ai/ep41

In med school I bought a $15 noise machine to drown out the sirens and helicopters of Washington Heights. It worked. Or at least I thought it did. A new study suggests it may have been making things worse. 🧵 (1/13)

On tonight's All Things Considered on NPR, I discuss patients' use of AI for health. While there are risks, many patients benefit. Overall, I favor tools that guide patients through their symptoms (with iterative Q's & A's) rather than general tools like GPT or Gemini. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

The benefits of AI in health care outweigh potential hazards, many experts say

ChatGPT Health is OpenAI's foray into medicine, and so far, it gets high marks from both a cancer patient and a leading doctor. But there are worries it could be misused.

If you are at MGH tomorrow and want to see me try a mystery case, please come to the noon clinicopathological case conference! The CPCs are, IMO, the most important case series since the Hippocratic Epidemics, and it's the honor of a lifetime to flail through one publicly!

OpenEvidence has revenue of $50 million. But investors value it at $6.1 BILLION. So… a couple of questions for the “AI won’t replace doctors!” crowd: What do you think OE’s long-term monetization pathway looks like? And what do investors expect to happen that could justify this valuation?

Kind words from @medcrisis.bsky.social (and definitely not a techbro -- still use my wood carved stethoscope!). Thread expounds more on my quote in the article: "if we don't figure this out, we're screwed."

Interesting read. Nice to see my friend @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social – someone I really trust to be sensible with AI, def not a techbro cheerleader (perhaps the exact opposite!) Nevertheless I find passages like this very bleak. I have caught my students using AI too (but NOT on advice from medschool)

In the latest episode of the NEJM AI Grand Rounds podcast, Dr. Jonathan Chen discusses his path from teenage programmer to Stanford physician-informatician and why machine learning has both thrilled and unnerved him. Listen to the full episode: nejm.ai/ep35 #AI #MedSky

Another one from the Bleibach Totentanz - or Dance of Death. This scene shows death coming for the physician - and you can tell it’s a physician because of the urine flask, which used to be their primary diagnostic tool. It was believed that the colour of the urine would indicate the disease

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

IMO this is the best argument for robust benchmarks. We have no way of studying new models other than as if they were natural phenomena. Clinical trials are incredibly important -- but with this rate of change so is benchmarking for the foreseeable future.

The more my lab dissects large language models, the more I realize we have no unifying theory on how these models will behave. We study them like zoologists - poking and prodding and observing. When they get “updated”, there’s no way to predict changes in behavior other than using benchmarks.

Can a #MedEd #Podcast improve your OSCE score? Yes—and now it’s published! This RCT by V.Dupont et al. shows that listening to #NephrOdio leads to: 🎧 +3.5 OSCE score boost 💪 Better self-perception of clinical skills (42% vs 16%) ✅ 96% would use the podcast again 👉🏼 doi.org/10.1186/s129...

We are excited to share our latest results on AMIE, Google Research and Google DeepMind's conversational medical AI. TL;DR – in a blinded OSCE, AMIE was equivalent or better at diagnosis – but also at making management decisions. This is a big deal! 🧵⬇️

There is a lot of buzz about our new paper in Nature Medicine on the effects of LLMs (GPT-4) on physician management reasoning! I had TONS of fun working on this -- but what it MEANS requires some unpacking. A 🧵⬇️ bsky.app/profile/ucsf...

A new study in @natmedicine.bsky.social finds GPT-4 can enhance physicians’ clinical decision-making, improving open-ended management reasoning. While promising, experts stress the need for human oversight to mitigate risks like AI bias and over-reliance. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
