“These findings suggest that, with purposeful and ethical design, generative AI can deliver proactive population-level well-being interventions that produce measurable benefits.”

NEJM AI@ai.nejm.org · 2d ago

A new study evaluates Flourish, a mobile app using generative AI to deliver personalized, strengths-based well-being support to young adults through an AI well-being coach, in a 6-week randomized trial across three U.S. campuses. Learn more: https://nejm.ai/3TJ9iVy

“the framework explicitly models and predicts patient trajectories under interventions… these capabilities position EHR-MPC as a flexible decision-support framework that aligns with the requirements of clinical practice”

AI Firehose@ai-firehose.column.social · 2w ago

A study reveals EHR-MPC, a framework using generative patient digital twins to enhance sepsis treatment. By decoupling patient dynamics from decisions, it outperforms traditional reinforcement learning, offering a solid solution for better outcomes in critical care. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.08793

I had an infuriating insurance denial for an extremely important medication. I had many pieces of evidence about why their clinical criteria were unscientific and out of date. It took me thirty seconds to make a terrifying document out of that documentation. We won our appeal.

I have a lot of doubts and qualms and issues and etc. about LLMs in many contexts—but as far as using them to navigate the nightmare world of our extant digital bureaucracy, I have exactly one thought

This is why you shouldn’t use the term side effect. If it’s a positive side effect, it’s a benefit. It’s a negative side effect, it’s an adverse effect. “Side” just means anything that’s not the primary intended effect.

Michael Bazaco@mcbazacophd.bsky.social · last mo.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

I use this agentic AI workflow in a new Health AI post to dispel the myth that AI can't be trusted because it hallucinates. Agents can improve trust by breaking tasks into pieces with checks that reduce hallucinations caused by LLMs healthaiinsights.substack.com/p/myth-vs-re... #ai #agenticAI #llms

Myth vs. Reality: AI Can't Be Trusted Because It Hallucinates

Agentic AI can address this issue by providing checks and balances

There are 3 metaphors floating around to describe negative relationship dynamics with AI. - Cyranoid (from the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac) - Cordyceps (a genus of parasitic fungi) - The Borg (Star Trek baddie) So of course I used AI to make an infographic.

My new @thetransmitter.bsky.social piece. Does Claude AI have emotions? *No*. Does Claude have nontrivial emotion-equivalents? *Yes*. Like your "memory" vs your laptop's; similar but not the same. Here, I unpack why that's interesting. www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/what...

What can AI teach us about ‘emotions’?

Exploring why Anthropic’s AI, Claude, displays something like emotion could ultimately help us better understand the function that emotions serve in humans.

New paper (on an old AI model) tests o1 against doctors on medical benchmarks & real ER cases: “across a variety of scenarios and applications, the large language model outperformed both human physicians and older models” The high potential of AI suggests an “urgent need for prospective trials.”

You've never seen human anatomy like this before. Using a particle accelerator, the Human Organ Atlas is producing 3D scans of our organs in unprecedented detail! You can look through different layers of tissue and even zoom in on the cells for the heart, lungs, eyes, kidneys, and more.

Cygnus X-1 was the first black hole ever discovered. I commissioned what I think is the first actually to-scale artistic depiction of it. This matters because Cygnus X-1 is wildly interesting once you understand what you’re actually looking at. 🧵

A labeled space illustration of the Cygnus X-1 system. On the left, a huge glowing blue supergiant star fills most of the frame, with only part of its curved edge visible. On the right, the black hole companion is shown at the correct scale as an almost invisible point, highlighted by a magnified inset circle labeled “Accretion disc diameter ~15000 km.” The inset shows the tiny bright accretion disk around the black hole. White measurement lines label the star’s radius as 0.1 astronomical units and the distance from the star’s surface toward the black hole as 15 million km, also marked as 0.1 AU. The caption “Cygnus X-1” appears at the bottom. Commissioned artwork.
