Excited to be presenting alongside Rohan Shad, MD on the state of AI in the operating room at the Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Transplantation Summit in Vail, CO! The Hiesinger Lab will finally be whole again! Register here: events.stanford.edu/event/stanford…

Our groundbreaking research on ‘Almanac: Retrieval Augmented Language Model for Clinical Medicine’ has just been published in NEJM AI. Check it out here: ai.nejm.org/stoken/default…

Our research on ‘Almanac: Retrieval Augmented LLMs for Clinical Medicine’ is finally out on NEJM AI! We demonstrate that LLMs augmented with tools (browser, calculators) outperform ChatGPT-4 & others on a novel dataset of 300+ questions assessed by board-certified physicians!

Huge congratulations to Dr Jennifer Romano! Our first (living) female president of the ⁦The Society of Thoracic Surgeons⁩ #sts2024. The organization is in incredibly good hands! Looking forward to 2024 program year ⁦WomenInThoracicSurg⁩

New Original Article: Augmenting LLMs with knowledge databases (e.g., browser, calculators) demonstrated improved factuality, safety, completeness, and physician preference when compared to other models. Read the full study by Cyril Zakka, MD and others: nejm.ai/42gpqhM

Super excited to showcase our newest work Almanac Copilot an EHR agent capable of answering questions about your patients and placing orders for you across any modern EHR system. Background: Nearly 75% of clinicians with burnout symptoms pinpoint EHRs as a source due to poor

Introducing MediSyn, a pair of text-guided diffusion models for generating high-fidelity and diverse medical 2D and 3D images across medical specialties and imaging modalities. arxiv.org/abs/2405.09806 1/n

Exciting week! We're also releasing an early preview of MediSyn, a family of text-diffusion models exploring the potential for generative models to synthesize medical data across many modalities (2D and 3D) and specialties (dermatology, radiology, pathology, GI, ophthalmology,

Catch our postdoc Cyril Zakka, MD presenting our work on Almanac at the Stanford HAI Five event today! Also a great lineup of speakers!

I’m giving a few talks on GenAI in Health in the next few months to technical founders and practicing clinicians across the US. Would love to highlight some open source medical AI projects in my slides and am looking for some suggestions. /cc Michael Moor Katie Link

In case you missed it, our team in collaboration with Akshay Chaudhari, Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD, Oliver Aalami, and Vishnu Ravi, MD defined a framework for autonomous EHR systems, and implemented the first Level 1 EHR system with retrieval and extractive capabilities! Check it out!

Two years ago to the day, I joined the Hiesinger Lab at Stanford Medicine, and now it’s time for me to wrap up this chapter of my life! 🎓 Reflecting back, I see a tapestry of efforts—my family's unwavering support, my friends’ continuous encouragement, my own growth—and some

🔥New preprint alert🔥 We're excited to share an early preview of 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗚𝗲𝗻, a text-diffusion model for generating surgical videos! This model can generate videos of higher quality (720x480) & longer duration (49 frames) than the current SoTA. Great work by Joseph Cho!

Had a great time talking about finite elements and generative AI in medicine at SJSU BME Pathways Seminar last week! Many thanks to my dear friend Prof. Ella Sugerman for the invite and to my Hiesinger Lab mates Joseph Cho and Cyril Zakka, MD for sharing their great results 🔥

The Hiesinger Lab Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery is at #AHA24! Catch lab members Rohan Shad, MD and Dhamanpreet Kaur presenting their work on uncovering hidden HCM diagnoses in the UKBioBank using deep learning for CMR🫀🧲💻🤖 Where: S104A When: 4:00 - 4:10 pm (CT), Nov 17

I’m making the model weights for our foundational CMR vision encoders (see pinned post) available free for academic use. Paper still in peer review, but can’t wait to see what everyone builds with this! Git: github.com/rohanshad/cmr_… Weights: huggingface.co/rohanshad/cmr_… #HNY2025

A huge congratulations to super-🌟 med student and Hiesinger Lab member Dhamanpreet Kaur! 🥳
