Mom passed away 10 years ago this month only 6 weeks after being diagnosed with NASH. I have been working ever since to raise awareness of this silent killer disease. Her story is the lede of this NYT article on fatty liver disease. nytimes.com/2024/10/01/wel…

Megan McArdle Medical and legal professions are chronically understaffed and have enormous backlogs due to the sheer amount of menial stuff that these fields require. They will be some of the fields to experience the AI renaissance first and will see rapid job EXPANSION, not decline. /1

Megan McArdle As just one example, I advocate to raise awareness of fatty liver disease, which impacts ~80 million Americans, most of whom are unaware they have it Doctors resist universal screening which could help with early intervention because they cannot handle the volume of patients /2

Megan McArdle It takes years to train hepatologists and the second they are brought on their schedules are essentially booked solid forever. GPs can act as first-line but are also time-constrained to ten minute annual checkups for their patients. LLM AIs will transform this paradigm /3

Megan McArdle By processing screening results and providing detailed and informative diagnosis and action plans, we can free up medical specialists to focus on the truly relevant at-risk patients with more severe conditions. AI can provide realtime and lifelong follow-up and guidance too /end

Ten years ago today my mother passed away only SIX weeks after being diagnosed with the liver disease NASH. It's a silent killer for so many becausenof a lack of screening and awareness. I wrote about dealing with her sudden loss here. nashaware.com/2018/10/02/a-s…

This incredible event hosted by Economist Impact & the UN General Assembly challenged some of the traditional dialogue and narrative around NASH/NAFLD and issued a challenge: we have enough data to act now.

At a recent UNGA sidelines event, many prominent health policy experts had never ever heard of NAFLD/NASH. How is it that our healthcare system is failing so badly to address this issue? And what can we do? nashaware.com/2024/12/11/our…

Fox News Jay Bhattacharya PETA Jay Bhattacharya loved your comment on the rise of chronic disease...we had funding to AHRQ last year for the first Congressionally funded study on NAFLD/NASH. Over 90 million American's are estimated to have some form of this disease and we need more attention from NIH!
