Congrats to Christopher A. Longhurst, MD for being awarded the AMIA Don Eugene Detmer for his health policy advocacy work in informatics! We are lucky to have his leadership at UC San Diego Health, where we can test and shape informatics policy ideas in practice. amia.org/news-publicati…


New research out now! 🍔🏫 We mapped food outlets around schools in regional & metro Australia using Google Street View, finding that unhealthful options have dominated for 17 years. Time for action to promote healthier environments for adolescents! 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A Johns Hopkins University study found that measuring 162 quality metrics cost >$5 mil. Our team at UC San Diego Health, led by Drs. Aaron Boussina and Shamim Nemati, found that LLMs are a great way to scale quality measurement - needed for a learning health system. Paper: ai.nejm.org/stoken/default…












📢📜 Excited to share that our paper "On the conversational persuasiveness of GPT-4" has been published in Nature Human Behaviour! 🤖 Key takeaway: LLMs can already reach superhuman persuasiveness, especially when given access to personalized information nature.com/articles/s4156…

2. SubPOP led by Joseph Jeesung Suh - we show that fine-tuning LLMs on high-quality survey data greatly improves their ability to represent diverse opinions of different subpopulations and generalizes to unseen surveys and groups! - arxiv.org/abs/2504.07114 - arxiv.org/abs/2502.16761



At MESH Incubator™ at Mass General Brigham 2025, Harvard Medical School’s Isaac Kohane shared a striking case: GPT-4 recommended treatment to a patient when assessing from the perspective of a doctor—but denied treatment as an insurer. Same patient, same facts, different values. #Harvard harvardmagazine.com/2025/05/harvar…
