New research paper alert! 🚨 I've combined economics with ideas from biochemists and medical doctors to explore what's driving obesity and other metabolic diseases. The main finding? Vegetable seed oils seem to play a big role. 🌱🛢️ (1/25) tyleransom.github.io/research/obesi…

This is a shocking read—every time you think it can’t get worse, it does. Huge thanks to the authors for exposing this, and for the reminder to ***choose the right prediction target*** (Or in this case, choose to do good causal inference instead of bad prediction)

Great to host Ziad Obermeyer the 2024 Innovator in Diagnosis Winner from the Center I lead here at University of Maryland School of Medicine medschool.umaryland.edu/cid/ Talk on optimizing risk prediction & testing for heart attacks / better analysis of EKGs to predict sudden cardiac death.👇 youtube.com/watch?v=ytpeuq…

Interested in using LLMs to automate writing clinical notes? Remember stories like this, which happen all the time. Writing = thinking. LLMs can and do help us think, but not if they are implemented thoughtlessly.

how come nobody is talking about how much shittier eng on-calls are thanks to blind integrations of AI-generated code? LLMs are great coders but horrible engineers. no, the solution is not “prompt the LLM to write more documentation and tests” (cont.)

Our new Harvard/Stanford study out today in Nature Medicine! Our results show language models, while strong at medical exams, stumble when they need to gather patient information through natural conversation - a key finding as healthcare explores AI integration. How to solve?

We all love sharing things that show how great our companies are are. Im clearly doing that here with LookDeep Health But if you look into the release (in comment) and the pursuit of the first peer reviewed paper on Vision AI in Smart Hospitals (by a company), you will see the

Our article on using LLMs to improve health equity is out in NEJM AI! 85% of equity-related LLM papers focus on *harms*. But equally vital are the equity-related *opportunities* LLMs create: detecting bias, extracting structured data, and improving access to health info.

Big launch today from our lab at Harvard: 𝐑𝐞𝐗𝐕𝐐𝐀 – a large-scale, high quality question answering benchmark for chest X-rays. This represents a challenge for existing large frontier models, but one we believe will serve as a good progress measure for next gen models.
