OpenAI for helping find 18 new diagnoses across 376 previously unsolved medical cases.

Includes diagnosing Kyra, who has been trying to understand her muscle weakness since age 9, with a rare form of myofibrillar myopathy shortly before her 28th birthday.

Together with researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard, we published a study in NEJM AI showing how o3 Deep Research helped clinicians revisit previously unsolved rare pediatric disease cases, and find answers for families who had waited years.

Responsible AI for Social and Ethical Health: Clinical AI systems need a "Values In the Model" (VIM) label; like nutrition labels for the value tradeoffs embedded in every recommendation. Autonomy vs. beneficence? Cost vs. intervention? Make the hidden visible. @nejm_ai https://t.co/09oCNkzcmj CC @RanBalicer @johnbrownstein @aneeshchopra @vivianleemd @DavidBlumenthal @BeccaBrendel @joshCMandel @mandl @davidstutz92 @payal_chandak @BenGlicksberg @arjunmanrai @marinkazitnik @ayushnoori @swolf10 @iMGroschel

Is this what disruption of the medical establishment is going to look like? Calling service that includes transcription & summarization adds to most popular decision support AI used by clinicians in the US. Without going through their hospital CIO. Plus advertising. HT @mandl

Exciting new work from @thekaransinghal and the heatlh team at @OpenAI

[Karan Singhal @thekaransinghal]

📣 Excited to share our real-world study of an LLM clinical copilot, a collab between @OpenAI and @PendaHealth.

Across 39,849 live patient visits, clinicians with AI had a 16% relative reduction in diagnostic errors and a 13% reduction in treatment errors vs. those without. 🧵

Although Atul was always at the cutting edge of science he had the presence and expansive outlook of the intellectual giants of the previous century. His integrative approach to biomedicine has inspired thousands. But first he loved his family and friends with an enthusiasm that brought joy to all of us.

To quickly operationalize gen AI-assisted workflows, organizations are working together—alongside Epic experts—through a new program called Launchpad.

The program features a starter kit of gen AI use cases, helping orgs move from idea to operational gains in a matter of days.

[npj Digital Medicine @npjDigitalMed]

During the #pandemic, strategies like social distancing & mask-wearing were crucial, but monitoring compliance was difficult due to privacy concerns.

This study used a privacy-focused approach called the "federated cohort" to analyze intervention adherence patterns, showing that most participants followed safety measures until they were fully vaccinated, providing a model for conducting privacy-preserving research during public health emergencies.
