In their new Forefront article, @ZayedYasin, @neel_shah, and @DBatesSafety of @Get_Writer, @Harvard, and @harvardmed argue that a well-defined framework for classifying health care AI systems based on their risks and potential benefits is urgently needed. https://t.co/ivhENH4arU
My new column about the Gaza war and the mutual dehumanization that is the most savage I’ve ever seen it in decades of on-the-ground reporting in the region. A sad column to write: https://t.co/mmbFPX1oQj
Predictive AI has struggled to impact healthcare delivery, due to a fundamental mismatch between the technology and work to be done. Generative AI is different - rather than making predictions of dubious utility, GenAI can actually do work
@JohnMeara@GlobalFund@richardhorton1 This is an absolute travesty - @GlobalFund showing itself to be corrupt and unaccountable- hiding behind Swiss “jurisdiction” like a global money launderer
As we learn more and more about how financial forces & profit motives drive our hospitals, exploit workers, and harm patients, @sanjaykishore31 and I often wondered: who is actually in charge of our health systems?

The word is out, we raised from @GVteam. We tend to be low key about financings since they aren't the focus, our patient impact is.

@thesamparr Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil by Hannah Arendt. Shows how a peoples’ moral compass can so easily be twisted, and how much of the work of the Holocaust was done by banal office workers
Absurd that @Google, the best UI/UX company in the world, is partnering with an EHR famous for looking like it’s still 1984 https://t.co/1Ud3kRbKJL via @statnews
@Delta told me, on 48 hrs notice, that the rules changed and I need a COVID test to transit @Schiphol. I spend 3 hours and $200 scrambling, and today - never mind. Will you do more than “apologize for the inconvenience?” #Delta@thepointsguy#travelers
@chrissyfarr It’s not about money it’s about power - and the ability of state medical boards to protect their members from outside competition (or enforce quality, depending on your POV)
I see 100's of digital health companies - have started to see a pattern. Companies that give clinicians a voice in the process and a seat at the table of digital health product development generally do better than those that don't. The best companies have a Chief Medical Officer
Corollary:
The house the “front door” leads to matters. What did you build it with?
Part-time labor, cheap materials, lax oversight, multiple contractors?
You’ll build faster & with higher margin.
Let’s see if it stands tests of time, weathers storms, and settles in well.
