VIDEO | Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh: Gen alpha takes protest to collectorate over dilapidated primary school building. Students of Prathmik Shala, Meharagaon, gathered at the collectorate to draw the attention of authorities to the dilapidated condition of their school building.

Carrying placards and raising slogans, the children began narrating their everyday struggles and spoke of the fear of risking their lives simply by attending school.

I talked about the Year -5 framing for getting into a new domain.

As a company, we encourage experienced people to get out of their comfort zone and get into the Year -5 mode once in a while. The motto is "Don't delegate, DO" when it comes to new domains.

Recently some of our senior people have gotten deep into adopting AI. I have been working with a small tech team on foundational technologies.

That exploratory freedom keeps us fresh and enables us to retain talent long term.

Those “direct-to-physician” CDS AI tools like OpenEvidence and DoximityGPT? They're now going after health systems too. My 5 thoughts on how this will all play out:

First, the gist of what was announced:

→ Sutter Health will integrate OpenEvidence with Epic, allowing physicians to access the AI medical search engine directly within the patient chart

→ UC San Diego Health is rolling DoximityGPT - their AI medical search engine - across the organization, while also making its AI scribe tool available

My 5 thoughts on all this:

1/ This move to compete in the enterprise was 100% inevitable. Especially for OpenEvidence that just raised $250M at a $12B valuation, the only way to justify that valuation is to keep rapidly increasing revenue growth - and they can’t do that without increasing their Total Addressable Market beyond individual physicians. If they are truly already used by 40% of US physicians, then revenue growth is going to plateau if they don’t grow into adjacent markets.

2/ Is the Sutter Health integration of OpenEvidence and Epic just an embedded view for easy access? Or is there true data integration where a doctor can ask a question and OpenEvidence already has full context about the patient, and thus can produce a personalized answer? From the press release it sounds like just an embedded view for now, but full data integration for personalized CDS - the holy grail - seems inevitable. We know Evidently, AvoMD and others have already done this so it’s a matter of when, not if.

3/ What will be the business model? I suspect it will switch from an ad-model to a SaaS model. Health systems typically avoid ads to doctors and will also require more significant professional services for integrations, training, account management, etc and thus also cost more.

4/ How will this all work when EHRs are pushing doctors to use their own AI clinical assistants (e.g. Epic Art)? Unlike the growing competition between EHRs and AI scribes, I suspect Epic will allow companies like OpenEvidence, Doximity and UpToDate to just directly connect into Art - so doctors can access the same CDS experience. Chat itself is now a universal form factor, and as long as you’re selling licenses, the CDS companies don’t care what the access point is. As for Epic, they want to be a “software factory” and not a clinical guidelines/content factory - so I predict Epic will release a Toolbox category for CDS AI to integrate with Art.

5/ This will put major pricing pressure on UpToDate - however, UpToDate will have a head start on integrating with EHR AI assistants like Epic Art, given their longstanding partnerships with the EHRs. If I were UpToDate, I would be doing a mad dash to be the first to get AI CDS into Art and figure out a revenue share that incentivizes Epic to promote their product.

The largest randomized trial of medical A.I.
—Over 100,000 women in Sweden
—radiologist + AI vs 2 radiologists, in follow-up
—AI added led to 29% more cancer detected, 44% reduced workload, and
—Less cancer dx in subsequent 2 years, and, when found, less aggressive

Shoutout to the team that built https://t.co/sJnTRDfHGF . Really neat site that benchmarks the speed of different LLM API providers to help developers pick which models to use. This nicely complements the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Hugging Face open LLM leaderboards and Stanford's HELM that focus more on the quality of the outputs.

I hope benchmarks like this encourage more providers to work on fast token generation, which is critical for agentic workflows!

80% of 80% of all economically valuable jobs will be capable of being done by AI.

Years ago I asked -- to the consternation of many -- whether we needed doctors.

Then I asked whether we needed teachers.

High time we ask whether we need financial analysts, bankers, traders, etc.
