Evidence-based clinical intelligence is becoming a critical infrastructure for many healthcare technology companies. We've made building with our clinical AI agent exceptionally easy with in-app self-serve access to the Glass Developer API. Developers can get started building with our AI today and bring new evidence-based diagnostic, treatment planning, and documentation capabilities to their products and platforms.
What should hospitals consider before adopting a new AI tool? Start simple: will people actually use it? That’s a key takeaway from our panel at #vMed26: “Translating AI Findings into Real-World Clinical Impact.” https://t.co/dTZgscHIOM
@Ronalfa is speaking at @SynBioBeta in May and you probably already know who he is if you've been paying any attention to the AI x bio space. Ron spent years at @RecursionPharma as SVP of Research and acting CSO, helping build...
Most cancer drugs go after the same targets: EGFR. PD-L1. HER2. Not because they’re the best targets. Because they’re the only ones we’ve been able to see. RyboDyn Inc. is going after what’s been invisible. The San Diego team, led by Imad Ajjawi, PhD,...
Really excited to share new VR research for IBS symptom support. Our NIH-funded randomized trial is showing notable benefits, and we’re presenting it today at #vMed26.
Gene therapy isn't just targeting diseases anymore—it's targeting aging itself. The hallmarks of aging are becoming editable code. Longevity Escape Velocity isn't a fantasy. It's an engineering problem. And we're solving it.
I spoke to a startup building software to help clinical trials recruit more of the right kinds of people more quickly - a serious challenge at present.

The view from my hotel room in Chamonix is quite spectacular. I spoke yesterday at a global event organized by a major pharma company. They organized it near Mt. Blanc to make the country managers literally aim higher and higher. I...
This robot was designed for elderly care. It can have conversations with the user, measure blood pressure and heart rate, operate the smart elements of the house from heat to lights and do simpler tasks. It's quite the accomplishment (or claims) for...
Health care has become better at saving people once they are already in trouble. That does not mean we have become good at catching trouble early. This episode of The Podcast by KevinMD gets at a hard truth in cardiac care: we...
Glimpses of last week’s NVIDIA GTC. A new kind of radiology imaging for doctors. https://t.co/U59b5qmWL9
Glass 5.5 is an amazing upgrade to the platform. Clinicians now have an AI specific to their specialty that will support them through every step of their clinical workflows.
A new framework enables medical AI systems to express uncertainty and prompt clinicians for more information, fostering collaboration and reducing the risk of overconfident, potentially harmful recommendations. medicalai
Results are in and crystal clear on which systems are best in medical diagnosis and how high the concordance is with human physicians. And very low triage error rates
