When, almost a decade ago, I first used the Muse headband to meditate, I liked the idea, and I had no doubt that the device could deliver what the company said it could, but I had a mixed experience meditating...
Earlier diagnosis can change the trajectory of Alzheimer’s. Yet thousands of people in the UK still live with dementia for years before receiving a formal diagnosis. The signals are often already present in clinical records, they are simply fragmented across...
Maybe it's not new, but that's the first time I saw a digital tourniquet. It is designed to help anyone quickly stop the bleeding. No training required. Just tighten, press, and save a life. This is the line companies like XMetix...

AI dominates health-tech headlines. It barely appears in NHS job adverts. Meanwhile, programme management and digital transformation make up over half of actual hiring and get little attention. Headlines create excitement. Hiring data creates careers.
Small language models (SLMs) are gaining attention in the generative AI field. SLMs are trained on relatively small amounts of data and have a relatively small number of parameters. SLM can be more practical than large language models as they are...
This week on Lifers, I interviewed @othman about how he navigated @color through three massive pivots—from cancer genetics to national COVID infrastructure and now a virtual cancer clinic. Timestamps: (00:00) Preview (00:58) Intro (01:03) Lessons from Figma and betting on the tortoise over the...
A new systematic review of LLMs in medicine @NatureMedicine @ekoermann https://t.co/npvDeqUvel “Despite thousands [4,609] of publications since late 2022, only a small fraction use real clinical data and just 19 randomized trials exist.”
What was the first health sensor you ever used that proved to you how health management would change with such technologies? My core experience was when the Pebble smartwatch (that came out after a successful crowdfunding campaign) measured my sleep and...
What is the diagnostic yield of MRI in adult emergency patients with dizziness or vertigo? While MRI is efficient for detecting central causes of dizziness, its yield is low in cases of isolated dizziness without neurological signs. 👇 https://t.co/170qBbHrq7
Alzheimer’s research is increasingly looking beyond plaques and tangles to the brain’s immune response. A study published in Elsevier's Pharmacological Research journal used AI to screen 1.6M compounds for a Galectin-3 (Gal-3) blocker that could cross the brain barrier. In Alzheimer’s-like...
I remember what it was like to study the heart from textbooks and medical atlases. This video demonstrates how different the experience could be with mixed reality. It could lead to a new level of understanding of anatomy and pathology. The...
How to use ChatGPT as a doctor (properly) Not for diagnosis. Not to replace your brain. Use it to: • Simplify complex topics for patients • Draft patient education handouts • Create clinic SOPs • Generate content ideas • Structure research summaries • Prepare presentations • Improve communication clarity Think of...
@PBS: Five things to consider before asking a chatbot for health advice (by @AP_FDAwriter). Among them: ask two different AIs and see if they agree; don't stay home if you have red flag symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath....

🚨Computation Without Consequence 👉A clinical study reveals the divide between AI computation and human judgment. 📌AI handles patterns with ease. 📌Humans feel the weight of being wrong. 📌That’s where the divide becomes clear and important. https://t.co/tjfOTsWnCC #AI #medicine #digitalhealth
AI of whole slide images for cancer molecular markers is not ready for clinical use due to confounding and biases ("shortcut learning"), supported by multiple examples @natBME https://t.co/zG8uVIxrJf https://t.co/hQ0tjiapIJ
I keep seeing AI-pilled people arguing that AI agents will magically solve patient engagement - but it won’t. If it were that easy, non-Tech solutions would’ve solved it already. At @SeamlessMD, I’ve spent the last 13+ years working with health systems...
System consolidation looks efficient—until you count the cost of disruption. Strong view from @Provationmed on why migrating away from purpose-built clinical documentation puts adoption, revenue, and trust at risk. ➡️ https://t.co/WahjLaV8Wl #ClinDoc #CIOInsights #HITSM

An important study just came out that is the first to evaluate patient safety when it comes to ChatGPT Health. Millions of people are using LLMs every week to triage health conditions, but this new study has found concerning inconsistencies. https://t.co/etjthA2olM
AI is helping to make the diagnosis of rare diseases. A new multicenter study in Japan showed smartphone AI diagnosis of acromegaly via hands was better than experienced endocrinologists https://t.co/qBiazetToV https://t.co/dSZpJ2us84
I used to teach that "aging is just wear-and-tear." A new Nature paper used 7 days of wrist-wearable data from ~62,000 adults and found your circadian rhythm patterns (amplitude + stability) and MVPA predict inflammation-linked biological aging. Low rhythm amplitude and poor...
While every medical specialty will benefit from digital health and AI, some will especially thrive thanks to these innovations. Here, I listed the top medical specialties with the biggest potential for development in the future. Read on: https://t.co/KhId1Okqf2 https://t.co/rgvsDAjS1q
"We only have one partner logo to show. How do we build credibility?" This came up in a call with a healthcare AI company. Early stage, incredible tech, but limited social proof. Here's what I recommended instead of the traditional logo wall: →...
Clicker training works on orthopaedic surgeons. A study taught surgical skills using a clicker for real-time feedback. 100% of that group nailed every step of a knot tie, vs 33% who learned by demonstration alone.
Legacy IT debt and aging hospital infrastructure could quietly limit AI adoption. The real question isn’t just “What AI tool should we use?” It’s “Is our network ready for what’s next?” That’s the lens @VerizonBusiness brought to the #ViVE2026 conversation. 👇 https://t.co/XjHRtFctef
