How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit. Let me show you in detail how primary care should be carried out in the future!
Digital health should become an organic part of primary care in the future
I live a fairly healthy life. I use data to improve my lifestyle and to make better decisions by optimising my sleep pattern, my physical, my cognitive or my emotional abilities; and I had several genetic tests....

Why It Is Important To Understand Multimodal Large Language Models In Healthcare
The future of medicine is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Although this revolution has been brewing for years, the past few months marked a major change, as algorithms finally moved out of the specialized labs and into our daily lives.
The public debut of Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT which became the fastest-growing consumer application of all time, has been a roaring success. LLMs are machine learning models trained on a vast amount of text data which enables them to understand and generate human-like text based on the patterns and structures they̵...

The Current State of 521 FDA-Approved, AI-Based Medical Devices
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in healthcare has reshaped the industry. And due to the recent march of ChatGPT, Midjourney and similar tools, various AI algorithms have entered the lives of the general population as well. These technologies will undoubtedly change the way medicine is practiced. Given that healthcare is an industry where decisions can literally be a matter of life and death, the importance of effective regulation can’t be overstated. Now this is one hell of a challenge even for the most seasoned professionals.

ChatGPT Misses the Mark in Healthcare – What It Needs to Succeed
The following is a guest article by Michael Blum, MD, Cardiologist, Co-founder and CEO at BeeKeeperAI and Former Chief Medical Information Officer at UCSF Medical Center
The advent of OpenAI’s ChatGPT3 (GPT3) Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot sparked an unprecedented societal appreciation for the power of AI. While AI has been broadly deployed across industries for a decade, it remained mostly hidden from the typical user. The release of GPT3 in late 2022 changed all of that.
Suddenly, a user with minimal computer literacy and no programming or data science training whatsoever could ask an AI-based applicati...

Health Equity In The AI And Digital Health Era: Promise or Peril?
This report estimated that poor health reduces global GDP by 15% each year.
On the flip side, equalizing healthcare access and quality has healthful effects on the economy at large. Digital technology could narrow the health equity gap by simplifying complex medical processes and removing travel barriers to healthcare access.
Figures indicate that underrepresented and/or disadvantaged (poor, rural, minority, women, LGBTQ, etc) groups have significantly less access to all the cutting-edge solutions digital health offers. Thus the gap is not only not closing, but it’s rather further widening right now.

How RPM Can Reduce AI ’s Bias Problem & Improve Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Arnaud Rosier, PhD, Founder and CEO at Implicity
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising breakthrough technologies of the modern healthcare era, yet it also has the potential to be one of the most dangerous. AI algorithms that are trained on limited or poorly representative data sets can exhibit signs of bias in their results, skewing decision-making and possibly leading to ethnic, gender, and social discrimination and other unintentional consequences for the patients they serve.
Unfortunately, research shows that bias is already creeping into the nascent field of AI an...

Fueling Innovation in Healthcare by Scaling Access to Protected Data
The following is a guest article by Dr. Suraj Kapa, Chief Medical Officer at TripleBlind
Data is arguably the most critical driver of innovation in healthcare today. When you think about it, everything in healthcare hinges on having access to the right data: From developing new drugs and medical devices to allocating scarce resources amidst supply chain issues.
Getting your hands on the data necessary to make breakthroughs in healthcare is a significant challenge given its sensitive nature. Essentially, we need a way to have our cake (access raw health data to drive life-saving advances in medical care) and eat it too (mai...

Aiming for Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Hakim Yadi, PhD OBE, Co-Founder and CEO at Closed Loop Medicine
Healthcare has historically taken a ‘one size fits all’ approach, which misses the ability to treat all patients as effectively and equitably as possible. Consequently, personalized medicine where treatments are better tailored to a patient has become an aspiration of the modern healthcare system. However, when we look at existing medicines used today, drug therapy is rarely dose optimized for the individual, with most therapies and medical devices approved based on overall safety and efficacy investigated in large-scale...
