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 ChatGPT Revolution – Here ’s Our New Book On Generative AI In Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the dominant topic in medicine and healthcare for years as these fields have become more and more technology-dependent. Then, in November 2022, generative AI stormed onto the scene and captured the attention of the masses.
The release of ChatGPT finally meant that AI was not a tool for a handful of developers and researchers, but millions of people could start using it in practice. Our latest ebook covers this technological revolution.
From the onset, we at The Medical Futurist have been diligently covering all news, studies, and announcements to help patients, healthcare prof...

The Top 10 Health Chatbots
This study from March 2023 reports how an app developed to help patients’ bowel preparation can increase compliance and thus, the number of successful colonoscopies.
In some cases, health chatbots are also able to connect patients with clinicians for diagnosis or treatment, but that is one step further down the line. The general idea is that in the future, these talking or texting smart algorithms might become the first contact point for primary care. Patients will not get in touch with physicians or nurses or any medical professional with every one of their health questions but will turn to chatbots first. If th...

Generative AI Explained – Its Impact And Future In Healthcare
We have written dozens of articles about generative AI already, covering all possible angles, but just realized that we have never covered the basics, and explained what is generative AI in the first place.
Generative AI refers to a category of AI algorithms that look for patterns and structures in the sample data and come up with new ones. For example, it can simulate discussions and learn to find out how we, people, would be satisfied with the results. But it does it billions of times a day. So it improves at an unbelievable rate.
This kind of AI can be used for a wide variety of tasks, such as creating ill...

No, AI won ’t kill creativity
Recently, I had a conversation with a well-known illustrator friend who was expressing his discontent about artificial intelligence. As our conversation escalated online, several creative professionals joined in, lamenting the supposed death of art, creativity, and, consequently, our livelihoods.
creativity, nounthe ability to produce or use original and unusual ideas
I added my two cents that AI should not be perceived as competition, but rather as a tool to align with our times. I argued that ChatGPT wouldn’t transform anyone into a journalist, just as Midjourney wouldn’t make me a graphic designer, becau...

Why And How To Regulate ChatGPT-Like Large Language Models In Healthcare?
Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT or Bard, hold immense promise but also pose significant challenges for healthcare and medicine. To unlock their enormous benefits, we must ensure their safe application in an environment where lives are at stake. In other words, our task is to establish a robust, ethical framework for these generative AI models – without making the boundaries so tight that it kills innovation.

The Ultimate Tier List Of Digital Health Technologies
I don’t know about you, but I’m a great fan of tier lists – should they be about the nutritional value of vegetables or the relative strength of Terraforming Mars Preludes. So I was more than happy we decided to create the tier list of digital health devices. The Medical Futurist evaluated 23 digital health technologies and places them in their respective tiers. You can watch the video on our YouTube channel.
Based on the video, here is a sneak peek at how to categorize digital health devices – or rather technologies. Let’s see how practical is the given device/technology for the measuremen...

From Cuff To Cuffless: The Evolution Of Blood Pressure Monitoring
The history of blood pressure monitoring originates in the 16th century from Sir Stephen Hales’ experiments involving directly inserting a tube in an artery. Since then, the practice has been (thankfully) improved not to involve invasive manoeuvres.
Nowadays, blood pressure monitoring is an essential part of a patient’s examination; and in the digital health era, the means to do so are evolving. In this article, we’ll consider the evolution of this practice and what awaits it in the future; as it might be the next healthcare practice most prone to change based on recent trends.
From manual to digita...
