Amy and I just graduated from the University of Line Waiting with honors after a 4-hour intensive program. Thesis topic: ‘How badly do we want the Nintendo Switch 2?’ Answer: Apparently very badly. Degree earned. Console obtained. Sleep incoming. 🎓🎮😴

Setting up to hear panelists @julia-adler-mils.bsky.social @billhersh.bsky.social @prpayne5.bsky.social, and Keith Morse for their session on Preparing an AI Ready Workforce: Policy, Practice, and Future Directions.
🩺💻 #CIC25

Just got official documentation attesting I know how to turn coffee into structured data.

Incredibly proud to see our talented team presenting their research at AMIA #IS25

Excited to see our very own Laura Wiley deliver the Clinical informatics Year in Review #IS25

Excited to share the results of our latest work! We've developed a model that fuses discrete clinical data with imaging features to better predict severe PGD after lung transplantation. Our fusion approach shows promise, but larger studies are needed: www.amjtransplant.org/article/S160...

Officially board certified in Clinical Informatics! 🎉 Excited to continue bridging the gap between healthcare and technology to improve patient outcomes. #ClinicalInformatics

🚨 Big news: #WashUMed has hit a record high in NIH funding, securing $683 in FY24! This milestone highlights groundbreaking research and the power of collaboration in advancing medicine. Proud moment for #WashU! 👏

OpenAI just released their generative AI tool named Sora that can synthesize short video segments. Making this openly accessible could be a game changer. Here’s an example of an animated sketching of the St. Louis arch.

Investments in healthcare AI are soaring, but are we channeling resources effectively? To truly transform healthcare, we must invest in reimagining clinical workflows and equipping our workforce with AI-relevant skills.

🧠 Recent findings reveal that advanced AI models like OpenAI’s o1 demonstrate remarkable reasoning (e.g., solving 83% of Olympiad-level math problems), they fall short of AGI due to limits in adaptability and abstract reasoning. #AI #AGI

Evaluating GAI requires a better/shared definition of our 'gold standard.'

"Achieving diagnostic excellence will require a system that potentiates clinicians’ ability to make accurate and timely diagnoses and supports patients through their Dx and Tx journey."

The more talks I do, the more appreciate I am of Napkin.ai which uses generative AI to convert plain text into images.👇

As we continue to advance the use of transformer-based technologies in healthcare, we will no doubt need robust security assessments to ensure data safety: www.lakera.ai/blog/visual-...
#LLMs

Are LLM scaling laws starting to break? #llms the-decoder.com/openai-co-fo...

Fascinating idea: Tokenizing patient health trajectories to create a foundation model for predictive healthcare analytics. doi.org/10.1038/s417...

LLMs are starting to help with medical billing, do you think they could help with responses to documentation queries too? #NEJMAI

Ever since the read-it-later service Omnivore said it would shut down, I have searching for a good replacement. With the #obsidian webclipper, we might be closer to finding a long-term alternative. It’s not perfect and we will have to embrace Safari on iOS but it’s a great start. obsidian.md/clipper
