People don't realise how significant this project is. It solves many of the major technical, ethical and research challenges of using EHR data for research. This approach should be much more widely adopted for making use of all the data we collect (at great expense!) in healthcare.
If you've been wondering where I went: my team in Oxford (60 of us!) build beautiful tools for NHS data. We help researchers work on the whole nation's GP records while protecting - provably - everyone's privacy. It's big potatoes!

My new, very brief article is about economic growth — highlighting nine countries in Africa where incomes have more than doubled since 1990.

Those just wanting explanations of the terms used when discussing health-AI, can use: www.owkin.com/a-z-of-ai-in... Owkin commissioned & did the artwork, I wrote all the text. Each concept (e.g., LLM) has a short lay explanation, a detailed technical explanation, & further reading. Enjoy.

The course is a well-known online introductory informatics course. The LLMs scored better than as many three-fourths of students taking the course. The big questions for me are their implications for student learning and assessment.

I realize I been spending so much time choosing others to follow and spreading the word about Bluesky that I have not yet posted any science. So let me begin.

What do you think about doctors using AI scribes? They record the consultation and then use an LLM such as GPT-4 or LLama to generate a summary. Is it safe for doctors to use LLM output for medical notes? We discuss this in our recent seminar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Z6...
