Evidence synthesis is essential, but repetitive work. AI can assist by generating preliminary classifications and summarizing abstracts, but human reviewers must verify recommendations, interpret context, and resolve ambiguities. #AMIA2025 #AcademicSky

Dr. Raju Gottumukkala discusses poor AI consent and privacy design treats people as data sources to be extracted. A diabetes app user may agree to a 40-page document, unaware their data is shared and retained indefinitely. This exploits vulnerable users, as consent is not truly voluntary. #AMIA2025

Dr. Marquard discusses how consumer health AI has fundamentally changed. It's no longer a passive tracker. These tools now actively use consumer data, behaviors, and environments to learn and adapt. This creates new imperatives for design, evaluation, and governance.

Just an FYI - please get your flu and COVID vaccines. I got my flu shot a few weeks ago, but they didn’t have COVID.
Failing to get one was a mistake.
My case is very mild, and I tested on a hunch rather than symptoms.
I’m masked up now, but COVID is still out there, protect yourself!

I’ve been working on the algorithms for the @medsky.social specialty feeds for over a year, and the difference between then and now is staggering.
We now have:

• Hundreds of professional societies and journals
• Several thousand HCW accounts
I’m really proud of how far we’ve come.
