The good times keep rolling for the chip maker. Q3 revenue increased 206% year over year to $18.1 million, topping Wall Street’s estimates of about $16.2 billion. The company’s stock has more than tripled amid the AI boom this year, accounting for a big part of the S&P 500’s tech-fueled rise.
And yet, shares ticked down from record highs in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Nvidia tempered expectations for Q4 due to new restrictions on chip exports to China.

News last week that inflation eased more than expected in October solidified the view that the Federal Reserve is done with its most aggressive rate-hike campaign in four decades. And that could be a boon for the stock market and your 401(k).
Over the last 10 rate hike cycles dating to 1974, the S&P 500 index rose an average 14.3% in the 12 months following the Fed’s final rate increase, according to an analysis by Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group.

In a shocking move, the OpenAI’s board of directors pushed out CEO Sam Altman, one of the world’s most prominent tech executives. The company said that Altman “was not consistently candid in his communications with the board,” and thus the board lost its confidence in Altman’s ability to lead.
OpenAI, and Altman, became household names this year after the company’s ChatGPT chatbot sparked a frenzy around the field of generative artificial intelligence. OpenAI, which has received $13 billion in investment from Microsoft, is reportedly valued at $86 billion. CTO Mira Murati will keep the CEO seat warm for now.

Precisely which data could have been exposed remains unconfirmed as the company continues to investigate “around the clock,” but affected customers are being promised complimentary credit monitoring services in due course.

And so, here is where the major benchmarks ended today:
Energy shares were among the strongest performers Monday, with an assist from stronger crude oil futures, which jumped for a second straight day but remain near 3½-month lows touched last week. Health care and consumer staples were also higher. Utilities led decliners, with the Dow Jones Utility Index (DJU) falling to its lowest level in over a week.
From a technical standpoint, chart patterns “remain in the bulls’ favor,” Nathan says, with the S&P 500 closing above 4,400 and its 100-day moving average (currently just above 4,402) for the second day in a row. He pegs key near-term resistance at roughly 4,500. That’s about where the index encountered resistance in late August and early September, with 4,600 a key intermediate hurdle for the bulls.

ChatGPT was launched nearly a year ago, in November 2022. Powered by a large language model trained on 570 gigabytes of internet data (300 billion words), the chatbot can generate text that eerily mimics human speech—but with far more information at its disposal than an actual person. Amazon is not the only company using AI to create theoretically better ads.

But, ChatGPT is not the same for mental health. Experts are warning that while chatbots can offer basic mental health support, they’re not equipped to provide clinical support and can raise thorny issues.

Steve Wozniak, the celebrated inventor who co-founded tech giant Apple, was just hospitalized in Mexico. The 73-year-old tech entrepreneur suffered a possible stroke and was rushed to hospital in Mexico City.
STEVE JOBS: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2011/10/08/ode-to-steve-jobs/
Wozniak was scheduled to speak at a World Business Forum event in the Mexican capital’s Santa Fe neighborhood, “after which he told his wife he was said he was ‘feeling strange’,” the media outlet TMZ reported.
Wozniak, who’s worth an estimated $100 million, was integral to America’s creation and refinement of the personal computer in the 1970s, and was reportedly the mastermind behind Apple’s first computer.

We’ve all known the AI audit is coming—but a new report from KPMG proves just how popular AI has already become in the audit process. The report polled more than 200 financial reporting leaders in the US between July and August. The headline takeaway? The AI audit is already close to ubiquitous.
Sixty-five percent of respondents said they’re already using AI in their job functions, while 49% said they’ve “piloted or deployed generative AI solutions.” Meanwhile, 71% said they expect to use AI “extensively in the next three years.”

Micro-Certifications may be used to demonstrate to physicians prospective medical clients that you’ve mastered a certain knowledge set. Because of this, Micro-Certifications are useful for those financial service professionals seeking medical clients, employment or career advancement opportunities.
Here are the three most popular Micro-Certification course from the Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc:

More than 7 million 23andMe customers were the victims of a data breach, with the hackers specifically targeting users of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The data includes users’ names, profile photos, genetic ancestry results, date of birth, and geographical location. The hackers are attempting to sell the data, asking for between $1 and $10 per account, depending on how many accounts a buyer wants to purchase.
How’d they do it? By “credential stuffing”—acquiring the login credentials from one site and using them on other sites in order to gain access to sensitive information. 23andMe reported the incident to law enforcement and is asking all customers to change their passwords and use two-factor authentication.

Even though the American Dental Association officially disagrees, if you haven’t adopted electronic dental records, now is not the time.
“Ransomware attack threatens to expose McLaren Health patient data” – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel notes: “This attack shows, once again, how susceptible our information infrastructure may be”.

Ransomware hits small businesses too
Business Tips from SCORE: Hackers focusing on small businesses. Here’s how to protect yourself, by Marc L. Goldberg for Cape Cod Times, October 8, 2023.
“Ransomware is the type of malware that has been on the rise over the last couple of years. After the ransomware infects the device, you’ll know right away. It encrypts files (or parts of the infrastructure) and displays the ransom message on the screen of the victim. Some strains can steal data making the organization vulnerable. Those that are most vulnerable gather and store lots of data — health care, insurance, banking and credit card providers.”
If a dental office is hacked, and it becomes known in the community that patients’ identities are appearing on the dark web, it is likely to cause bankruptcy.

On Wednesday at 11:20 am and 2:20 pm 2023, Eastern, most Americans will simultaneously feel their cellphones vibrate, hear them make a loud sound and see a push alert pop up on their screens. Most radio and television stations will broadcast an alert at the same time for about one minute.
It’s a test of the national emergency alert systems, which are designed to let the government reach hundreds of millions of people in the United States immediately if there is a disaster affecting the entire country. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission are conducting the coordinated test to see if the technology is working as designed and if any improvements are needed.
The sound is a unique tone that probably will interrupt classes and meetings, reveal the locations of hidden phones, and jar anyone not expecting it. The test itself is already leading to baseless conspiracy theories about how the powerful communication tool could be abused.
There is no national emergency, no reason to panic and nothing you need to do about the alerts.
It is, as the text will say, just a test.

Dr. Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman MD PhD just received the Nobel Prize in medicine. Their study of mRNA led to the development of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Oiginally from Hungary, Kariko joined the University of Pennsylvania as a research assistant professor in 1989 to study mRNA. Her grant proposals were constantly rejected, while the rest of the scientific community was slow to catch on to her groundbreaking research. She was never paid more than $60,000 a year. And it was only through a chance encounter at the photocopier that she began to work with Weissman, currently the director of the Penn Institute for RNA Innovation.
The two made the discovery of a lifetime in 2005—that mRNA can be manipulated and injected into the body to activate an immune response. The major academic journals Science and Nature rejected their paper, which received little fanfare even after being published in a less prestigious journal.
So, in 2013, Karikó left Penn for a job at BioNTech where she still works today. And, of course, their breakthrough came in handy during the global pandemic.
Thanks largely to Karikó and Weissman, mRNA vaccine technology, Moderna and BioNTech are working on mRNA vaccines for RSV, HIV, Zika, malaria, shingles, flu, and cancer.

PHYSICS: By Staff Reporters
And, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics yesterday for their work on how electrons move around the atom during the tiniest fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or disease diagnoses.
The award went to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their study of the tiny part of each atom that races around the center and that is fundamental to virtually everything: chemistry, physics, our bodies and our gadgets.
The movements of electrons inside atoms and molecules are so rapid that they are measured in attoseconds – an almost incomprehensibly short unit of time. “An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe,” the committee explained.
“They were able to, in a sense, provide an illumination tool that allows us to watch the assembly of molecules: how things come together to make a molecule,” Bob Rosner, president of the American Physical Society and a professor at the University of Chicago, told CNN.

The SEC’s new cybersecurity regulations went into effect last week. Most companies are “largely ready” to comply, Matt Gorham, senior managing director and leader of PwC’s Cyber & Privacy Innovation Institute, told CFO Brew, “but that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to do.”
As their companies’ finance leaders, CFOs are instrumental in determining whether a cybersecurity incident is material, but they have other roles to play as well. Gorham shared his advice for how CFOs can help their organizations comply with the new regs. Now, aAs a reminder, the regulations consist of what Gorham refers to as three “buckets.” Companies that file with the SEC are required to:
The first two “buckets,” Gorham said, will likely require the most work to comply with.

Among the immediate impacts: Many federal employees will be furloughed, the IRS will stop picking up your calls, you won’t be able to get married in DC courts, and most national parks—and their social media handles—will go dark.
And even more rain as New York City was hit with its heaviest rain in decades, which flooded roads and subway stations and delayed air travel. Both the mayor and New York’s governor declared states of emergency as images of the waterlogged city filled social media.

It appears that Mark Zuckerberg’s new “Threads” social media platform is struggling with a massive decline. The social media platform called “Threads” was launched by Facebook (now called Meta). The platform is essentially a clone of Elon Musk’s Twitter, which is now called X. Threads struggling to maintain momentum and gain new users.
Among major social platforms, Threads is reportedly only ahead of Tumblr in the race for user acquisition. Forecasts by Insider Intelligence predict a U.S. user base of 23.7 million for Threads in 2023. The company reportedly anticipated 56.1 million U.S. users. In comparison, X has roughly 528.3 million monthly users.

An NFT is a digital asset that can come in the form of art, music, in-game items, videos, and more. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and they are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos. They’ve been around since 2014.

NFTs, the digital collectibles, are pretty much worthless now. Using data from NFT Scan, the crypto platform dappGambl found that 95% of the 73,257 Non Fungible Token collections (e.g., Bored Ape Yacht Club) it analyzed are worth 0 ether.
In other words, if NFTs were physical objects, it’d be time to put them on the same garage shelf with Beanie Babies. The report estimates that 23 million people are now the owners of worthless digital files. The crash is mainly for one S/D reason: There just isn’t enough demand to keep up with supply.

Pharmacy giant Rite Aid is negotiating terms of a bankruptcy plan that could see a significant number of its more than 2,100 drugstores permanently close, according to a report.
People familiar with the company’s talks with creditors told the Wall Street Journal that Rite Aid has proposed to close as many as 500 stores in bankruptcy, and either sell or let creditors take over its remaining operations. One group of bondholders wants to liquidate a larger number of stores, and there is an ongoing discussion on the number of stores to be closed, the Journal reported.
Given the conversations remain ongoing, no decisions have been made at this time, Rite Aid said in a statement to Reuters.

One week into the 10-week trial in the U.S.A’s government’s high-stakes antitrust case against Google as the two sides have already staked out their positions.
The DOJ claims that Google spends billions per year to maintain its monopoly over search, paying to be the default on web browsers and mobile devices. Google, meanwhile, asserts that its dominant position comes from being better than all its competitors.
“If Google is prevented from competing, that won’t make Yahoo or DuckDuckGo run faster,” the company’s lawyer reportedly said in court.

Stocks shot up yesterday on the strength of Arm’s IPO. Investors were pleased with the British chip-maker’s debut: Shares surged 25%, leading to the best day for the Dow since early August.
Arm’s debut was also a big win for NASDAQ, which hopes to parlay the successful IPO into grabbing more listings over rival NYSE.

To keep up with the ever-changing healthcare industrial complex, we must learn new definitions and re-learn old terminology in order to correctly apply it to practice. By aggregating the most up-to-date abbreviations, acronyms, definitions and terms, the Health Dictionary Series offers a wealth of information to help understand the ever-changing terms-of-art in healthcare today.
Each 10,000 item handbook is essential for doctors, nurses, benefits managers and insurance agents, CPAs, and administrators; as well as graduate and under graduate students and professors. Our goal to for each dictionary to be designated as a Doody’s Core Title.
Dictionary of Health Insurance and Managed Care
With more than 8,000 definitions, 4,000 abbreviations and acronyms, and a 3,000 item oeuvre of resources, readings, and nomenclature derivatives, this dictionary covers the Medicare, managed care and Medicaid, private insurance, Veteran’s Administration and PP-ACA language of the entire health and long-term care insurance sector.
Dictionary of Health Economics and Finance
Health economics and finance is an integral component of the health care industrial complex. Its language is a diverse and broad-based concept covering many other industries: accounting, mathematics, the actuarial sciences, stochastics and statistics, salary reimbursements, physician payments, compensation and forecasting are all commingled arenas.
Dictionary of Health Information Technology Security
There is a myth that all healthcare stakeholders understand the meaning of information technology jargon. In truth, the vernacular of contemporary systems is unique, and often misused or misunderstood. Moreover, emerging Heath Information Technology (HIT) thru the HITECG initiatives; in the guise of terms, definitions, acronyms, abbreviations and standards; often puts the non-expert in a position of maximum uncertainty and minimum productivity.

Putting ChatGPT to the test to see if AI can work through an entire clinical encounter with a patient – recommending a diagnostic workup, deciding a course of action and making a final diagnosis – Mass General Brigham researchers have found the large language model to have “impressive accuracy” despite limitations, including possible hallucinations.
Colleague Bertalan Meskó, MD PhD, The Medical Futurist, sent me the following fascinating report.
***
| A recent study revealing ChatGPT’s high scoring in clinical decision accuracy has made waves. While the results are certainly promising, it’s crucial to keep in mind that these tests capture only a fraction of the myriad skills and knowledge required to treat patients – and we need to interpret the implications accordingly. |

Markets: Unfortunately, all three major indexes were down for the week as investors nervously side-eyed Jerome Powell. Kroger ticked up after the grocery chain revealed that it had agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle claims over opioid sales but also struck a deal to sell 400 stores for $1.9 billion to help secure approval for its merger with Albertsons.

Crypto: The CEO of collapsed crypto exchange “Thodex”, Faruk Fatih Ozer, was sentenced to 11,196 years in prison by a Turkish court for a potpourri of offenses, including aggravated fraud and money laundering. Thodex went belly-up in 2021, costing its investors an estimated $2.6 billion. If you’re thinking “That’s surely the longest jail sentence ever handed down for fraud,” think again: In 1989, Thai pyramid-schemer Chamoy Thipyaso was slapped with a 141,078-year sentence, or roughly 12.6 Ozers (though she was released after only a few years).

APPLE
The NASDAQ fell for the fourth-straight session as Apple stock—its biggest component—comes under major pressure.
Apple has lost ~$200 billion in market value over the past two days since Bloomberg reported the Chinese government was going to widen its ban on using iPhones. Any threat to Apple’s business in China is going to worry investors—it’s the company’s biggest international market and a production hub.

Hiring unexpectedly picked up in August as employers added 187,000 jobs despite high interest rates and inflation but totals for the prior two months were revised down sharply. The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a separate survey of households, rose from 3.5% to 3.8%, the Labor Department said Friday. That’s because of a surge of Americans into the labor force, which includes people working and looking for jobs. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated that 168,000 jobs were added.

Just 5% of New Yorkers lacked health insurance in 2021, but the state may struggle to maintain that low rate (it’s currently among the top 10 in the US) following the end of a pandemic-era policy that prevented anyone from being kicked off Medicaid.
A new report from New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli analyzed health insurance trends in the state, and found the percentage of uninsured New Yorkers fell each year from 11.9% in 2010—when the Affordable Care Act (which allowed states to extend Medicaid eligibility) became law—to 5.2% in 2021.
Nationally, 8.6% of people lacked health insurance in 2021, according to the analysis. (Though Department of Health and Human Services data released earlier this month found the US uninsured rate hit a record low of 7.7% during the first three months of 2023.)

Bitcoin gets a boost from landmark ETF ruling
An appeals court said the SEC was wrong to reject an application from crypto investment firm Grayscale to create a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), sending the price of bitcoin up about 6.5%.
The slumbering crypto industry has been eagerly anticipating a spot bitcoin ETF (as opposed to existing crypto ETFs based on futures) because it could attract a torrent of cash and interest from individual investors. The SEC said it was reviewing the decision.

D-2-C Real Time Virtual Entrepreneurial Care
By Staff Reporters
SPONSOR: http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
***
***
Synchronous care is the most common form of real-time, virtual, direct-to-patient appointment.
Synchronous telehealth happens in live, real-time settings where the patient interacts with a provider, usually via phone or video. Providers and patients communicate directly, often resulting in a diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription.
Synchronous telehealth can also include additional at home devices such as a blood pressure or heart rate monitor, thermometer, oximeter, camera, or scale to help the provider more accurately assess the patient’s health status.

Tip: For information on setting up a space for telehealth visits, watch Telehealth Best Practices (video) from Hawaii’s State Department of Health and read the Telehealth Visit Etiquette Checklist (PDF) from the American Medical Association.
Providing easy access to patient-centered care offers obvious benefits for patients. Synchronous direct-to-consumer telehealth also has many advantages for health care providers.
Tip: Before serving patients that live outside of state lines, make sure to research licensing requirements.
NOTE: More information on synchronous telehealth:

AUGUST 21st

It’s National Report Upcoding Fraud Day, an initiative started in 2017 to support whistleblowers of Medicare fraud, which costs the US billions of dollars each year. If you need any encouragement to report suspected healthcare fraud (like upcoding or inflated Medicare reimbursement claims), here’s your chance.
CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource
What Is Upcoding?
Upcoding is defined as having a doctor or billing person assign an inaccurate billing code to a medical procedure or treatment. It’s done to increase the reimbursement to that physician.
Beyond that, CPT codes are 5-digit codes that tell billing and insurance companies what was done to you while in that physician’s care. It may sound straightforward, but with around 7,800 codes in use, it isn’t hard to get things mixed up or to miss the fact that they overcharged you for a service.
Sometimes the mistake is made in error. In other situations, the office or hospital may mix it up intentionally. Most often, intentional miscoding happens when the facility is billing Medicaid or Medicare. Again, this may not seem like a big deal for you since the government covers it, but it may still affect your ability to get the healthcare that you need.

And so, National Report Upcoding Fraud Day is on August 21st. An initiative by Joel Hesch, a former attorney with the Department of Justice. Hesch and a passionate advocate for whistleblowers, created the day for anyone looking to report healthcare fraud. He wanted to make it easier, so everyone could get the process right. The day generates awareness and detailed steps on how the general public can report unethical healthcare providers. Fraudsters siphon off $65 billion each year in Medicare fraud through inflated reimbursement claims. Upcoding is one of the most rampant types of healthcare fraud that must end.Hesch draws on his 15 years as an attorney in the D.O.J. to support and encourage whistleblowers to come forward. The most successful claims have two things in common – facts and the use of proper reporting channels. National Report Upcoding Fraud Day aims to empower anyone with a legitimate case for claims.

Entrepreneurs
By Dr. Jeffery Funk
All 12 Ex-Unicorn Deep Tech startups are unprofitable and another 20 privately-held #Unicorns appear to be far from profitability.
These 32 include biotech/health (12), AI/Big Data (8), sensors/AVs (4), wearables (3), satellites/space (2), and one for 3D printing, storage, and fuel cells. Of ex-Unicorns, 10 have losses greater than 30% of revenues.
Why are these #deeptech #startups so unprofitable?
My conclusion is fewer #breakthrough #technologies are coming out than decades before and ones coming out are taking longer to successfully commercialize. #AI/#BigData, sensors/#AVs, wearables, satellites, 3D printing, and fuel cells have all been over-hyped, their costs and performance are still disappointing, and their diffusion continues to be slow.
Overall, a successful example of a breakthrough #technology is hard to find since iPhone was introduced in 2007, other than OLEDs and solar cells. Yes AI, #EVs, drones, VR, AR, and IoT are diffusing and thus an analysis in 10 years might come to different conclusions, but for 2010s, there was little to commercialize. #innovation #ipo #ipos #venturecapital #vcs #vc https://lnkd.in/gThUWFR

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is the utilization of algorithms to create content such as text, code, imagery, videos, and even simulations in mere seconds. The goal of AI generally is to mimic the intelligence of humans to perform tasks, with generative AI (a type of AI) aiming to learn from data without the assistance of humans. While today’s generative AI bots are not yet prepared for widespread utilization in patient care settings, AI is garnering significant interest in the healthcare industry as providers begin to test the capabilities of AI in clinics and offices.
This Health Capital Topics article will review the role that generative AI is beginning to play in the U.S. healthcare system, the potential of AI in healthcare, and concerns related to the technology. (Read more…)
