NVIDIA is accelerating the pace of healthcare innovation! Last week they unveiled a suite of AI microservices for developers, launched cutting-edge healthcare AI tools, and deepened their collaborations with giants like Johnson & Johnson. Plus, they’re ramping up investment in clinical trials and drug design.
Do you ever struggle with finding the best sources of information about healthcare AI? Check out my new video, where I share my favorite newsletters, websites, sub-reddits, and a list of must-follow experts. With this toolkit, you won’t miss anything important. Also, I hope you enjoyed a restful and Happy Spring Break – should you celebrate it!
Last week, several Fed officials said they were in no rush to slash interest rates in 2024, which investors have been banking on this year. Meanwhile, oil prices have risen to five-month highs due to concerns about supply shocks in key areas around the world.
And, Wall Street is preparing for a crammed week, with crucial inflation data dropping on Wednesday and big banks (JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citigroup) inaugurating earnings season on Friday. The pressure is on companies to post beefy profits to back up their strong stock performance in Q1.

What are you going to do 10-20 years from now? We toyed with the idea and came up with a list of healthcare jobs we think will be born in the coming decades. In case you want to become an organ designer or an end-of-life therapist. OR telesurgery VR planner.
And before you say I’m looking too far into the future, let me remind you that researchers are experimenting with a computer made of DNA-coated microbeads, with wireless charging of electronic implants, an Osaka hospital uses smart glasses to connect remote teams, while the FDA cleared an A.I. software automatically flagging cases of pneumothorax.
I hope you will find the newsletter useful!

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.

Answering Patient Messages
***
The study on ChatGPT “outperforming” doctors in answering patient questions quickly became the talk of the town. However, as is often the case, it was presented as a prime example of media sensationalism.
As we encounter more of these partially misinterpreted hypes – and rest assured, there will be many – we’ll need to navigate a sea of questions. Firstly, we must determine what AI can genuinely do better than healthcare professionals. Secondly, we need to consider how to identify unique areas where healthcare workers can assist patients, while AI automates repetitive and data-driven tasks.

Pictures, text prompts, documents and health metrics are just a few examples of data we’re giving away to different AI applications and thus, to different companies/organizations.
What happens to this data? Who owns the various outputs generated by us and/or algorithms? We dig into this topic and were not feeling at ease by the end of the trip.
More and more companies set the purpose to disrupt healthcare with the help of artificial intelligence. Given how fast these companies come and go, it can prove to be hard to stay up-to-date with the most promising ones.

Emerging Digital Health Trends
BY Bertalan Meskó, MDPhD
****
Digital technologies have completely transformed our lives in the last couple of years and started to entirely reshape the landscape of healthcare. Yet, this is only the beginning. Huge waves of changes are on their way. The future of healthcare is shaping up in front of our eyes with advances in digital healthcare technologies.
And so, here is the latest research, from the Medical Futurist’sHype Cycle Of The Top 50 Emerging Digital Health Trends.
The Medical Futurist’s Hype Cycle Of The Top 50 Emerging Digital Health Trends
Quantum Computing 3D Bioprinting Facial recognition in hospitals Vocal biomarkers 3D printing prosthetics Robots in hospitals Augmented reality in patient education A.I. in drug design Augmented reality in medical education Medical transportation platforms Private 5G in healthcare At-home lab tests 3D printing drugs Medical drones A.I. in diagnostics Voice-to-text apps A.I. in medical decision-making Nutrigenomics 3D printing equipment Virtual reality in patient education Chatbots Portable diagnostic devices Augmented reality in surgery Portable ultrasound devices Virtual reality in staff training Robots in rehabilitation A.I.-based prosthetics Longevity research Nutrition devices Employee wellness programs Exoskelotons Clinical trial recruiting Clinical trial management Remote care apps Cloud computing Nutrition apps Robot companions Medication management solutions Personal genomics services Microbiome testing Remote care platforms Digital health insurance Smartwatches Wearable health devices Personal Health Records Electronic Medical Records Smartphone health apps Mental health apps Fitness trackers Virtual reality in pain management
Personal health sensors and apps equip patients with personalised data so that they can become more proactive in managing their health. But what is still mostly the norm is that these sensitive data are governed by the companies providing these services; and they often profit out of it, oblivious to patients.

But even though NFTs are still in their infancy, the technology might evolve in the future to become more compelling for patients to favor the agency it provides over their data.

I’m so happy and proud that I can finally share with you the biggest project The Medical Futurist has ever worked on: The Digital Health Course.
Today, we publicly launch the digital platform where you can learn about everything we and I personally find important about digital health. I mean EVERYTHING!
In this course I break down everything I’ve learned over the last 15 years about the future of healthcare and digital health, what changes are taking place now and over the next 5+ years, what impact they’ll have on you as a healthcare decision-maker, and exactly what you should be doing today to best position yourself or your company for this inevitable reality.
We designed this course to provide you with a complete overview of digital health, guide you through the technological aspects, and equip you to be able to predict and forecast what’s coming next.
From the basics and its definition, to why it’s a cultural transformation that is happening now, how it is a paradigm shift of care, how you can spot trends in it and forecast the near future.

As I guide you personally through the course, I have put my heart, brain and soul into the whole curriculum.
If you’ve browsed the internet in the last couple of months, the term ‘metaverse’ is likely to have been thrown at you at least once. Facebook rebranded itself after the concept and other companies are adopting the metaverse with their own spin; betting heavily that it will be the next iteration of the internet where we will work and play alike.
It was time to dive into what the metaverse could mean to delivering healthcare.

Two years ago, I was searching in the FDA’s database of artificial intelligence-based medical devices. The database had no such segment. What could I do? Started creating our own.
Together with fellow researchers at The Medical Futurist Institute, we created the first open-access, online database of FDA-approved A.I.-based technologies that got published in the prestigious journal npj Digital Medicine last year. Since then, we have repeatedly called upon the FDA to do its own database (and even offered ours), and finally, this past week the breakthrough happened: the FDA listed our database as a publicly available resource on the subject. I tell you why this step is important below.

Elizabeth Holmes has no idea how much damage she has done with Theranos. As I often wrote, for digital technologies to gain ground and become part of our everyday lives, we need not only technological solutions but a cultural paradigm shift. Holmes rolled a massive rock in front of it.
Similarly, Facebook’s data privacy practices do not increase people’s confidence in the company’s products. All the scandals that have surrounded the social network could backfire when Facebook wants to step into healthcare – and this is exactly what we wrote about in our latest article, Is There A Place For Facebook In Healthcare? In it, we looked at what Facebook currently does in medicine and evaluated whether those are viable ways to follow in the future.

Should Algorithms and Robots Mimic Empathy?
By Bertalan Meskó MD PhD
Robots telling jokes and chatbots acting as life coaches sound astounding and terrifying at the same time. Extensive research is going on lately in the field of applying human features, emotions, gestures, and reactions to digital technology; and it raises thousands of questions.
Three Questions:
Could not only smart, but emotional algorithms or robots appear also in healthcare soon?
Would there be a place or need for them?
How would it impact the patient-doctor relationship or social interactions in general?

Some say technology will replace 80% of doctors in the future. I disagree.
Instead, technology will finally allow doctors to focus on what makes them good physicians: treating patients and innovating, while automation does the repetitive part of the work.
While every specialty will benefit from digital health, some will especially thrive due to these innovations.
Here, I enlisted the medical fields with the biggest potential for development in the future. Read more.

Why Aren’t Google and Apple Saving Healthcare?
By Bertalan Meskó, MD PhD
The introduction of artificial intelligence, robotics, social media, various sensors and wearables in medicine could save millions of lives and reduce costs at the same time.
There is one question, however, which needs to be answered. Who can and should provide these new technologies for the advancement of humanity?
Tech companies could change healthcare with their knowledge about disruption and could lead the way to medical innovation.

An InfoGraphic
[By Bertalan Mesko MD PhD]
An overwhelming majority of healthcare organizations have been victims of cyber-attacks. As digital health spreads from wearable devices on our body to implantables inside it, cyber threats can become painfully real.
What can we do to protect against them today?
According to studies by PWC and the SANS Institute, 94% of healthcare organizations have been victims of a cyber-attack. As we use more and more devices from smartphones to wearable sensors, your online privacy can have a very real impact on our health and well-being. When hacked, even simple wearables can yield private information about our vital signs and reveal personal health problems and insight into our habits (like when we regularly go running) that’s best kept from the public eye. More threatening are the findings of security researchers who managed to prove that a deadly overdose of medication could be administered remotely via a vulnerability in certain insulin pumps.

Disruptive Technologies in Medicine
[By Dr. Bertalan Meskó]
Recently, I gave a talk to medical students about what kind of trends and technologies might shape the future and I was very curious what they think about these.
The Question
I asked them to give a score between 1 and 3 about how beneficial or advantageous those can be for society; and a score between 1 and 3 about how big threats they will pose to us.
They also gave a score between 1 and 10 about how much they look forward to using a technology in action. See the full size infographics here.
The Answer
So, I just wrote about how our Disruptive Technologies in Medicine university course prepares medical students for the coming waves of change. I also recently published an infographic related to new technologies in medicine.
