Failure is part of the journey - and try to fail fast and learning from it. - Do short term development sprints iand get feedback from users and adjust; have various tests of multiple products in different regions and come together and share learnings;award the failure & learning, go round robin starting with leader to one share failure/learning; when we share our failure we all learn and are authentic and human.

On the latest Vital Signs, Nikhil Krishnan and I had a ton of fun chatting with Dr. Atul Butte. Dr. Butte is a professor at UCSF, Chief Data Scientist of the UC Health System, and a co-founder of numerous healthcare startups. In our conversation, Dr. Butte shared his takes on healthcare AI opportunities, challenges, hype, and more. A few highlights: ⚡LLM use cases, data, and growth LLMs are already helping to solve the “drudgery” aspects of medicine, such as automatically drafting SOAP notes and patient messages. Dr. Butte is excited about future applications of LLMs that can help with the “cognitive” aspects: with difficult medical problems an LLM might be able to stitch together disparate pieces of information to generate a potentially novel solution. He also highlights that prompt engineering will become the next “coding language” as so much of leveraging LLMs is knowing how to ask them the right questions. Additionally, Dr. Butte discusses how since 2016, UCSF has been working to deidentify its patient notes so that it can query them to answer clinical questions and ultimately enhance patient care. ⚡The need for patient-facing AI As patients are increasingly able to access their own personal health data in nicely structured formats (e.g., EHRs, wearables), they desperately need more tools to help them interpret and make decisions using that data. Dr. Butte understands that these patient-facing solutions are challenging to get funded but he emphasizes that patients need to receive the benefits of AI sooner. ⚡Evaluating healthcare AI solutions In order to evaluate AI solutions, we often put human specialists – such as medical professionals – on the same tasks. Understanding that specialists often disagree with each other, a significant challenge arises in figuring out how we can evaluate AI considering we can’t just “average” all the specialist opinions. Dr. Butte points out that there still remains a massive gap in AI evaluation tools. Additionally, there are so many organizations that want to have a say in how healthcare AI is regulated that the landscape is uncertain. An awesome conversation with an expert on all things AI meets healthcare.

🚨 Researchers at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have unveiled a dual role of the protein interferon regulatory factor (IRF1) in cancer treatment, shedding light on its complex behavior in tumor progression and immune response. This protein can either hinder or help the body's fight against cancer depending on its cellular environment. Their findings, published in Cell Reports, suggest that manipulating IRF1 levels could significantly enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, providing new hope for cancer patients. Dive into this groundbreaking study to see how IRF1 could revolutionize cancer treatment strategies! 💉🔬✨ #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTransformation Read more: https://lnkd.in/gDCe-Sie

“It’s all about the data” and a plethora of other advice on what is takes to secure #biotech funding in today’s environment from Rahul Ballal, Marian Nakada, Ph.D., Chong Xu, and Issi Rozen at MassBio’s #AlignSummit24, including: - have a clear - and realistic - plan to achieve clinical proof of mechanism - demonstrate operational execution by having and following a plan - recognize the risks and share the plan to derisk the assets and approach - understand that having data to derisk the asset is more important than building big teams and broad portfolios - before pitching to VCs, test the pitch with industry veterans to ensure the funding ask and timeframes are credible - embrace the resourcefulness and resilience of start ups - ensure a 2 year runway (because additional raises may take a year) - share with investors why the asset is important and how it impacts patients and their families - remain optimistic and keep going #venturecapital #IntentionalInvestments

I recently talked with Tina Shah MD MPH and Shivdev Rao about Abridge, a health tech startup that's trying to solve healthcare’s burnout crisis by using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to automate clinical note-taking. “Over the last couple of decades, we’ve seen things come in between us and our patients [...] and all of a sudden, the most important thing is not at the center,” Shah, Abridge's chief clinical officer, told me. “Abridge is actually seeking to get rid of the paperwork we do, starting with clinical note documentation, so we can just focus on our patients and do what we were trained to do.” Read more: #genAI #health #healthcare #AI

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing every aspect of healthcare, with particularly transformative effects on genetics. 🧬 Recent studies have shown how AI can analyze complex arrays of genetic mutations to predict treatment responses, paving the way for personalized and effective cancer treatments. Scientists at the University of California have published groundbreaking research on this subject, highlighting how AI models can forecast which tumors are likely to resist chemotherapy. Read more about their findings here: https://lnkd.in/gjhekCzX Just as these AI models use precision medicine for personalized treatments, at Caresyntax we are leveraging the power of AI to bring precision medicine to the surgical field. Our AI-driven solutions provide real-time data and analytics, optimizing surgical procedures and enhancing patient outcomes. By tailoring the surgical experience to the individual, we ensure that each patient receives the most effective and safe treatment possible. The future of healthcare lies in the intersection of AI-enabled technology and innovative care models, driving towards more personalized, effective healthcare. With Caresyntax, we are at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that precision medicine isn't just limited to diagnostics and treatments but extends into the surgical suite for optimal patient outcomes. #AI #Genetics #HealthcareInnovation #PrecisionMedicine #Caresyntax

The AI algorithm was trained using images from past studies that involved kidney, testes, ovarian, prostate, breast and lymph node abnormalities. The new model detected disease in minutes—current processes take humans several hours and require specialized teams to check each other’s work. It was also found to be more accurate, sometimes detecting instances that humans had missed. The engineers designed the system to handle the processing load of the high-resolution gigapixel images by breaking them down into smaller tiles but still retaining the overall context of the tissue sample—akin to the zoom feature on a microscope or phone camera. Aside from getting diagnostic results more accurately and quickly, the new system also shows promise in epigenetics (the study of molecular processes that change gene behavior without changing underlying DNA). Epigenetic researchers can perform analyses and get results that used to take a year or more in just a couple of weeks.

1. Stanford Medicine researchers developed an AI tool that predicts gene activity in tumors from biopsy images, reducing the need for costly genetic sequencing. 2. The tool, named SEQUOIA, was trained on over 7,000 tumor samples and can predict gene variations in breast cancer to help guide treatment decisions. 3. The AI analyzes stained biopsy images to identify gene expression patterns, achieving over 80% correlation with actual gene activity for some cancer types. 4. SEQUOIA can predict large genomic programs and visualize genetic variations across different tumor areas, aiding clinicians in monitoring cancer development. 5. The model was tested using breast cancer genes known for their correlation with treatment responses and patient outcomes, showing similar results to established tests like MammaPrint. 6. High-risk patients identified by SEQUOIA had worse outcomes, indicating its potential for predicting cancer recurrence. 7. The AI tool requires clinical trials and FDA approval before clinical use, but it could significantly reduce the costs of gene expression tests in the future. 8. The research team aims to expand SEQUOIA's applications to other cancer types and gene signatures, providing new data sources for cancer treatment.

Are #AI #agents coming in health care? We all now got used to see computers speak to us in natural language and being able to be a thought partner, thanks to #GenAI. What we really haven’t seen at scale yet is the next iteration: having your AI actually do things for you. This is the emerging area of AI agents. Amazon just hired the founders of one of the leading startup players in the field, Adept.ai. Will we see adoption of AI agents in healthcare anytime soon? As always, healthcare isn’t going to be an early adopter. However, the huge burden of admin workload for healthcare professionals won’t go away if we don’t give them effective tools. So my prediction is that we’ll see the first AI agents being piloted for administrative tasks in healthcare in the next 2-3 years. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eNMGHbzW

The #healthcare industry faces a cost crisis. Patricia Geli, co-founder, managing director and COO of C10 Labs, believes #AI offers the solution. Geli explored how the #tech can reduce costs while advancing equity and public health, demonstrating what she calls "applied AI" to directly solve pressing #health issues in her keynote at #SAIPH2024. "I started my journey in AI in 2005, roughly 20 years ago trying to model pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for antimicrobial resistance," Geli said. "It's very hard and very slow, and that's what got me into AI. Since then, we have come a long way. AI now cuts the development time, reduces costs, and improves drug development success rates."

🧠💡 Exciting new research from UC San Francisco reveals that young adults with higher levels of inflammation—often linked with factors like obesity, inactivity, and stress—may face reduced cognitive abilities by midlife. This groundbreaking study, published in Neurology on July 3, suggests that habits formed in early adulthood could significantly impact cognitive health and the risk of dementia later in life. A proactive approach to reducing inflammation through lifestyle changes could be a key strategy in preventing cognitive decline. #Neurology #CognitiveHealth #Inflammation #UCSF Read more: https://lnkd.in/eshQexd8
