In a recent conversation with Sean Falconer on the Partially Redacted podcast, we discussed the widespread challenges of leveraging regulated data and how the Integral team is tackling this challenge while enhancing underlying data. Healthcare data is often plagued with inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and compliance risks. This includes things like: - Misspelled medication names - Incorrect patient genders - Data in the wrong columns - Sparse or missing values - Protected health information (PHI) We've developed an end-to-end suite to tackle these challenges head-on: 1. Automated compliance to rapidly certify and transform datasets  2. Continuous monitoring to compliantly deliver transformed, real-time data from source to destination 3. Intelligent dataset enrichment to detect quality issues and recommend high-value data sources to fill gaps 4. Seamless partner integrations with data providers, originators, and analytics platforms Thank you Sean Falconer for a great discussion.

🚢 Today, we are launching the expanded platform for Retirement At Finch, we are democratizing the data models underlying the employment industry. Access to this data will spur new and much-needed innovations, such as what the retirement sector is currently experiencing. With around $40 trillion in retirement assets in 2024, retirement represents a major segment of the employee benefits industry that has only become more important as our Social Security is unable to sustain the growing population. SECURE Act 2.0 is going to drive 2-3x more sponsors to offer retirement benefits over the next five years, and the retirement infrastructure needs to evolve to sustain this. As an infrastructure company, we power the likes of Fidelity Investments, Ameritas, ePlan Services, Inc. (Paychex), Morningstar and other leaders in the space, serving more than 40 recordkeepers and TPAs and 45K+ sponsors with 5M+ participants. By working with the early technology adopters, we saw firsthand the need to evolve our platform so that Finch could grow to serve all 2,000 TPAs and 500 recordkeepers, ultimately powering the entire ecosystem. The speed we ship features at Finch is incredible, and there are more on the near-term roadmap! Now is the perfect time to onboard with Finch. Reach out to me at [email protected], and I’ll make sure you get a personal onboarding experience.

The Open Medical LLM Leaderboard on Hugging Face dropped last Friday (thanks Geoff Kwitko for the heads up), and it aims to track, rank and evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) on medical question answering tasks (see link below). It evaluates LLMs across a diverse array of medical datasets, including MedQA (USMLE), PubMedQA, MedMCQA, and subsets of MMLU related to medicine and biology. The leaderboard offers a comprehensive assessment of each model's medical knowledge and question answering capabilities. The datasets cover various aspects of medicine such as general medical knowledge, clinical knowledge, anatomy, genetics, and more. They contain multiple-choice and open-ended questions that require medical reasoning and understanding. More details on the datasets can be found in the "LLM Benchmarks Details" section in the link. Ps. Good to know that the GPT-4 model is leading the way (it is what I use on the Medical Coding and Documentation agent). Digital Human Assistants #llmhealthcare

I like this idea of "technical taste". It gets into where software engineering is as much creative art as it is science. Four great takeaways (IMHO) for software devs in this era in particular: 1. Aspiring engineers should cultivate a sense of curiosity, experiment with different tools and technologies, and embrace a mindset of continuous learning. 2. AI has the potential to streamline processes and enhance productivity for engineers, but it may also lead to disruptions in traditional software development workflows. 3. Developing technical taste and judgment is essential for making informed decisions about which technologies and approaches to pursue. 4. Collaboration and open-mindedness are key to leveraging the full potential of AI and staying ahead of technological advancements. I also really liked these two quotes from Sam Schillace: 1. "The right time to do something is when you have that feeling in the pit of your stomach that's like, 'oh, this is a great idea and it's going to suck to build because nothing's ready yet.'" 2. "Technical taste is like, 'how well have you consolidated that set of experiences and heuristics into judgment that you can apply accurately when you see new things?'" 3. "It may be the case that very small teams can do very large projects, or like we were talking about before, it may be the case we're just going to get really ambitious about what we try to do with the same size of teams, which is kind of where I would put my money." Great job on continuing to put out great episodes, Brett Berson and team First Round Capital! #ai #engineering #softwaredevelopment

Excited to share the reason why I dropped out from MIT. We raised a $9M seed round led by the best in the business at Patron, First Spark Ventures, and A16Z GAMES SPEEDRUN to build digital human beings -- starting with friends who can play any game with you and are always online. Digital human beings -- specifically agents with fundamental human qualities -- are inevitable and will be of world-changing consequence. We believe if built with a strongly pro-human framework, they can be the source of unlimited empathy, fun and friendship at scale. Starting in games allows us to train, iterate, and ship faster. We also have a clear use case for differentiated social-emotional intelligence, episodic memory, and grounded actions. Improving these human qualities opens new doors into broader simulations, productivity agents, and finally embodied digital intelligence. I can't thank the incredible team at MIT Sloan School of Management enough and even more importantly the incredible friends I made during my two years in Cambridge. Most importantly, thank you to my super-hero wife and love of my life Melanie Mueller who makes all of this possible in the first place. https://lnkd.in/dAmJkTza

Great podcast with Bret Taylor (CEO Sierra). Stellar communicator. Covers a lot of ground. One area he touches on are engineering changes instigated due to agentic frameworks. Resonates with a lot of the work we are doing at Doyen AI. A few nuggets - engineering moving from rule-based to goals & guidelines, increased focus on statistical approaches for managing non-deterministic systems, core agentic components are (a) knowledge of the business, (b) knowledge of business processes, and (c) knowledge of underlying systems for actioning. Worth a listen! #agents https://lnkd.in/ezdghk_v

Fantastic insight into the current state of healthcare IT and SaaS offerings by my teammate Eric Snyder, and can easily be applied to academic IT as well. So many times institutions have to settle for expensive software that doesn’t fully fit their needs, or multiple solutions to meet organizational goals, while still leaving a large technical burden on employees to implement and use the software on a daily basis. Many of these pitfalls can be avoided by having a small, dedicated development team create custom solutions that perfectly fit the users needs. While skilled developers can be expensive, compared to the cost ineffective software licensing, lost productivity, and contractor support to augment your IT group, in house development on many occasions can save your organization money and time when implemented properly.

When Laura Tocmacov and I started working on the impactIA Foundation in 2017, I was looking forward to years of playing with cool technology. I certainly wasn't expecting that mental health and diversity would become central topics! But artificial intelligence works like a magnifying glass, amplifying the best and worst of our society. To build a fulfilling future for all, we need to address some big issues in our workplaces now. For many men in the tech world - and I'm one of them - gender diversity is a solved problem. OK, not quite solved, but close enough. It's going in the right direction. Surely it will sort itself out in a few years? And we believe this despite the fact that we see very few female candidates for our open technical positions, and those candidates often lack the years of experience we need. So we don't recruit them. We're under pressure, you understand, so we have to optimise for short-term results. At the end of the day, we like to think that our customers just want their problems solved, they don't care about the gender of the developers. But they should, and so should we. Take a look at yesterday's Guardian article https://lnkd.in/eSqsR6bX « Women's health tech 'less likely' to get funding if woman is on founding team ». It reads like something from a crazy parallel universe with nuggets like « women advocating for women’s rights are seen as being emotional, upset and angry rather than businesspeople maximising profits » « Men [...] get more funding if they use the same words, perhaps because investors see it as self-interested advocacy, and so proof of their economic acuity. » Is this insane society acceptable to us or should we be actively changing it? Before you answer and throw our male privilege out the window, there might actually be an upside for us all. Studies show that diversity improves the performance of our teams https://lnkd.in/eKkvNDNC. How annoying. Maybe it's time to take a long, hard look at the way we build our teams and optimise for a timescale that's further than our noses? And, Swiss tech companies, if you're looking for examples of how to do this, I suggest you look outside our microcosm. Take Cembra, for example, voted "Worst Place to Mansplain 2024" (yes, I have first-hand experience). The AI project teams there are gloriously gender diverse and at the top of the game. So please, let's spare ourselves the embarrassment of being beaten on our home turf by ... banks and start rethinking the way we build our organisations!
