Responsible AI for Social and Ethical Health: Clinical AI systems need a "Values In the Model" (VIM) label; like nutrition labels for the value tradeoffs embedded in every recommendation. Autonomy vs. beneficence? Cost vs. intervention? Make the hidden visible. @nejm_ai doi.org/10.1056/AIp2501266 CC @RanBalicer @johnbrownstein @aneeshchopra @vivianleemd @DavidBlumenthal @BeccaBrendel @joshCMandel @mandl @davidstutz92 @payal_chandak @BenGlicksberg @arjunmanrai @marinkazitnik @ayushnoori @swolf10 @iMGroschel

Is this what disruption of the medical establishment is going to look like? Calling service that includes transcription & summarization adds to most popular decision support AI used by clinicians in the US. Without going through their hospital CIO. Plus advertising. HT @mandl

📣 Excited to share our real-world study of an LLM clinical copilot, a collab between @OpenAI and @PendaHealth.
Across 39,849 live patient visits, clinicians with AI had a 16% relative reduction in diagnostic errors and a 13% reduction in treatment errors vs. those without. 🧵

Although Atul was always at the cutting edge of science he had the presence and expansive outlook of the intellectual giants of the previous century. His integrative approach to biomedicine has inspired thousands. But first he loved his family and friends with an enthusiasm that brought joy to all of us.

Atul Butte died yesterday.
The world lost a giant.
A big bear of a man.
With a huge smile.
With love for everyone.
With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

During the #pandemic, strategies like social distancing & mask-wearing were crucial, but monitoring compliance was difficult due to privacy concerns.
This study used a privacy-focused approach called the "federated cohort" to analyze intervention adherence patterns, showing that most participants followed safety measures until they were fully vaccinated, providing a model for conducting privacy-preserving research during public health emergencies.

The #Mpox in San Fran wastewater is the strain that has been spreading in the US for years.
We need to rapidly deploy similar wastewater surveillance globally to better assess the distribution of clades I & II. x.com/MarleneKWolfe/status/1…
