COME and WORK WITH US building NHS DATA INFRASTRUCTURE that WORKS

One chart, many stories. Predicted renewable energy deployment vs actual deployment.

The sealion in question

I love this town.

People don't realise how significant this project is. It solves many of the major technical, ethical and research challenges of using EHR data for research. This approach should be much more widely adopted for making use of all the data we collect (at great expense!) in healthcare.

I used to have this machine as a kid - great computer!

My new, very brief article is about economic growth — highlighting nine countries in Africa where incomes have more than doubled since 1990.

If you've been wondering where I went: my team in Oxford (60 of us!) build beautiful tools for NHS data. We help researchers work on the whole nation's GP records while protecting - provably - everyone's privacy. It's big potatoes!

Artificial Intelligence Implementation (Healthcare) MSc / PGDip - University of Birmingham There is an urgent need for leaders of AI implementation across the healthcare workforce of the UK and worldwide. The MSc AI Implementation (Healthcare) programme is designed to address this need.

We are launching a new MSc in #AI Implementation (Healthcare) programme at the University of Birmingham (UK) in 2025

Those just wanting explanations of the terms used when discussing health-AI, can use: www.owkin.com/a-z-of-ai-in... Owkin commissioned & did the artwork, I wrote all the text. Each concept (e.g., LLM) has a short lay explanation, a detailed technical explanation, & further reading. Enjoy.

True. Also, you don't have to keep consenting patients once they have already consented. I'd worry about automation bias and checking output - better structured summaries and patient access to check the note afterwards would help I think.

I think if you have to consent 3 times (privacy, listening device, algorithm output) and then thoroughly check the output for errors, you start to lose the efficiency gains from AI scribes.

Yes, good to see RCTs in this area now. I think might be feasible to do a trial that uses an ambient AI scribe in a real consultation, then use the summary as a prompt to an LLM to generate a diagnosis. Then compare that to a clinician's diagnosis.

Interesting study but I would argue that this is similar to LLM performance on medical exams rather than real diagnostic reasoning. The cases were presented as written vignettes and LLMs have probably thousands of similar vignettes in the training datasets they can use for pattern recognition.

Results and implications for generative AI in a large introductory biomedical and health informatics course - npj Digital Medicine npj Digital Medicine - Results and implications for generative AI in a large introductory biomedical and health informatics course

The course is a well-known online introductory informatics course. The LLMs scored better than as many three-fourths of students taking the course. The big questions for me are their implications for student learning and assessment.

The original paper is at: doi.org/10.1038/s417...

I realize I been spending so much time choosing others to follow and spreading the word about Bluesky that I have not yet posted any science. So let me begin.

I recently published a paper about the performance of LLMs in a course I teach: informaticsprofessor.blogspot.com/2024/11/gene...

Please add me. Thanks!

Hi Larry! Nice community of digital health folk building on here. :-)

What do you think about doctors using AI scribes? They record the consultation and then use an LLM such as GPT-4 or LLama to generate a summary. Is it safe for doctors to use LLM output for medical notes? We discuss this in our recent seminar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Z6...
