I see this frequently re: physician owned hospitals. Does anyone have any data? Also…so? Shouldn’t we streamline the most common use cases? Literature is clear that outcomes better at high volume, so we should *want complicated cases in one place. @AjKavanaugh

Must-read thread on corporate healthcare Many in #MedTwitter quickly call out “evil!” entities but refuse to learn how incentive structures promote actions #FinTwit #finance only sees the balance sheet. But in healthcare, this has dramatic costs, likely effecting them too!

If only 14% of Americans (approx 42M) have used chatGPT based on Pew polling, that means americans are only 24% of chatGPT users? Does this track? Majority of use is China/India? Assumes unique accounts only, but also doesn’t account for interval growth. Back of envelope.

In memory of Dr. Juha Hernesniemi, a pioneer in surgery. We are honored to pay tribute to his legacy by continuing to push boundaries in surgical innovation. We showcase the remarkable results of our model, extracting invaluable statistics from surgical videos. #AIforSurgeons

We are thrilled to welcome PGY-1 resident Dhiraj Pangal (Dhiraj Pangal), who starts his training this summer with Stanford Neurosurgery! Learn more about Dhiraj here: med.stanford.edu/neurosurgery/n…

Incredible!! 100+ neurosurgeons, computer scientists, technologists, and leaders across multiple fields. Charting a new course for implementation of novel technologies across surgical fields. What a weekend and … The best is yet to come!

Surgical masters routinely share operative video, invaluable for trainees like me. The next step: a suite of next-gen stats, quantified tool movements, tool-tissue interaction metrics, all w AI Daniel Donoho, MD Surgical Data Science Collective pose this challenge for surgical innovators at #digitalnsgy

Love HuggingFace and Clément Delmas but this is a strange, wrong take. 1) Commercial interests have always driven technology deployment in healthcare… 2) Essentially all medical devices, and most new are closed source. 3) Open source doesn’t = safe. Closed source doesn’t = dangerous

🤔 These are strange, cherry picked standards. The question to ask any clinical AI system is: 1) Are outcomes better Or, assuming equivalent outcomes: 2) Are clinicians happier 3) Are patients happier

Computer-based surgical performance metrics are the next big thing in neurosurgery. thejns.org/view/journals/…

Neurosurgery has been using The Letter to Garcia to describe the ideal candidate for years. Looks like it’s making its way to the startup lexicon. Nice.

Still can’t believe we got early access to OpenAI Sora to craft the intro for Craig Mundie Microsoft Research , the Cushing Orator AANS Sneak peak of Sora below …
