AIs have only recently shown the promise of their potential. Mostly in the last year, really. I can't fault them for not spending much effort applying them, they have to mature first. And it's getting there very rapidly, but there isn't much point spending months trying to get some system to do...

Yup. Well said. AIs won't have the investment that people who dedicate their career to a pet theory currently have, willing to see benefits where there aren't any, because they are mainly interested in their interest. Or willing to BS infinitely to get large research grants whose only aim is to...

The biggest shift AI will enable is time. Right now doctors learn very little about us, including researchers. They spend very little time with us, they mostly only work from cookie-cutter standardized tropes. Most of which are OK to good. Illness, the perspective of patients, is entirely...

Could be a language issue. In French the word for fatigue and sleepy is the same. Creates massive confusion.

The name was chosen for a purpose. The same purpose that lead to absurd names like the FINE and SMILE trials. "It'll be fine, everyone will recover, we'll just give them a bit of coaching for their worries and it'll all be OK." They never anticipated it would be an actual problem worthy of a...

I think it's even bigger than that, still. However much he thinks it's bigger, it's probably as much worse as whatever he thinks. Because the system is built on the same naïve premise that doctors don't do harm, even though the history of medicine is basically a history of horror, with maybe...

Not just psychosomatics. Doctors aren't supposed to lie or BS. Ever. Most people believe that until it happens to them, and then they never forget about it. It's a hidden problem because we can't do anything about it, but I see regularly lots of it on general discussions having to do with...

Well, the good thing is that this has blown up quite a bit. Many more replies and re-tweets have been added. It's actually emphasizing how their complete lack of urgency looks terrible. But I guess it only looks terrible if you're a patient waiting on them, so... They don't seem to feel the...

Most of it. And this is why healthcare systems will embrace it whole. It will be massively more effective, cheaper, faster and better. Where they don't, private companies will swoop in anyway. Doctors will still have a role to play, but more of a hands-on thing, and for those who don't trust...

I've seen that Hans Knoop will be at a German conference on Long Covid that otherwise has legit experts. Not sure what he is doing there but it's very exceptional for any of them to step out of their bubble.

These people are doing a great job making those children never trust doctors. They can bullshit them with their "illness explanations" all they want, and have questionnaires asking a bunch of useless questions, but all the children will learn is that doctors are willing to bullshit without any...

Good stuff. I think that we'll be seeing a lot of these, and in growing numbers and impact over time. The individual papers are still worth discussing on their own, but I created a thread to consolidate most of the general discussion over AI models, papers and technology here: Artificial...

Yeah every time I see this I cringe. Pharma has zero relevance to us. Even though we would be a gold mine to them if they ever figured it out. In our case it's the combination of governments and the insurance and wellness industries. Pharmaceuticals don't even think about us.

I wonder who those "experts" are. The same asinine lack of reasoning and mindless indifference to real life. I especially like that this is not even close to how the weather works, a completely artificial scenario that has zero application in the real world. Or the climate. It's not as if...

Zero-shot in the above is especially significant. It means problems the AI was not trained on and is seeing for the first time. State of the art refers to human experts, so they are claiming that this model is already as good or better than human medical doctors in some cases, even "often...

Towards Generalist Biomedical AI https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.14334 DeepMind Medicine is inherently multimodal, with rich data modalities spanning text, imaging, genomics, and more. Generalist biomedical artificial intelligence (AI) systems that flexibly encode, integrate, and interpret this data...

Merged thread Artificial intelligence in medicine Artificial intelligence will revolutionize medicine in the coming year. No typo. It will not take years, it will begin this year, and it will be more transformative than even electrification was, mostly because it will happen much faster. This...

I fully agree. This is what the Long Covid patient community has been demanding on day 1. And us for literally decades. And it is always rejected. This is the only reason this kind of experimentation is happening. The medical profession is entirely to blame for it, they leave desperate people...

Role of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone & Kinin–Kallikrein Systems in the Cardiovascular Complications of COVID-19 & Long COVID

Renin is an enzyme that helps control your blood pressure and maintain healthy levels of sodium and potassium in your body. Made by special cells in your kidneys, renin is released into your bloodstream when your blood pressure drops too low.
