OpenAI's ChatGPT, the hot topic of the past weeks, now faces a challenger: Google's MedPaLM has arrived and many predict it to become the new wunderkind. Although we may not meet these artificial intelligence agents during our everyday work just yet, their practical applications are around the corner. I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards, Berci Bertalan Meskó, PhD The Medical Futurist [GOOGLE INTRODUCES CHATGPT-LIKE CHATBOT FOR HEALTHCARE]( Google had to respond to Open AI’s ChatGPT and its widespread success, so they launched MedPaLM. "Google Research and DeepMind recently introduced MedPaLM, an open-sourced large language model specifically for medical purposes. It combines HealthSearchQA, a new free-response dataset of medical questions sought online, with six existing open-question answering datasets." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Medical chatbots will get a massive upgrade in quality with these findings. The chatbot is not publicly available yet, but [the paper on its development is here](. [6 POTENTIAL MEDICAL USE CASES FOR CHATGPT]( --------------------------------------------------------------- ChatGPT is the latest generation of a large language model designed to generate text upon user input. There is a lot of discussion regarding its potential use in medicine, so let’s see what you can expect from it and what you should not use it for – at least in its current form.

Healthcare applications of 3D-printing will be manyfold - and although there may be less flair around the segment, the impact will be profound in several areas. [LG UNVEILS WIRELESS EARPHONE TO GET PEOPLE INTO DEEP SLEEP]( --------------------------------------------------------------- "Intended to be worn while sleeping, this lightweight earphone plays brain wave-based synchronised sounds in varying frequencies, including static and dynamic binaural beats. It is said that the difference in sound frequencies induces brain waves that promote sleep or transition to deep sleep. Besides having 80 built-in sounds of brain wave-tuned sounds, lullabies, and sounds of nature that trigger an ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), the earphone can sync with users' preferred music or videos from Youtube."
