The capabilities of these large language models have been expanding. So, what will the new reality with smart AI at our fingertips look like? Venturing into the realm of predictions: what will the healthcare future of today's hyped large language models look like? Here is a [short-term prognosis for 6 healthcare uses](. If you are not yet comfortable with your knowledge of the topic, we had a very entertaining live session [with these AI tools in action]( head over, and get to know them. Meanwhile, here is another [sci-fi-worthy piece of news]( from last week: a tiny flexible 3D bioprinter that could be used to print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person’s body. I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards,

The Medical Futurist [WHAT’S NEXT FOR CHATGPT IN HEALTHCARE?]( You have probably heard that ChatGPT has recently passed business, law and medical exams, qualified as a level-3 coding engineer at Google (with a $180K starting salary!), outperformed most students in microbiology and checked a passable grade in a 12th-grade AP literature test. Better take these results with a pinch of salt, the algorithm indeed did reasonably well on the USMLE test, but it was not a full-value assessment, as all questions requiring visual assessment were removed. However, it is obvious how the capabilities of these large language models have been expanding. So what’s next? [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Using such chatbots will (need to) become part of the medical curriculum very soon! It is extremely important to react to this phenomenon and teach kids to use AI in a smart, critical and responsive manner. [3D BIOPRINTING INSIDE THE BODY COULD BE POSSIBLE WITH A NEW SOFT ROBOT]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Researchers just unveiled a prototype device that can directly 3D print living cells onto internal organs and potentially will be used as an all-in-one endoscopic surgical tool! "The proof-of-concept device, known as F3DB, features a highly manoeuvrable swivel head that ‘prints’ the bioink, attached to the end of a long and flexible snake-like robotic arm, all of which can be controlled externally." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? In vivo testing on living animals is coming to demonstrate its practical use. If all goes according to plan, the technology can get into human medicine in 5-7 years. [A GUIDE TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- One of our most popular ebooks recently went through a major update. As AI turned from a "spectacular promise" into a major force transforming healthcare now, we are living in the midst of a major paradigm shift. We wrote this book to provide a hands-on summary of what this new era will bring, explaining what to expect and how to prepare for this change. No technical knowledge is required!

Amazon Web Services holds 24.3% of the global healthcare cloud market, according to market research firm Insider Intelligence." [READ MORE]( WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? This is a good summary of Amazon's healthcare efforts, including its misses. [EKO LAUNCHES HEART DISEASE DETECTION PLATFORM CEO CALLS ‘SHAZAM FOR HEARTBEATS’]( --------------------------------------------------------------- "Eko’s digital stethoscopes have been on the market for nearly a decade, and more than 300,000 clinicians use them. The Sensora platform works by connecting to those digital stethoscopes and identifying structural murmurs, a sign of valvular heart disease. The platform uses a machine learning algorithm to search through its database of heart sounds and determine whether the sounds that a primary care provider hears through their stethoscope are normal or abnormal." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Eko says it launches the "Shazam for heartbeats". I'm excitied to follow how it works under real-life clinical circumstances. [WEARABLE DEVICE SENSES WHEN VOCAL FATIGUE SETS IN]( --------------------------------------------------------------- "Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a wearable that can detect when someone is talking or singing, and tallies this information up to provide a warning when the wearer might be at risk of vocal fatigue. Overusing your voice in a short space of time can lead to vocal fatigue and even injury." The technology could be useful for patients with vocal disorders but also for singers, politicians, and teachers. Those that use their voice excessively. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Vocal biomarkers combined with a wearable device and an early warning system. [THE RISE OF THE SUPERCLINICIAN – HOW VOICE AI CAN IMPROVE THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE IN HEALTHCARE]( ---------------------------------------------------------------
"Implementing voice AI technology has an added bonus to administrative automation, where clinicians begin to feel more effective, valued, heard and satisfied. This transforms the employee experience into a positive, while generating better day-to-day efficiency, creating “superclinicians” in the process." So with AI-powered technologies such as voice-to-text applications, AI-controlled chatbots, and administration being automated, the rise of the so-called superclinicians is imminent. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? It describes medical professionals who don't do administration on paper and don't have to watch or work with screens, only with people. I love the vision.
