Beyond ChatGPT: What Does GPT-4 Add To Healthcare? – The Medical Futurist Newsletter

I analyzed how GPT-4, ChatGPT's newest version, could contribute to healthcare I have been analyzing how GPT-4, the latest iteration of ChatGPT, could contribute to healthcare and I summarized my findings in our new article. Also, I'll have a [live Q&A session on Youtube]( on the 6th of April at 17:00 CET (or 11 am EDT) about GPT-4 and its impact on our industry. Besides, I'm happy to share that our paper on the first database of collaborations between technology giants like Amazon and Apple and healthcare institutions got published in [the medical journal mHealth]( and, of course, it's open access. Check it out! I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards, Berci Bertalan Meskó, PhD The Medical Futurist [BEYOND CHATGPT: WHAT DOES GPT-4 ADD TO HEALTHCARE?]( Dust has yet to settle on the ChatGPT hype, but OpenAI, the developer behind the artificial intelligence (AI) language model underpinning ChatGPT, has launched the next iteration of its model: GPT-4. "OpenAI advertises its new AI model as being “more creative and collaborative than ever before” and “can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy”. The tool is already being adopted by organisations such as Be My Eyes to assist visually impaired people and Khan Academy in education; and we will surely encounter more medical use in the months to come.

[MICROSOFT'S NUANCE ADDS GPT-4 AI TO ITS MEDICAL NOTE-TAKING TOOL]( --------------------------------------------------------------- A brave step from the Microsoft-owned Nuance as they decided to add GPT-4 AI to its medical note-taking tool. It integrated GPT-4 into its Dragon Ambient Intelligence platform, which is used by hospitals around the country to ease doctor workloads by using AI to listen to patient-provider conversations and write medical visit notes. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Expect to see similar announcements in the coming weeks as more companies will feel like adding GTP-4 is a competitive advantage, thus not doing that is a disadvantage. [INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The impact AI will have on our everyday and professional lives can only be compared to the changes the Internet has brought to the world. We are at the dawn of a new era and our capabilities will be hugely enhanced by algorithms, machine- and deep learning. The course was designed to provide a crystal-clear overview of the role artificial intelligence (AI) can play in medicine and healthcare. Just come as you are, no coding experience or special knowledge is needed!

I'm sure 2023 will mean testing a lot of blood glucose measuring devices to me. "Current CGMs take measurements roughly once every five minutes, so a noninvasive smartwatch monitor would need to at least match that while maintaining at least a full day’s worth of battery. It has to do that plus track activities, power an always-on display, measure a host of other health metrics, fetch texts and notifications, and send data over cellular or Wi-Fi — all this without resorting to adding a bigger battery so the device can be comfortable enough to wear to sleep for truly continuous monitoring." [READ MORE]( WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? It seems more likely that blood glucose on smartwatches will be for fitness or wellness tracking and just maybe for screening for prediabetes. But for diabetes management, we will have to keep on waiting. [5 AI QUESTIONS ABOUT CAREER CHOICES]( --------------------------------------------------------------- We receive countless career-related questions on The Medical Futurist's social media outlets. Giving advice to someone based on a message is very hard to do as every career and every person is different, but there are indeed 5 questions that I think could help every medical student, resident and future medical professional must be able to answer about AI today. [READ MORE]( WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? I do think that every medical student and resident must be able to answer these 5 questions about AI today. [QUANTUM COMPUTER FROM IBM NOW DEPLOYED AT CLEVELAND CLINIC]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Cleveland Clinic and IBM just announced the initial deployment of what they say is a potentially transformative quantum computing initiative that could turbocharge healthcare research including the acceleration of precision medicine research and drug development for a range of medical conditions. "The new IBM Quantum System One now deployed at Cleveland Clinic is being touted as the first onsite private sector IBM-managed quantum computer in the United States, and will be the first such machine in the world to be dedicated solely to healthcare research." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? So the title of the article is a bit misleading but the initiative does indeed plan to use quantum computers in the future. If many researchers worldwide work on safeguards for AI research, we should do the same for quantum computers too. [STUDY: ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES DIABETES CONTROL IN CHILDREN]( --------------------------------------------------------------- No matter how amazing a digital health technology sounds, we need evidence to prove that it's safe and efficient. That's why it's so important to see such studies! Conducted at three pediatric diabetes centers across the U.S., the trial included two study groups, with 68 participants in the artificial pancreas technology group and 34 in the standard care group. Researchers concluded that participants in the artificial pancreas group spent 12% more time, or approximately three hours per day, within range of their target blood glucose level.. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Of course, it did as the technology works like a real pancreas. But without evidence, how can we make it get accepted by regulators worldwide?
