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.
Of course, better take these results with a pinch of salt. Although the algorithm indeed did reasonably well on the USMLE test, it was not a full-value assessment as all questions requiring visual assessment were removed.
Pinch of salt or not, however, it is obvious how the capabilities of these large language models have been expanding...

6 Healthcare Examples Of Virtual, Augmented And Mixed Reality
Lately, there has been a tendency in the tech world to adopt “new” realities in their midst. Meta has a branch dedicated to developing virtual reality (VR) hardware and software; earlier this year HTC unveiled its new augmented reality (AR) glasses; while Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a mixed reality (MR) headset.
Collectively, VR, AR and MR fall under the umbrella term of extended reality (XR), which analysts believe holds the potential to be the next major computing platform. Such potentials have spillover effects into the medical field through digital health approaches, and healthcare practice is...

5 Best Practices To Build A Future-Ready Digital Health Company
Transparent communication, clinically-validated technologies, and addressing real-life clinical needs might sound like no-brainer components to a digital health company since they are working in the healthcare sector. It is also a rapidly expanding one where investments were heavily channelled during the pandemic.
However, some estimate that 90% of digital health startups will go bust or be ‘acqui-hired’ within a few years of being founded. If digital health represents the future of medicine and healthcare, it is important to understand why this is the case.
We previously dissected the reasons why digital h...

Can Tech Giants Take Over Healthcare?
Tech (and retail) giants have shown increasing interest in the healthcare sector in the past decade, and we’ve been discussing their advancement for years. They might have chosen somewhat different tactics, like Google investing heavily in AI with DeepMind and Verily, or Microsoft focusing on the EMR and cloud solutions, one way or another, billions of tech dollars have flown into these ventures. 2022, however, presented a new chapter: a number of major non-healthcare players decided to step in as primary care providers.
It started with Amazon acquiring primary care provider One Medical for $3.9 billion reported in l...

MedPaLM: New AI Medical Chatbots Will Soon Be Better Than Waiting For A Doctor
Large language models (LLMs), these excitingly versatile algorithms became a topic of general conversation in December 2022, when OpenAI released its GPT3 agent, also known as ChatGPT. LLMs are developed to carry on conversations in human-like ways, they are designed to understand complex queries and respond in a nuanced manner. We introduced potential medical use cases in this article.
By now we all have a track record with some kind of a chatbot – if nothing else, a not-very-bright algorithm at a service provider. These interactions rarely left anyone particularly impressed, they sometimes contribute to so...

The Global Nutrigenomics Landscape
Nutrigenomics – the DNA-backed science of what one should/should not eat – is one of the most exciting promises in digital health. It has been, in fact, one of the most exciting promises for at least five years, if not more. And despite the expectations and advancement of DNA analysis, it still couldn’t live up to the high hopes. The field struggles to gain momentum and become a mainstream service used by the masses.
There are a number of reasons why it is so, we explained four factors in this article. So where do we stand now? This was the main driving question behind one of our latest data projects: mapp...
