Tennessee Leads the Way in Removing Barriers to Foreign Doctors
Jeffrey A. SingerI have long beencalling for states to make it easier for doctors who are licensed and experienced in other countries to serve patients in this country. States require such doctors to repeat their entire residency training in an accredited residency program in the United States —even if they have been practicing successfully for years in their home countries—and pass the standardized U.S. Medical Licensing Exam. These onerous requirements deprive state residents of competent care from experienced physicians, many of whom are unable to find residency positions or cannot afford to start all over again. Ma...

Seven Reasons To Be Optimistic About The Future Of AI In Medicine
Everywhere we look, there seems to be an air of pessimism surrounding AI, despite the fact that we have actually not made significant advancements in AI development recently. The only difference is that during the past few months, due to ChatGPT, the topic has greatly entered the spotlight.
Figures like Tristan Harris spread fear, Harari claims that this is even worse than nuclear war, major tech companies and moguls call for a six-month moratorium on the development of large language models (though it’s clear that nations such as China won’t halt their progress), countries ban it, and Silicon Valley has spl...

Machine Learning Aids Rapid Design of Protein Therapeutics
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a machine learning approach to scan millions of protein fragments and assess their structure and binding properties. Based on the surface chemistry and geometry of a protein, the developed software can determine a ‘fingerprint’ for each protein and predict how they might bind to various protein fragments. The researchers have now used their approach to design new protein ‘binders’ that have been created specifically to bind to proteins of therapeutic interest, such as the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The technique could allow ...

More than Productivity: Include User Experiences when Assessing the ROI of AI-Based Solutions
The following is a guest article by Dr. Peter Hahn, MD, MBA, Dr. Lance Owens, DO, and Joshua Wilda, MPA, CHCIO
Over the past two years, clinical and technical leaders at the University of Michigan Health-West have been deploying and assessing the impacts of AI-based solutions intended to improve organizational efficiencies. We focused especially on systems that use advanced machine learning techniques to address the serious problem of physician burnout related to heavy workloads required to document patient care in electronic health record systems (EHRs).
Healthcare has highly specialized requirements for AI and other te...

Called Back To London Again
After a too long pandemic-induced hiatus, I'm in the UK for this year's edition of London Calling. I talked myself out of going last year well in advance, which would have beeninteresting as my rapid tests were still coming up positive about the time I would have needed to fly from Boston over the Atlantic. And while I've been watching remotely, I've been dismal over the past year in actually writing anything about it. Which was foolish on my part as ONT has been going through an interesting transition.Read more » (Source: Omics! Omics!)
