Technobabble To English: A Buzzword Guide For Medical AI And Digital Health
Navigating AI in medicine and digital health can feel like ordering a coffee at that new hipster café downtown: exciting yet slightly overwhelming with a menu that seems to be in a different language. A while ago we published a buzzword dictionary to help you decode the most frequently repeated terms. Back then artificial intelligence and machine learning were rarely heard exotic expressions, but as quite a few years have passed, a whole new set of mambo-jambo emerged, waiting to be explained.
You’re probably sick of hearing the latest digital health buzzwords without any actual context, so let’s translat...

The Latest AI Craze: Ambient Scribing
By MATTHEW HOLT
Okay, I can’t do it any longer. As much as I tried to resist, it is time to write about ambient scribing. But I’m going to do it in a slightly odd way
If you have met me, you know that I have a strange English-American accent, and I speak in a garbled manner. Yet I’m using the inbuilt voice recognition that Google supplies to write this story now.
Side note: I dictated this whole thing on my phone while watching my kids water polo game, which has a fair amount of background noise. And I think you’ll be modestly amused about how terrible the original transcript was. But then...

Radiology ’ s Next Phase: Real-Time Collaboration Leading the Way
The following is a guest article by Vivian Liu, COO at Braid Health
One thing in healthcare remains constant: the need for answers. This is why radiology is a pillar of our healthcare system because, without a diagnosis, there is no treatment.
In today’s digital age, people want things to be fast, convenient, and reliable. The same is true in healthcare. Patients seek fast, crystal-clear answers to their issues.
In the last 5–10 years, substantial innovations in imaging, particularly through deep learning methods of image classification, have emerged. A noteworthy development is the augmentation of radiology with A...
