What If Generative AI Turned To Be A Flop In Healthcare?
The excitement surrounding generative AI is reaching a fever pitch. From tech giants to healthcare leaders, investment in this seemingly game-changing technology is exploding. We’re embracing the trend: we’ve written dozens of articles, created multiple videos, published an ebook, and recently launched a new short course.
However, amidst the enthusiasm, AI expert Gary Marcus raised an important question a few months ago: What if, for all its promise, generative AI fails to deliver long-term? While he outlined the pessimistic scenario in general, I wanted to dissect what genAI being a flop would mean in hea...

Bringing Contextualized Health Data into the Diagnostic and Treatment Process
Healthcare has always relied on data. What’s changed is the explosion of data in healthcare and the availability of this data to clinicians as well as a whole host of healthcare professionals.

The ‘Barbie Speech’ – How Much Has Really Changed For Women in America?
By MIKE MAGEE
In our world where up is down, and black is white, there is a left and a right – it’s the middle we appear to be missing. Does it exist, or was it make believe all along?
Into this existential despair enters Britt Cagle Grant, the 47-year old Federal Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Stanford Law graduate, blessed by the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo, and former clerk of Hon. Brett Kavanaugh, was nominated by Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate on July 31, 2018.
Now six years later, her words in rejecting DeSantis’s “Stop Woke Act” (otherwise kno...

Health Note Updates the Tired Old Patient Questionnaire
This article discusses the service provided by Health Note, which illustrates the capabilities of modern patient interaction using AI and integration with the EHR.
Even a standard questionnaire can advance us five minutes into a normal fifteen-minute interview. But Health Note can do much better. According to chief technical officer Aaron Rau, their service goes far beyond asking the conventional questions.
Health Note digs into the EHR, using AI, and combines the information found with its own medical knowledge to ask the questions a doctor would normally ask during a visit. “When did the pain start? Has it gotten b...

Occupational therapy education: How to navigate in a Perfect Storm
Please click on and read all of the links - they include critical information that is required for this analysis. A little over four years ago I stated thatthere are too many occupational therapy educational programs in New York State. At the NYSOTA conference legislative information session in 2023 I stood up and suggested that we should all stop taking jobs at these institutions that were seeking to develop new programs. I thought that if we did not take those jobs that the problem would be solved. That was neither realistic or correct, even if the intention was good.Well karma tends to strike...

CMS ’s Policy on Mental Health Therapists Will Work
By JON KOLE
Nearly 66 million Americans are currently enrolled in Medicare, a number that will likely swell towards 80 million Americans within the next seven years. These are our mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends – and, maybe, you.
A significant portion of these millions of people need mental health services – and, yet, many face long wait times or aren’t able to find a therapist at all. On average, Americans have a waiting period of 48 days before receiving mental health care. At present, two notable provider groups – Marriage and Family Therapists...
