We Used Midjourney To Design Digital Health Technologies
Text-to-image AI generators like Midjourney, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion became popular and widely used in the past year. Although these algorithms have their limitations, feeding them with the right prompts can result in spectacular images. So much so that this one generated by Midjourney even won an art prize.
This presents so many fascinating questions and generates fierce debate. I, for one, don’t believe AI will replace artists, just as I don’t believe it will replace doctors. You can go on and experiment with these tools to find out for yourself how extremely hard it is to make the algorithm draw a picture like...

What is strange about this paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in an otherwise healthy patient? And what happened after giving ibutilide?
Conclusions.The efficacy of transthoracic cardioversion for converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm was enhanced by pretreatment with ibutilide. However, use of this drug should be avoided in patients with very low ejection fractions. (N Engl J Med 1999;340:1849-54.) Smith comments from the full text: They included patients who had had a fib for less than 48 hours They excluded patients with a fib for longer than 48 hours unless they proved, by TE echo, to not have an atrial thrombus OR unless they anti-coagulated them for 3 weeks first *Therefore, our patients who have been in afib< 48 hours, or who h...

N of 1 studies – great examples
This study examined whether it’s more fruitful to expose people to many activities they’ve previously avoided, or instead, to limit the number of activities each person was exposed to. This is SUCH an important component of therapy where people have avoided doing things that bother them because they anticipate either that their pain will go to untolerable levels (or interfere with other important things like sleep) or because they’re worried they’ll do harm to themselves. Why? Because doing things in one safe space is not life. We do lots of activities in lots of different spaces, and most of them a...
