Google had a huge week: First, CEO Sundar Pichai demonstrated how their large language model (LLM) called Bard could describe X-rays. Secondly, we learned that later this summer, Med-PaLM 2, a medical large language model with 540 billion parameters and knowledge from scientific papers and websites, will be made available to a select group of customers.
And lastly, they recently also outlined how the Lens image search feature built into its apps on iOS and Android can “search for skin conditions” like an “odd mole or rash.”??
"This development highlights the importance of physicians mastering the ability to formulate commands (prompts) to communicate seamlessly with artificial intelligence. Prompts refer to the AI language that allows us to ask AI to perform specific tasks, such as describing a mammogram or generating a creative image in a chosen style."
Efficiently communicating with AI with not replace but rather allow us to listen more to patients, although I know this is still not grasped universally.
ChatGPT has made a name for itself in the world of AI, along with Bard and MedPaLM. Following the success of these first-generation language models, a host of alternatives, including the open-source project Spark NLP for Healthcare, have emerged.
However, the large language model ecosystem is expanding rapidly, with dozens or perhaps hundreds of ChatGPT alternatives. So, let’s explore some other intriguing options out there.
This book will guide you to understand what you can anticipate from AI in healthcare and how to control this technology.
From covering the basic terms and concepts to introducing the use cases, discussing social and ethical implications and facing the greatest challenges - you will get up to speed in no time.
We are thrilled to announce the recent publication of our new study, Forecasting Artificial Intelligence Trends in Health Care: Systematic International Patent Analysis in the Journal of Medical Internet Research AI (JMIR AI). Our study takes an interesting deep dive into healthcare # AI patents from the last decade, analysing over 10,000 of them from 2012 to 2022.
By analysing more than 10,000 AI patents, it is possible to predict which specialties will see the largest number of new technologies and will need new regulations.

When there is a great AI solution such as skin-checking apps and you can integrate it as a feature into another product too.
"Google Lens is now able to offer more information on that pesky rash that you’re not sure whether to worry about. In a blog post published this week, Google outlined how the Lens image search feature built into its apps on iOS and Android can “search for skin conditions” like an “odd mole or rash.” It’ll also work on other parts of your body if you want more information about a bump on your lip, line on a nail, or hair loss from your scalp."
Some physicians find that ChatGPT improves their ability to communicate empathetically with patients!
"He (...) expected that large language models could take tasks that eat up hours of doctors’ time and contribute to burnout, like writing appeals to health insurers or summarizing patient notes. Most surprising to Dr. Lee, though, was a use he had not anticipated — doctors were asking ChatGPT to help them communicate with patients in a more compassionate way."
Uber Health just announced that they would deliver healthy groceries and over-the-counter items to patients who need them.
"If a provider or payer customer notices that a patient needs an Uber Health service — whether it’s groceries, over-the-counter items, transportation, or prescriptions — they can request it on the platform. They can also save notes on the patient, such as dietary restrictions, to ensure they deliver the right items."
