Mostly renowned for its powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) used in the video game industry, NVIDIA is no stranger to healthcare. In fact, it has a dedicated branch to offer solutions that its computing platform can deliver in medicine and was among the first players significantly investing in AI.  These initiatives might have been seen with some confusion five or seven years ago but certainly gave NVIDIA an edge in the past two years. For example when almost a year ago this study was published. The authors trained a large language model for medical language and fine-tuned it across a ..read more

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 flo ..read more

Weight loss injections are now widely used as miracle drugs for effortless skinniness. But without digital health, they just won’t work in the long run. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, approved Wegovy, a semaglutide injection for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition for use in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity in 2021.  Semaglutide was originally used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and was found to have a major lucky side effect: being very effective in assisting we ..read more

“Historical footage of California during the gold rush.” From this simple prompt, OpenAI’s new text-to-video model Sora could generate a 25-second footage of what one could at a glance indeed think is real footage from that era. While such abilities of the company’s new artificial intelligence model were demonstrated in videos, Sora is not currently publicly available. Nevertheless, its potential to create videos from simple text is bound to have consequences for the film and advertising industries. This has also led us to contemplate its possible medical and healthcare implications when it wi ..read more

The wonders of AI in healthcare are undeniable, revolutionising diagnostics and prevention with astonishing advancements.
