@barttels2 @AaronGoodman33 I thought it was better than expected but regardless - this tech has all the same data that the human physician does from patient visits - the only logic for its use would be if it was a better predictor of patient wishes than their doctor… hard sell for me

@AaronGoodman33 Did you read it? I thought it was much better than I expected. Including dimensions of "ambient voice technology," which I have heard elsewhere preserved by people for relatives who have died. Currently such a radically imperfect system might only get better.

@WilliamAird4 a nice practical point for those referring to hematology. In a real world setting >80% of the patients with an elevated Hb had secondary erythrocytosis, and the pretest prob of OSA or smoking is >MPN. Maybe I can convince some PCPs to get sleep studies BEFORE referring

SECONDARY POLYCYTHEMIA Nice little retrospective single center (my alma mater) cohort study of Jak2-mutation-negative patients with elevated Hb. Some of the usual causes + additional evidence for a possible association with use of SGLT2 inhibitors.
