FDA has cleared Bunkerhill AAQ, the first AI algorithm to automatically measure abdominal aortic diameter on CT scans with or without contrast. Developed at Stanford by Dr. @DrAalami and Adrit Rao. 🔗 Read the story: bunkerhillhealth.com/resources/fda-…

You know when you have moments where you think, "There has got to be a better way" Well, this is how it all started....with frustration around missed abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diagnoses, late diagnoses, poor follow up and non-standardized approaches to measuring and following AAAs. Most AAAs are found incidentally as they are otherwise "silent" until they rupture. There are 30 million CT scans done in the US of the abdomen and pelvis every year. No AAA should be missed when such opportunistic AI algorithms are put into place to review every CT scan. Also, now health systems and hospitals can much more easily create AAA registries and track AAA size changes over time in a standardized fashion. More to come in this!! 🚀 Thank you @AdritRao, @Dr_ASChaudhari , @loublanks and @joinBunkerhill team for helping to give this algorithm the "medical grade" stamp of approval. This could not have been possible without the Comp2Comp platform from @StanfordMed @StanfordAIMI group's open-source Python package designed for rapid and automated body composition analysis of CT scans. All open-source 🚀

We are strengthening connections across the Atlantic! Our group was invited to give a keynote and host a workshop at the Digital Health Innovation Forum #DHIF2025 in Potsdam, Germany last week and it was a full house! We showcased our team’s research, translation, and educational work in mobile and digital health and held a fully booked digital health design workshop together with patient and clinician advocates. Thank you @arieldora, @mikrowie and the @HPI_DE Digital Health Cluster (Pauline Gieseler, Linea Schmidt, @LarsMasanneck) for hosting and creating an incredibly engaging conference! A huge shoutout and thank you to Jasmin Mir and Nadja Birkenbach-von Kuzenko for sharing your stories and centering our workshop around the patient experience and to Lars Masanneck and Anne Sophie Kubasch for bringing your clinical expertise. Excited to keep scaling access to care together 🚀 cc: @DrAalami, @vishnuravi, @PSchmiedmayer, @AZahedivash, @AdritRao Photos: Reinhardt/Sommer

This past week, students in the Digital Health Implementation track at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden got an in-person crash course from our teaching team 🚀 - @DrAalami unveiled the unique challenges and considerations specific to developing digital solutions for healthcare. - @vishnuravi presented healthcare data standards and interoperability frameworks that promote information exchange across healthcare systems. - @AZahedivash discussed best practices for data privacy and security when working with protected health information. - @AdritRao guided students through resources for learning the fundamentals of iOS development and principles of accessible user interface design. - @PSchmiedmayer explored software engineering best practices, agile methodologies, and demonstrated the @StanfordSpezi framework. Next week, students will begin applying these concepts in their own projects. We look forward to guiding them alongside their instructors and mentors through their development process. A huge thank you to Torbjörn Lundh, Peter Kelly, Stefan Candefjord and team for making this collaboration possible. We can't wait to see what the students build and look forward to our next visit to Sweden!

Super excited to be selected as a winner of Apple’s WWDC #SwiftStudentChallenge! This year, I built "Eye See", an app that uses live camera visualizations to demonstrate the impact of eye diseases on daily life 👁️📱 Looking forward to attending #WWDC25 🎉

We were honored to help kick off a new Digital Health Implementation course in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology and Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. This course is based on our flagship CS342 Building for Digital Health course at Stanford. The students brought remarkable energy, enthusiasm, and diverse skillsets that truly inspired us. Our team looks forward to guiding them as they develop innovative digital health solutions over the next two months! @DrAalami @vishnuravi @PSchmiedmayer @AZahedivash @AdritRao

We have wrapped up another incredible quarter of the Building for Digital Health course at Stanford with the amazing help from @DrAalami , @AdritRao , @NickRiedman, @vishnuravi, @PSchmiedmayer, and @AZahedivash! #DigitalHealth @StanfordSpezi

I had a great time being a TA for @StanfordBDHG CS342/MED253 for the second year! 🚀 It's amazing to see the impactful digital health apps that the students are able to bring to life using @StanfordSpezi. Excited to see the real-world impact that these solutions will have!

Apple has announced the upcoming #WWDC25 #SwiftStudentChallenge (developer.apple.com/swift-student-…)! It is an amazing experience and I highly recommend participating! 💻📱

Our team members @AdritRao & Paul Heidekrüger at the @Apple Developer Center today! We are excited about your Apple Vision Pro projects advancing healthcare and accessibility! 🚀

Visited the Apple Developer Center today for the Vision Pro event with @PBHDK! Really amazing features in visionOS 2 and the object tracking demo was awesome 🌎 🔥 Looking forward to sharing details on the @StanfordBDHG @StanfordSpezi Surgery project soon!

@StanfordBDHG team hard at work! As Steve Jobs said, 'The only way to do great work is to love what you do.' Passion fuels our innovation in digital health! 💡❤️ #Inspired #DigitalHealth

A reminder that people bring a project like @StanfordSpezi to life and we ❤️our team! A lot of passion behind these smiles. 😁 Team dinner @ Rosotti’s / Alpine Inn in Portola Valley with summer interns

Do you use #Spezi in your projects? Let us know and share your work in our GitHub discussions section: github.com/orgs/StanfordS… We would like to hear from you what you like and what can be improved. #opensource contributors are always more than welcome! 🎉

I really enjoyed speaking about my journey into apps and AI at the Santa Clara County Office of Education @SCCOE! It was great to discuss the future of STEM education and ways we can increase student creativity and engagement through visual STEM tools with K-5 teachers.

Excited to conduct my iOS app development course for the fourth year! This time I will be hosting two sessions, including a new one on Core ML ✨. This initiative is partnered with the @cityofpaloalto supported @GetInvolvedPA. Enroll now at this link bit.ly/L2Code4Kids

I had an amazing time at #GoogleIO ! Super excited about Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash. I was also amazed by the widespread integration of Gemini across Google services and introduction of Project Astra from @GoogleDeepMind. Thank you for the opportunity to attend @ashley_oldacre!

IMIL shows the potential of interactive feedback over traditional randomized pre-training augmentations for medical AI. We are excited to continue validating IMIL on more diseases and imaging modalities! Looking forward to presenting @CVPR! ✨🎉

🥼 Our clinical user-study with @StanfordRad residents showed that 30 min IMIL interactions on just 20 training samples yielded improvements in accuracy, confidence calibration, and clinical relevance of heat-maps over SOA modern augmentations (CutMix, MixUp, and CutOut). 4/5

I am excited to share our #CVPR2024 DEF-MIA paper on the Interactive Medical Image Learning Framework (IMIL) 🩻! We showed that IMIL could effectively use clinician feedback on just 4% of the dataset to yield a 4.2% improvement in accuracy! 🚀 🧵 below arxiv.org/abs/2404.10965
