Using AI for healthcare? I'm hoping to connect Bay Area ePatients using #ChatGPT, #Claude, or #Gemini for medical visits + records. Looking to build a network for patient-led AI use. If you are in Bay Area please DM/reach out. #PatientsUseAI #ePatients #HealthAI #BayArea

AI-assisted primary care in Kenya racks up impressive reduction in diagnostic and therapeutic errors. When do we fix primary care in Boston and Palo Alto?

CMS will fully participate in trusted data exchange. That means responding to provider and patient access requests — not just technically, but meaningfully.

Tried using AI and didn’t get the result you wanted? You’re not alone. But that doesn’t mean AI “doesn’t work.” 🧵 How to get better at using AI—and why it’s worth it.

@danamlewis Great diagram! A few more: 1⃣ Submit the same task to multiple models and compare outputs; 2⃣ Provide the AI with detailed, task-specific context; 3⃣ Use one model to help refine prompts for another; 4⃣ And my secret weapon: apply chain of thought reasoning across models. ✊👊

Reality:

@neumanmd @mcpoliti Congratulations on the publication! I truly appreciate your partnership, support, and mentorship. Collaborating with you, Dr @MCPoliti and the other researchers has been an invaluable learning experience, and I look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you! ✌️👊

Engaging patients as co-authors is essential for patient-centered science. Yet little guidance now exists to explain or help navigate complex co-authorship processes. With @HugoOC @mcpoliti and others, I share some thoughts on how to make things better: link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Today, we at OpenAI launched Deep Researcher and I wanted to share a deeply personal story about how amazing this tool is and how it will change the world. Trigger warning, related to cancer....1/9

@TheLizArmy @UCDavisHealth @UCSFHospitals @BeLikeLight @chethanr @trentrosenbloom @ePatientDave I found that it has trouble reporting accurate details. So, I started using PicnicHealth so I could easily check the timeline and compare dates, and also started feeding the LLM smaller PDFs. I find that it's more accurate that way.

Is the GPT accurate? It got these hospitalizations right! Can't wait to include data from @UCDavisHealth & @UCSFHospitals (2017-Now). 🤓 #healthIT #patientsuseAI

I'm about 1/3 of the way through creating a personalized GPT that includes: -medical records from @kpnorcal @UCDavisHealth + @UCSFHospitals -research grade genomic results -personal narratives from >500 blog posts So far just the KP data is uploaded. Ask me how... 😅

@zakkohane 5/5 #GenerativeAI has revolutionized how I manage my health and interact with the #healthcare system. It has enhanced my #autonomy and allowed me to better partner with my PCP and cardiologists. #HealthTech #AI #PatientCare

How are patients using AI/LMM to help themselves in their own healthcare? If you have _first_hand_ insights DM me or reply below.

@zakkohane 4/5 For example, I find that asking one model to help me prompt another often yields the best results. I cannot imagine my life as a chronic patient without access to these AI tools. They are life-changing!

@zakkohane 3/5 I just started using Meta Llama 3.1-405B and have been impressed with its medical knowledge for my use case. Each LLM has its unique strengths and weaknesses, so I find that combining various models is the most effective way to get the answers I seek.

@zakkohane 2/5 I also conduct research, analyze data, seek medical advice (yes, that too), and even assist with diagnoses using AI. I primarily use GPT-4, followed closely by Perplexity Pro, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Opus, Gemini, Cohere Command R+, and any other LLM I can get my hands on.

@zakkohane 1/5 As a patient and caregiver to an elderly parent, I use #GenerativeAI every single day for everything health-related. This includes writing succinct messages to my doctor, preparing for clinic visits, and translating records to Portuguese.

@asher_971 I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and got the same message. I use Gig car share and love the service. This is too bad.

Damn. It's unfortunate no one can seem to make a car sharing service work in Seattle. I use the service once a month or so.

I just published Howard, my healthcare agent. link.medium.com/3vYvs1W1zJb

@ePatientDave I'm only experimenting to see which of the three provides the most value to a patient seeking to understand their condition or that of a loved one. Like I said, I have high hopes for Gemini Advanced, but GPT4 is really knocking it out of the park.

@HugoOC I'm thrilled that you're doing this work, Hugo. What can we learn from this comparison? Are there clinically useful differences for a patient (or clinician)? Or are you just experimenting to see what happens?

@ePatientDave I asked Claude.AI the same question but it needed a readable PDF. Claude missed the EF, a critical bit of information. #GPT4 provided the most comprehensive analysis. What these LLMs do really well is translate medical lingo into language we all can understand.👏👏
