Really nice to see someone flag this area @thekaransinghal , IMO Evaluation methodology in health AI is arguably the most underdiscussed bottleneck in the field right now. A few thoughts from a clinical epidemiology lens that might push the discussion further: The ecological validity argument is valid and strong. Answering MCQs clearly don't capture real world use. But the same argument applies in reverse, we need to know how untrained users interact with these systems, not just how models perform under ideal conversational conditions. HealthBench is an interesting instrument, but the field would benefit enormously from knowing more about rater selection, blinding, inter-rater reliability, and conversation sourcing. Can we use that as a reproducible scientific tool, is the real question. The 99% triage figure needs context — CIs, sample size for the emergency subset, and the operational definition of "emergency" would help the community interpret it properly. And the biggest gap: we're still entirely in the realm of process measures. When we start measuring those hard outcomes like say …does this actually change morbidity, mortality, time-to-diagnosis? The questions you pose at the end deserve a serious, multi-stakeholder answer. Looking forward to seeing this evolve.

📢 Applications Open - A Short Course on Digital Health by team DHRUVA DHRUVA (Digital Health for Responsive, User-centered, Viable Applications) Team invites applications for a 3-day in-person short course on Digital Health, scheduled 1–3 June 2026 at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru campus. ✳️Digital health interventions fail when the right people aren't talking to each other. Researchers produce evidence that never reaches implementers. Founders build tools that funders don't understand. Designers create products clinicians won't use. The gap isn't technical — it's relational. That's why this is designed specifically for the people who sit at every node of that network: → Researchers & epidemiologists → Startup founders & product builders → Public health administrators & program implementers → Venture capitalists & impact investors → NGOs & civil society organizations → Industry professionals & health system partners → UX/service designers in health When these voices share the same table, digital health actually works. #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #HealthInnovation

How and when to use causal and associational language ✳️This article explores the critical importance of using causal language in medical and epidemiological research when the underlying study objective is to determine cause and effect. ⚠️ The authors argue that avoiding such terminology in favour of vague words like "association" creates ambiguity, making it difficult to define research questions or address potential biases. 💡 Ultimately, they suggest that being explicit about causal intentions encourages transparent reporting and more rigorous scientific thinking. doi.org/10.1136/bmj-20…
