@tkexpress11 Would love to meet and share more about Hera's AI Powered sperm health platform herafertility.co

@Dannica_Switzer @SickKidsNews @OntariosDoctors I understand moving referrals to be electronic and recommending it. But you still have to accept faxes! Smh

You want to talk about burnout in medicine? This is why.
Referral faxed to subspecialty - declined due to age.
Resent to SickKids - declined as not submitted via portal. Fax response on paper recommended I use this 9 line “link”. Get a grip @SickKidsNews

The largest real-world AI medical device trial just published. The results are... complicated.
The setup:
205 NHS primary care practices. 1.5 million patients. Eko Health's AI-enabled stethoscope vs. standard care.
Published in The Lancet (Feb 14, 2026). Nature Medicine dedicated a commentary.
This is how you test AI in healthcare. Not lab benchmarks. Real clinics. Real doctors. Real patients.
The headline finding:
When clinicians actually used the AI stethoscope, detection rates jumped:
• Heart failure: 2.3X
• Atrial fibrillation: 3.5X
• Valvular heart disease: 1.9X
The algorithm works. No question.
The problem:
The intention-to-treat analysis showed no significant difference between intervention and control groups.
Translation: on average, across all practices, patients weren't diagnosed any better.
Why?
Implementation gaps.
The AI stethoscope improved detection dramatically — when used. But adoption was inconsistent. Workflow integration failed. Some clinicians ignored the alerts. Some forgot the device. Some didn't trust it.
The algorithm was sound. The humans were the bottleneck.
The deeper lesson:
This is AI's dirty secret in healthcare. We obsess over model performance — AUC, sensitivity, specificity. But the real challenge isn't building the model. It's getting clinicians to use it.
An algorithm with 95% accuracy that sits in a drawer is worse than one with 80% accuracy that's actually deployed.
What the commentary said:
Nature Medicine called it "the perils of implementation gaps."
The gap between "works in theory" and "works in practice" is where most AI healthcare projects die.
My take:
This study is actually good news for AI in medicine. It proves the technology works. The detection improvements are real and substantial.
But it also proves that deployment is harder than development. UX matters. Workflow integration matters. Clinician trust matters.
The next generation of AI medical devices needs to be designed with implementation in mind, not just algorithmic performance.
We're entering the "implementation era" of AI healthcare. The low-hanging fruit of algorithm development is picked. The hard work now is making these tools actually useful in chaotic clinical environments.
TRICORDER is a roadmap for what to fix. Not a reason to stop.

Trying to convince every CEO in Toronto to host a @Barrys class during @TOtechweek so I can show up to free classes.

watching uoft get this kind of stuff hurts
why is waterloo's endowment fund so much worse? it should be goated, on paper. maybe grads have too much trauma to donate

State of the art, expanded facilities are proposed to replace the existing West Wing of the Medical Sciences Building at the UofT’s St George campus.
