@aribindi This is a huge problem in surgery. Not to mention any trials in surgery rarely if ever accounts for differences in intraoperative decision making, gross surgical pathology, etc. @ddonoho is working on this @SurgicalDSC We need new clinical trials to help answer those q’s

Neurosurgery has been using The Letter to Garcia to describe the ideal candidate for years. Looks like it’s making its way to the startup lexicon. Nice.
There is almost infinite demand for people shaped like this, dating back to the letter to Garcia. What you call them is sort of irrelevant and they often exist in odd parts of the org chart anyway.

🤔 These are strange, cherry picked standards. The question to ask any clinical AI system is: 1) Are outcomes better Or, assuming equivalent outcomes: 2) Are clinicians happier 3) Are patients happier
3 questions to ask about any clinical AI system: 1) Is the data immutable? - is the data displayed always correct? 2) Is the system deterministic? - given the same combination of inputs, the same answer is always reached 3) Is the output reproducible? - can someone else replicate exactly? If it fails any of these, it's likely not usable.

@katieelink @clem I mean from a research standpoint sure. But the products used in any clinical environment are commercial. And almost never open sourced. The article read like an informatics gripe. But what matters most is efficacy, NNT etc… the same things we use for every drug or device.

Surgical masters routinely share operative video, invaluable for trainees like me. The next step: a suite of next-gen stats, quantified tool movements, tool-tissue interaction metrics, all w AI @ddonoho @SurgicalDSC pose this challenge for surgical innovators at #digitalnsgy
@mtlawton wrote a fantastic editorial message in @NeurosurgeryCNS about surgical video and social media. Having just returned from four days with world experts in sports analytics, pilot training, special operations, AI, and other surgical fields ... I have some thoughts... 🧵

@heacockmd I was impressed; think how far we have come in not long. We will need to, very quickly, move on to discussing how AI systems + Human MDs can “team up”. Liability, hallucinations, are all problems, but that doesn’t mean these systems can’t be helpful. Curious your thoughts

@pranavrajpurkar @HarvardDBMI @MITEcon Great work, I think highlights the need much more human-ai team research. Why do you think different parameters yield different levels of “trust” with any model? See:

If only 14% of Americans (approx 42M) have used chatGPT based on Pew polling, that means americans are only 24% of chatGPT users? Does this track? Majority of use is China/India? Assumes unique accounts only, but also doesn’t account for interval growth. Back of envelope.
ChatGPT just crossed 170,000,000+ users. Yet The average person has no clue about these prompts. Copy-Paste these 8 Advanced ChatGpt prompts to become better than 99% of ChatGPT Users. 🧵 👇

Must-read thread on corporate healthcare Many in #MedTwitter quickly call out “evil!” entities but refuse to learn how incentive structures promote actions #FinTwit #finance only sees the balance sheet. But in healthcare, this has dramatic costs, likely effecting them too!
Recent NYT article on moral injury in doctors mentions role of the financial industry in harming health care, but doesn’t explain the mechanics of how this happens. But it’s worth understanding. Here’s a thread with a simplified example:
