1/ Is it possible for a machine-learning clinical intervention to align patient preferences and spending reductions? In @NEJM_AI, we report on one of the first economic evaluations of a ML-based intervention as part of a prospective trial. Link: ai.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056…

Imagine 4 new anticancer drugs Pallituzumab, Geriatriximab, Symptomab, & Exercizumab hit the market. They should dominate the plenary sessions at ASCO & command billion-dollar revenue. But they don't because they're nonpharmacologic & shame on us. Read our opinion piece in @JCO_ASCO ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.120…

Excited to share our latest in @Health_Affairs! We discuss how an improvement science framework that emphasizes continuous revision can change the way we construct value-based payment models. Honored to collaborate with @BhavJain_ and @KedarMate on this!

Published open-access today in @BMJOncology a very important paper describing the cancer burden in SAARC region consisting of 8 LMICs in South Asia contributing to a quarter of the world population. Super proud of @EChrisDee @Urvish_Jain1 and team for taking this project past the finish line. Also, proud of our team. We wanted to do #globaloncology the right way by collaborating with colleagues from each country who also contributed as coauthors. You’ll see that our authorship team has colleagues who are from or have worked in all these 8 countries (only Maldives is missing in affiliation but some of our colleagues have worked in oncology in Maldives). Our colleagues’ local experience was paramount to put our data into perspective. bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/…

Can we TALK about this truly phenomenal group of trainees, each with an #ASCO24 poster and/or oral presentation? Their work highlights important equity gaps in vulnerable populations. Their passion about improving cancer care is clear. The future of oncology is BRIGHT. 😎

6/ While better conversations and not cost savings was our goal, we hope that studies like these can align patients, health systems, and payers to pursue responsible use of ML when it's indicated!

7/ Be on the lookout for more real-world evaluations of AI-based interventions coming out of @HACLab_UPenn! Grateful to @ravi_b_parikh, @PC3Innovation, @PennMedicine, and co-authors for their unwavering support and mentorship!
