Today @TheLancet published our AMIE study with @BIDMC_Medicine, the first prospective study of patient-facing conversational diagnostics in a real clinic. AMIE is a research system people can chat with before doctors appointments. Testing AMIE outside the lab with real urgent care patients showed how technology can help gather medical histories safely. Clinicians reported that the summaries helped them prepare for visits in 75% of cases and influenced their approach to care in more than half. AMIE’s differential diagnoses also matched the doctors’ final diagnoses 90% of the time giving clinicians more time to focus on patient care. It’s Google’s first-ever paper in The Lancet’s main journal!

I built an interactive echocardiography tutorial with Claude Code. Chapter 07: a 3D heart, the standard imaging views, the probe position, and simulated ultrasound video.

TOF pt with anomalous RCA from mid LAD with typical pre-pulmonic course. It’s a “benign” finding , but surgeons should be made aware. As opening the superior sternum can potentially lead to RCA injury. #ACHD ❤️‍🩹

Dr. @Garedg23, et al observed high rates of cardiometabolic risk factors in Mexican #ACHD pts & risk profiles varied by #CHD lesion complexity. Results highlighted the need for ongoing metabolic health surveillance in the ACHD population. bit.ly/3RyFdF2 #JACCAdvances

Just tried out the new Vsan Air SL. Impressed by the image quality for its size. Attached is a video comparing its #echofirst images with a state-of-the-art machine. Worth a look #ESCCongress #POCUS @ASE360
