Nvidia wants to bring "physical AI" to hospitals, with robots for X-rays, linen delivery, and more. AdvertisementNvidia is digging deeper into healthcare — and the tech giant has big ambitions to bring AI to every part of the hospital. "This physical AI thing is coming where your whole hospital is going to turn into an AI," Powell told BI. Physical AI is getting more sophisticated for real-time surgeries, too. But Nvidia sees robots being used far beyond the operating room — including to monitor a patient for falls in their hospital room, or bring them fresh linens, Powell said.

As healthcare startups dive headfirst into building artificial intelligence products to sell to hospitals, a new report suggests many health systems don't yet have policies to support the tech. In a survey of 34 US health systems leaders, only 16% reported having systemwide policies for AI usage and data access. Some health system leaders said they haven't developed policies because the industry is in the early stages of AI adoption.

As a multi-stage VC fund, Lightspeed has an advantage in its exposure to both early-stage and later-stage healthcare markets, Imanbayev said. And many later-stage healthcare startups still have plenty of room to grow, he said. The first one to three years are often slow-moving for a healthcare startup, too, as it works to get its first partnerships with payers or providers, he said. But they also tend to be less risky, since later-stage startups should have revenue streams or partnerships that demonstrate their value.

☆ Why the 14th Amendment Is Being Cited in the Debt Ceiling Debate
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Linda Qiu | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Some have argued that the clause, outlined in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, bars anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office. Now, the standoff over the national debt has renewed debate over Section 4 of the amendment, known as the public debt clause. After the Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, lawmakers sought to set out the terms of the Confederacy’s surrender and the rebellious states’ re-entry into the Union. The 13th Amendment’s formal abolition of slavery also meant that the size of delegations from former Confederate states would increase, even as the states passed discriminatory “Black codes” and prevented former slaves from voting. Reconstructionist Republicans in Congress sought to address these issues by passing the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed citizenship and equal protection for former slaves.

☆ Generative AI Makes Headway in Healthcare
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Belle Lin | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center plans to roll out a generative artificial intelligence-based tool from Abridge AI that helps doctors cut down on the amount of time they spend on notes. Startups offering the same kind of artificial intelligence behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT are making inroads into hospitals and drug companies even as questions remain over the technology’s accuracy. Healthcare startups such as Pittsburgh-based Abridge AI Inc., whose product helps doctors write notes after seeing their patients, and San Francisco-based Syntegra Inc., which uses generative AI to create realistic copies of patient data for research, say they have applied generative artificial intelligence for the safest and most accurate current uses in healthcare.

Funding raised: $27 millionNumber of employees: 20Why it's set to take off next year: Provider burnout is getting worse, and it's exacerbating healthcare's staffing crisis. Nof said he expected Abridge's technology to be in demand next year as hospitals worked to reduce the administrative burdens on doctors. "They've reached a tipping point where people are desperate to gain efficiencies in their workday with all the physician burnout," he said. Abridge's technology takes the audio from doctor-patient interactions and automatically turns it into documentation for billing purposes or a summary of the visit for the patient. That means doctors are relieved of the "hours of pajama time in the evening that they previously spent doing clinical documentation," Cheatham said.

These so-called Twitter Files were proof of “free speech suppression,” the billionaire claimed. But for supporters, the details are less important than the narrative: another battle in Musk’s grand war to protect and enable “free speech” — seemingly everywhere and anywhere. Before Musk, Twitter wisely began labeling and then removing tweets that disseminated false information about the pandemic. But it feels like Musk’s actions as head of Twitter are incorrectly being blended with his statements on free speech. Musk’s self-proclaimed defenses of free speech sound good — most Americans remain, rightly, committed to this fundamental tenet of constitutional freedom.
