Cough Monitoring, CRISPR-GPT, Career Guide - The Monthly Digest From The Medical Futurist

Everything we've been working on in one dose When we decided it was time for a major update to our 'A Guide to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare' ebook, we had no idea how timely it would be, following the launch of ChatGPT-4o and the announcement of Med-Gemini. A lucky coincidence! And, while we were at it, we also gathered four real-world examples of [AI diagnostics currently in use]( which we've detailed in a new article. Additionally, we spent time envisioning highly specialized GPTs for medicine, explored digital solutions for patients with tremors, and shared a few tried-and-tested time management tips. I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards, Berci Bertalan Meskó, PhD The Medical Futurist [COUGH MONITORING SOLUTIONS: THE CURRENT DIGITAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE]( Cough is a common symptom that has traditionally not been easy to track as a health metric. New digital health technologies, including specialised hardware and artificial intelligence-based software, can provide more details into one’s coughing habit for self-evaluation as well as clinical assessments. [READ MORE]( WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? With these new technologies, cough monitoring can become as common as step tracking, offering deeper health insights to both patients and doctors. [THE PROMISE OF CRISPR GPT: SPECIALISED CHATGPTS COULD TRANSFORM MEDICINE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve recently come across some fascinating developments in the field of gene editing: CRISPR GPT, a large language model agent designed to automate the design of gene-editing experiments. This got me thinking: what other ‘specialty GPTs‘ could we think of? What highly specific applications might there be for large language models (LLMs)? [READ MORE]( WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? From Surgeon-GPT to Nutrition-GPT, you can bet we will see these specialized models helping out in data-intensive medical niches. [BULLETPROOF TIME MANAGEMENT STRATEGY]( --------------------------------------------------------------- I’m juggling research, keynote speeches, managing The Medical Futurist team, staying healthy and exercising, unwinding with video games, getting lost in a good book every day and raising a family with two young kids. Yeah, time management is pretty much my middle name! I recently shared this strategy with my PhD students, and it got such a positive response that I figured I'd extend the time-saving tips to you all as well in this video. Hopefully you will find something useful among them. [WATCH THE VIDEO]( [4 EXCITING EXAMPLES OF AI DIAGNOSTICS ALREADY IN USE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Recent advancements propelled AI from vague promises to practical, real-world applications – already delivering tangible results. We collected solid examples, backed by peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials, all using AI for clinical work today, in real-life settings. [READ MORE]( WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? To fully benefit from these AI tools, healthcare professionals (and regulators, policymakers, etc.) need a working knowledge and basic understanding of how AI operates and integrates into medical practice. [A GUIDE TO THE FUTURE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The major changes in medicine present new challenges to which medical students might not be prepared for. Medical practices of the future will be marked with novel technologies and, importantly, a cultural transformation. Here are eight cornerstones of this coming change. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? A medical student’s path has traditionally been one of the most challenging, but this became increasingly so with the AI revolution.
