Why You Can’t Stop Hearing About ChatGPT (And You Won’t): Applications and Implications for Your Practice, Health Care, and the Future of Medicine

January 21, 2023

Last week we delved into the functionality and growing recognition of ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language model taking the world by storm. Its remarkable fluency, creativity, and generative capabilities far surpass those of any artificial intelligence (AI) technology made available to the public before. One of the primary drivers of its popularity is the range of uses and applications, from automating mundane administrative work to making waves in many different fields, including health care.

In this second part of the blog, we will explore the potential role of ChatGPT in the medical field, its impact on the advancement of digital health, and important considerations and limitations. We will also examine how AI models can be integrated into clinical practice, healthcare, and research and how they can shape the future of medicine. Finally, we will discuss the implications of these latest technology developments for health professionals and their practices.

Thyroid Awareness Month: AI-Assisted Thyroid Nodule Classification

January 24, 2020

January marks the beginning of Thyroid Awareness Month , which aims to spread awareness of thyroid conditions affecting over 20 million individuals living within the United States. Up to 60% of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition, while women are significantly more likely to experience thyroid issues than men. Although the underlying causes of thyroid disease are largely unknown, it is important to routinely evaluate the thyroid as undiagnosed thyroid disease can put patients at risk for severe health complications – including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and infertility.

Alongside conditions such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, the thyroid may also frequently develop nodules. Most don’t cause any symptoms and are benign in the majority of cases, however, a small percentage of thyroid nodules are cancerous. To improve early detection techniques, research efforts have begun investigating the potential benefit of employing artificial intelligence (AI) in classifying thyroid nodules.
