Episode 2 of our video podcast series The Future of Medicine drops today! In front of a live audience at Stanford University, I had a chance to chat to Sumbul Desai, Vice President of Health at Apple. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXRj...

One of the year's most talked-about moments came when Mark Cuban (@mcuban.bsky.social) joined Euan Ashley for a powerful discussion at #MedicineGrandRounds. As 2025 comes to a close, we're reflecting on conversations like this that challenge us to think bigger. https://stanford.io/3FbkfZr

Just wrapped up an incredible weekend mentoring teams at calhacks.io! The last time I was here, I was still in med school, hacking on weekends to keep my coding skills sharp. Amazing to see how much it’s grown. Thanks to the team for having me back! 🚀

At #ClimateWeekNYC, Vishnu Ravi (@vishnuravi.bsky.social) showcased Stanford Spezi at Cornell Tech’s Health in Climate AI Hackathon, helping teams use our Stanford Spezi framework, JupyterHealth, and AI tools to address health impacts from heat, air quality, and severe weather.

🇸🇪 Just wrapped up an incredible week hosting Team Sahlma, winners of the first international replication of our CS342 Building for Digital Health course in Sweden! Svea Strassburger, Frida Piscator Petersson, Amina Shaji and Houshi He, mentored by Dr. Zoha Saket, tackled IVF treatment challenges..

Excited to speak at the @dcinetwork.org Conference at @harvard.edu, June 25–27, 2025, to share our AI and digital health work at @stanfordbdhg.bsky.social and leading the development of the @stanfordspezi.bsky.social ecosystem. Thanks to @yuriquintana.com for bringing this community together!

We had a great time at the AMIA (American Medical Informatics Association) Clincial Informatics Conference! Exciting to share our efforts within the @stanfordspezi.bsky.social ecosystem and all the research, translation, and teaching we are doing at @stanfordbdhg.bsky.social 🚀

Congrats @vishnuravi.bsky.social, @pschmiedmayer.bsky.social & Aydin Zahedivash on a successful workshop and presentation at @amiainformatics.bsky.social #CIC25 on building patient-centered digital health solutions with Stanford Spezi and promoting digital health innovation in pediatrics!

Our team is at @amiainformatics.bsky.social #CIC25! Join @vishnuravi.bsky.social, @pschmiedmayer.bsky.social, & @AZahedivash tomorrow morning at 10:30am for a hands-on workshop on building your own #FHIR based, AI-enabled digital health app with Stanford Spezi (@stanfordspezi.bsky.social)!

Our team benchmarked the leading on‑device inference models for healthcare, demonstrating that fine‑tuned LLaMa variants deliver state‑of‑the‑art performance directly on mobile and embedded devices - enabling private, offline AI‑driven diagnostics right out of your pocket: arxiv.org/abs/2502.08954

@pschmiedmayer.bsky.social, Patrick Langer, and Thomas Kaar represented our group at #LlamaCon2025 and presented our poster on “Medicine on the Edge: Comparative Performance Analysis of On‑Device LLMs for Clinical Reasoning", work by Leon Nissen, et. al.

Incorporating clinicians and computer scientists in a multidisciplinary team is the secret of success; congratulations to @draalami.bsky.social, @vishnuravi.bsky.social, Aydin, and everyone in our team who aims to be a medical doctor in the future 🚀

On National Doctor's Day, we proudly honor our team's exceptional physician leaders — Dr. Oliver Aalami (@draalami.bsky.social), Dr. Vishnu Ravi (@vishnuravi.bsky.social), and Dr. Aydin Zahedivash — who balance their clinical careers with pioneering work in digital health. 🚀

This past week, students in Digital Health Implementation at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden got an in-person crash course in digital health app development from our teaching team @draalami.bsky.social @vishnuravi.bsky.social @pschmiedmayer.bsky.social. Excited to see what they build! 🚀

Exciting news! 🚀 Research collaboration from Stanford’s Building for Digital Health course is now published in JMIR Formative Research! 📄 📱 BALANCE App: A study on enhancing distress tolerance in adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Read more: [🔗 formative.jmir.org/2025/1/e70278/ ]

Just in time for new year's resolutions, @euanashley.bsky.social and @pbs.org share insights into just how profound #exercise can be for the human body. #newyear2025

I made this free and open source dev tool: gitingest.com Replace "hub" with "ingest" in any github URL to get a text digest that you can feed into any LLM

2024 was a transformative year for us at Stanford Biodesign Digital Health! Here are the highlights!

We wish you a wonderful holiday season!

📣 Stanford students! Interested in learning how to create a real-world digital health solution with devices and #AI? Only 3 days left to apply for our CS342/MED253 Building for Digital Health course this Winter Quarter! Visit cs342.stanford.edu for more information!

An incredible milestone for our QDG system that validates years of rigorous research and development, and will accelerate the path to reaching #ParkinsonsDisease patients and families in desperate need of a better solution.

One must consider that if DNA data storage takes off we will someday store sequencing data as DNA

The era of precision therapy for inherited cardiovascular disease is here. To date, we had almost nothing to offer patients with severe inherited cardiomyopathy. We are now on the verge of a new chapter with dozens of genetic-based therapies entering clinical trials. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

The @stanfordbdhg.bsky.social team recently participated in the Apple Health Research Summit, sharing insights from Stanford Spezi (@stanfordspezi.bsky.social)—our open-source ecosystem—and strategies for optimizing health data. Read more: bdh.stanford.edu/news/stanfor...
