Healthcare accounts for about 9% of carbon utilization, a pre-AI estimate. Thanks @chethan.bsky.social and team for this important discussion of the impact of AI on climate change. catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

What is the environmental cost of Health AI? @chethan.bsky.social recently coauthored a paper IN NEJM Catalyst with strategies for more sustainable AI adoption for health system leaders, technologists, and policymakers. catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... #MedSky #WhyInformatics #MedAI

AMIA stands firmly with the scientific community in upholding the established gold standard for science, a methodological, evidence-based foundation built upon empirical rigor, objectivity, transparency, peer review, and continuous self-correction.

When you get great minds in a room, that's when innovation happens! @chethan.bsky.social and @thelizarmy.bsky.social saw Christopher Longhurst, Executive Director of Jacobs Center for Health Innovation @jchi-ucsd.bsky.social at the AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference #CIC2025 #medsky #cansky

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics. He was asked whether or not he’d interviewed Hamas, Houthis, or Hezbollah members. He was questioned about his opinions on Trump and Israel.

How are patients using AI to improve their health outcomes? @cait-desroches.bsky.social @danamlewis.bsky.social and @chethan.bsky.social presented new research at the SAIL conference on integrating AI into the clinic. Read more: academic.oup.com/jamiaopen/ar... #cansky #medsky #patientsuseAI

This Earth Day is more important than ever for all individuals who care about protecting our home for generations to come. Centering conversations around Health helps to build coalitions and advance the adaptation and mitigation work needed. At the @nationalacademies.org Climate + Health event

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

Here’s me on that latest episode of The Pitt—one of the most shocking, graphic, and important episodes of TV I’ve ever seen. If didn’t just feel like must-see TV; it felt like a public service. Every American who has tuned out gun violent should have to watch it. slate.com/culture/2025...

NEW: Months before Google was accused in a lawsuit of facilitating the suicide of a teen user of the Google-tied chatbot startup CharacterAI, researchers at Google DeepMind warned in a paper that chatbots could target minors and manipulate vulnerable users into suicide. futurism.com/google-suici...

I’m a pediatrician and I love Medicaid pass it on.

Where does TrumpElon think innovation for all their favorite biotech corporations comes from? PCR only exists because somebody was looking for bacteria in hot springs at Yellowstone. I’m just a private practice ophthalmologist who barely understands p values but even I know this shit is important.

🎉 Celebrating 1 Year of the Lab! 🎉 Launched on February 27, 2024, at #ViVEEvent, the Lab is a hub for innovation at the intersection of clinical documentation, patient engagement, and AI. www.opennotes.org/news/celebra... @cait-desroches.bsky.social @chethan.bsky.social @thelizarmy.bsky.social

OpenNoters @cait-desroches.bsky.social and @chethan.bsky.social were at #ViVEevent ! They connected with our collaborators at @abridge.com like @juliachou.bsky.social. This is a team as passionate as we are about making clinical convos more transparent and useful for patients. #medsky #ViVE2025

Great to hear @cait-desroches.bsky.social advocate for transparency and codesign for Health AI by the true ‘end users’ in care - patients, care partners, and practicing clinicians.

Excited to have shared my thoughts around the need for climate health infrastructure in order to grow and support the innovation opportunities in the space with Rock Health in their 2025 predictions in healthcare innovation. rockhealth.com/insights/hea...

Well, that solves it

How might clinicians play a role in “producing” the patient story? @myopennotes.bsky.social was inspired today by @rickrubin.bsky.social “live in Conversation” w/ the gang from #Abridge. Listening to Slayer at a health tech meeting is ALWAYS on my bingo card. 🎯 #opennotes

What are @chethan.bsky.social @cait-desroches.bsky.social and @stmacdonald.bsky.social all doing with me in Pittsburgh (besides enjoying fantastic food)? We’re building “a-bridges” with other health system leaders on @myopennotes.bsky.social. 🥁ba-dum-dum #rimshot #opennotes

Reading Enviromedics by Jay Lemery & Paul Auerbach—a critical look at how climate change impacts human health. With wildfires now surrounding NYC & NJ, the urgency couldn’t be clearer. 📖🌍 #ClimateHealth www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Thanks to UC Berkeley CITRIS for organizing an incredibly interdisciplinary and powerful mini conference at the intersection of climate, health, food, and AI.

How can we use technology to equitably advance language translation (for written material) in healthcare? Great conversation and leadership by physician informaticians across institutions. Metrics to measure machine translation include accuracy, fluency, meaning, and severity (of error). #AMIA2024

Grateful to my friends and colleagues to continue to advance the work around why healthcare and informatics communities need to engage on addressing climate change. #AMIA2024 #ClimateHealth

Excited to kick off our event on Climate Change, Health, and Equity: the role of informatics and AI. Climate change is the greatest threat to our health and the biggest health equity challenge. An interdisciplinary creative approach and taking action is key. norcalsymposiumorg.wpcomstaging.com

Helped end her 29 week pregnancy after which they buried, exhumed, and then burned the fetus. Which is why police got a warrant. Not because of some normal medical abortion.

With the raging wildfires and respiratory viruses, air quality has emerged as one of the most important issues of our time. I turned to @linseymarr.bsky.social for guidance https://erictopol.substack.com/p/linsey-marr-air-qualitya-major-issue 🧪

Air pollution is harmful to all and especially to children. Gift article, so anyone should be able to read this without a subscription.

Had a little fun showing off all the ways Glitch can help folks take advantage of all the stuff Apple announced today, including the *awesome* support for web apps being a great experience on Macs. You can make a web app on Glitch in under a minute that anyone can run on iOS or MacOS instantly.

These Apple Scuba googles have some pretty nifty real world use case ideas
