It uses physiological data from multiple sensors to assess hormone levels with calibration with urine samples so I see no reason it wouldn’t work for you. Given that this was a company and not a product launch, privacy protections are being developed still.

My 10 year old niece was watching TV, and there was a travel ad. Someone asked her if she would like to visit there. She replied, “This is probably all fake. I can’t trust the world.”

This is the world generative AI is creating.

Be careful with using AI to craft your personal statements. AI-based statements begin to sound REALLY similar (the tone, wording, etc is really similar). This will cause your readers to zone out. The fresh voice of an AI-less personal statement, on the other hand, will snap them out of it.

Game over. The 21 month old knows what tahdig is and demands it by name when he sees me having a piece. Between him and the six year old, my tahdig eating days are over.

One of my six year old’s classmates was encouraging her saying, “There’s no such thing as fear. It’s all in your mind.”

As we talk more about the use of LLMs by both the general public and professionals for high risk tasks like healthcare... there's one thing I don't see mentioned as often, which is sycophancy.

Sycophancy occurs when LLMs sacrifice truthfulness for user agreement. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.08177

Today I went on a Stanford sponsored grant writing retreat for junior faculty. Given the constant assault on academia, the mood was muted but at least we got beautiful views.

On call this weekend and time for the wise @misharosenbach.bsky.social pearl. “Any erosion in the hospital is HSV or VZV until proven otherwise.” So as I tell the residents: always swab!

Heard from #CHIL2025 panel: VC doesn’t want to fund high risk work (one VC even said “write a R01 grant). That’s what NIH grants are supposed to be. Without that, we won’t be able to do the high risk work that leads to innovation and companies.

Remembering @atulbutte.bsky.social at #CHIL2025. The world lost an amazing light and mentor. He helped shape my career and the careers of many others in the medical informatics and medical AI space.
