Very happy to share that our paper describing a self-service geocoding application has been published. We provide a front end to DeGAUSS for non-technical users. We also added an API interface and management dashboard. #geocoding #geospatial #informatics. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Kedar Mate keynote at #AMIA2025 shared the essence of implementation science IMHO. I often say that i began my career in industry with “here is what i want you to want”. It worked for S Jobs but not so much for me. Now I focus on “what are your needs?” And “how can i help?”

I am very excited to speak (twice!) at the Evelyn Keever Bioethics day at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters on Friday! I'm a "begin with the bad news" person, so the first session will provide background and an honest discussion of the many risks posed by AI in healthcare.

Two puppies resting on a person's lap with a toy nearby, on a grassy surface.

We’re working to advance pediatric care with bold science and bright futures - and sharing all about it at #AAP2025 this weekend. Visit us at booth #568 to explore our latest #BuiltForKids innovations.

PLUS visit our playful puppy playpen for a moment to recharge.

Research suggests doctors might quickly become dependent on AI A study in Poland found that doctors appeared less likely to detect abnormalities during colonoscopies on their own after they'd grown used to help from an AI tool.

I appreciated NPR's coverage of a recent paper demonstrating providers becoming dependent on AI and "deskilling" when AI was not available. There is a link to the Lancet paper in the story.
