Vishnu Ravi, MD

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! 🚀

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

Phase 1 Study of AAV9.LAMP2B Gene Therapy in Danon Disease | NEJM Danon disease is a rare, X-linked, monogenic cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the lysosomal-associated membrane 2 gene (LAMP2), which encodes the LAMP2 protein. In male patients, the predomina...

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.
