Introduction Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly; an important consideration the public’s increasing ability to customise foundational AI models create publicly accessible applications tailored for specific tasks. This study aims evaluate accessibility and functionality descriptions of customised GPTs on OpenAI GPT store that provide health-related information or assistance patients healthcare professionals. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional observational from September 2 6, 2024, identify with functions. searched across general medicine, psychology, oncology, cardiology, immunology applications. Identified were assessed their name, description, intended audience, usage. Regulatory status was checked U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA), European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR), Australian Therapeutic Goods (TGA) databases. Results A total 1,055 customised, targeting professionals identified, which had collectively been used in over 360,000 conversations. Of these, 587 psychology-related, 247 105 52 30 immunology, 34 other health specialties. Notably, 624 identified included professional titles (e.g., doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, oncologist) names and/or descriptions, suggesting they taking such roles. None FDA, EU MDR, TGA-approved. Discussion highlights rapid emergence accessible, GPTs. The findings raise questions about whether current medical device regulations are keeping pace technological advancements. results also highlight potential “role creep” chatbots, where begin perform — claim functions traditionally reserved licensed professionals, underscoring safety concerns.

Background An accurate prognostic tool is essential to aid clinical decision-making (e.g., patient triage) and advance personalized medicine. However, such a lacking for acute pancreatitis (AP). Increasingly machine learning (ML) techniques are being used develop high-performing models in AP. methodologic reporting quality has received little attention . High-quality study methodology critical model validity, reproducibility, implementation. In collaboration with content experts ML methodology, we performed systematic review critically appraising the of recently published AP models. Methods/findings Using validated search strategy, identified studies from databases MEDLINE EMBASE between January 2021 December 2023. We also searched pre-print servers medRxiv, bioRxiv, arXiv pre-prints registered Eligibility criteria included all retrospective or prospective that developed new existing patients predicted an outcome following episode Meta-analysis was considered if there homogeneity design type predicted.

Insufficient patient accrual is a major challenge in clinical trials and can result underpowered studies, as well exposing study participants to toxicity additional costs, with limited scientific benefit. Real-world data provide external controls, but insufficient affects all arms of study, not just controls. Studies that used generative models simulate more patients were the scenarios considered, replicability criteria, number models, evaluated. This aimed perform comprehensive evaluation on extent be compensate for trials. We performed retrospective analysis using 10 datasets from 9 fully accrued, completed, published cancer For each trial, we removed latest recruited (from 10% 50%), trained model remaining patients, simulated replace ones augment available data. then replicated this augmented dataset determine if findings remained same.

We live in interesting regulatory times. In January, a bill was introduced to the US Congress proposing that AI "can qualify as practitioner eligible prescribe drugs" if overseen by States and FDA. This bold contentious move. Even proponents of AI's swift integration into medicine must recognize deep paradox: this proposal emerges even FDA's world-leading infrastructure for oversight faces dismantling.

One in ten neonates are admitted to neonatal intensive care units, highlighting the need for precise interventions. However, application of artificial intelligence (AI) guiding remains underexplored. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a life-saving treatment preterm neonates; however, implementation therapy its current form subjective, error-prone and resource-consuming. Here, we developed TPN2.0—a data-driven approach that optimizes standardizes TPN using information collected routinely electronic health records. We assembled decade compositions (79,790 orders; 5,913 patients) at Stanford train TPN2.0. In addition internal validation, also validated our model an external cohort (63,273 3,417 from second hospital. Our algorithm identified 15 formulas can enable precision-medicine (Pearson's R = 0.94 compared experts), increasing safety potentially reducing cost. A blinded study (n 192) revealed physicians rated TPN2.0 higher than best practice. patients with high disagreement between actual prescriptions TPN2.0, standard were associated increased morbidities (for example, odds ratio 3.33; P value 0.0007 necrotizing enterocolitis), while recommendations linked reduced risk.
