The US leads the world in biomedical innovation, with about 40% of patents being filed by US scientists and companies. The FDA plays a critical role in supporting and enabling this innovation pipeline and our guest Dr. Robert Califf was commissioner of the agency not once, but twice under Presidents Obama and Biden. He joins us to talk about what Americans should know about FDA's critical role and the threats to its functioning from the dramatic cuts the Trump administration has made over the last three months.We discuss:The broad sweep of FDA's purview from drugs and medical devices to cosmetics, food, tobacco and dog foodConcern that the FDA is now “decapitated and eviscerated” from the massive and multiple rounds of dismissalsWhile most industries want less regulation, the pharma industry wants more information and guidance from the FDACaliff has been affiliated with Duke for 50 of its 100 years, but a part of his heart is still with ClemsonWhat would Califf's “Make America Healthy Again” agenda be?“We need to develop reliable, repetitive sources of information that help people do things that are healthy and beneficial. That part of MAHA I like a lot…The second thing is… I'm developing connections with people who are thinking differently about primary care because I think everybody agrees there's no way you can take the current workforce and deliver what's needed. So it's got to be linked up with AI and digital technologies, but also with a very different looking workforce that gets paid differently, has more respect.”Relevant LinksRead Califf's WSJ opinion letter: “Work with the Bureaucracy, Not Against It”Peter Marks' resignation letter NYT article on the impact of FDA layoffsCaliff's “Public Health on Call” podcast episode on the state of the FDA Opinion article from 7 previous FDA commissioners on how recent changes are undermining credibility of the FDAAbout Our GuestRobert M.

Am 13. und 14. Oktober findet in Berlin wieder die wichtigste jährliche Konferenz zum Thema „Globale Gesundheitspolitik“ nach der Weltgesundheitsversammlung der WHO statt, der „Weltgesundheitsgipfel“. Er wird großteils von Pharma- und IT-Firmen und deren Stiftungen finanziert. Dieses Jahr geht es darum, das zerstörte Vertrauen in Pharmabranche, WHO und Regierungen wiederherzustellen, durch Ausforschung und Manipulation der Meinungsbildung in den sozialen Medien mit militärisch-geheimdienstlichen Mitteln, und darum, den WHO-Pandemievertrag in trockene Tücher zu bekommen.Ein Kommentar von Norbert Häring.Hauptsponsoren des Massenauftriebs mit mehreren Tausend Teilnehmern sind in diesem Jahr das Amazon-Cloud-Unternehmen AWS, die Stiftung des Microsoft-Gründers Bill Gates und seiner Ex-Frau, die von dieser mitfinanzierte Impf-Initiative Cepi, die Pharmastiftung Wellcome Trust, Siemens Healthineers, die Charité und das Bundesgesundheitsministerium. Etwas weniger tragen bei die Rockefeller-Stiftung, die EU und zwei UN-Organisationen. Dann kommen noch die anderen üblichen Verdächtigen aus der Pharma und IT-Branche: Pfizer, Bayer, Sanofi, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Fresenious, Google Health, Daiichi Sankyo, Novo Nordisk. Es sind im wesentlichen die gleichen Sponsoren wie letztes Jahr.Das letztjährige Treffen brachte Aussagen, die tief blicken ließen. So schlug Charité-Virologe Drosten vor, im Pandemiefall Listen von verlässlichen Wissenschaftlern zu erstellen, die sich zum Stand der Wissenschaft äußern dürfen. Die (fehlende) Wirksamkeit und die (vielen) Nebenwirkungen der Covid-Impfstoffe sind, nach dem „Gipfeltreffen“ zu urteilen, kein interessantes Thema für globale und deutsche Gesundheitspolitiker. Und die massive Zunahme psychischer Erkrankungen von Jugendlichen rührt angeblich nicht von den Lockdowns und der regierungsseitig verfolgten Angststrategie her, sondern vom Klimawandel.Der Ursprung des Weltgesundheitsgipfels scheint – wie berichtet (Nachtrag) – auf eine Initiative der Großkonzerne-Lobby Weltwirtschaftsforum zurückzugehen, das in den ersten Jahren Mitveranstalter und Sponsor war, bevor es das Feld seinen zahlungskräftigen Mitgliedern aus der Pharma- und IT-Branche überließ...... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/berlin-laedt-zum-globalen-gesundheitsgipfel-der-meinungsmanipulatoren-von-norbert-haering+++Dieser Beitrag erschien zuerst am 04.

Dana Brown, iCAD's president, chairman and CEO, shares how the company is changing the way we think about breast cancer detection. Brown gives us an update on the partnership with Google. Plus, she talks about her time at Susan G. Komen and how cancer detection has changed throughout the years. She also gives some tips for aspiring medtech professionals in this new episode of Let's Talk Medtech.Omar : How are you?Dana: Great. Thanks for having me.Omar: I'm doing well, just a bit sleep-deprived with a newborn at home, but otherwise, all good.Dana: Congratulations.Dana: Thank you. So, Dana, it's been over a year since you took the reins at iCAD. How has the journey been so far?Dana: Better than I expected, honestly. I joined ICAD's board over two years ago, initially thinking it was my dream role. But I saw an opportunity to contribute more directly given my background in cloud technologies and breast health. Jumping in has been fantastic—the team is great, and seeing our solutions in action, not just on paper, has been incredibly rewarding.Omar: That's wonderful to hear. Before we dive into iCAD, let's talk about your time at Susan G. Komen. Can you share about your role there?Dana: Sure, at Susan G. Komen, I served as the chief strategic and operations officer for nearly five years. My focus was enhancing direct patient engagement, ensuring initiatives like helplines, financial aid, and support resources were impactful and accessible. It was about making sure Komen's efforts directly benefited patients throughout their breast cancer journey.Omar: How have your experiences at Komen influenced your approach at iCAD?Dana: Three main takeaways: continuous learning, particularly in management and collaboration; leveraging technology like EMRs and research registries to enhance patient care; and fostering a culture of innovation, crucial for developing effective solutions in breast health.Omar: It sounds like a wealth of knowledge to bring to iCAD. Speaking of which, let's touch on iCAD's use of AI in breast cancer detection. How is AI reshaping mammography?Dana: AI has revolutionized mammography by enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Unlike human eyes, AI processes data at a granular level, making it a reliable second opinion for radiologists. Beyond cancer detection, we're exploring applications like detecting breast arterial calcification, offering a more holistic view of a patient's health.Omar: That's impressive—AI as a precision tool in healthcare. Is it making mammogram results more understandable for patients?Dana: Currently, AI primarily aids clinicians by providing trusted decision support. However, patients are becoming aware of AI's role and its potential to offer them clearer, faster insights into their health—a promising development we're exploring further.Omar: Moving forward, iCAD has partnered with Google Health. What can you tell us about this collaboration?Dana: Our collaboration with Google Health spans two key initiatives: integrating our technology into Google's cloud infrastructure for seamless healthcare operations, and jointly developing advanced AI algorithms. This includes creating an AI-powered second reader for mammograms, aiming to streamline diagnosis and reduce turnaround times, addressing the shortage of radiologists globally.Omar: That's a significant step forward in leveraging technology for healthcare efficiency. While we await regulatory clearances, how do you see AI influencing patient care in the future?Dana: AI is empowering patients with knowledge and enabling more informed healthcare decisions. It's part of a broader trend towards patient empowerment, where individuals actively engage in their health management—a positive shift we're committed to advancing at ICAD.Omar: Your...

Additionally people view YouTube videos about health conditions 100 billion times globally in a year. As consumers seek information ubiquity in their online experience, health information will also become more personalized through wearables and other mobile devices. Our future in health will also be enabled by AI. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform the health of people on a planetary scale akin to the discovery of penicillin.  If developed boldly and responsibly, AI will be a powerful for health equity on a global scale.  It will also bring the joy back to practicing medicine by reducing cognitive burden and giving providers more time to spend with patient. In this week's episode, we explore health tech consumerism and AI enablement with Dr. Karen DeSalvo, Chief Health Officer at Google. Dr. DeSalvo is an internist and health leader working at the intersection of medicine, public health, and information technology.  She has dedicated her career to improving health outcomes for all with a focus on solutions that address all the determinants of health.  Dr. DeSalvo continues to be a powerful voice and advocate for eliminating inequities and improving the public's health.  Under her watch, Google has optimized search and YouTube to better answer common health questions, updated its consumer health wearables to function more like medical devices and built artificial intelligence products to meet industry demands. This episode covers various topics in the realm of healthcare technology innovation from consumerism, Generative AI and LLMs, health equity by design, and various initiatives underway at Google to connect and bring meaning to health information. In the interview, we also discuss the role of technology in mitigating the health impacts of climate change and addressing the epidemic of loneliness and isolation at a global level.   Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Karen DeSalvo, Chief Health Officer at Google. 03:30 How Google understands “information as a determinant of health.” 05:00 “We see heavy consumer orientation to the way we see our opportunity to improve the health of everyone everywhere.” 05:30 The evolution of healthcare businesses to meet people in an increasingly virtual world with ever-changing consumer expectations. 06:00 Informing health empowerment through high quality information and personalized insights. 06:30 Personal reflections from clinical practice when the flow of information was not enabled by technology automation. 07:30 Modern-day tools for patient education and personal health tracking and measurement. 08:00 The optimization of Google search results to convey trust in the provision of health information. 08:30 “The conveyance of information through trusted messengers is an important way we address information as a determinant of health.” 09:00 Patients showing up with more knowledge and power – a priority goal for Google Health. 09:30 How AI can improve health for everyone everywhere. (Karen's recent blog on the future of AI as a transformational path forward in population health.) 10:00 Leveraging AI at Google Health to advance medical research, improve accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic processes, and improve health information quality. 11:00 A future world were everyone has access to the best quality care on their phone (e.g. AI-enabled health agents combined with the human care team). 12:00 Developing health technology for the entire world. (“A billion people on the planet don't have access to primary care.”) 12:15 AI can address workforce challenges by reducing cognitive load to address burnout and filling capability and capacity gaps.

Today, we're excited to get to know Dr. Michael Howell. He's the Chief Clinical Officer at Google where he leads the team of clinical experts providing guidance for Google Health products, research and services. He has dedicated his career to improving the quality, safety and science of how care is delivered and helping people get the best information across their health journey. He previously served as the Chief Quality Officer at the University of Chicago and was an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. He's published more than 100 research articles, editorials, and book chapters and is a nationally recognized expert on patient safety and quality. In this episode, we talked about why Google got into healthcare, Google's 3Cs for health, how to create a clinical team within a tech company, the implications of artificial intelligence, and advice for founders in the AI/LLM space. 

Dr. David Feinberg was CEO of Geisinger and UCLA Health, then led Google Health before becoming CEO of Cerner. For the past year he's been Chairman of Oracle Health. So, it's safe to say he knows a thing or two about healthcare IT!Dr. Feinberg joins  the show to discuss interoperability, AI, health equity, and much more!

In this week's episode, Susan shares how she went from being a geriatric doctor to becoming a partner at EY to now leading the Google Health team in the UK!   Topics discussed:

Throughout the fourth season of Theory and Practice, we explored emerging human-like artificial intelligence and robots. We asked if we could learn as much about ourselves as we do about the machines we use. The series has covered safety guardrails for AI, empathic AI communication, communication between minds and machines, robotic surgery, computers that smell, and using AI to understand human vision. The most recent episode with Google DeepMind's Dr. Clément Farabet illuminates how computers might demonstrate understanding and reasoning on par with humans. In the final episode, we reflect on investing in artificial intelligence's future with the leader of GV's Digital Investing Team, Dave Munichiello, who has a long-standing history with AI and robotics. Dave was an early technologist at Kiva Systems, purchased by Amazon and ultimately becoming Amazon Robotics. Over the past decade-plus at GV, Dave has been leading investments across two major categories: Platforms Empowering Developers (GitLab, Segment, Slack, RedPanda, etc) and Platforms Powering AI Systems (Determined, Modular, SambaNova, Snorkel AI, etc), along with others. Dave's first AI investment, Lattice (bought by Apple's Siri team) was seven years before the hype of generative AI. We asked, from a seasoned AI investor's perspective, where does AI hold the most promise? To answer this, Dave returns to the themes we've investigated over the last eight weeks — including AI trust and safety, which Google Health's Greg Corrado raised in the first episode. Together, we explore how AI will change how we work, the nature of jobs, and how an investing team with a culture focused on having more questions than answers is well positioned for AI's future.Dave rounds out the discussion with a picture of how artificial intelligence, with real-life use cases, will move research lab theory to real-world practice. He also walks us through his hopes for AI, including a world where humans and computers exist as co-pilots.Ultimately, Dave shares an optimistic and rational view of AI's future. “AI has the potential to democratize the very creation of technology," he reflects. "With AI-assistance, folks across the country will no longer need to rely on software programmers to solve everyday digital problems – they'll be able to create these tools themselves. That is incredibly exciting, and I'm honored to be a part of that journey."

Tune in for today's industry updates.

He also discusses developing and maintaining datasets reflecting real-world patient realities and values. Following this conversation, Anthony and Alex discuss Brian Christian's book “The Most Human Human.”

I am privileged to have lived an unordinary life. No one asks to get sick, yet here we are, drafted into a life born of our condition, fueled by the right amount of rage and disappointment, and motivated to do our best to plug the holes in the dam that we can.From fixing Macs in the 1990s at Omnicom, giving piano concerts for the American Cancer Society, sitting on the Advisory Board of Google Health, volunteering for the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, kicking off Health2.0, and moonlighting with Stand Up To Cancer, to founding Stupid Cancer, hosting The Stupid Cancer Show, producing the OMG! Cancer Summit and CancerCon, and reinventing myself with #OutOfPatients and OffScrip Health, it's been a very "Forrest Gump-ish" ride.Hearing "Write a book!" was a near-weekly suggestion throughout those years, yet I never felt it was the right time. The shelves in my office at Stupid Cancer featured hundreds of books, wall-to-wall. Human lives put to paper, some of whom are no longer with us.Well, now it's time – and it's official.For the past year, I've been in a stealth mode partnership with award-winning collaborative writer Debra Ollivier to create an extraordinary—and wholly original—book proposal. Together, with representation by literary agent Amanda Annis, at Trident Media Group, I am ecstatic to announce that "Permission To Be Pissed: A Practical Field Guide To American Healthcare" sold to Mayo Clinic Press.Note: This is not a memoir.Like "The Cancer Mavericks: A History of Survivorship," my book will tell the story of American Healthcare as it pertains to history, activism, progress, and how ordinary citizens can change the world one act at a time. Stories of those upon whose shoulders I stand, as well as today's advocates working on behalf of one patient or one million.A comedy book at its core, coupled with some "Dummies" ethos, and brainless explainers, I envision a world where it lives in the back pocket of every American who has been screwed by healthcare or is hoping not to get screwed in advance.It is time to stop depending on the industry to bend toward justice. It is time for all Americans to know all of the secret tips, tricks, and hacks hiding in plain sight and for the unsilent minority of patient advocates to have our voices and our stories heard by Millions of Americans.Stay tuned.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
