I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Accessibility to modern diabetes technology directly correlates with A1c among children with type 1 diabetes globally. Big, cross-sectional study, conducted in 81 pediatric diabetes centers in 56 countries, found that a greater extent of reimbursement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, glucose meters, and insulin was associated with lower A1c levels. Partha S. Kar, MD, Type 1 Diabetes & Technology lead of the National Health Service England, told Medscape Medical News, “As is now being shown in countries such as UK with widespread uptake of technology, there is now population-wide shift in A1c not seen before.” He added, “If policymakers are serious about bringing A1c at a population level to sub-7.5% - 8% levels, then without technology it would be incredibly difficult to achieve, in my experience and opinion. Leaving the median A1c of a population at above 7.5%-8% goes with complications so that's a decision regarding investment many will have to make in the near future.” In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth R. Seaquist, MD, professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism and co-director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, called it “striking” that access to technology in and of itself was associated with improved glycemic control, given that multidisciplinary team care is also needed to provide education and behavioral or psychological support. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-access-linked-a1c-kids-t1d-globally-2025a1000nn6 XX A man with type 1 in Illinois has received the first FDA-approved islet-cell replacement treatment, Lantidra, and he is now producing his own insulin. The treatment works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections. The FDA approved Lantidra (donislecel) in 2023. Lantidra uses donor cells and requires lifelong immunosuppressive drugs. Lantidra is only available at University of Illinois Chicago Health. Other universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania, continue to do islet cell transplants as part of clinical trials. Early data has shown that a majority of participants in the Lantidra clinical study were able to achieve some level of insulin independence, but it's unclear whether the benefits of donislecel outweigh the treatment's safety risks. Nearly 87 percent of participants reported infection-related adverse events, and post-operation complications included liver lacerations, bruising of the liver (hepatic hematoma), and anemia. One patient died of multi-organ failure from sepsis, which Lantidra maker CellTrans stated was “probably related” to the use of either immunosuppression or study drugs. In addition, some industry leaders have raised the question of whether it's ethical to commercialize the use of deceased donor islet cells. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/first-fda-approved-islet-cell-transplant-performed?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=later XX Patients in the U.S. now have access to the first generic GLP-1 treatment approved for weight loss as Teva has launched its copycat of Novo Nordisk's injected Saxenda (liraglutide). The compound, which is a GLP-1 forerunner of Novo's semaglutide products Ozempic and Wegovy, has been approved by the FDA to treat adults with obesity and those who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems. Saxenda also is endorsed for pediatric patients ages 12 through 17 who are obese and weigh at least 60 kg (132 pounds). The treatment is for both triggering and maintaining weight loss. Saxenda is not the first GLP-1 drug that is available as a generic. In June of last year, Teva also was the first company to launch a knockoff version of Novo's Victoza, which is the same compound as Saxenda but has been approved only for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Sales of the branded versions of both Victoza and Saxenda have declined significantly in recent years as demand for Novo's semaglutide and Eli Lilly's tirzepatide products have skyrocketed. In addition, marketers of compounded products have been aggressively competing for market share in the GLP-1 space. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/saxenda-knockoff-teva-launches-first-generic-glp-1-obesity XX Metformin could cut the risk of Long COVID by 64% in overweight or obese adults who started the drug within 90 days of infection. The large observational study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, analysed health records of over 624,000 UK adults with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2023. Among these, nearly 3,000 patients who began metformin treatment soon after diagnosis were tracked for a year. Compared to non-users, their likelihood of developing Long COVID, defined as persistent symptoms 90 days or more after infection, was dramatically lower. https://www.ndtv.com/health/metformin-cuts-risk-of-long-covid-by-64-why-the-diabetes-pill-is-not-for-everyone-9242332 XX Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, so they don't know they have it, according to data analysis published Monday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The study looked at data from 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2023 in a systematic review of published literature and surveys. “The majority of people with diabetes that we report on in the study have type 2 diabetes,” said Lauryn Stafford , the lead author of the study. “We found that 56% of people with diabetes are aware that they have the condition,” said Stafford, a researcher for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “Globally, there's a lot of variation geographically, and also by age. So, generally, higher-income countries were doing better at diagnosing people than low- and middle-income countries.” People under 35 years were much less likely to be diagnosed if they had diabetes than people in middle age or older. Just “20% of young adults with diabetes were aware of their condition,” Stafford said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/health/diabetes-undiagnosed-half-of-americans-wellness XX A team of Hong Kong scientists is developing an injectable treatment that could potentially improve blood flow in diabetes patients' feet, in the hopes that it will reduce the need for amputation by rebuilding tissue in the arteries. They also hope to apply the treatment to peripheral artery disease or PAD, a condition caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that affect blood circulation in the feet. “Traditional treatments for people suffering from poor blood flow in their legs are stent implantation or bypass surgery, which is invasive,” said Wong, who is also the co-founder of a biotechnology company called NutrigeneAI. He said it was his dream to turn research in the academic field into actual clinical treatments. But he added that the team still needed three to four years for further research on the treatment. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3324671/hong-kong-scientists-developing-new-blood-flow-treatment-aid-diabetes-patients XX Tandem Diabetes announces Health Canada authorization for distribution of the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone, and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 The app is expected to be available later this year. The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025. Once available, Tandem will email eligible customers with instructions on how to download and use the app. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250904665715/en/Tandem-tslim-Mobile-App-Now-Authorized-by-Health-Canada-for-iPhone-and-Android-Phones XX Some changes to how the Eversense CGM will be rolled out.. right now it's being distributed by Ascensia Diabetes Care. Senseonics will take back commercial control of the year long implantable CGM on January 1 in the US and expanding worldwide throughout 2026. The change was a mutual decision, according to the two companies, which said they have signed a memorandum of understanding before a definitive agreement is hammered out by the end of the year. To get started, Senseonics is also set to acquire members of Ascensia's commercial staff—including its CGM president, Brian Hansen, who is slated to become Senseonics' new chief commercial officer. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/senseonics-retake-eversense-cgm-commercial-control-ascensia-diabetes-care XX Utrecht-based medical device company ViCentra has closed an $85 million Series D round of funding led by Innovation Industries, along with existing investors Partners in Equity and Invest-NL. The round also drew support from EQT Life Sciences and Health Innovations. The recent capital injection will be used to expand ViCentra's manufacturing capabilities, support regulatory approvals, and strengthen commercial rollout across Europe. The funds will also be used to launch the next-generation Kaleido 2 patch pump in Europe and prepare for entry into the U.S. market. The global insulin delivery market is growing quickly due to the increasing number of diabetes cases and demand for effective and user-friendly solutions. The market for insulin pumps is projected to exceed $14 billion by 2034. Patch pumps are the fastest-growing segment, signalling a trend toward compact and wearable devices. And here's where ViCentra is positioned to meet this need, offering a user-friendly, sleek design-led alternative to traditional systems. Kaleido: design-led insulin delivery Kaleido is the smallest and lightest insulin patch pump developed as a lifestyle product with a particular focus on usability and personalisation. Designed to feel more like personal technology than a traditional medical device, Kaleido features premium materials, and users can select their own favourite aluminium shells from a range of ten preset colour options. It integrates with Diabeloop's hybrid closed-loop algorithms (DBLG1 and DBLG2) and is compatible with Dexcom CGM sensors, positioning it within the next generation of automated insulin delivery systems. “Kaleido is a true disruptor — small, discreet, featherlight, and beautifully designed. It empowers people with diabetes by offering a more personal and distinctive choice in both function and style. Built with empathy and precision, it honours those who live with diabetes every day. With this funding, we can now meet surging European demand and fast-track our entry into the U.S. market. This is a pivotal moment — for ViCentra, and for the community we serve,” said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer at ViCentra. Improving the quality of life for diabetic patients ViCentra, led by Tom Arnold, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with diabetes. The company reported that demand for Kaleido in Germany, France, and the Netherlands has already exceeded initial expectations. ViCentra will present updates on Kaleido at the 61st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), taking place September 15–19, 2025, in Vienna. The company plans to engage with clinicians, investors, and strategic partners to further its role in the evolving diabetes care landscape. “ViCentra is redefining insulin pump therapy with a platform that truly centres the user experience – combining clinical performance with design simplicity and wearability,” commented Caaj Greebe, Partner at Innovation Industries. “At Innovation Industries, we invest in pioneering companies that blend world-class technology with clear commercial potential. ViCentra exemplifies this by delivering a next-generation system addressing the urgent need for better treatment options in diabetes care. We're proud to lead this investment round and partner with Tom and the team as they deepen and expand their presence in Europe and prepare for U.S. entry.” https://techfundingnews.com/dutch-vicentra-secures-85m-to-bring-insulin-patch-pump-to-more-markets/ XX Luna Diabetes announces they've raised more than 23-million dollars in early venture capital to help continue clinical trials and build out its capacity. This is the company that wants to offer a night time only, tiny, temporary insulin pump – to supplement insulin pen use. According to the company, more than 80% of the improvements in blood sugar from automated insulin delivery systems occur while the user is sleeping. Luna launched a pivotal trial late last year. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nighttime-insulin-patch-pump-maker-luna-diabetes-raises-236m XX Following 15 days and 150 fingerpricks, they're here. The results of the “9 sensor samba“. And what a set of a results… Well maybe that's overplaying it a little. Let's just say that the outcome of this n=1 experiment wasn't quite what I expected. One of the established players came out much worse than expected, while a newcomer did a lot better. Let's dig in, and take a look at the variation. https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/the-nine-sensor-samba-results-revealed/ XX Hard work and perseverance define ranch life, but one man in eastern Montana takes it to another level. At 90, he's still living independently on the ranch he built from the ground up. Even more remarkable? He's a type 1 diabetic. Bob Delp still begins each day just like he did decades ago, waking up on his ranch near Richey, Montana. “I always thought if I could ever get a ranch and run a hundred cows, that's what I wanted to do from the time I was a kid,” said Delp. He made that dream real, the hard way; after coming home from the army, he taught school, hayed for seven cents a bale and saved every cent he could. “I worked at it real hard because I always felt like it was going to be part of getting me to that ranch that I always wanted,” said Delp. He did it all while managing type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis that came with few answers and little hope back in the 1950s. “The doctors tell me being a type 1 diabetic for 66 years isn't supposed to happen. Back then, it was a real challenge,” added Delp. Statistically, it's almost unheard of. Fewer than 90 people in the world have lived more than 70 years with type 1 diabetes. Bob credits his late wife, Donna, for helping him beat the odds. “She has been key in that I always ate on time.” They've faced their share of storms, both in health and out on the land. Not long after moving to Richey, a heavy snowstorm nearly tore everything apart just after they'd stepped out for dinner. “If Donna hadn't said it was time to eat, we wouldn't have made it out of there. I guess that's one time that made me happy to have diabetes. And I think that saved us,” said Delp. Now, he still checks his blood sugar daily but trusts his hands more than high-tech insulin pumps. “I'm not satisfied with the sensors they have today. I just don't think they're accurate.” To many, Bob's survival is extraordinary. To him, it's luck. “The genes are there already, I can't change that so I guess I would have to say just lots of good luck,” said Delp. And through it all, optimism has been his compass. “You might fumble the ball, but if you're determined to be a winner, you'll recover that fumble someday,” said Delp. He still welds nearly every day. Not because he has to, but because it keeps him going. “As long as I keep doing something like this, I will not be in the nursing home,” said Delp. https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/08/09/against-all-odds-montana-man-thrives-with-type-1-diabetes-90/ XX Today, Dexcom is building on this belief and breaking new ground with the launch of its first open call across the U.S. and Canada in search of the next diabetes advocates—giving people with all types of diabetes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise awareness and share their voice on a global scale in the company's World Diabetes Day campaign (Nov. 14) and beyond.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. Novo Nordisk's drug Wegovy has successfully reduced cardiovascular risk by 57% compared to tirzepatide. Eli Lilly has terminated two mid-stage trials for a second obesity asset, while Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Enlaza Therapeutics have formed a potential $2 billion partnership to develop drugs for autoimmune diseases. Biogen and Eisai have received FDA approval for the subcutaneous maintenance formulation of Leqvembi. Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals has secured a commitment of up to $2 billion from Novartis for an siRNA Parkinson's program. The FDA's new radiopharma guidance is expected to accelerate the space, and Teva has launched the first generic version of Novo Nordisk's obesity drug Saxenda. The pharmaceutical industry is navigating uncertainty during turbulent times, with companies focusing on innovation and new partnerships to drive progress.The FDA has issued new radiopharma guidance, which former FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn believes is crucial for cancer therapy. Despite recent investments in radiopharmaceutical therapeutics by big pharma, the FDA's approval of updated COVID-19 vaccines with restrictions contradicts the medical freedom promised by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Rare diseases secured four FDA firsts in August, including a win for Novo Nordisk's glp-1 drug WeGovy. Investment in new ALS therapies signals progress after setbacks, with new biotechs and collaborative initiatives showing promise at Bio2025. Other news includes the closure of Appia, Senate summons of Kennedy, updates on COVID-19 vaccines, and Lilly's obesity pill heading to the FDA. Thank you for listening to Pharma and Biotech daily.
Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to testify before the Senate Finance Committee on September 4. This comes after the removal of CDC Director Susan Monarez and the appointment of HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill as her interim replacement. Kennedy, along with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and CBER Director Vinay Prasad, had previously been vocal against vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, citing concerns about limiting medical choice. However, the FDA, under their leadership, has now approved updated COVID-19 vaccines with restrictions that go against this stance.RFK's vaccine restrictions are being viewed as restricting promised medical freedom. The FDA recently gave the green light to updated COVID-19 shots from Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax but with certain limitations. This news comes as Teva introduces the first GLP-1 generic for obesity to the market, and J&J discontinues its rheumatoid arthritis program after disappointing mid-stage data. Kennedy's upcoming testimony highlights the ongoing turmoil within CDC leadership and raises questions about the conflicting messages surrounding vaccine mandates and medical freedom.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! In this episode, Raj Malhotra explains why the recent rally in the S&P 500 could still have legs, potentially reaching 7100+ by next May if history repeats. But the key, he argues, is breadth: a broad-based rally across sectors, not just large-cap tech. Raj highlights the RSP equal-weight ETF as the signal to watch and spotlights Deckers Outdoor (DECK)—parent of HOKA, UGG, and Teva—as a beaten-down small/mid-cap with strong fundamentals, margin expansion, and international growth. He outlines a calendar spread trade with asymmetric upside if DECK rallies as the market broadens.

If you're looking for a podcast episode that moves beyond surface-level talk and gets into the heart of why environmental justice matters, this episode of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast is worth your time.Host Rachel Keener sits down with Leah Thomas — known to many as Green Girl — an environmental activist and the voice behind the term intersectional environmentalist. Leah opens up about her path from growing up in Missouri to becoming a leading voice in the sustainability space, tracing how something as personal as her natural hair journey first got her thinking about what sustainability really means.But this isn't just about recycling or climate stats. Leah draws powerful connections between environmental issues and social and racial justice, explaining why true sustainability has to include communities that have long been left out of the conversation — especially Black communities. She shares how she builds spaces of care and creativity, like her Crafting Club, where people can come together, learn to make everyday items, and support one another.This episode doesn't fall into the trap of focusing only on crisis and catastrophe. Instead, Leah talks about the joy and healing that can come from reconnecting with the earth, caring for our mental health, and building community-based solutions. It's a conversation that offers hope without ignoring hard truths — and a reminder that the future can look different if we all understand and honor our connection to the planet.If you want to feel inspired and grounded at the same time, give this episode a listen.More about Leah Thomas @GreenGirlLeah:Leah is a celebrated environmentalist based in Los Angeles, CA. Coining the term ‘eco-communicator' to describe her style of environmental activism. Leah uses her passion for writing and creativity to explore and advocate for the critical yet often overlooked relationship between social justice and environmentalism. Her work includes consulting with brands like Apple and TAZO, projects with Meta, KEEN, TEVA, Indie Best Selling Book The Intersectional Environmentalist, and working on the Communications team at Patagonia HQ.

This Day in Legal History: Patent Act of 1790On April 10, 1790, the United States passed its first patent law, the Patent Act of 1790, laying the groundwork for a legal framework that would protect inventors and promote innovation. This early legislation granted inventors the exclusive right to their discoveries for a period of 14 years, provided the invention was deemed "useful and important." It was signed into law by President George Washington and represented one of the earliest legal efforts by the new republic to encourage economic growth through technological advancement. The law established a board composed of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Attorney General, who were tasked with reviewing patent applications and deciding whether to approve them.Notably, the law gave the federal government broad discretion over what could be patented and required that a patent be granted only if the invention was new and useful. The first U.S. patent under this act was issued on July 31, 1790, to Samuel Hopkins for a process of making potash, a key industrial chemical. Although modest in scope, the law was revolutionary in its recognition of intellectual property as a public good worth safeguarding. It helped move the United States toward a more structured innovation economy, setting a precedent that influenced global norms on patent protection.The 1790 law was replaced just three years later by the Patent Act of 1793, which shifted the review process to a more administrative function, but the foundational principle—that inventors should have exclusive rights to their creations—remained intact. This early commitment to fostering invention through legal means helped spur the rapid technological growth that would define American industry in the 19th century and beyond. The act exemplified how the law could be used to incentivize creativity and economic development at a national scale.Bristol Myers Squibb successfully got a proposed class action lawsuit dismissed that had accused it of using fraudulent tactics to maintain a monopoly over its cancer drug, Pomalyst. The suit, led by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, claimed that Bristol Myers and its subsidiary Celgene illegally secured patents and filed sham lawsuits to delay the entry of generic versions of Pomalyst, which is used to treat multiple myeloma. However, U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos ruled that the plaintiffs failed to prove that any of the six patents were obtained through fraud. He also found no evidence that the nine lawsuits Celgene filed between 2017 and 2020 against generic manufacturers like Teva and Mylan were baseless or intended to secure fraudulent settlements.The plaintiffs alleged that they had been overpaying for the drug since October 2020, the point at which generics could have entered the market if not for the alleged conduct. Pomalyst brought in $3.55 billion in sales in 2024, accounting for more than 7% of Bristol Myers' revenue. Celgene originally developed the drug, and Bristol Myers acquired the company in 2019. The case was heard in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.Bristol Myers wins dismissal of lawsuit alleging Pomalyst monopoly | ReutersThe Trump administration has frozen over $1 billion in federal funding for Cornell University and $790 million for Northwestern University amid investigations into alleged civil rights violations. The freeze affects grants and contracts from several federal agencies, including health, education, agriculture, and defense. This move is part of a broader crackdown targeting universities over pro-Palestinian campus protests, diversity programs, and transgender policies. The administration previously warned 60 universities, including Cornell and Northwestern, about potential enforcement if they failed to address what it labeled as antisemitism.Cornell confirmed it received “stop work” orders from the defense department affecting research projects but said it hasn't been formally notified of the total funding freeze. Northwestern similarly acknowledged awareness of media reports but stated it hadn't received official notice. The university emphasized the freeze could endanger critical research, including projects on cybersecurity, pacemakers, and Alzheimer's treatment.This action follows similar measures taken against Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania. Columbia, which lost $400 million in funding, later agreed to administrative changes in exchange for potential reinstatement. Federal agents have also begun detaining and deporting some foreign student protesters, revoking visas in the process. Critics, including human rights groups, have voiced concerns over free speech, academic freedom, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab discrimination amid the escalating response to pro-Palestinian activism on campuses.US freezes funding for Cornell, Northwestern University in latest crackdownPresident Trump has issued a new executive order aimed at blocking state-level climate policies that seek to reduce fossil fuel use and limit carbon emissions. The directive instructs the U.S. attorney general to identify and challenge state laws related to climate change, environmental justice, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) standards, and carbon regulation. The move aligns with Trump's broader agenda to boost domestic fossil fuel production and roll back Democratic-led environmental initiatives.The order specifically targets policies in states like New York, Vermont, and California, including financial penalties on fossil fuel companies, California's cap-and-trade system, and climate-related lawsuits brought by state governments. Trump described these measures as ideologically driven and harmful to national energy and economic security.Governors Kathy Hochul (NY) and Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM), co-chairs of the U.S. Climate Alliance, condemned the order, asserting states' rights to enact environmental protections. They reaffirmed their commitment to clean energy and climate resilience. The American Petroleum Institute supported Trump's move, framing it as a defense against unconstitutional state actions that burden oil and gas companies.Trump issues order to block state climate change policies | Reuters This is a public episode.

You cannot get a patent if your invention is obvious. This can be tricky to determine for biotech and pharmaceutical patents. There are competing standards for how this is determined. One is the "reasonable expectation of success" standard, which is a lower threshold than the "predictable results" standard. The Supreme Court refused to hear a case that would have settled this, so we're left with the Federal Circuit's ruling in the case of Vanda Pharmaceuticals vs. Teva Pharmaceuticals. Listen to this episode to learn how these tests can give different results for patentability and what it means for the future biotech and drug patents!
Creatives often feel tension between honoring what a brand wants and respecting the authentic story of a person or community. How can you do both? Sabrina Claros is a photographer, videographer, and creative director based in LA, creating stories at the intersection of adventure, environmentalism, and outdoor equity. Her work aims to create change and inspire more people to connect with the outdoors and feel called to protect our natural resources, while reducing barriers to who has access in outdoor spaces. Sabrina has worked with brands such as Teva, Tough Cutie, Bedrock Sandals, and many others. Her media work is largely informed by a background in social work, and continues to be grounded in grassroots community work. We chat about: Sabrina's move from social work to outdoor industry media How essential community is to staying resilient when facing challenges The challenges of outsiders sharing the stories of underrepresented communities Balancing authentic storytelling with a brand's needs Cold pitching and specificity The need for a creative network to amplify diverse voices Keeping the creative process fulfilling even when it's for work Connect with Sabrina: www.sabrinaclaros.com www.instagram.com/sabrinaclarosphotography Connect with Justine: Website: https://www.justawildthought.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justawildthought Was this episode helpful?

Surrogate decision making has some issues. Surrogates often either don't know what patients would want, or think they know but are wrong, or make choices that align with their own preferences rather than the patients. After making decisions, many surrogates experience regret, PTSD, and depressive symptoms. Can we do better? Or, to phrase the question for 2024, “Can AI do better?” Follow that path and you arrive at a potentially terrifying scenario: using AI for surrogate decision making. What?!? When Teva Brender and Brian Block first approached me about writing a thought piece about this idea, my initial response was, “Hell no.” You may be thinking the same. But…stay with us here…might AI help to address some of the major issues present in surrogate decision making? Or does it raise more issues than it solves? Today we talk with Teva, Dave Wendler, and Jenny Blumenthal-Barby about: Current clinical and ethical issues with surrogate decision making The Patient Preferences Predictor (developed by Dave Wendler) or Personalized Patient Preferences Predictor (updated idea by Brian Earp) and commentary by Jenny Using AI to comb through prior recorded clinical conversations with patients to play back pertinent discussions; to predict functional outcomes; and to predict patient preferences based on prior spending patterns, emails, and social media posts (Teva's thought piece) A whole host of ethical issues raised by these ideas including the black box nature, the motivations of private AI algorithms run by for profit healthcare systems, turning an “is” into an “ought”, defaults and nudges, and privacy. I'll end this intro with a quote from Deb Grady in an editor's commentary to our thought piece in JAMA Internal Medicine about this topic: “Voice technology that creates a searchable database of patients' every encounter with a health care professional? Using data from wearable devices, internet searches, and purchasing history? Algorithms using millions of direct observations of a person's behavior to provide an authentic portrait of the way a person lived? Yikes! The authors discuss the practical, ethical, and accuracy issues related to this scenario. We published this Viewpoint because it is very interesting, somewhat scary, and probably inevitable.” -@alexsmithmd.bsky.social
