Chatbots are infiltrating healthcare. What now?

Lisette Hilton | Healthcare practices are already using chatbots to help with administrative tasks like scheduling appointments or requests for prescription refills. And while users say the current generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology falls short for safely treating patients, a recent survey of healthcare practices suggests 77% of users predict chatbots will be able to treat patients within the next decade. According to Software Advice’s 2023 Medical Chatbot Survey of 65 healthcare providers or practice owners who use live chatbots on their websites, which was conducted in March 2023, more than three quarters of those surveyed are extremely or somewhat confident in chatbots’ ability to assess patients’ symptoms. Chris R. Alabiad, MD, professor of clinical ophthalmology and ophthalmology residency program director at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, FL, has tested the use of ChatGPT (Open AI) in the academic and clinical settings. He piloted the use of ChatGPT at Bascom ...

Excessive digital technology use is associated with reduced sleep quality regardless of environmental and genetic factors, study finds

In a recent study published in the SLEEP Journal, researchers explored the association between poor sleep and the excessive use of digital technology among adolescents after adjusting for familial factors and examining the influence of environmental and genetic factors on the association. Background Although many studies have reported that excessive use of digital technology among adolescents and young adults is linked to lower sleep quality, recent research indicates that in studies that used relevant control groups, the association was weaker or non-significant. This implied that a third unexplored factor, such as environmental or genetic influences, could be the underlying reason for these observed associations. Factors related to parental control and lack of boundaries resulting in inconsistent bedtimes and excessive use of technology could be impacting the quality of sleep. Digital technology is thought to impact sleep quality in various ways. Hyperarousal and the requirement to constantly ...

Healthcare companies may turn to big banks after SVB’s fall

Healthcare startups may turn to traditional large banks and prioritize conserving cash after the collapse of regional lenders Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank last week. The fall of SVB created a hole in the life sciences startup sector, locking out funds temporarily for some companies and cutting off a source of short-term cash for healthcare startups. A major bank and lender for healthcare companies, SVB last year had clients in nearly half of U.S. venture-backed technology and life sciences companies. “At this very moment, I think most of the companies are flying to safety, to the big banks,” said Ian Chiang, partner at healthcare investing company Flare Capital, “Perhaps it’s a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction to see what would happen.” However, companies may still deposit with regional banks, depending on size. Healthcare unicorns, meaning companies with valuations exceeding $1 billion, are likely not going to be able to have ...
