The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

2026 is The year of The Clinician-Builder.


2026 is the year of the clinician-builder.

This past year, I’ve immersed myself in new tools - from developing proofs-of-concept (PoC) in secure environments to shipping features alongside engineering teams at Cadence.

Below is a practical starter toolkit for tech-curious clinicians. These are accessible, no-code, freemium tools to learn by doing.

    1. Vibe-Coding Platforms
    My favorite, bolt.new, is an incredible canvas for translating clinical workflows, logic, and product concepts into tangible prototypes that engineers can build from.
    Pro tip: If Bolt isn’t delivering what you want, ask ChatGPT to help restructure your prompt.

    2. Voice Agents
    I started messing around with voice late last year and have been blown away. ElevenLabs is best-in-class for prototyping clinical workflows.
    Pro tip: If your voice agent struggles with prompts or RAG (knowledge base) access, ask an LLM (ChatGPT or Gemini) to help debug the setup.

    3. Ambient Scribes
    While 2024 was the year of the ambient revolution in health systems, over 40% of physicians still work in private practice and may not have the same accessibility to enterprise solutions. Fear not, as both OpenEvidence and Doximity have excellent freemium scribes.
    Pro tip: Do not use these on live patients unless sanctioned by your administration. If live use isn’t allowed, run simulated visits with colleagues.

    4. Presentation Magic
    I stumbled upon Gamma earlier this year. It's essentially an AI tool that generates presentations, one-pagers, and websites from simple text prompts and draft materials. For academic clinicians needing creative juice to spice up Grand Rounds decks, this is a game-changer.

    5. Agentic Assistants
    ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok etc...each has strengths, each has weaknesses. You should try them all. Beyond general Q&A, I’ve experimented with scaling domain expertise by building GPTs. They are also incredibly useful as editorial assistants.
    Pro tip: Model arbitrage is real. If you don’t like the output from one LLM, paste that draft into another platform and ask it to refine it. ๐Ÿ”„

    6. Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
    For now, OpenEvidence is is the clear leader because of the tight alignment with evidence-based-medicine practices that were hardwired into our brains. Keep in mind, none of these tools connect directly to EHR data. The clinician is still the API, bridging the insight to and from the patient record.

    Key Point: Experimenting ≠ deploying in live clinical environments. Be mindful of your health system policy as it pertains to any PHI. That being said, you don't need permission to learn, prototype, test, and build in closed or simulated environments. In my opinion, clinicians who understand the capabilities and limitations of these tools before enterprise adoption will become vastly better partners in digital transformation.

    Now I’m curious: What am I missing? Are you experimenting with tools that clinicians should know about? Drop them below๐Ÿ‘‡

AI Literacy in practice: What HR and Leaders need to do | A European Union Perspective




AI Literacy in practice: What HR and Leaders need to do.


The AI ACT, passed by the European Union, established regulators concerning the use of AI in healthcare.
The EU is far ahead of the United States in terms of regulations for AI overall, not just in healthcare applications.




NEWSLETTER:  Welcome to the FullStack HR AI Brief, the podcast that dives deep into the revolutionary intersection of artificial inte

Preparation for AI should already be well underway. There are many resources available on social media, webinars, and videos.
 Confusion can occur since many LLMs are competing for your attention. Generative AI has become dominant in constructing information relative to your needs in HR or otherwise.


How Bright is the Future of GAI?

A webinar on the application of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in health professional education. Led by faculty members and enriched by perspectives from students, this session will showcase a graduate-level assessment example utilizing GAI. Explore how GAI technologies are revolutionizing assessment practices in healthcare education, and promoting personalized learning.

Progress of Digital Health Applications in Medicine

Video plays here



Digital applications in medicine have rapidly evolved, transforming healthcare delivery through advancements like electronic health records (EHRs) for streamlined patient data access, telehealth platforms enabling remote consultations, wearable devices for real-time health monitoring, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for improved diagnostics and treatment planning. These technologies have significantly increased patient engagement, facilitated proactive care, and enhanced healthcare accessibility, particularly in underserved areas, while simultaneously optimizing clinical workflows and decision-making processes. As the field continues to develop, further integration of sophisticated digital tools is expected to revolutionize personalized medicine and further elevate healthcare outcomes.
Key points:
  • EHRs:
    Centralized digital patient records for improved information sharing and care coordination. EHR came on the scene in the late 2000s as the result of a federal incentive program to offset the considerable expense of acquiring software and hardware by physicians, clinics, and hospitals. CMS defined requirements for certification for reimbursement to physicians.  Many legacy systems were discarded and replaced by certified applications
  • Telehealth:
    Virtual consultations with healthcare providers, bridging geographical gaps. The greatest impetus for telehealth was the COVID 19 Pandemic to minimize transmission by office attendance and to relieve the large increase in demand for services due to COVID illness.
  • Wearables:
    Real-time monitoring of vital signs like heart rate and activity levels. Remote monitoring allows for the management of chronic illnesses, such as hypertension and cardiac arrhythmia. Chronic care management is encouraged by many insurance companies/
  • AI:
    Advanced analysis of medical data for enhanced diagnosis and treatment recommendations. A.I. is being evaluated and used for some applications.  Monitoring and transcribing in real time improves clinician efficiency.  Symptoms and signs may be interpreted and translated into possible diagnoses, however, AI must be monitored for accuracy by a clinician. AI is also used for drug development and research. AI is also used for developing and writing reports and letters for consultation by specialists.
A.I for analysis of imaging


A.I for Robotics



A.I is used by insurance companies to deny prior authorizations for patient services. A.I. has unlimited potential for increasing efficiency throughout the entire health care system.

A.I. will require regulation for ethical concerns. 

A.I. will improve as the training model expands.
