SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: An AI tool aims to catch harder-to-detect heart attacks in EKGs
A flurry of artificial intelligence algorithms have promised to help identify heart conditions early. By analyzing an electrocardiogram, a common 10-second test of the heart’s activity, AI has been cleared to screen for common arrhythmias and structural heart conditions, and algorithms in development aim to pinpoint patients at highest risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
While many of those models are focused on early diagnosis and prevention, AI also might help a patient when they’re having a heart attack. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration issued a rare de novo classification to a model from Powerful Medical that aims to help triage patients to the right care when they’re having chest pain. The vast majority of AI devices go to market through the FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway; fewer than 10 each year receive de novo classification, which typically requires more clinical evidence.
The most severe kind of heart attack occurs when a coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart, is completely blocked off. Those patients need to get to a cardiac catheterization lab as soon as possible to open up the blockage and restore oxygen to the heart. On an EKG, doctors can identify these kinds of myocardial infarctions from their characteristic “ST-segment elevations.”

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: Trump officials say AI will help save rural health care. Some leaders in the field don’t believe it
BANGOR, Maine — Rural health care providers, which have struggled for years, are facing nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over the coming decade. The Trump administration is pointing to a cutting-edge, if unproven way to save them: artificial intelligence.
“The best way to help” rural communities, is “AI-based avatars,” Mehmet Oz, who leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said at an event on mental health this year.

MY RESULTS CAME BACK TODAY.
I WASN’T EXPECTING THIS. 💎Not because I felt ill, but because I’ve been having some changes "down there" and, at 70, it seemed sensible to stop guessing and actually get it checked out.
So I did.
Blood tests. Liver. Pancreas. Bowels and an abdominal scan with contrast. The usual things you start worrying about when you’re older, and something changes, even a little.
Apparently, there is nothing wrong with me. I found that slightly astonishing. For most of my life, I avoided going to the doctor for tests. Somewhere in my head was the rather ridiculous idea that if I went looking, I might just find something.
So I didn’t look.
Now, at 70, I’ve finally done the grown-up thing and had everything checked out thoroughly. The doctor says I’m as healthy as a horse. What makes that especially strange is that I’ve never lived my life as a health project. I had a massive stroke in my mid 30s, brain surgery, epilepsy and disability. By my late 40s, I was around 100 kilos overweight.
Over the past few years, I’ve lost that weight. I fast every day, meditate and do a lot of breathwork. Not because I set out to become some model of healthy ageing, but because these things gradually became part of the way I live.
Whether any of that explains today’s results, I have absolutely no idea. And I’m not going to pretend that it does. Bodies are unpredictable things. Most of the people I’ve known are already dead, including people who probably looked after themselves far better than I ever did. So I’m not drawing any grand conclusion from this.
I simply walked out of the doctor’s surgery today with one very clear feeling.
Gratitude.
Apparently, this old body is still doing its job perfectly well.

Blood tests. Liver. Pancreas. Bowels and an abdominal scan with contrast. The usual things you start worrying about when you’re older, and something changes, even a little.
Apparently, there is nothing wrong with me. I found that slightly astonishing. For most of my life, I avoided going to the doctor for tests. Somewhere in my head was the rather ridiculous idea that if I went looking, I might just find something.
So I didn’t look.
Now, at 70, I’ve finally done the grown-up thing and had everything checked out thoroughly. The doctor says I’m as healthy as a horse. What makes that especially strange is that I’ve never lived my life as a health project. I had a massive stroke in my mid 30s, brain surgery, epilepsy and disability. By my late 40s, I was around 100 kilos overweight.
Over the past few years, I’ve lost that weight. I fast every day, meditate and do a lot of breathwork. Not because I set out to become some model of healthy ageing, but because these things gradually became part of the way I live.
Whether any of that explains today’s results, I have absolutely no idea. And I’m not going to pretend that it does. Bodies are unpredictable things. Most of the people I’ve known are already dead, including people who probably looked after themselves far better than I ever did. So I’m not drawing any grand conclusion from this.
I simply walked out of the doctor’s surgery today with one very clear feeling.
Gratitude.
Apparently, this old body is still doing its job perfectly well.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: U.K. unveils recommendations for regulating AI in medicine
LONDON — A U.K. commission on Thursday unveiled its recommendations for how the country should regulate artificial intelligence in medicine, as health authorities globally try to determine how to continuously review ever-changing products after they have been authorized instead of simply clearing them once for the market.
In its report, the commission sought to strike a balance between ensuring that the U.K. takes advantage of AI’s potential in medicine — the ability to review the millions of scans that are generated each year to track the eye health of patients with diabetes, for example — while prioritizing safety, tracking device performance over time, and treating patients equitably.
The 44 recommendations include some that would allow for the staged authorization of new AI models and others that would build a system for providers to report how tools are performing in their clinics — including when they malfunction or potentially inhibit patient care — as the models learn and adapt and perform differently depending on the setting.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: ARPA-H to invest $62 million to develop FDA-authorized AI to help treat heart failure
ARPA-H, the government agency that funds cutting edge health research, plans to commit $62.7 million to develop artificial intelligence bots that direct treatment of heart failure. Among the goals of the program, called ADVOCATE, is to produce partially autonomous AI devices authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to help treat patients, including assessing symptom severity, prescribing drugs, and ordering lab tests.
ARPA-H on Wednesday announced the first batch of awards to health tech companies Atman Health, UpDoc, Tempus AI, and teams from Stanford University, Duke University, and the Kaiser Permanente health system. ARPA-H may still fund additional teams. The amount committed for the first year is $33.7 million, and the remainder may be renegotiated up or down.
Many of the 6.7 million Americans with heart failure don’t get optimal treatment because of difficulty accessing specialists, and the hope is that AI agents developed with ARPA-H funding can help address the gap, especially in rural and other underserved settings.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Can AI fix the emergency room?
You’re reading the web edition of STAT’s AI Prognosis newsletter, our subscriber-exclusive guide to artificial intelligence in health care and medicine. Sign up to get it delivered in your inbox every Wednesday.
It’s hard to resist the world’s obsession with productivity and efficiency and to force yourself to be present in a quiet space. I’ve been enjoying the wandering_cassettes Instagram account, which posts videos of Fisher Price cassette players playing songs in different settings. This one is particularly calming, but they’re all timeline cleansers.
The newsletter will be off next week as I work on a big new story, but I’ll be back in your inboxes Sept. 23.
AI scribes only fix a tiny slice of the problem
Today’s AI Prognosis — and my new story — are brought to you by “The Pitt.” Not in any financial way — I just mean that I finally started watching “The Pitt.” (No spoilers! I’m only halfway through season two.)
Everyone is right — it is extremely compelling television. But what struck me the most was how “The Pitt” feels exactly like the ambulance ride-alongs and emergency department shadowing visits I’ve done: Dropping in on the worst day of someone’s life, but doing it over and over every 40 minutes, for eight to 12 hours, without enough resources.

What a pair of characters! Glenn was just a pretty weird guy in general, clever . He lived on the second floor of my building. Anton, in the wheelchair is a book all by himself. His leg. That is just one story and here is how it happened. Anton is an alcoholic, what he did before he lost the leg for a living I don’t know, but when first saw him, he was on the corner by the robots begging. He would make enough money and then off to the Bottle Store. He did have a room to sleep in. I got […] -

My Rhino Wars – The Flat Tire and the Lion
The Flat Tyre and Lion Because the APUs are the last people to get funds we had been patrolling with really wrecked tyres for weeks. Our spare was absolutely useless at this stage. In the early hours Johannes and I were glad to see a lion in the thick bush, for exactly 2 minutes. A few meters down the road we got another flat. The procedure we had by now perfected was to get the small battery charged air pump out and just keep on stopping every now and then to inflate the almost useless […]https://waynebisset.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/my-rhino-wars-the-flat-tire-and-the-lion/

Stop Replacing Our Doctors!
Physician/anaesthesia assistants are employed more & more, many working beyond their scope. #Patients have #died due to #PAs working above their #competencies
Trusts still advertising for PAs/AAs when role requires a doctor, many of whom face #unemployment
Patients are confused by various ‘consultants’ who are NOT #medically qualified. They think they’re seeing a #doctor
This should NOT be future of #OurNHS!

How do you waste the most time every day?
At the time of writing this article, which was back in June 2025, I was going through my 6th Rotation of my Housemanship which is in the Department of Emergency and Trauma. As a House Officer in the Emergency Department, we go by the 12-hours shift.
This meant, our shift is from:
- AM Shift: 7am till 7pm
- PM Shift: 10am till 10pm
- Night Shift: 10pm till 10am
In this department, they are strict in regards to adhering to a minimum of 60 hours per week in total. Thus, in a week, our schedule is as follows;
- A total of at least 4 daytime shifts (AM or PM Shifts)
- One night shift
- One off day
That is provided one has off-tagged of course.
Perhaps, it is the “last paper syndrome” that I was experiencing being in the 6th and final rotation, I would be counting down my hours each day at work. Thus, upon arrival at work, I would start my “12-hours countdown“ on my phone.
On slow days, I made it a point to go to toilet every hour, technically my so-called “hourly break” whereas on busy days, the toilet break is the only time I could take a break. This is followed by ensuring I have at least one meal per day during my shift.
Otherwise, the schedule in the emergency department is relatively better as compared to my previous rotations. Nevertheless, the tiredness is still there.

While growing up, when I was asked regarding what I looked forward towards in the future, I always had the answer.
Photo by Derek Finch on Pexels.comThe answer was simply, I wanted to be a Doctor (coz that’s what I knew my whole life and indirectly working towards albeit having other interests).
Thus, from primary school, next would be high school, moving towards science stream in school and pre-university in a course which would serves as a prerequisite into entering medical school.
Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.comIn medical school, my focus was always on the exams, completing that particular posting, completing that year, completing preclinicals and moving onto clinicals, studying for the grand finals, completing medical school and graduating.
Upon graduation, applying for housemanship to start practicing. I always knew that I wanted to practice in Sarawak General Hospital. Thus, that didn’t require much thinking. Working my way there, and finally, starting housemanship.
Now that I’m a House Officer, completing each posting, working towards completing a year, now focusing on completing the whole journey.
But after that? I feel lost and aimless.
Previously, when asked regarding my need to have a family, I would brush it off. Not that I didn’t want to but I’ve yet to meet the person that I would want to spend the rest of my life with and build a family.
My aim was mainly catered towards my parents. But they’re doing just fine on their own. Thank God for that. I don’t see my purpose anymore actually.
In regard to post-housemanship, I have no idea of which speciality I would like to dive into. In terms of being surgical based or medical based, the thing I learnt over this past 1 year is that I’m definitely a surgical based person. Though, I have enjoyed paediatrics very much (which I supposed is a very much toned down version of the chaotic medical posting).
I wouldn’t know, as upon writing this article, I’ve yet to complete my medical posting.
The medical field is not just tied to 6 different postings. As a House Officer in Malaysia, we are required to rotate to 6 different postings throughout our 2-year-duration in housemanship which are, Surgery, Medical, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics. The sixth posting, we have the privilege to choose among Emergency Department (ETD / ED), Anaesthesia, Klinik Kesihatan (Community Clinics) and Psychiatry.
However, in reality, the clinical field is vast and there are other specialities that we as House Officers have yet to enter. In terms of non-clinical field, it is another vast category.
Which of it am I?
At times I wished that I always knew of what I wanted to be, such as a Cardiologist or a Surgeon but after assisting in the operating theatres and working as a junior doctor, none of it appeals to me 100%. Sure it is interesting but is it something I would want to be doing for the rest of my life?
Having completed a year of housemanship, I thought that the answer would be clear to me by now. Yet, I’m still as unsure as I had been before. I’ve approached multiple seniors, medical officers and specialists and talked to various doctors from different fields regarding their experience. I seem to have the information but my heart was not fully captured by any of it.
Everything seems nice and interesting. I hope that in time to come, the answer would be clearer. The least I could do at the moment is to put my best foot forward in whatever department or sector that I go through.

My Top 5 Grocery Store Items
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
Daily writing prompt List your top 5 grocery store items. View all responsesWorking as a House Officer, I do not go out to eat much. Mainly because our days are mainly occupied with work and after work, we would be drained. Well, most of the time.
Thus, if I were to really go out, it would be during my long breaks which is when I apply for leaves.
In terms of acquiring groceries, I rarely go to the grocery store myself as I do not have a car of my own in Sarawak. I am extremely dependent on Grab and overtime can be expensive as well.
Hence, I make do with the convenience store downstairs at my apartment which doesn’t really have much in terms of fresh foods or ordering online.
Here are my Top 5 must haves in my grocery list which is available in the convenience store if I were to just shop there.
1. Coffee
Photo by Enes Cou015fkun on Pexels.comAs I mentioned in some of my previous articles before. It is a must have drug in my system. Personally I think I have grown rather immune to the effects of caffeine over the years from overconsumption. Thus, if I’m unable to get my grounded coffee beans, usually I’ll make do with some freeze dried coffee or a regular black coffee powder.
2. Oats
Photo by maria cerda on Pexels.comI replace rice for rolled oats when I’m living alone. Back at home, my mother would always cook rice as my parents love rice. However, I noticed that I easily crash or get sleepy easily after consuming rice. Thus, I substitute it for rolled oats and usually I would cook soups or curries and pour the oats over it and consume it just like regular rice.
3. Eggs
Photo by Daniel Reche on Pexels.comIt is easily available. When there is nothing else stored in my pantry and everything else is closed, eggs go about well with almost everything.
4. Noodles
Photo by Alena Shekhovtcova on Pexels.comWell, I’m not exactly healthy per se all the time, and I do enjoy my occasional instant noodles. Especially after work and not having a meal the whole day, I’ll just whip up a quick dish of curry instant noodles with eggs.
5. Sausages
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.comPersonally, I prefer chicken over sausages and as mentioned before, I rarely go out for my groceries. Hence, I’d go for sausage since it is easily available at the convenience store downstairs. In addition to that, I can be versatile with cooking them.
Thus, if I had to list 5 of the hat, these are my top 5 that I would shop for in any grocery stores amidst working as a House Officer.
Again, sadly, it lacks nutrition. But, oh well.

Paediatrics Posting. The posting of tiny human beings.
Looking back, I feared entering into the Paediatrics posting. I think I say that for almost every posting.
However, it was one that I fell in love with before I even off-tagged, as mentioned in one of my articles previously.
The stress level was not as bad as it was in other postings mainly because we were dealing with children. Not to say that treating them is easier, in fact it isn’t as they tend to fight back, scream or cry a lot.
I mean they’re just children.
But perhaps when I do come to work, the smile on their cute faces were enough to alleviate some of the stress and checking them clinically involves a skill as they are easily triggered.
I would find myself playing with them or calming them down. Most of the time if I were to auscultate them, they would either start playing with it, swat it away or start crying.
The Paediatrics posting is the place I started eating again amidst the stress. Irregardless of the amount of patients and work to do, there is always time for lunch or at least our superiors will make sure of that.
It was also the place where I enjoyed the long rounds in the morning and afternoon as well as I would present to specialists.
I made a good friend with a medical officer who I still keep contact with albeit having left the posting. I enjoyed the days where I would be allocated to work with him.
Having worked both in the general ward and nursery ward, the experiences were different but enjoyable nonetheless.
If there is a posting I wouldn’t mind repeating, it is the Paediatric Posting and I hope you do or will or had enjoyed this posting just as much as I did.

I tagged for almost a month here.
The tagging timing in the Surgical Posting is from 7am till 10pm which is same as with other postings, except Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G).
In the Surgical Posting, we all have to complete a compulsory 14-Day-Tagging period irregardless of having “off-tagged”. Entering the Surgical Department as a senior or fourth poster, we are allocated to special shifts such as night shifts in ward or night shifts in ethe emergency department (ETD).
This serves as an advantage to us seniors as we do not have to work the morning shift for one week straight prior to having an off day. It is also better as it allows us to recuperate in between by not having to go to work extremely early.
However, the disadvantage is that our tagging period is somewhat extended.
As I mentioned before, we are required to complete a 14-Day-Tagging period. The night shift is not counted. Hence, the tagging duration can go up to 3 weeks.
For me, it extended up to 4 weeks due to my medical leaves (MC).
During my first week of tagging, I took a day of medical leave due to extreme fatigue and in the second week, I took 3 days of medical leaves due to extreme fatigue and COVID-19.
At the time of writing this article, I am on a 6 weeks medical leave due to my ATFL injury.
Sometimes I wonder, if I will ever exit this posting and proceed with my last which is medical.
Back to the tagging part, thus my tagging period lasted for a month.
Going to work as a tagger, I would leave home around 5:45am – 6am. Partly because I’m just tired and felt like I needed more rest because there will always be an active issue in ward and I am only able to return home at 10pm.
In the evening around 7pm, I would go for dinner after handing over to the night colleagues and completing my tasks and on-call reviews for the day. Most of the time, it would be our first meal of the day.
Some days, we would be done by 8-9pm and on some days, earlier. Most of us, upon completing, would head for dinner and head home or to just head home straightaway.
This is wrong of course but we were simply exhausted and burnt-out during the tagging period. Thus, we grab the opportunity while we could.
Towards the end of my tagging period, I started bringing packed dinner boxes and reheating them as work prior going back.
Surviving the tagging period in the Surgical Posting was hard and tiring but eventually, it did came to an end.
Thus, if you have yet to enter the Surgical Posting, the tagging period is indeed tiring as with any posting. However, try to learn as much as you can and take comfort in the fact that it does come to an end.
