Good morning health tech readers!

When I worked in a physical newsroom instead of in my house, I was often mocked for muttering, speaking, and occasionally yelling at my computer screen. So I’m somewhat sympathetic to the growing mass of tech workers that are verbally dumping half-baked instructions into to Claude Code. Put on headphones and let people live.

I’ve been loving the satire on the “In Preparation” Substack, which includes fake articles like “Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna Leaves Science For Trade School, Tells Postdocs ‘Learn Welding While You Can.’”

I’ll be in San Francisco May 18 – 20 for the STAT Breakthrough West Summit. Even if you can’t make it to our very cool event, let me know if you want to meet up and talk AI or data, have a cool lab to show me, or just want to grab some ice cream: [email protected]

TITLE: STAT+: In the battle of sepsis algorithms, performance alone doesn’t predict victory

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/12/ai-sepsis-detection-startups-challenge-epic-systems/?utm_campaign=rss

Five years ago, the bottom fell out of sepsis prediction software. Hundreds of hospitals had adopted an algorithm from electronic health record company Epic that promised to alert physicians to predicted cases of sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to infection that kills more than 350,000 people in the United States every year. 

The AI was a technical flop. Despite its results on paper, the technology failed to perform in the real world, and sent so many alerts that doctors tuned them out or hospitals turned them off. 

Half a decade on, new sepsis models are hitting the scene. Epic released a retooled version of its own algorithm. Startups are testing their models in health systems. A team uses large language models to mine clinical notes for signs of sepsis. And on Tuesday, a sepsis flagging device from Bayesian Health, with origins at Johns Hopkins, announced it has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration.

TITLE: Opinion: AI doctors should be licensed. Here’s a framework to do that

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/11/ai-doctors-licenses-utah-doctronic-pilot/?utm_campaign=rss

Late last month, Utah’s Medical Licensing Board called for the immediate suspension of the state’s pilot program with the AI company Doctronic. The program lets a chatbot evaluate patients and recommend prescription renewals for nearly 200 chronic condition drugs, with the state planning to phase out physician review of each case.

The board said that it only learned about the pilot after it had launched. Its warning was blunt: proceeding without proper clinical oversight “potentially places Utah citizens at risk.”

In 2018, my Dad passed away, and I went to India. As I was kneeling by his dead body, grieving, my brother thrust a bunch of blank sheets of paper in front of my face, and said, "Sign these. They are for the division of property, and I need your power of attorney. It's just a formality." I was not thinking clearly at this point, and trusted him enough to sign the blank papers.

In 2022, I was visiting India again, and my brother and my mother told me that I was not getting anything out of my Dad's inheritance, and that I had signed it all over to them. This came as a shock!

I returned to America, and saw an American psychiatrist. She told me that I seemed fine, and tapered down my pills to zero, over some time, under her periodic supervision.

Immediately, my thinking cleared up. A mental fog lifted. Suddenly, I was thinking as lucidly and effortlessly, as I am used to, as I did in 2008, 14 years ago.

Since then, I fell out with my mother and brother. When I fell on hard times as a whistleblower, they would not help me. My brother was drinking expensive whiskey over a video call, as he refused to lend me even $30. He said he had a party to go to.

Later, when I had been homeless and starving for days, he agreed to give me $1000 , after demanding that I email him, saying I would drop the matter of Dad's inheritance.

I want to warn people against Dr. R. N. Sahu and his psychiatric malpractice.

Roche has signed a deal to pay $750 million upfront for Boston-based PathAI, an acquisition by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant to speed up its use of artificial intelligence to help pathologists diagnose disease.

The agreement, which is expected to close in the second half of the year, could generate an additional $300 million for PathAI if it leads to the achievement of certain milestones.

“Joining forces with Roche marks a new era for PathAI, enabling us to realize our mission of improving patient outcomes through AI-powered pathology at unprecedented scale and speed,” said Andy Beck, chief executive and cofounder of PathAI, in a statement. “Roche’s global infrastructure and expertise will bring our digital diagnostics technology to patients worldwide.”

TITLE: Opinion: STAT+: Medicare’s new RAPID pathway is a breakthrough for adults. Children are still waiting

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/08/medicare-rapid-pathway-pediatric-medical-devices/?utm_campaign=rss

In late April, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Food and Drug Administration announced the Regulatory Alignment for Predictable and Immediate Device, or RAPID, coverage pathway. On paper, it is exactly what the medical device community has been asking for: a synchronized process that could deliver Medicare national coverage as soon as two months after FDA market authorization, rather than the year or more families and manufacturers currently endure.

I want this pathway to succeed. I have spent more than a decade helping small companies bring novel devices through FDA review, including several that earned breakthrough device designation. I have watched reimbursement delay strangle technologies that children desperately need. Faster, more predictable coverage is a real problem, and RAPID is a real step.

But this announcement does not fix the way pediatric and orphan devices chronically lag behind their adult counterparts. In some ways, in fact, it deepens that gap.

TITLE: Fraudulent citations, blamed on AI hallucinations, are becoming more common in research papers

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/07/lancet-study-finds-steep-rise-fraudulent-citations-academic-papers/?utm_campaign=rss

Citations in academic papers are intended to ground research in the work that preceded it, over time creating something of a family tree explaining the roots of ideas, protocols, and studies. 

But a growing number of these citations lead to dead ends. “Fabricated” citations that do not reference real papers are spreading in the literature, polluting the public record of science, a new study published Thursday in the Lancet shows. Tools using generative AI are likely to blame, say the Columbia University researchers who authored the paper.
