TITLE: STAT+: Why this former ER doc thinks giving AI less information is sometimes better

Let me know if, especially after reading the below item on what recent heart drug failures mean for AI in drug discovery, you have questions about AI in pharma. I’ll be interviewing executives from Novartis and Johnson & Johnson on stage next week at the HLTH conference.

And if you have questions for Epic, come on down to the STAT stage takeover at HLTH a week from today, where I’ll be talking to Aneesh Chopra, Brendan Keeler, and Epic executives Antonia Papajani and Seth Howard.

Less is more?

In today’s clinical AI landscape, every platform is making a land grab: Epic, traditionally a system of record, now wants to display clinical recommendations. Abridge, which started as an ambient scribe, wants your patient’s insurance information. OpenEvidence, which originally answered clinical questions, wants you to enter patient records and visits so it can give you personalized recommendations.

TITLE: STAT+: MDCalc launches a ‘rumble strip’ for doctors using generative AI tools

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/11/11/mdcalc-launches-crosscover-rumble-strip-for-clinical-ai-chatbots/?utm_campaign=rss

MDCalc, a medical reference tool site, Wednesday announced the launch of CrossCover, which the company said is meant to help clinicians trust the answers of medical artificial intelligence chatbots while preserving patient and provider privacy.

Graham Walker, head of AI at MDCalc, said the company sees the tool as an accelerator for clinical generative AI. “We can take away some of the challenges and risks and problems with the technology so that physicians can feel more confident in using it,” he said.

CrossCover takes an approach that contradicts that of medical AI tools from OpenEvidence, Abridge, and electronic health record company Epic, which are trying to incorporate an ever-widening repertoire of patient, provider, and payer information into their recommendations. Rather than requiring clinicians to register with their national identification numbers or trying to mitigate risk by brokering privacy agreements that allow clinicians to enter protected patient health information, MDCalc’s tool focuses on stripping out those types of information from clinicians’ queries.

TITLE: STAT+: Oura to acquire Counsel Health for $625 million, a big bet on AI care

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/11/10/oura-acquires-counsel-health-big-bet-ai-care/?utm_campaign=rss

Oura, the smart ring maker that just over a month ago delayed plans to go public over market uncertainty, announced it will spend $625 million to acquire Counsel Health, a clinical artificial intelligence startup.

Counsel Health is the maker of a chatbot that users can talk with about health concerns before being transferred to a clinician for treatment and diagnosis over telehealth.The company had previously disclosed $36 million in funding. 

The large transaction reflects a growing desire to connect consumer wearable devices to clinical care as well as conviction that AI chatbots will be an important part of health care.

TITLE: Opinion: AI’s health advice can be accurate and still make us sicker

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/11/10/ai-health-advice-accuracy-messaging-risk-behavioral-benchmarking/?utm_campaign=rss

Artificial intelligence is delivering health guidance at an unprecedented scale. Every week, more than 300 million people ask ChatGPT health questions. Now, the federal government is moving AI deeper into medical care to communicate directly and autonomously with patients. Chris Klomp, the nominee for deputy secretary of Health and Human Services, has called AI in patient care the agency’s “holy grail” for improving the nation’s health.

Government and tech leaders believe AI will benefit us because it is remarkably good at retrieving factual medical information. Although nearly all published safety evaluations focus on accuracy, it is only one dimension of safety. Measuring accuracy cannot detect a subtle form of harm: Even a factually accurate health message can change behavior in ways that make people less healthy.

TITLE: STAT+: Bill Ackman’s bold plan to transform brain research

NEW YORK — If you’re blind, Bill Ackman wants to help you see again.

That is the ambitious plan the billionaire is pursuing with the Ackman Oxman Institute, a new institution in New York City that will act as a hub for brain injury research, including brain-computer interfaces that can help people move, speak, and connect to digital devices through brain activity. 

It’s a new dream with a tragic backstory.

TITLE: AI chatbots aren’t therapists. But can they finally get men to open up?

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/11/09/ai-chatbots-can-overcome-mental-health-barriers-in-men/?utm_campaign=rss

It was mid-morning when Luca got the phone call. His wife and children were asleep in New York City, and he was at work in Trieste, Italy, a new city in a home country that felt foreign after decades abroad. He knew what his brother was going to say, on the other end of the line: Their ailing father was nearing the end. 

Luca left the office and set out to drive the 300 miles separating him from the childhood home where the father he idolized was not going to see another morning.
