  1. #Trump admin makes sweeping request for #medicalRecords of federal workers

    The Trump administration wants to require #health #insurance companies to hand over troves of sensitive, detailed, and identifiable #medical records from millions of federal workers and retirees, along with their families. The move is raising immediate concern from legal and health policy experts, according to a report by KFF Health News.

    You stated: <<What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not". Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on.>>

    Way back in the early 2000s, there was a system called "Dragon Dictate". The goal was to eliminate #human #transcriptionists with automated speech-to-text (sound familiar?) The system had to be trained on your voice and vocabulary. Once properly trained it could do a pretty good job, I'll guess 95-98%. It was better suited to output that was stereotyped (mostly the same), and structured (such as radiology reports and operative notes).

    Regardless of how the note/report was generated, the professional who spoke the words had a obligation to at least scan the output and sign it (yes, with an ink pen!). Once signed it became part of the "legal medical record" open to misinterpretation, copying, lawsuits, etc. etc.

    Once Dragon Dictate became routine (and they fired all the transcriptionists) I started to notice this little #disclaimer at the bottom:

    "If portions of this note are confusing or indecipherable please feel free to call me with questions or concerns." Sounds a lot like #AI to me! I polite way to summarize this is:

    👉 They were trying to force me to be their copy-editor. 👈

    It cast the entire content in doubt.

    Consider for a moment the difference between saying "The scan does not show cancer." and "The scan does show cancer." That "not" is doing a lot of work, and is very easy to miss when you're talking fast and never intend to read your own note ever again.

    More subtle is the grammatical error in the first sentence. "This note was #dictated using Dragon text to speech recognition software." Either they changed their product name to "Dragon Text", in which case the capitalization is off. Or they transposed words and it should read "speech to text" or "speech recognition" with no text.

    👉 In other words, they didn't even proof-read their own disclaimer! 😱

  5. #OpenAI launched #ChatGPTHealth, allowing users to securely connect #medicalrecords and #wellnessapps to the chatbot. This feature aims to provide more relevant responses by incorporating user health information, but it is not intended for diagnosis or treatment. cnbc.com/2026/01/07/openai-cha #tech #media #news

  6. #Trump

    A “genius” who won't show his grades.

    A “perfectly healthy” person who won't release his #medicalrecords.

    An honest person who won't release his #taxes.

    And a person who's against #sexualabuse of #minors who won't release the #EpsteinFiles.

    Come on. Pull the other one!

  8. The dept said the #NIH & the Centers for #Medicare & #Medicaid Services will partner to build a real-world data platform enabling advanced research across #claims #data, electronic #MedicalRecords, & wearable health-monitoring #devices.

    The project is part of a wider $50M #research effort #RFKJr is launching to identify the causes of #autism, which he characterizes as an *epidemic* that can be prevented.

  9. The Australian Government has a central digital records system called My Health Record.

    Anyone in the medical system have an intelligible take as to if this is worth the privacy costs to be sharing health info into a central health record.

    Im weighing up the benefits of "medical staff being able to access my records in a time of high need" vs future versions of the state using this information to discriminate / make decisions in the background that are not in the individuals benefit.
