New findings from UMass Memorial Medical Center mark a major step forward in bringing proactive brain health assessments into primary care. UMass primary care practitioners (PCPs) successfully integrated Linus Health’s Core Cognitive Evaluation (CCE) during routine visits, not by squeezing it into their workflow—but by establishing a new one that addressed a critical gap in brain health screening. The study, “Digital Assessment of Cognitive Health in Outpatient Primary Care: Usability Study,” published in JMIR Publications Formative Research by UMass Chan Medical School researchers, underscores how digital tools like the CCE can overcome time constraints that have historically limited cognitive assessments. These findings come at a pivotal moment: early diagnosis is now essential to access new Alzheimer’s therapies, and evidence continues to build around the benefits of early intervention for dementia prevention.

 Meet Dr. Batia Wiesenfeld, Professor of Management at NYU Stern School of Business. In this video, Batia discusses how LLMs are rapidly shifting how people access health information—often even before contacting a doctor. Her team's survey study shows that LLMs are already more trusted by some than search engines, raising important implications for healthcare communication. ▶️ Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/ef7Tx24K 📄 Read the full article in JMIR: https://lnkd.in/egEN2fBE #AI #GenerativeAI #DigitalHealth #HealthCommunication #LLMs

This JMIR Publications 2:55 video is pretty long! I recommend fast forwarding the part where I describe the summary of what the article is about at 0:55 seconds :-). #MyJMIRResearch https://lnkd.in/gACAipTP

A 2020 The National Institutes of Health-backed review published in JMIR Publications highlights how health data systems have evolved and where they must go next. From hand-written charts to real-time, AI-enabled insights, the expectations for modern platforms are only getting higher. 🔎 The study identified seven essential requirements for modern health data platforms: 1. Real-time, accessible clinical data 2. Active patient participation 3. Seamless system integration 4. Strong data security & identity protection 5. Public health insight generation 6. Comprehensive records 7. And workflows that keep providers at the center of it all At Hychara Health, we’re building around these exact principles. Bridging fragmented systems, reducing documentation burden, and delivering smarter, interoperable tools that actually improve patient care and practice efficiency. 📈 Whether you’re exploring BI dashboards, documentation optimization, or deeper EHR integration—we’re helping teams think ahead, not just catch up. 🔗 Read the NIH article here: https://lnkd.in/gREFKw3e 💬 Then connect with us to talk about what this future looks like for your practice. #HycharaHealth #HealthIT #Interoperability #DocumentationBurden #BIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #PracticeManagement #PhysicalTherapy #HealthcareInnovation

MD+ has published its first paper in JMIR Publications!!! Michael Yao Lathan Liou, MPhil Emily L. Leventhal Lawrence Huang Steve J. Stephen Clara Sun https://lnkd.in/eifD8Ki9 The link between data science/AI and medicine has only grown stronger in the past several years. Medical education will need to adapt to this paradigm. Since the first datathon organized in 2022 by Lathan Liou, MPhil and Katie Link, we have organized annual datathons with 250+ students across multiple medical schools around the world! Teams have worked together to explore medical datasets, build ML models, and ultimately solve real-world problems. A team led by Michael Yao analyzed the data and found that datathons could serve as a model for medical students and early-career clinicians to gain crucial data skills and learn more about #aiinmedicine #datascience to improve patient care! We have too many people to thank who made this all possible over the years, including so many members of MD+ who helped with outreach and advertising, but special shout out to event organizers, speakers, and judges: Sherman L. Eric Shan Mahir Jethanandani Olivier Humblet Thomas Stanis Gregory Calip, PharmD, MPH, PhD Max Kuhn Eric Sun Sid Salvi Kathryn A. Teng MD, MBA, FACP Amit Phull Caroline Morgan Berchuck, MD, MPH Reza Alavi, MD, MHS, MBA Marc Triola David Dupee, MD Andrea Green Jannes Jegminat And of course, the biggest thank you to all our participants who made these datathons so worthwhile to host!!

Our MD+ Datathon team led by Michael Yao just published its first paper in JMIR Publications! Had an awesome time working with Lathan Liou, MPhil, Clara Sun, Emily L. Leventhal, and Lawrence Huang on this. Read here about how datathons can support medical students in learning about AI and data science: https://lnkd.in/ghJ8TEUg

Just published in JMIR Publications JMIR, our study on how to leverage #social #listening, #qualitative focus groups, and co-design to develop digital tools to enhance young adult participation in #clinical trials. This approach led to two tools we tested in a controlled intercept study which found that mobile and web-based tools can enhance young adult interest and participation intent in trials. Huge thanks to our partners at California State University, Fullerton led by Joshua Yang and all our research staff at S-3 Research that led this study funded by FDA. Also big thanks to all our FDA colleagues, who regrettably are no longer with the agency, but are the reasons this study was even possible in the first place. Next steps are more refined digital tools for specific disease areas and ensuing that young adults can trust and feel like they can be a part of the clinical trial process. Raphael E.
