Now - throw a punch of clinical guidelines in a vector database and give it context and it’s 10x better than me and any doctor outside their speciality or all the mid-levels. (I.E, it’s better than cardiologist doing infectious disease - but not cardiologists doing cardiology). This because there are very niche stuff as you specialize where it’s only like 5 doctors who see it in the whole world on a consistent basis (and they don’t blog!)
I trained it on the IDSA guidelines (infectious disease) and put up a proof of concept on GalenAI.co - just as way to start talking to health systems and clinicians. it’s going to be very different world in medicine in a couple of years from now!!
For some context, the USMLE is taken during medical school. The amount I have learned about actually practicing medicine since graduating is probably an order of magnitude more than everything I learned in medical school! I still learn stuff, all the time, and I’m not just talking about new research.
So, while impressive and clearly part of the future world, we shouldn’t get too far ahead of ourselves with the current models.
Edit: oh I should add that there are more clinically relevant exams that would be more likely to reveal d clinical usefulness, for example “board” exams. These are taken after training, usually before practice. Not knocking LLMs, just ensuring that people don’t misunderstand passing the USMLE as being clinically useful.
Feedback, criticism, comments, directions to go, whatever.
This is a bit of a misunderstanding. CPT codes are part of professional services billing, while DRGs are exclusively for inpatient acute care billing. If you are admitted to a hospital, you’ll probably have to deal with both.
There are lots of things that cause anemia! And someone with unexplained anemia deserves a complete work up (especially with hemoglobin levels in the 4-5 range), including for tick-borne illnesses, especially if they have been in an endemic area. But lots of other things worth checking too, many more dangerous than tick-borne illnesses.
Ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and torsades are acutely deadly. You have seconds to minutes to get a normal rhythm back.
The charts colors made me feel like they were implying a-fib was the worst rhythm listed. (Though they list the severity in the descriptions in small text)
SmarterDx | Competitive salary + equity + benefits | NYC or Remote | Full-time | Experience: 3+ years
## Why SmarterDx
1. *We solve an important problem.* The cost of transactions for healthcare in the U.S. exceeds $350B a year. That’s not the cost of care; that’s not what is paid to doctors or nurses; that is just the friction of collecting payments from insurance companies (so not a cent of that provides value to patients)! SmarterDx improves this process and ensures payments are more accurate. 2. *We have real traction.* Our product directly ties to customer revenue. As a result, our founding team was able to grow the business to over $1M in contracted revenue without raising. But we believe we can 10X that in the next 1.5 years and have raised $5.7M from Floodgate, a top-tier SV fund, and Flare Capital, a top-tier Healthcare fund, to drive that growth. 3. *We are a close-knit team that cares about your growth.* All three founders are technical (two are physicians who code, and the third led quant engineering at a global investment bank). We select for mission-oriented teammates who are deeply thoughtful while being biased towards action; and who can disagree with others (a side effect of having novel viewpoints) while being genuinely nice and respectful. In return, we will do our best to help you grow your career and achieve a great personal outcome.
## About the role
We are looking to hire a *Senior or Principal Full Stack Engineer* to join our small but growing team. As an early employee, you’ll have an opportunity to work with awesome people (like an ex Apache board member!) and your work will influence all aspects of the product and business. You will also help shape our core engineering culture and grow the team.
As such, you'll have to be willing to get your hands dirty with (and learn) everything across the stack: healthcare data, APIs, frontend, backend, data engineering, algorithms, analytics, bug reporting, etc. (but the codebase is still small and we will do our best to give you time to dive deeply into specific areas).
## Our stack
- React & GraphQL - NextJS & Python - AWS
