The study will analyze electronic health records, survey patients and clinicians, and use artificial intelligence to identify why many patients discontinue obesity treatment.

Cause of death often lies buried amid content on crowdfunding platforms, web-based obituaries and memorial websites. With AI assistance, gathering and combining this mortality data with medical records could help power research and public health.

Large language models achieved diagnostic rates of 13.3% and 10.0%, compared to the historical clinical review rate of 5.6%, and they suggested next steps to evaluate the suggested diagnoses.

The program, called DAX Copilot, relieves clinicians from having to enter data into the electronic health record during patient visits and enables them to focus more fully on the patient.

The collaboration will center on the Molecular AI Initiative’s pioneering platform, which uses AI-driven 3D spatial multimodal research to build predictive, high-fidelity models of a patient’s disease at the molecular level.

These new technologies showcase how VUMC researchers are using the power of AI to meet a wide range of medical needs.

In a twist from years past, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows took the helm in selecting the topics and inviting speakers.
