Innovations Driving Digital Therapeutics

Medical-GPT models are leaping from theory to bedside—fast. Here are three signals every clinician, innovator, and investor should have on their radar today: 1️⃣ Med-PaLM 2 is setting the pace at ≈ 87 % on tough benchmark exams—proof that large-scale instruction-tuning can close knowledge gaps once thought impossible. 2️⃣ Nuance DAX Copilot already cuts documentation time by ~70 %, giving doctors back the one resource we can’t manufacture: time with patients. 3️⃣ The next wave is smaller, specialty-ready, and multimodal. Keep an eye on MEDITRON-70B, BioMistral-7B, and HeAR (audio-first TB screening)—models built for real-world constraints, not just leaderboard glory. 💡 Why this matters: When domain-tuned GPTs clear 80 % accuracy and integrate voice, imaging, and EHR data, we move from talking about AI to making clinical decisions with AI. That re-shapes everything from triage to treatment plans. 👉 Your turn: • Which model—or clinical use case—excites you most? • How will you vet safety and bias as these tools reach your practice? 🔄 If this insight helps you, please hit “share” so more clinicians and innovators can join the dialogue and accelerate responsible AI adoption. —Harvey Castro MD #DrGPT #AIinHealthcare #MedicalGPT #DigitalHealth #FutureOfMedicine

Do Big Pharma Have Little Ambition When It Comes to Digital Therapeutics? >> 💊 Survey the digital therapies coming out of pharma over the past year and you'll see a wide range of therapy areas, but most offerings follow the same templated playbook, Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on an app, designed to support drug prescribing Meanwhile this year, non-pharma players are actually innovating hard in the digital treatment space: 🧠 TheraBot, a generative AI chatbot, has shown meaningful improvements in depression, anxiety, and eating disorders 🎵 MedRhythms, Inc.’ Movive™ uses rhythmic music and sensors, for gait in Parkinsons, now FDA-listed for prescription use ⚡ YBRAIN’s MINDD STIM showed promising clinical results for perinatal depression using neuromodulation 🥽 Luminopia’s VR-based DTx is the first FDA-cleared treatment for amblyopia in kids in over two decades 👓 Strolll ’s AR glasses turn physiotherapy into a game for neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and stroke To be fair, Pharma is ‘digitally innovating’, just elsewhere. They're going big on AI for drug discovery, clinical trial acceleration, and operational efficiency. Radiology and digital diagnostics are booming too, with Bristol Myers Squibb, Bayer, and Roche making big advances. And they’re hungrily hoarding real-world data to fuel their next-gen pipelines. The problems is the incentive model still rewards drugs, not wellness. Imagine if Eli Lilly and Company or Novo Nordisk launched a powerful digital therapy for weight loss today, it would be an expensive way to cannibalize their own blockbuster meds. But in an outcome-based wellness model it could become a powerful extension of their franchise Until that shift happens, expect pharma to keep treating digital therapeutics as an amuse-bouche, not the main course #DTx #DigitalHealth #AI #Pharma
