I don’t think the examples shown reflect an element of critique.

If you have complete AV block, a leadless pacemaker is less good than one with multiple leads, since it allows pacing multiple chambers and maintaining synchrony between A and V.

Not all treatments are equally likely as well. Given how good dietary science is outside of cancer, less optimistic at rigorous studies in this area.

It’s a research dataset, similar to MNIST or CIFAR. Stanford does not want to be in the business of monetizing patient data, so it restricts commercial use.

With AIMI, we released EchoNet-Dynamic, the largest open dataset of echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasounds) and expert cardiologist labels as part of a paper published last year. The dataset went through a rigorous review to make sure no identifying information was leaked as part of the process. Happy to answer any questions.

I have absolutely nothing against CGMs, but the author confounds measurement error (which can happen in both blood tests as well as subcutaneous measurement which a CGM does), thresholding on a population level (I doubt anyone thinks an A1c of 4.5 and 5.6 are the same), and weak evidence of impact in actual health outcomes. It’s fun in the same way a Fitbit/Apple Watch is fun, but I don’t think one should oversell it’s utility.

As a physician, I can say that is not true
