Five months ago, Utah became the first state to authorize an AI system to process prescription renewals.
The state government built oversight around the program and committed to publishing what it found.

Today at the AWS Summit NYC I'm on a panel on building autonomous workforce systems. The questions are difficult and deserve meaningful answers: where does the agent live, when must it defer to a human, and what's the metric that proves it works? @doctronic is putting agents in a - 32 million Americans were under heat advisories in May. It was only the second time New York City had ever issued a heat advisory in May. Cities including Boston, Raleigh, and Washington, D.C. saw record-breaking temperatures. Heat illness can move fast, especially for older
- Researchers just demonstrated a contact-lens-shaped device that can reshape the cornea using electricity. No lasers. No incisions. Just about one minute of treatment in early laboratory tests on rabbit eyes. Researchers were able to reshape corneal tissue in a way that could
The implications, if this approach proves safe and effective in human trials, could be significant. LASIK today requires trained surgeons, specialized equipment, and access to an ophthalmology center. A simpler approach could one day help make vision correction available to more - AI found cancer hiding in a scan his doctors said was clear. Fang Jiacai is 54. He went to his local hospital in eastern China for a persistent cough. His chest CT came back normal, so he went home. Days later, the hospital called. An AI system reviewing his scan had flagged a
His first reaction: "I almost dismissed the call as a scam." Tests confirmed a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, the same rare cancer Steve Jobs was diagnosed with. Because it was caught early, surgeons removed it with minimally invasive surgery. Fang made a full recovery. - One donation. Up to three lives saved. Today is World Blood Donor Day. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. About 6.8 million people donate each year. The need is always greater. New gene-editing therapies for conditions like sickle cell disease are showing
- You've probably been there. Something feels off. You call to make an appointment. The earliest opening is a month away. So you wait. Or you spiral through Google. Or you just hope it resolves on its own.
A 2025 AMN Healthcare survey found the average wait time for a new doctor is now 31 days. That number has real consequences for real families. Doctronic doesn't replace your doctor. But when the answer can't wait 31 days, it makes sure you're not left without one. - Doctronic repostedA lot of people have asked why we agreed to a preemptive Series B only a few months after our Series A was preempted. The answer starts with @AbstractVC. @ramtinnaimi has built a remarkable track record by recognizing exceptional companies before consensus forms around them.
- Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness among working-age adults. Most cases are caught late, not because the tools don't exist, but because patients never complete screening or reach eye care in time.
In 2018, the FDA cleared the first autonomous AI system for diabetic eye screening. It moved into primary care offices. No ophthalmologist required for every image review. Patients who need a referral get one. Patients who don't come back next year. That's what access-first AI - Someone nearby could collapse from cardiac arrest today. And one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to help isn’t because they don’t care. It’s because they’re afraid. “I’m not trained enough.” “What if I do it wrong?” “What if I make things worse?” But here’s what many
- 1 in 3 adults now use AI for health questions. The question isn't whether people will turn to technology, it’s whether the technology they're turning to was built for it.
Most AIs have no clinical training, HIPAA framework, or physician oversight. Just a language model pattern-matching on information that was never validated for medical accuracy. Doctronic was built specifically for health. Medically-focused AI, HIPAA-secure by design, with - Doctronic repostedI'm surprised more people in health tech don't know about the @CMSinnovates ACCESS Model. It's the second biggest story in the field this year. With ACCESS a company that helps manage a Medicare patient's chronic condition gets paid for outcomes (roughly a few hundred dollars in
