theres a number of dead bodies in this space. it sounds like a great idea but once companies get big theyll diy. so your only market will be early startups for 1-3 years max and then theyll churn bf they ever get big enough to pay you what it's worth to get them on your platform in rhe first place. look at aptible and datica.


Thanks for sharing that insight. It's a stepping stone and it's critical to move quick.


It it’s too bad that this type of data beyond the medical record is not tracked along side it. Although many anecdotal associations are probably not correct for the broad population, there are likely nuances in the patients history and lifestyle which do make some more basic interventions helpful. ChatGPT surely picks up on some trends but doesn’t have enough data about the people where those trends are effective.

And of course its responses are highly subject to the prompts used


Agreed that this is a challenging problem, but mostly because of the data used to train and the tokenization for language models. We’re working on this building what we call a large medical model (lmm) which is trained on medical event histories from 10s of millions of patients, not papers or internet text. Our tokens are medical codes facilities demographics etc. If anyone is interested we have an api + we’re hiring. https://genhealth.ai


This is fascinating... but just a superficial nit about the website and what it puts across: As someone who spent half my life designing, illustrating and art directing for brands, the choice to use anime style art as the theme for section headers is the exact type of decision I look for when reviewing portfolios that tells me a potential hire might know how to use image editing tools or be proficient in technical fields, but is not actually a designer; i.e. can create an image they "like" but lacks the knowledge and creative ability to synthesize subtexts in design and art history in original ways that are visually compelling but also create the right tone for a client. The choice of generated amime art implies its use on the page as mere decoration, rather than as a language of communication carefully selected to give viewers the right impression of the company. It argues for why diffusion models guided by engineers will not replace professional art direction anytime soon.

No offense, this is a standard art crit I would give to any art student, or to anyone running a startup who had nonprofessional design.


Ha! We’re just trying to use the art to stand out from the rest of health tech which is quite boring. I get the target audience is not often into anime (Ive watched maybe 10 anime anything’s in my life), nevertheless it looks cooler than the “lobby people” on other websites, and I like to think, bc of threads like this, the selection of art has served its purpose.


FWIW - I think that's a great reason. Anything where the secondary, subconscious effects of the communication are considered and intentional is perfectly valid from my POV. It's part of my job to walk through these questions with clients who get attached early in brand development to certain themes or colors or typography, and they usually don't have an answer. But if it's like "we want to convey that we're too busy working on this amazing platform to worry about trying to look like every other digital biotech startup, most of whom use the same boring icon sets, so let's just throw out some fun subcultural art in the meantime," then your choice is well tuned to presenting the company culture you're trying to get across, and I withdraw my crit. In fact, I'd be overjoyed to hear that from any client.


To play devil's advocate, it could turn out that only 1 person needed to be persuaded by the art, some investor that ends up leading their next round, who happens to be an anime fan and now it was the right choice.

> rather than as a language of communication carefully selected to give viewers the right impression of the company

You could argue it gives the impression that the culture of the company is primarily technical, given that the technical and anime communities have a huge overlap.


Your first hypothesis is completely valid, and it occurred to me that this decision could have come from the top - but it's also a red flag for me when one or two individuals in a client's upper management or worse, investors, inject themselves into art decisions by overriding choices presented to them by trained and experienced professionals they've presumably hired to that end. Those companies tend to also override other suggestions presented by employees or contractors in other areas. Which implies a management style that isn't utilizing its hired talent to full effect.

As far as appealing to technical people who overlap with enjoying Anime, that would be a very specific decision that might be appropriate for a video game company or something, but even then it would have to be justified by having some actual connection to Anime culture. Otherwise it's sort of just appropriating a style... in the hope that some percentage of crossover exists between users, investors, and this subculture being heavily referenced. My theory is that no study was done on whether or to what extent that crossover existed here before choosing it as a theme, but if I'm wrong I'll eat my critique!


At what level of ridiculousness do you stop debating? It could turn out that they were blackmailed into making that choice, or maybe it was the best-looking color palette on their old Nokia.

At some point you have to be able to recognize that the emperor has no clothes, no matter what extenuating circumstances may have arised.


Art is famous, or infamous, depending on your perspective, for not having a level where you stop debating it.


It seems kind of pointless to debate it in this context with someone who is giving their professional opinion.


I’d say art is the one field where professional opinions are not the end of the discussion.


Your site must be running an lmm because scrolling is laggy.

You might want to profile it and see why a pixel 8 has trouble smoothly scrolling down the page.


Very interesting. Who are your target customers ?


Its broadly applicable, but initially health plans and provider orgs.


We are doing similar work at GenHealth.ai and getting sota results on some evals (not yet published). Our approach is very different from LLMs in that we are using a medical coding vocabulary and we are training transformers on actual patient histories. We have an API if anyone here wants to build on it. Oh and we are hiring

Hi. Which transformers should we be more familiar with before applying: autobots or decepticons?


Love what you're doing. A heads up: on mobile, the title text and colorful dripping goop are blocking your menu options.
