Epic to use Abridge generative AI to convert patient-clinician conversations into a draft clinical note. #genechat It's happening.
When you're on a roll, you're on a roll. @abridgeHQ and @ShivdevRao are on a roll. First the Epic partnership and now a Series B with some blue chip investors. via @BrockEWTurner

"The Supreme Court ruled correctly that genes found in nature should not be patented." - @myriadgenetics CEO Paul Diaz https://t.co/4HQ9y26l3J

A huge shift from when @lazgabe and I gave our talk on ECS at NSGC in 2012.
"Based upon the current level of evidence, we recommend #ECS be made available for all individuals considering reproduction and all pregnant reproductive pairs, as ECS presents an ethnicity-based carrier screening alternative which does not rely on race-based medicine." #GeneChat

My cardio #genetic experts— is it just me, or are we thinking he needs testing? Long QT? Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? #DamarHamlin
"What we learned overnight ... is that in fact it was cardiac arrest, and also critically important that they were able to restart his heart in the field." — CNN's @drsanjaygupta on Damar Hamlin, who is reportedly still in critical condition "but stabilized overnight"
