    New FTC Rule Requires Digital Health Companies To Notify Users of Data Breaches

    The FTC has been busy. First the non-compete rule, now the extension of more stringent notification on data breaches for wellness and fitness apps. Wellness apps, which don’t do insurance claims or are not specifically covered, are exempt from HIPAA. Which is probably a good thing for many of the types of apps available, but it also means they are covered by different reporting rules to consumers on learning of a data breach. The FTC is separately looking at privacy and data ownership after the 23AndMe debacle.

    Supplement Use By Kids Has Exploded In Popularity And Pediatricians Are Worried

    Influencer marketing isn’t just in supplements - it’s in everything: diets, devices, apps, supplements. It’s also unregulated, and probably impossible to regulate. There’s a big difference in saying in an Tiktok that “I’ve used this and it worked great”, and “You should use this and it will have this effect”. And that’s before the highly realistic AI influencers get started. The same marketing technique is being heavily used by pharmaceutical marketing, in regulated environments.

    Use of a Large Language Model to Assess Clinical Acuity of Adults in the Emergency Department

    A study that feeds a large number of adult ED visits into an LLM to determine how it does in acuity ratings. While there’s probably not a market need for that in the EHR, studies that evaluate AI performance against real-world standards, rather than just feeding them standardized tests can provide a better basis for judging risk and error rates in the AI.

    In this case, the LLM does a reasonable job at evaluating severity and clinical acuity required to respond to the presentation.
