Relationality, self-governance, competence. The position paper's starting premise is that consensus on privacy, disclosure and fairness has not been reached, and clinicians need guidance anyway.
A network meta-analysis of 53 studies and more than 7 million admissions finds machine learning out-discriminates traditional sepsis scores — and would raise roughly two false alarms for every real one.
A system called Quicker writes clinical guideline recommendations through a GRADE workflow. A Matters Arising and its reply, published the same day, map what still has to be built around it.
The tool reads vital signs, lab results, and history the way clinicians already do — just faster and continuously. Its accuracy tops out around 90%, which means it's also still wrong a meaningful share of the time.
Stanford's SleepFM, published in Nature Medicine in January 2026, is the most consequential sleep paper of the year. Its own limitations section explains why it is not yet a clinical test.
Maccabi Healthcare Services studied 626 of its own physicians to work out who follows algorithmic prescribing advice — and found the pattern was about practice structure, not just attitude.
The announced lab pairs robotic wet labs with computational models in a continuous loop. It is a serious bet on a real bottleneck — and, so far, entirely a forward-looking statement.
Revised guidance reverses the 2022 position that a single recommendation made software a device. The agency's own criterion — that a clinician can independently review the basis — now carries the weight.
