Should you bet on AI to replace doctors? Today's newsletter is a pragmatic guide through LLMs in healthcare settings. It's a status report of AI's current performance and future potential in real-life scenarios: ❌ how multiple choice is useless to assess clinical performance ⚠️ why clinical AI studies come to completely opposite conclusions ⏩ what it might take to replace doctors altogether Link in the comments. Which studies did I miss? Thanks to Altuna Akalın, Michael Byczkowski, PD Dr. med. Titus Brinker and many others for pointing me to the underlying research.

Worried about DeepSeek's impact on healthcare and LLMs? We tested DeepSeek's performance on 50 medical cases vs ChatGPT o1. The results: ✅ o1 is the clear winner ❌ DeepSeek wants to take your liver (I'll explain...) ✅ I would trust o1 over any med school graduate What's your take? Looking at the AI people here... Check out today's newsletter edition for details and implications. Link in the comments!

"Healthtech is such a transparent and open industry" -no founder or VC, ever   We should level the playing field, share mysteries like dealflow decisions, hospital economics and the latest tech. Let's begin...   ⏩ Next week, I am launching a European healthtech newsletter under Heal Capital's brand: Healthtech Off The Record. One with actual data and insider information - think gossip girl for healthcare.   There will be rules. What I promise: ❌ No buzzword fluff recycled from last week's X posts ❌ No random VC opinions without data backup ❌ No "my hamster died this morning, this is what I learned about CLA conversions"   In each letter, you will find at least one of these: ✅ Quantitative data from our dealflow or latest research ✅ Exclusive expert opinions from healthcare decision makers ✅ Stealth or little-known startups / technologies   First on the agenda are ChatGPT's and DeepSeek's performance in medical tasks and an inside look at founder salaries.   Sign-up link in the comments! Like, comment and share the FOMO 🤝 ... Thanks to Dr. Markus Müschenich, MPH, Eckhardt Weber, Vahid Asimi, Felix Nizet, Marta Mrozowicz and Christian Lautner for contributing to the cause!    P.S.: I've attached proof of my early research talent below

🌟 What an incredible Heal Capital Day 2024! Yesterday, we gathered the healthtech community for our annual portfolio day. Among startups, investors and experts in healthcare, we created a space to learn and share experiences. 🏑 The theme? Hockey-stick growth! We shared examples from our portfolio and discussed growth stories. And with the launch of our follow-up fund Heal Capital 2, the network keeps expanding.  A special shoutout to Prof. Ran Balicer, who spoke about healthcare in the AI era during a closed session with our Innovation Council. Later, he enriched our panel with controversial statements on LLMs and Co-Pilots in healthcare. Thanks also to Martin Fleischer for joining Eckhardt Weber on stage, showcasing the strength of partnerships with the German private health insurers. As he put it: "Success is when we’re not just cost-reimbursers but true partners in health, care, and prevention." Likewise, a big thank you to the PKV Verband der Privaten Krankenversicherung e.V. for their continuous support and capturing the day in photos and videos!   👏 Great to see our newest portfolio companies pitch on stage: GLEAMER, Handshake Health, Paloma Health, Heim, Parto & Spotlight Medical ------------------------- Christian Allouche Andrew Fowler Mark Jenkins Kelly Klifa Christoph Roling Sylvain Berlemont Bastian Biermann Christina Betz Christian Lautner Cecilia von Oldershausen Marta Mrozowicz Vahid Asimi Felix Nizet Justin Vibert Dr. Lucas Mittelmeier Dr. Markus Müschenich, MPH Peter Wibbe Dr. Christian Weiss
