An interesting study that looked at how often major LLMs gave accurate advice about diet and exercise compared to established cardiology guidelines. Overall the LLMs advice correlated 80-90% with established guidelines. The results suggest that patients may be able to use LLMs for general advice about cardiology related diet and exercise, but should still discuss with their cardiology team specific diet and exercise advice for their own personal situation. image

The Trump Administration looms over many up coming elections, including New Jersey's race for governor 🇺🇸 Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill worked to tie Republican Jack Ciattarelli to the Trump Administration, while Ciattarelli stressed his independence from the White House while defending some of the Trump Administration’s signature moves Sunday night. The New Jersey race, along with the governor’s race in Virginia could provide early clues for how voters are responding to the Trump Administration. Trump, who has endorsed Ciattarelli, lost both states by 6 percentage points last year. image

American Hotels in Trouble as Tourists Sour on Visiting US 🇺🇸 "If we do not turn things around to support the livelihood of millions of workers, and protect the trillions of dollars invested in millions of hospitality businesses, we run the risk of forcing many small and medium business owners to shut down." said Dev. The causes are multifactorial and include the Trump Administration’s Border Control detaining international tourists without legal justification. The economic blow for hotels is expected to be severe. Analysts Tourism Economics projects a loss of $8.3 billion for the industry in 2025, WTTC places it at $12.5 billion and Forbes warns the shortfall could be up to $29 billion this year. image

AI voice agents can help patients with more timely and convenient follow up of their high blood pressure according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association’s Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2025. The patients were contacted by the AI voice agent to provide recent blood pressure readings or to conduct live measurements during the call. A blood pressure reading outside the threshold range for readings resulted in the call being escalated to a licensed nurse or medical assistant. The presence of symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision or chest pain also prompted escalation of the call. Call routing and referrals for care management were prompted for patients with difficult-to-control high blood pressure. This process reduced the manual workload by clinicians and resulted in an 88.7% lower cost-per-reading. image

Jerome Powell warns there’s ‘no risk-free path’ to avoid stagflation: ‘We have a situation where we have two-sided risk’ The Fed decided to cut interest rates to fight recently increasing unemployment, however this will also increase inflation on top of the expected increased inflation due to the Republican’s recent spending bill and in addition to higher prices from the Trump Administration’s tariffs. Assuming the Trump Administration doesn’t make any other economically detrimental policy changes, the US seems to be entering a stagflation era, as prices increase more Americans will spend less money and more Americans will be laid off by businesses losing money, so we should all plan for this. 🇺🇸 image
