Abstractive Health introduces new AI simulation for diagnostic training
Currently accessible via Abstractive Health's platform, the clinical solution allows medical professionals to engage with real historical medical cases, providing a risk-free environment for exploring rare and complex conditions.
Developed on a HIPAA-compliant platform that also facilitates the real-time summarisation of electronic health records (EHRs) in hospitals, Clinical Time Machine allows clinicians to delve into diagnostic cases from the past.
The solution does not require any direct EHR integration.
Abstractive Health CEO Vince Hartman said: 'Three years after ChatGPT, fewer than 1% of physicians have ever seen an AI full medical record summary. We're changing that.'
Each simulation begins with an AI-generated summary of original medical documents, some dating back hundreds of years.
Clinicians navigate through a structured chart, examining everything from the history of the current illness to laboratory results and vital signs.
They obtain simulated updates that reflect clinical observations made at the time.
Hartman added: 'It's not a quiz. It's about engaging clinical reasoning in a sandbox where doctors can make decisions and learn from them.'
The technology behind Clinical Time Machine is based on Abstractive Health's summarisation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic AI platform.
It utilises advanced optical character recognition (OCR) and an AI summarisation pipeline capable of transforming handwritten notes into coherent clinical narratives.
Currently, the summarisation solution is being trialled at Weill Cornell Medicine in a research partnership aimed at improving Emergency Medicine handoff notes.
Furthermore, Abstractive Health is set to expand the simulation's reach to outpatient clinics in Canada through a collaboration with WELL Health Technologies, which was established after an investment and distribution agreement last year.
"Abstractive Health introduces new AI simulation for diagnostic training" was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.

AI Tips for Parents
ChatGPT Tips for Parents How to use this AI tool to lighten your school-year load Alena Conley Forget downloading a dozen new apps. One smart AI tool, used well, can lighten the mental load of parenting. Here's how I trained ChatGPT to support my family. As a mom of four and a business owner, I live in motion. Between drop-offs, gymnastics practice, homework help and client meetings, I spend most of my day behind the wheel or behind schedule. Every August, the back-to-school season used to hit me like a freight train. But now? I have some help. However, it's not from another human — I trained ChatGPT to be my personal assistant. And here's the secret: the more your AI knows about your life, the more it can help you manage it. Start by Training Your AI to Know You Most people use ChatGPT like a fancy search engine. I treat it like a team member. My AI knows I have four kids (ages 4, 6, 8 and 10). It understands their learning profiles, extracurricular activities, even their zodiac signs. It knows we're on a budget, I shop at a certain grocery store, and my daughter is a competitive gymnast who trains 16 hours a week. So, when I ask for ideas for dinner, help write an email to a teacher or suggestions for spring break travel, it responds like someone who knows my family. To get started, open the ChatGPT app, go to custom instructions or memory settings, and tell it:• How many kids you have, their ages and learning styles• Where you live and where you shop• Key routines (sports, aftercare, allergies, screen time rules, etc.)• What overwhelms you the most The more context you give, the smarter and more helpful it becomes. Talk to It Like You Would a Human Assistant I use the voice feature in the ChatGPT app — not to be confused with standard voice-to-text —especially while driving. It's like having a conversation on speakerphone with the smartest, most helpful person you know. Here are five everyday back-to-school problems — and voice prompts I use to solve them: "I need a 3-day lunch plan with what's already in my fridge."Prompt: 'I have turkey, tortillas, apples and yogurt. Can you give me three school lunchbox ideas that don't require reheating?' "Where can I find affordable uniforms or school shoes?"Prompt: 'Can you find me deals on navy polos and khaki shorts for kids' sizes 6 and 8? I'd prefer Lands' End, French Toast or Old Navy.' "Help me organize carpool with two other families."Prompt: 'Can you draft a weekly schedule for a carpool between my house and two other families? We each want to drive one or two days per week.' "My son's teacher says he's behind in reading — what can I do?"Prompt: 'My 6-year-old has dyslexia and is behind in reading. Can you recommend five strategies or tools that help with decoding and comprehension?' "I have $150 to spend on school supplies for four kids — help me budget."Prompt: 'Give me a school supply list by grade level for a 2nd, 4th, 5th and kindergartener. Prioritize the essentials within a $150 budget.' Less Tech, More Ease AI doesn't have to be intimidating. You don't need five new apps this back-to-school season. You need one smart tool that works as hard as you do. The key? Teach it about your life — just as you would a new babysitter or human assistant. Once you do, ChatGPT becomes more than just another app. It becomes a calm voice in the chaos, helping you think, plan and breathe easier. So remember, this school year, you don't need a new routine, you need a new co-pilot. And with a little setup, ChatGPT can be exactly that. SIDEBAR: From the Assistant's Mouth: 7 Things ChatGPT Wants Busy Parents to KnowWhile writing this article, I asked ChatGPT what it thought would be helpful for busy parents like myself to know about its features. These were the responses:I remember the details that memory is turned on, I can retain key info — like your kids' names, routines, learning needs or your go-to grocery store — so I can offer more personalized and relevant answers over can talk to me — the voice feature in the ChatGPT app (tap the headphone icon) and speak naturally. I'll respond in real time, even while you're driving, folding laundry or waiting in the school pickup line.I handle the mental packing lists and grocery planning to email drafts and last-minute costume ideas — I've got it covered. Just tell me what's on your plate.I'm your brainstorming dinner, a class party or a thoughtful email to your child's teacher? I'll offer ideas, options and even affirmations when you need them most.I'm judgment-free and always available.I don't mind if you ask the same question twice. I don't sleep. I don't judge. I'm just here to help — anytime, day or night.I'm kid-friendly, to explain fractions to a 9-year-old? Or create a spelling quiz? I can adapt to your child's age, learning style and energy level — patience included.I get better the more we more we interact, the more I learn your tone, preferences and routines. Think of it like training the best assistant you've never had to Tip: Choose a voice that matches your voice feature lets you pick how I sound — and it really makes a difference. Whether you want soothing, upbeat or straight-to-the-point energy, there's a voice for that.

Man who asked ChatGPT about cutting out salt from his diet was hospitalized with hallucinations
A 60-year-old man spent three weeks being treated at a hospital after replacing table salt with sodium bromide following consultation with a popular artificial intelligence chatbot. Three physicians published a case report on the matter in the Annals of Internal Medicine earlier this month. According to the report, the man had no prior psychiatric history when he arrived at the hospital "expressing concern that his neighbor was poisoning him." The man shared that he had been distilling his own water at home and the report noted he seemed "paranoid" about water he was offered. Bromism, or high levels of bromide, was considered after a lab report and consultation with poison control, the report said. "In the first 24 hours of admission, he expressed increasing paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations, which, after attempting to escape, resulted in an involuntary psychiatric hold for grave disability," the case report said. Once his condition improved, the man shared that he had taken it upon himself to conduct a "personal experiment" to eliminate table salt from his diet after reading about its negative health effects. The report said he did this after consulting with ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence bot. He self-reported that the replacement went on for three months. The three physicians, all from the University of Washington, noted in the report that they did not have access to the patient's conversation logs with ChatGPT. However, they asked ChatGPT 3.5 on what chloride could be replaced with on their own. According to the report, the response they received included bromide. "Though the reply stated that context matters, it did not provide a specific health warning, nor did it inquire about why we wanted to know, as we presume a medical professional would do," the report said. A representative for OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company noted in a statement to Fox News that its terms of service state that the bot is not to be used in the treatment of any health condition. "We have safety teams working on reducing risks and have trained our AI systems to encourage people to seek professional guidance," the statement said. Bromide toxicity was a more common toxic syndrome in the early 1900s, the report said, as it was present in a number of over-the-counter medications. It was believed to contribute to 8% of psychiatric admissions at the time, according to the report. It's a rare syndrome but cases have re-emerged recently "as bromide-containing substances have become more readily available with widespread use of the internet," the report said.

GPT-5's most useful upgrade isn't speed — it's the multimodal improvements that matter
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. What is 'Multimodality'? In the case of an AI, multimodality is the ability to understand and interact with input beyond just text. That means voice, image or video input. A multimodal chatbot can work with multiple types of input and output. This week's GPT-5 upgrade to ChatGPT dramatically raises the chatbot's speed and performance when it comes to coding, math and response accuracy. But arguably the most useful improvement in the grand scheme of AI development will be its multimodal capabilities. ChatGPT-5 brings an enhanced voice mode and a better ability to process visual information. While Sam Altman didn't go into details on multimodality specifically in this week's GPT-5 reveal livestream, he previously confirmed to Bill Gates on an episode of the latter's podcast that ChatGPT is moving towards "speech in, speech out. Images. Eventually video." The improved voice mode courtesy of GPT-5 now works with custom GPTs and will adapts its tone and speech style based on user instruction. For example, you could ask it to slow down if it's going to fast or make the voice style a bit warmer if you feel the tone is too harsh. OpenAI has also confirmed the old Standard Voice Mode across all its models is being phased out over the next 30 days. Of course, the majority of interaction with ChatGPT, or any of its best alternatives, will be through text. But as AI becomes an increasing part of every human's digital lives, it will need to transition fully into predominantly multimodal input. We've seen this before; social media only really got going when it moved off laptops and desktops and onto smartphones. Suddenly, users could snap pictures and upload them with the same device. Whether or not it's your phone or — as Zuckerberg will have you believe — a set of the best smart glasses is beside the point. The most successful AI will be the one that can make sense of the world around it. Why does this matter? GPT‑5 has been designed to natively handle (and generate) across multiple different types of data within a single model. Previous iterations had used a plugin-style approach so moving away from that should result in more seamless interactions, whichever type of input you choose. There are a huge amount of benefits to a more robust multimodal AI, including for users who may have hearing or sight impairments. The ability to refine the responses from the chatbot to suit disabilities will do wonders for tech accessibility. There are a huge amount of benefits to a more robust multimodal AI, including for users who may have hearing or sight impairments. The increasing use of voice mode could be what drives the adoption of ChatGPT Plus, since the premium tier has unlimited responses while free users are still limited to a select number of hours. Meanwhile, improved image understanding means that, for example, the AI will be less prone to hallucinations when analyzing a chart or a picture you give it. That works in tandem with the tool's "Visual Workspace" feature that means it can interact with charts and diagrams. In turn, this will also train ChatGPT to produce better and more accurate images when prompted. If you think about this in an educational context, it's going to be a huge help. Especially since GPT-5 can now understand information across much longer stretches of conversation — users can refer back to images earlier in the conversation and it will remember them. While everyone knows that AI image generation has a dark side, there's no doubt that effective multimodality is the future of AI models and it'll be interesting to see what Google Gemini's response is to these GPT-5 upgrades.
