Doximity Report: Female Physicians Earn 26 Percent Less Than Men in 2024 

August 6, 2025

A recent Doximity report reveals growing pay disparities among physicians, with women earning 26% less than men as of 2024, despite similar levels of experience and specialty considerations. While the overall physician compensation rose by 3.7% last year, the increase was disproportionately higher for men at 5.7% compared to just 1.7% for women. Additionally, pediatric subspecialists face significant financial challenges, earning far less than their adult counterparts and reporting reimbursement issues that hinder early intervention efforts. This widening pay gap and financial strain may ultimately impact the quality of care provided, raising concerns among healthcare professionals regarding the sustainability of pediatric medicine.

Brain-Computer Interface Enables ALS Patient to Control iPad Using Only Thoughts

August 6, 2025

Synchron has achieved a breakthrough in assistive technology by enabling an ALS patient, Mark Jackson, to control an iPad using only his thoughts, facilitated by the Stentrode, an FDA-approved brain-computer interface (BCI). This innovative endovascular electrode array captures brain signals without invasive surgery, translating thoughts into digital actions to enhance device accessibility for individuals with paralysis. The BCI system's compatibility with Apple's Switch Control and the newly released BCI Human Interface Device standard underscores its potential to improve interaction with technology for disabled users. This development marks a significant step forward in the integration of advanced technology into everyday healthcare solutions, improving quality of life for patients with severe mobility challenges.

Ohio Enacts Tough Cybersecurity Rules for Local Governments to Combat Attacks

August 6, 2025

Ohio has implemented new cybersecurity regulations for local governments aimed at enhancing defenses against rising cyberattacks, including ransomware incidents affecting cities like Cleveland. The regulations require local authorities to establish cybersecurity policies and mandate public approval for any ransom payments, promoting transparency and accountability in financial dealings with cybercriminals. This approach is designed to deter hasty decisions regarding ransom payments and to encourage local governments to invest in robust cybersecurity measures, contributing to broader efforts to combat cybercrime. As attacks on government entities continue to grow in frequency and complexity, these regulations represent a critical step in strengthening the resilience of municipal operations against cyber threats.

Mayo Clinic Researchers Suggest ChatGPT, LLMs Reminiscent of Emperor's New Clothes

August 6, 2025

In this piece, Paul Cerrato and John Halamka, MD, of Mayo Clinic Platform critically compare today’s enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT to Hans Christian Andersen’s folktale of a vain emperor paraded naked amid widespread denial. They acknowledge promising uses of LLMs - such as boosting radiology interpretation and diagnostic accuracy when deployed in systems like Microsoft’s Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark (SDBench) and the MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO), which reportedly outperform physicians on complex simulated cases - but caution that these experiments rely on idealized, structured data far removed from the messiness of real-world clinical records. More concerning, they note, is that over-reliance on generative AI can promote mental “laziness” and diminish clinicians' critical thinking - a form of cognitive offloading that echoes the emperor’s folly of mistaking illusion for reality.
