🚨 Calling all surgeons involved in local excision of significant rectal polyps and cancers! We invite you to complete 𝒂 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒂. 🔗 Follow the link or QR code to register your views and inform the field https://lnkd.in/eaFNPndS As part of the CLASSICA project, we are validating the use of fluorescence angiography coupled with AI to accurately classify rectal lesions in situ. This survey explores the current practices and perspectives of colorectal surgeons regarding local excision of rectal neoplasia. It should take 2-3 minutes to complete.

Excited to see 2 new collaborative papers with great colleagues fresh off the presses: The first one with Sebastian Porsdam Mann and I. Glenn Cohen examines "The #EU #AI #Act: Implications for #US #Health #Care" and was published in NEJM AI. It is available at: https://lnkd.in/dwAvunjk From the abstract: „This article analyzes the AIA’s key implications for physicians and medical innovators in the United States. We examine the Act’s risk-based approach, extraterritorial reach, and potential to influence global medical AI policy. We outline the key provisions of the AIA for medical AI systems and discuss its measures to support innovation. As implementation begins, U.S. health care stakeholders must engage proactively with this new regulatory landscape to remain competitive and gain access to the EU market.“ The second article with Charlotte A. Tschider and Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci is „open access“ and focuses on cross-border #health #data #sharing and discusses "The new EU-US data protection framework's implications for healthcare“. It is now available at the Journal of Law & the Biosciences (Oxford University Press ) at: https://lnkd.in/dsi2d354 From the abstract: „This article highlights the DPF’s potential impact on the healthcare and research sectors, finding that the DPF may not provide the degree of lawful health data transfer desirable for healthcare entities. We examine the DPF against a background of existing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act obligations and other GDPR transfer tools to offer alternatives that can improve the likelihood of reliable, lawful health data transfer between the US and EU.“ CeBIL , The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School , University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Law , CLASSICA project , Novo Nordisk Foundation, Charlotte Schöller , Mikkel Bülow Skovborg
