The digital health landscape just shifted dramatically. In a stunning live showdown in China, an AI model officially outperformed human specialists in complex diagnoses, proving machine superiority in raw analysis.

Yet, two new studies remind us that tech needs a reality check. We are moving beyond hype to rigorously test if wearables are truly medical-grade, and research on an HIV app proves that unless tech is culturally tailored, it fails to connect. We are entering an era of super-human AI that still needs a very human touch. 🤖🩺📱
