@lalibre.be il y a un y a un problème dans l’app : à chaque article où il y a une publicité Google, une partie du texte au-dessus disparaît (principalement sur les côtés). L’app et os sont bien mis à jour. Et votre formulaire de rapport de bug ne veux pas de mon texte. C’est embêtant

Notes en passant: how AI could unlearn in HEOR Modelling In a recent paper, Tinglong Dai, Risa Wolf, and Haiyang Yang wrote about unlearning in Medical AI. With more and more CPU and storage thrown at Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Artificia…

What to look for at ISPOR25 – Artificial Intelligence After Modelling and Regulations & Pricing, and just a few days before ISPOR25, here is my take on the potentially interesting sessions on Artificial Intelligence (AI, which generally means: the…

Since the advent of #GenAI, #ISPOR conferences were flooded with sessions on #AI and #HEOR. This #ISPOR25 finally sees some “âge de raison” as I scan interesting sessions in this post: jepoirrier.org/2025/05/11/w... See you in Montréal to discuss AI?

What to look for at ISPOR 2025 – Regulations & pricing ISPOR 2025 is now in about two weeks and in this second post about sessions to look for, I’ll talk about regulations and pricing (this is part of a series: last week, I wrote about Modelling;…

I started preparing to attend #ISPOR25 and wrote 2 blog posts about some interesting sessions and panels on #HEOR and #Modelling (jepoirrier.org/2025/04/21/w...) and some on #IRA, JCA, and other investment-focused: jepoirrier.org/2025/04/28/w... Is anyone else going to Montréal in May?

Thank you for the thread and references! I was also wondering how this could benefit the other countries at the expense of the USA. Intuitively, if country A imposes tariffs on countries B & C, B & C could strengthen their trades, flourish and leave A alone in a corner. Any examples from the past?

I don’t want to enable the US government. I totally respect Canadians who openly push back on US bullying & I understand the threat of invasion. I wish EU leaders would be more vocal and active against US bullying. The threat here is to be left alone by our US former “ally” in case of Russian threat

As a European, why would I willingly visit the US?
I lived there for 4 years, I have best Americans friends who have completely different opinions than mine. I know not coming will hurt the US economy, not buying will hurt US jobs & people. Why would I be willingly bullied by the US government?

OpenAI says Chinese rivals using its work for their AI apps ChatGPT maker says it will need extra protection from US government, following emergence of Chinese rival, DeepSeek.

It’s a bit ironic that established #AI established players are now crying wolf about #DeepSeek and intellectual property when all LLMs are basically a large repository of stolen intellectual property www.bbc.com/news/article... #IP

Employer Costs from Respiratory Infections - OHE Our latest research shows respiratory infections cost UK businesses £44 billion a year. Workplace vaccination programs and health-focused policies could help boost productivity, reduce costs, and addr...

OHE published new data from a #UK survey about the #cost of #absenteeism and #presenteeism due to infectious diseases for employers: www.ohe.org/publications... This is not a new conclusion, not peer-reviewed and sponsored by Pfizer (2 resp vaccines). But it is reasonably transparent 👍 #vaccineswork

#ISPOREurope once more ended with many interesting talks and people met (but still missing daily posts on social media). I will remember that many groups are still in 2023 on #AI (and fortunately some evolved in a kind of “âge de raison”). #HEOR

Found it! I’ll add it as the 4th interesting but concurrent session at that time 😅 Evaluating MS, its progression and the real impact of interventions is crucial for patients, we should talk! (Otherwise, happy to meet you on Bluesky!)

I appreciate the irony of being called “parasitic” by self-proclaimed “pharma man”! 😂😉 Nice to meet you here, happy to meet you in person at ISPOR!

Let’s troll a little bit! 😈 A few weeks ago, a buzzword #bingo was published for #HEOR and #GenAI. It’s funny that, out of context, most of these buzzwords were used in a course by the same author, this morning at #ISPOREU 😉 But I encourage you to read the context: www.linkedin.com/posts/svenkl...

The use of #AI in #HEOR is rapidly developing and this introduction at #ISPOREU brings you from zero to “hero” in a few hours with a smooth stepwise approach (not shying away from Python code! 👍)

Even the palm “trees” in front of the conference center adopted the #ISPOREU colours!
