👀 One-Liner That Got Me Excited
Today’s biggest wow moment: someone just used generative AI to “bidirectionally translate” cell morphology and gene expression—meaning you can look at what a cell looks like and predict what genes it’s expressing.

🔥 Top 10 Must-Reads
1. COSMIC: Read Gene Expression Straight from Cell Morphology
Used to be you’d either look at cells or sequence their genes—never both at once. Now COSMIC breaks that wall down. Trained on 21 million cell nuclei, this framework predicts gene expression from cell morphology and works in reverse too. In prostate cancer cells, it can even tell which ones respond to chemo and which ones are playing dead. For drug screening and tumor research? Game changer.
2. Deep Learning Sees Right Through Tumors: Benign or Malignant? Where’d It Come From?
Pathologists’ nightmare: you get a slide—is this tumor malignant? Where’s the primary site? This Nature sub-journal study uses deep learning on whole-slide images (WSI) to nail both the malignancy call and tumor origin prediction, whether it’s cytology or histopathology. Pathology diagnostics are about to get a serious speed and accuracy boost.
3. OpenHealth: Your Health Data Finally Has a Home
⭐ 3,788 stars. An open-source AI health assistant with one killer feature: “your data, your rules.” Consolidates all your health data in one place, then AI helps you make sense of it. For anyone drowning in fragmented health app data, this could be the lifeline. Self-hosted, privacy-first, developers are losing their minds over it.
4. Open-Wearables: The “Universal Adapter” for Wearable Device Data
Smartbands, watches, rings—each one has its own app and data format. Want to analyze them together? Nightmare fuel. This open-source project gives you a self-hosted platform that unifies all wearable health data into one AI-ready API. For developers building health analytics or AI apps, this is infrastructure-level gold.
5. SparkyFitness: AI Health Tracking for the Whole Family
⭐ 2,062 stars. Not just for you—for the whole crew. Food, workouts, water intake, health metrics—track it all together as a family. AI-powered, clean interface. Perfect for families trying to build healthy habits together.
6. Awesome AI Agents for Healthcare: Your Healthcare AI Agent Resource Hub
⭐ 573 stars. Want to stay on top of AI Agents in healthcare? This repo is your starting point. Packed with papers, projects, and resources on medical AI agents. Saves you hours of digging if you’re getting into this space or tracking the latest moves.
7. WellAlly-Health: Claude-Powered Intelligent Health Assistant
⭐ 646 stars. A health assistant built on Claude AI that logs symptoms, manages meds, tracks medical history, and even does multidisciplinary case analysis. Natural language interface, super low barrier to entry. Great for regular users who want AI managing their personal health.
8. DeepPurpose: Deep Learning Toolkit for Drug-Target Prediction
⭐ 1,122 stars. A veteran in the AI pharma toolkit space, specializing in drug-target interaction (DTI), drug properties, and protein function prediction. If you’re doing computational biology or AI drug discovery, this saves you serious time and effort.
9. HealthChain: The “Middleware” for Medical AI
Anyone building medical AI knows: training the model is just day one. Plugging it into hospital systems, handling data pipelines, staying compliant—that’s where the real pain lives. HealthChain wants to be that middleware layer, connecting your AI models to healthcare infrastructure. Star count is modest (177), but the direction is super practical.
10. LLM Clinical Questioning Efficiency Benchmark: How Good Are AI Doctors at Asking Questions?
AI doctors need more than just answers—they need to ask the right questions. This research built a benchmark specifically for evaluating how well large language models perform at clinical questioning. Spoiler: current LLMs have tons of room to improve. Essential reading if you’re building an AI diagnostic product.
