Digital transformation is revolutionizing how patients interact with the healthcare system. Join NYU Langone Health at the break to hear from Dr. Paul A. Testa, the organization's chief health informatics officer, about how innovation is improving the patient experience. Here's your morning TNB Tech minute for Wednesday, November 5th. I'm Zoe Culkin. For the Wall Street Journal, a sell off sparked by doubts over the AI trade is showing signs of fading out. Futures tied to the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 were flat, while contracts based on the S&P 500 and Dow Industrials held broadly steady despite US indexes notching their worst day in weeks yesterday. Wall Street's fear index, the VIX Index of equity volatility, ticked higher early Wednesday as investors question whether lofty valuations and massive AI outlays were justified. Staying on the topic of tech companies wrapped up in the AI race, many are in a rush to get electricity, creating a new windfall for manufacturing features of smaller, pricier power equipment that is readily available. While large natural gas turbines are a natural fit for data centers with big power needs, these often face years long wait lists and lengthy construction schedules. Instead, data centers are turning to more expensive off grid solutions that are more readily available, like Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cells, which use natural gas as fuel. Shares of Bloom Energy are up roughly 480% this year, and we're exclusively reporting the Motion Picture association sent Meta platforms a cease and desist letter last week over Instagram's use of the term PG13 in its descriptions of certain content. Instagram said last month it would implement a new System Consistent with PG13 movie ratings to protect teenage users on the app. The letter, which was viewed by the Wall Street Journal, said. Meta's assertions that content on Instagram's teen accounts would be guided by PG13 ratings are literally false and highly misleading. In a response to the letter, Meta said it never claimed the ratings were official and that references to PG13 quote, qualify as nominative fair use. That's your TNB Tech Minute. Join us again this afternoon for more for patients, the benefits of healthcare innovation can be felt in even the basic task of making a doctor's appointment. Here again is NYU Langone's Paul Testa. What we are seeing now is these tools are helping patients understand what their first, next best step is in their care journey. If we can make sure we have a right match with the right surgeon for the right problem and the right patient in the right location, all that coordination is a digital matrix that we are doing now.
