I spent my winter break redesigning the Health app with an AI focused approach starting with clinical records.

The goal here was to help patients get a deeper understanding of their own records, with the eventual goal of enabling continuous health monitoring and personalized health suggestions.

Christmas came early! 🎅🏻 Today marks the newest release of the HuggingChat 🤗 update with some really exciting capabilities! First up, automatic context injection!

1) Open a file in a supported app, summon HFChat, and it pre-populates the context window. No more copy-pasting. /cc @hf.co
