AI Uncovers Other Patients Like You to Support Doctors
Outside of common conditions, most doctors see only a few cases of some problem in their entire career. That’s why students and residents gather eagerly around hospital patients who were diagnosed with a rare condition. These doctors can’t compare large numbers of patients with a certain condition to see what works for each patient and why some respond to a treatment that fails on other patients.
But take common conditions that doctors see every day. Even here, exams and tests usually don’t detect the condition until it hits a certain stage. Treating it at an earlier stage could vastly improve the outcome...

Fully Automated Medical Scribes Using AI
As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of all the efforts going on to improve the physician documentation process. It’s a burden that’s burning out physicians. One of the biggest efforts out there right now is called Ambient Clinical Voice. The biggest player in this right now is Nuance (now part of Microsoft) and their DAX product (They like to call it ambient clinical intelligence). 3M through MModal is playing in this space as well. Suki is another AI assistant that’s taking a very different approach to the problem. Plus, there are also a number of scribe companies literally putting peop...

Retaining Patients and Employees in Healthcare
Health care institutions, like many colleges and businesses, have trouble retaining people. Tiffany A.S. Wright, vice president of operations at CareMax, says that it’s one thing to engage with patients but a much bigger challenge to retain them.
Retention is particularly key to maintain the funding for fee-for-value programs, which are growing in popularity. What if you spend a year investing heavily to improve the health of a patient, only to see her leave and give another institution the benefits of your investment?
This video is therefore important viewing for anyone concerned with making a fee-for-value program ...

The Business of Diabetes: Dexcom Spends Big on Super Bowl Ad to Hype New G7 Claiming " Feels Like Magic " ; But the Ad Isn't Magic
This month was the U.S. NFL ' s Super Bowl #57; the two teams which played one another were the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City (Missouri) Chiefs, and the Kansas City Chiefs were the winners in a close game throughout. For a moment, let ' s just overlook that Kansas City ' s team name is rooted in the same racism against indigenous native Americans (after all, the team ' s logo is an arrowhead, which was created by native Americans) the same view ultimately forced the old Washington Redskins to change the team name to the Washington Commanders), and let ' s instead focus on this year ' s game advertising.

Demo of the LG TV Integration with Amwell
At a recent conference, I had a chance to chat with Atul Singh, General Manager, Digital Health at LG Electronics about their virtual care solution with Amwell. It makes a lot of sense why Amwell and LG would want to work together. Many hospitals and healthcare organizations have already installed LG TVs in their organizations or they will as they build new hospitals or update their existing exam rooms. Those TVs often act as a hub of information for a patient and increasingly are becoming a patients connection with their nurses and doctors.
Given that final piece, LG and Amwell have partnered to launch what they cal...

Healthcare IT Departments Need to Plan for Explosive IoMT Growth
The expected explosion in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) represents both an opportunity and a challenge for healthcare IT departments. Connected medical devices hold the promise of improved workflows and data gathering which can lead to improve patient outcomes.

It is important to start IoMT planning now so that you don’t have a large technical debt to pay in the future.
