Apella Devotes AI to Process Improvement in Operating Rooms
Artificial Intelligence can exploit fairly simple technologies to create significant efficiencies. For operating rooms, Apella Technology uses four cameras, placed around the walls, to collect data that saves precious time.
I recently talked to David Schummers, founder and CEO of Apella, about their new AI-based service for hospitals. He discussed the kinds of problems they are trying to solve.
Time Is of the Essence
In ORs as in many other areas of health care, too many tasks that could be done well by computers are being assigned instead to people, with resulting errors and inefficiencies. Schummers estimates that half...

Electronic Health Records (EHR): How to Achieve Healthcare Data Accuracy with Artificial Intelligence
The following is a guest article by Ann Krutsko, Healthcare IT Researcher at ScienceSoft
In healthcare, working with inaccurate patient data is a dangerous game. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) were designed to streamline operations and improve coordination across healthcare systems. And while EHRs have largely benefited the organizations that have adopted them, data accuracy is still a point of concern. Data entry is still fraught with human error. However, innovations in the field in the way of artificial intelligence integrations are making significant strides in enhancing data quality in EHRs. From data validation to ...

Blood Tests for Alzheimer's Disease Continue to Look Promising
In recent years, data has shown correlations between specific blood biomarkers and Alzheimer's disease pathology in the brain, such as the burden of misfolded, aggregated amyloid-β. This has led to the development of a variety of blood tests for Alzheimer's disease, intended to replace the presently onerous testing that requires either expensive imaging or invasive analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. Alzheimer's disease develops slowly over time, a long period of raised amyloid-β levels in the brain setting the stage for later dysfunction. Early testing for the risk of later Alzheimer's disease enabled attempts to slow or e...

What did you do during the Facebook downtime, Daddy?
In a recent incident that caught the attention of billions of users, a major social media platform (Facebook) experienced a widespread outage, leaving users unable to access their accounts for several hours.

We all occasionally get “session expired” notifications but are able to log back in to our apps, many people faced with this tried and were then told their password was incorrect and 2FA systems failed. ...

RapidClaims Uses AI to Help US Healthcare Providers Address $250B in Denied Claims
RapidClaims Launches from Stealth with $3.1M Funding to Tackle the Core Issues Behind Claims Denial
Healthcare organizations are turning to automation with “revenue cycle management” to protect operating margins and the increasing claim denials from the payors. Every year, close to $265B in claims made by US healthcare organizations are denied because of the way claims are coded on payor documentation and delayed submissions are two chief reasons for the denials. Coding errors account for over 40% of claim denials, while untimely submissions contribute to 35% of denials; eligibility and prior authorization being some o...
