Nextech Supporting the Independent Ambulatory Practice
Independent clinical practices are in danger everywhere: if they don’t go out of business, large hospital chains tend to pipette them up. Bill Lucchini, CEO of Nextech, wants these independent practices to survive. Nextech’s EHRs and solutions for practice management and patient engagement software are highly specialized to Dermatology, Med Spa, Opthamology, Orthopedics, and Plastic Surgery in order to make it as efficient as possible.

NVIDIA In Healthcare: From Gaming To Medicine
Mostly renowned for its powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) used in the video game industry, NVIDIA is no stranger to healthcare. In fact, it has a dedicated branch to offer solutions that its computing platform can deliver in medicine and was among the first players significantly investing in AI.
These initiatives might have been seen with some confusion five or seven years ago but certainly gave NVIDIA an edge in the past two years. For example when almost a year ago this study was published. The authors trained a large language model for medical language and fine-tuned it across a wide range of clinical and ope...

A Peek At QuantumSI's Protein Sequencer
A number of academic labs and startups have been trying to build new ways of parallel sequencing of large numbers of peptides using schemes that have significant resemblance in their logic to the highly parallel DNA sequencing schemes often highlighted in this space; QuantumSI is the first (and so far only) such company to actually commercialize in this space. Resemblances to NGS but not identity - for a few important reasons.The biggest such challenge is the lack of anything resembling Watson-Crick basepairing in proteins. Sequencing chemistries almost invariably rely on basepairing, with the notable exceptions of Maxa...

What ’s behind all these assessments of digital health?
By MATTHEW HOLT
A decent amount of time in recent weeks has been spent hashing out the conflict over data. Who can access it? Who can use it for what? What do the new AI tools and analytics capabilities allow us to do? Of course the idea is that this is all about using data to improve patient care. Anyone who is anybody, from John Halamka at the Mayo Clinic down to the two guys with a dog in a garage building clinical workflows on ChatGPT, thinks they can improve the patient experience and improve outcomes at lower cost using AI.
But if we look at the recent changes to patient care, especially those brought on by dig...

Patient Experience Insights – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 139
For the 139th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast we are talking about the patient experience!

Lean Digital: How Apps and Services Can Help Control Weight
Is anyone not obsessed with weight? The health care field certainly is. Researchers have found ties between high body weight and an oversized list of unhealthy conditions. Payers have invested enormous amounts of money in decreasing individuals’ body weights. A Congressional bill would promote behavioral therapy for obesity and extend Medicare coverage for drugs treating obesity.
And yet weights continue to rise around the world, and the phenomenon starts at very young ages.
The rapidly expanding use of GLP-1 drugs has been life-altering for many, but brings its own disappointments: They’re extremely expensive, req...
