Health Note Updates the Tired Old Patient Questionnaire
This article discusses the service provided by Health Note, which illustrates the capabilities of modern patient interaction using AI and integration with the EHR.
Even a standard questionnaire can advance us five minutes into a normal fifteen-minute interview. But Health Note can do much better. According to chief technical officer Aaron Rau, their service goes far beyond asking the conventional questions.
Health Note digs into the EHR, using AI, and combines the information found with its own medical knowledge to ask the questions a doctor would normally ask during a visit. “When did the pain start? Has it gotten b...

A young man with persistent palpitations
Written by Pendell MeyersA teenager was playing basketball when he suddenly developed palpitations and lightheadedness. He presented soon afterward at the Emergency Department with ongoing symptoms. Mentation and blood pressure were normal. He had no chest pain or shortness of breath. Heart rates on the monitor fluctuated from 180-250 bpm.Here is his triage ECG:What do you think?The ECG shows an irregularly irregular polymorphic wide complex rhythm, with some R-R intervals as short as approximately 220 msec or even less. But it is not disorganized enough to be polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. The rhythm is therefo...

Patient Self-Scheduling Has Reached a Tipping Point
The Digital Health Tipping Point report released in December 2023 by Panda Health provides key insights into the value that healthcare leaders see in digital health technologies. The report’s findings give a clear indication where investments are likely going to be made and where they may be scaled back.
In other words, the report shows which digital health technologies have tipped into the “must-have” category.
To get the inside scoop on the report, Healthcare IT Today sat down with Ryan Bengtson, President and COO at Panda Health. We had three key questions for him:
What is the top “must-have” technology?

Concerning Health IT Trends: What Can We Do and What Happens if We Do Nothing?
There are so many exciting new ideas and technologies being implemented in the field of healthcare. For the most part, these changes can be the very necessary answer to a problem we’ve been facing for a long time. But sometimes, these changes can be concerning. While everyone seems to be excited about it, you might be left with questions and concerns about what its impact will be. These worries and concerns can be very isolating when the topic is trending with seemingly everyone else being excited for it. But you are not alone with your doubts – so let’s unburden ourselves and air out these concerns. What...

The Role Of AI In Healthcare Cybersecurity: Enhancing Threat Detection
Conclusion
AI is not a magic bullet – it requires careful implementation, testing, and oversight to be effective. AI models must be continuously trained and validated to detect new attack patterns while minimizing false positives. However, AI technologies certainly have the potential to accelerate threat detection, improve visibility across hybrid healthcare networks, enhance third-party risk management, and ultimately enable more proactive and resilient cyber defenses. As cyber threats become more aggressive and complex, AI-driven security solutions will become a mission-critical investment for healthcare organizati...

Predicting myocardial viability from surface ECG following MI
Once upon a time, long, long ago, cardiologists used to be worried about akinetic segments, scars, dead tissue, and Q waves before attempting revascularization by either PCI or CABG. Now, the concept of myocardial viability has become a cliché ( rather demeaning) at least within the cath labs. Currently ,we follow a self administered whip . Every post-MI patient should be considered for revascularization as a default strategy irrespective of the level of dysfunction or scarring .This can happen either in the IRA territory or non-IRA territory or both.
This strategy is now dis-armed with fresh evidence in the form ...

Epigenetic Clocks Do Not Only Measure Epigenetic Drift
Epigenetic clocks are produced from data on the status of DNA methylation at CpG sites in the genome at various ages via machine learning processes. Thus it is unclear as to what the clocks actually measure. There is no catalog to state how and why each CpG site on the genome is or is not methylated at any given time. There is little to no understanding of the mechanistic links between specific epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation and specific mechanisms and states of aging. In that context, the work here is interesting, demonstrating that stochastic epigenetic dysregulation with age, known as epigenetic drift, contrib...

Reviewing the Data on Human Use of Rapamycin
Rapamycin and some of the later rapalog derivatives such as everolimus, all of which function via inhibition of mTOR, are arguably the best of the present crop of geroprotective drugs capable of modestly slowing aging and extending life in animal studies. The effects of rapamycin in mice are robust and repeatable, though never as large as we'd all like them to be. Like many of the other interventions that modestly slow aging in animal models these small molecule drugs mimic some of the effects of calorie restriction, and likely produce benefits largely through increased efficiency of the cell maintenance processes of autop...

Context Makes Innovaccer More than a Note Generator
This video presents the current and upcoming features of the ambient clinical voice solutions from Innovaccer, notably its InScribe analytics tool. It is currently offered in ambulatory settings and integrates with major EHRs.
According to Abhinav Shashank, CEO and co-founder, the chief differentiating factor of InScribe comes from its integration with other systems: clinical, claims, and labs data. Dr. David Nace, chief medical officer, says that the tool draws on a “holistic, 360-degree” patient record and goes far beyond basic SOAP notes, able to produce the much more complex initial notes and consult note...
