Mashup Score: 1Ready for Robots? – The Health Care Blog - 4 day(s) ago
When I was young, robots were Robby the Robot (Forbidden Planet, etc.), the unnamed robot in Lost in Space, or The Jetsons’ Rosey the Robot. Gen X and Millennials might think instead of the more malevolent Terminators (which, of course, are actually cyborgs). But Gen Z is likely to think of the running, jumping, back-flipping Atlas from Boston Dynamics, whose videos have entertained millions. Alas, last week Boston Dynamics announced it was discontinuing Atlas. “For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our

Relatient focuses on intelligent scheduling, specifically for the larger specialty groups. They touch over 50m patients and 45,000 providers a year, and are now a significant player in the key part of patient experience – converting a patient looking into an actual appointment with the provider.

Mashup Score: 1Digital Health 2024 - 10 day(s) ago
In 2021, the fast-tracking of remote patient monitoring, health data interoperability and virtual consultation delivery occurred out of necessity. This created scaled digital processes that are woefully inefficient and economically unsustainable.If the status quo is retained here, we squander the biggest opportunity for the industry’s advancement in half a century and fail to do right by our patients. We must not let this possibility unfold.It is in San Diego, on April 26th-27th 2022, that the standard is set by 300+ execs for the delivery of quality virtual, predictive, affordable and equitable care. At Digital Health 2022, we realise the transformative potential of technology in healthcare.

Mashup Score: 2Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) Trigger Universal Health Care in America? What do expert Academics say? – The Health Care Blog - 10 day(s) ago
In his book, “The Age of Diminished Expectations” (MIT Press/1994), Nobel Prize winner, Paul Krugman, famously wrote, “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything.” A year earlier, psychologist Karl E. Weich from the University of Michigan penned the term “sensemaking” based on his belief that the human mind was in fact the engine of productivity, and functioned like a biological computer which “receives input, processes the information, and delivers an output.” But comparing

The most interesting story I read in the past week doesn’t come from the more usual worlds of health and/or technology, but from sports. It’s not even really news, since it was announced last fall; it’s just that it wasn’t until last week that a U.S. publication (The New York Times) reported on it. In a nutshell, a Paris football (a.k.a. soccer) club is not charging its fans admission during the current season. For the first time in history, Paris FC is offering free tickets for all home matches at the

I am dipping into two rumbling controversies that probably only data nerds and chronic care management nerds care about, but as ever they reveal quite a bit about who has power and how the truth can get obfuscated in American health care. This piece is about the data nerds but hopefully will help non-nerds understand why this matters. (You’ll have to wait for the one about diabetes & chronic care). Think about data as a precious resource that drives economies, and then you’ll understand why there’s

Mashup Score: 0Tim O’Connell, CEO, emtelligent – The Health Care Blog - 16 day(s) ago
Tim O’ Connell discusses emtelligent’s capability to take unstructured clinical data and using NLP, match it to clinical ontologies and figure out what disease patients have, and enable payers and providers to do something about it – rather than payment codi ng which is what NLP has usually been used for. I spoke to him at HIMSS in March where he was launching emtelligent own new large language model (LLM). Anyone with a health data set is a potential client, but Tim thinks we can use all this data and

Mashup Score: 5Health Care’s Debt Problem – The Health Care Blog - 18 day(s) ago
Among the many things that infuriate me about the U.S. healthcare system, health systems sending their patients to collections – or even suing them – is pretty high on the list (especially when they are “non-profit” and./or faith-based organizations, which we should expect to behave better). There’s no doubt medical debt in the U.S. is a huge problem. Studies have found that more than 100 million people have medical debt, many of whom don’t think they’ll ever be able to pay it off.

Medicomp provides a medical database within an EMR and which delivers all the diagnoses and other information directly to the clinician. It represents the note to the physician as a SMART on FHIR app so that they can quickly find the information they need within their workflow. I had a quick catch up with CEO Dave Lareau, and asked him n ot only what Medicomp does but how all that generative AI has started to change this. He thinks that the output of LLMs and ambient AI will actually make a greater

When we all get robots to do all of our menial tasks a lot of things will change... @kimbbellard wants to point out that the social impact of this will be pretty amazing and may not necessarily make our lives easier. https://t.co/mtplYWjVEF
