Is AI a boon or bane for healthcare? This #PatientExperienceWeek, we take a closer look at the question on everyone's minds as they navigate the ever-evolving landscape of patient care. Peggy Greco, Ph.D., Chief Patient Experience Officer at Nemours, discussed this very thing at our recent Pediatric Collaborative, where she presented the potential of technology to enhance the human touch in healthcare. From virtual nursing to AI documentation tools, discover how these innovations are reshaping the patient experience and empowering providers.

One key reason why healthcare technologies like AI, telemedicine, and software haven't structurally lowered costs or broadened access for the entire system after decades of experimentation (excluding pure financial engineering of payer contracts) is the limited reimagining of care delivery itself, with asynchronous telemedicine as a notable exception. In the same way that digitizing physical paper failed to exploit the capabilities of a new computing medium for word processing, hosting physician-patient conversations over video does not transform the actual delivery of care. In telemedicine, many of the inputs (e.g., clinician time) and therefore cost structures of in-person care persist, which is why we often see fee-for-service telemedicine companies struggle to achieve economies of scale (i.e., growing revenues non-linearly while growing costs linearly). Until we deconstruct the components of a medical appointment – from intake and triage, to chart review, history gathering, physical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up – we will continue to be underwhelmed by the disconnect between the transformative potential of these technologies and real-world patient/system impact. I’m optimistic that the emergence of reliable and performant medical AI agents will urge us to perform this deconstruction and redesign the fundamental building blocks of a “medical appointment.”

Women's health isn't "niche" -- and it costs commercial health plans a LOT of money. "Women's health" has been an exploding category the last few years, with new startups targeting conditions that uniquely, differently, or disproportionately impact women coming to the forefront. We desperately need these solutions. Women's health has been historically understudied and underfunded, and many women are left to suffer as a result. It also makes business sense for employers & plans to invest in women's health. Underserved areas of women's health like gynecology, women-specific preventive care, & more surprisingly drive higher costs than maternity. It's just more difficult to spot in claims. As plans & employers start to learn about these costs (and, of course, how these conditions impact their employees/members), we'll see a continued upward trend in investment in women's health. #womenshealth #virtualcare #digitalhealth #healthtech

ICYMI — New The Heart of Healthcare Podcast! This week, Steve Kraus speaks with Abridge CEO Shivdev Rao, who’s building an AI-first healthcare company that’s reducing “pajama time” for clinicians. They discuss: - How Abridge differentiated itself early on through AI technology and go-to-market (GTM) strategy - The company’s ROI and anti-burnout metrics, like note quality and cognitive load - Clinician-AI collaboration vs. direct-to-consumer applications - The surprising parallels between managing an ICU and running a startup - The habits and mindsets that keep Shiv grounded while leading a fast-growing, mission-driven company Listen: https://lnkd.in/giNNAkH7

International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) featured an interview with Rhino Health COO Chris Laws in their most recent newsletter. The interview covers how Federated Computing can support value-based healthcare (VBHC) models and accelerate innovation in healthcare more broadly. "Rhino FCP enables many efforts that underlie VBHC – quality measure development and implementation, testing the validity and efficacy of AI models on diverse patient populations, and developing & deploying early detection as well as precision diagnostic models. Overall, Federated Computing offers a way to leverage the power of healthcare data while respecting patient privacy. This can lead to better, more efficient, and ultimately more cost-effective healthcare delivery, which is a core principle of value-based care."

Despite early predictions, AI hasn't replaced healthcare professionals but instead enhanced their roles. As Eric Topol, MD of Scripps Research notes, AI is freeing up doctors to engage more deeply with patients, changing the nature of medical consultations. #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare The potential for AI in healthcare is immense, from speeding up mammography to improving drug development. McKinsey reports (link in comment) AI could generate $60bn-$110bn annually for the pharma sector by accelerating drug approvals and optimizing marketing. 📈 Yet, the integration of AI in healthcare remains cautious. The human touch is irreplaceable in patient care, emphasizing the need for balance between technology and personal interaction. #PatientCentricity AI has not only sped up processes but also democratized patient care, shifting power back to the patient. This is a significant shift towards more empathetic healthcare, where technology supports rather than supplants human expertise. Education and training in AI are becoming essential for healthcare professionals. The future requires not just tech-savvy individuals but deeply empathetic ones. 👍 if you agree Follow xCures Read our LinkedIn Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dnNJV2ti https://xcures.com/ 👀

Good question Prof. Georgi Chaltikyan, MD, PhD, I think worldwide this could be already the case but not in Germany. We need to do a lot of work I would say. #digitalhealth #digitalization

~50 of the most brilliant healthtech innovators gathered at the 3rd annual Vive Collective Summit recently. I was honored to speak on the "Healthcare AI Panel" and share some lessons along with my co-panelists: - AI is revolutionizing healthcare in various ways, both intentional and unforeseen. Its integration has been largely without patient input, leading to concerns about its potential. - Patients need to trust AI for its full potential to scale.  - The industry needs specific health AI governance or increased tech governance to address liability, safety, and efficacy.  - Over the next 12 months, AI is predicted to make operational leaps, change the makeup of engineering teams, and potentially increase or decrease provider burnout depending on the allocation of extra time for patient care. Thanking Ritesh Patel for fantastic moderation!
