With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
Location: Nashville, Tennessee.
Solution/Product: Medaxion was formed to simplify administrative processes and create a communication and information stream for anesthesia practices. Its first product is Pulse, an iPhone platform that allows anesthesiologists to enter billing data at the point of care and cloud software that allows the practices’ administrators to aggregate information from individual practitioners. The company says the mobile solution makes scheduling and communication easier, and reduces paperwork for anesthesia practices.
Money raised: About $801K from 13 investors, according to a regulatory filing.
How it will be used: A company representative did not respond to requests for more information.
A Personalized Approach to Medication Nonadherence
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
Investors: unknown.
Management team: More than 20 years ago, CEO Jeff McLaren co-founded HealthStream (NASDAQ:HSTM), a Nashville-based healthcare education and research company that went public in 2000. He also co-founded and led Safer Sleep LLC through an acquisition and three rounds of private equity investment before starting Medaxion in 2008.
Market opportunity: The American Society of Anesthesiologists has about 48,000 physician members. A few other mobile solutions targeting anesthesiologist charge capture exist, including CompONE’s ChargePad Anesthesia, Abeo’s Coder app and Medelix’s Pocket Anesthesia Pro. But many anesthesia practices may be customers of bigger companies that have created comprehensive but nonmobile systems to automate charge capture while also having clinical support functions, like McKesson, Omnicell and CareFusion.
