Clinicians have a responsibility to understand the risks posed by AI chatbots and to inform teen patients, their parents and caregivers about them.
If trust, transparency, and accountability remain core values in medicine, AI governance cannot be left to improvisation.
Inspiren, a company selling an AI-powered senior living platform, raised $70 million in Series C funding led by NewView Capital. The platform uses ambient sensors and computer vision to predict falls before they happen.
The problem is not that companies have failed to make easy-to-use applications. Rather, it’s that there have been limitations to what software can realistically do in a modern healthcare environment.
Imprivata CEO Fran Rosch said AI agents should be treated similarly to the way hospitals treat a new contract nurse — vetted, monitored and then cut off as soon as the job is done.
Healthcare decision-makers, especially at pharmaceutical companies, must prioritize patient input. Data collected from social media listening is a significant step in the right direction.
Michelle Watson, Lifepoint Health's chief nurse executive, believes ambient listening and AI-powered patient prioritization are helping nurses reclaim time on tasks that don't require clinical judgment. The goal is to free nurses up for the work that actually requires their expertise.
The path forward requires much more than whack-a-mole point solution replacement. It requires a more critical look at redesigning the entire workflow architecture

Faster trials are not a vanity metric. They reflect an undeniable need: getting safe therapies to patients sooner.
August has seen a slew of executive hires, exits and layoffs across the healthcare industry. For instance, Humana, Merck and Mayo Clinic named new executives. There were also layoffs at organizations including MaineHealth, Cellares and Sharp HealthCare.
If AI is not one of the CEO’s top two or three priorities, the organization will produce pilots and slide decks while better-mobilized peers pull ahead and the institution’s ability to fulfill its mission erodes
