While the dawn of a new AI age is certainly exciting, healthcare leaders are still concerned that the industry lacks a comprehensive framework to regulate these new tools. In the absence of these guidelines, healthcare executives are creating their own governance strategies to deploy AI responsibly, executives said during a panel discussion on Thursday at MedCity News’ INVEST Digital Health conference in Dallas.
Cedars-Sinai published research in JAMA Cardiology this week on a algorithm it developed to detect atrial fibrillation in people not yet showing symptoms. The study found that the AI model does a good job of identifying hidden signals in common medical diagnostic testing and could help physicians better prevent strokes and other heart-related complications in people with atrial fibrillation.
At HLTH, Shaun Miller — Cedars-Sinai's chief medical information officer — pointed out one thing he thinks healthcare AI companies haven’t quite gotten right yet. He said he would “really like there to be a lot more recognition around the personalization of AI and the ability for technology to understand that not every clinician is the same.”
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
Russian hacker group Killnet has claimed responsibility for a string of recent cyberattacks that took more than a dozen hospital websites offline across the U.S. — including the websites for Cedars-Sinai, Michigan Medicine, and UPMC. The group has been active for at least a year and is known to target countries that support and/or send resources to Ukraine.
Experts think virtual reality (VR) can help address the country's rising levels of pain and anxiety. By flooding the brain with positive signals, VR experiences can act as a drug-free alternative to pain and mental health management — and hospitals across the nation are deploying the technology.
The company has struck partnerships with properties owned by Cedars-Sinai, BayCare and others, and is looking to build out some healthcare-specific features, such as medication management.
Chief patient experience officers from the Cleveland Clinic, Northwell Health and Cedars Sinai talk about how they are approaching patient engagement and experience in each of their health systems at the HLTH conference in Las Vegas.
The future looks bright for the integrated specialty pharmacy model – for health systems, providers, and most importantly, for patients.
The 11 companies in the accelerator's fifth cohort were drawn from around the United States and U.K. and are focused on everything from VR medical education to helping make patient feedback surveys easier to administer.
Virtual reality has evolved from being a technological novelty to a legitimate clinical tool in areas like chronic pain management and neurological rehab, leading experts to think through how best to integrate VR into healthcare.
As part of the newly announced pilot, more than 100 patient rooms at Cedars-Sinai are equipped with an Alexa-powered platform called Aiva, which patients can use to control their entertainment and interact with nurses.
Kristi Ebong has been hired by Orbita as its new senior vice president of strategy and general manager for healthcare providers.
Relying on everything from artificial intelligence to Bluetooth technology, the nine startups in the fourth class of the accelerator are working to solve problems related to patient consent, medical equipment tracking and more.
