The difference between that last era and this one isn’t incremental. It’s categorical. Artificial intelligence isn’t optimizing the old system. It’s making the old system economically indefensible.
The MedTech giants remain indispensable in driving large-scale adoption and validating the market, but the smaller players are increasingly showing us what the future of robotics care can look like.
By reducing administrative burden and redesigning workflows around human needs, it creates space for what matters most: connection between clinicians and patients.
It’s not the flashiest technologies or rapid-speed AI breakthroughs that can do it. It’s the technologies laser-focused on the unglamorous but all-consuming coordination problems that suck up medical staff’s time, stress them out, and compromise patient care.
Clinging to our old models is equivalent to waiting for failure. We need to embrace the tools, team structures, and delivery models that this ongoing crisis demands.
Outdated technology doesn't serve patients or nurses — but by listening to and acting on their concerns we can create innovative new solutions that have the potential to transform healthcare.
The industry has thrown tech at the problem, consolidated, and invested in every which way. But we haven't fundamentally rethought how care is designed, delivered, or sustained. And until we do, no amount of technology will restore what healthcare has lost: its humanity. Here's how to do that.
Enterprise EHR boosts scalability, interoperability, and governance for large healthcare systems.
In today’s environment, standing still is the riskiest strategy of all. But to move from plateau to progress, GI practices must redefine what growth looks like.
We’ve seen how transformative innovation can be when supported by focused investment. But if we want to continue advancing healthcare in meaningful ways, we must expand our lens and invest in the spaces that have been left behind.
The trouble is that our technical colleagues know how to build beautiful products, but most have not worked within the four walls of healthcare, very seldom within the operating room. As a result, they do not know what will work or what is sufficient to drive engagement. What's needed is collaboration.
Cedars-Sinai and Redesign Health launched a new innovation center seeking to build digital health startups from the ground up. These startups will focus on four main areas: care access, personalized medicine, provider workflows and care coordination.
How to turn analytics into actual policy outcomes.
The current wave of generative AI has captured public imagination, but we must temper our expectations. While these models demonstrate impressive capabilities in processing vast amounts of medical literature and generating coherent text, they're far from perfect.
Justin Brueck, vice president of innovation and research at Endeavor Health, shared three main reasons that technology pilots end up being unsuccessful at health systems.
While adopting new technology is obviously a big part of healthcare innovation teams’ work, there are plenty of worthwhile initiatives that don’t involve advanced technologies, pointed out Dan Shoenthal, chief innovation officer at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
A panel discussion of hospital executives at the ViVE event last month offered insight into the challenges of implementing innovation and what they have learned from their experiences.
General Catalyst just announced its plans to acquire Summa Health, an Ohio-based health system. Leaders from across the healthcare industry aren't sure how the deal will play out, given the novel nature of the deal and the involvement of one of the country’s most prominent VC firms.
