Here’s your recap of last week’s health IT news 🗞️ 👇 🤖 AI Clinician Assistant • Avaamo launched an AI ambient scribe solution with support for over 50 specialties with pre-trained models. • Wound AI, an AI clinical decision support solution built by VANTIQ, Telemedicine Solutions, LLC, and NTT DATA, launched and is now available 📞 AI Contact Center • Premier Inc. awarded a group purchasing agreement to TeleVox Healthcare. 🏥 AI Facility Management • Medely has integrated with Oracle, allowing users to leverage Oracle’s Cloud HCM capabilities. 🌡️ AI Remote Patient Monitoring and Triage • The Alliance for Smart Healthcare Excellence—established by care.ai, now a part of Stryker, and developed with assistance from CHIME—was established to promote the Smart Hospital Maturity Model (SHMM). 📈 Data & Analytics • Epic expanded its set of APIs available to developers to support USCDI v3. • Health Catalyst will acquire Intraprise Health, a cybersecurity provider; it was also selected for analytics and interoperability by CyncHealth, Iowa’s health information exchange (HIE). • Health Commons Project acquired OneHealthPort • Socially Determined released a new application that helps organizations access data for minors. 🧾 Orders & Fulfillment • Surescripts is expanding its Medication History for Populations product to health plans, enabling care management teams to identify gaps in care and improve outcomes. 🧑‍💻 Virtual & At-Home Care • Mass General Brigham launched a partnership with the New England Center and Home for Veterans to provide hospital at home services for veterans experiencing homelessness. • MedStar Health expanded its partnership with DispatchHealth to support care transitions.    🍎 VBC • i2i Population Health is partnering with CureMD to surface actionable data to providers at the point of care. 🧠 Food For Thought • Brendan Keeler shared an interesting post differentiating AI solutions across augmentative vs. autonomous and then further breaking down each. One take we found interesting was, “Active interfaces are fun, but ultimately have some of the same problems as Siri - they require explicit engagement and cognitive overhead to use. This means their adoption and impact often fall short of expectations - users must actively remember to use them and overcome the friction of engagement.” https://lnkd.in/eR39qFpK --- Want the latest healthcare tech news delivered to your inbox each week?

A few days ago I attended the strategy meeting of a portfolio #startup. Like all of our Synapse Partners portfolio companies, this one provides #AI solutions to #enterprise customers. Their initial success is in the medical devices industry. While reviewing the company’s sales pipeline and the progress of delivering the company’s solution to signed customers, several of the enterprise’s struggles with #generativeAI became evident. These struggles can be attributed to a lack of people with the right background and the state of the #enterprisedata.

In healthcare, data alone doesn’t mean much. The real magic happens when we turn that raw data into "actionable insights"—and that’s where the real impact on patient care begins. At NirogGyan | Smart Health Reports & AI, I’ve personally seen how converting complex lab data into simple, meaningful insights can completely change how patients and doctors interact. It’s not just about presenting results—it’s about giving people the power to understand their health and take action. Whether it’s catching early warning signs or fine-tuning treatment, those insights are what drive proactive healthcare. Data is just the start. What we do with it is what truly makes a difference. #HealthData #PatientCare #ActionableInsights #NirogGyan #HealthTech

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.”

some fabulous intereviews with Jensen Huang CEO Nvidia last week - as the Stock Market reportings and all ‘that-stuff’ was getting reported. Some summary! Yes - DATA is here and is exponential It’s a TOOL so wellness industry folks...what does this mean?? ..well ‘wellcome’ (all pun intended) to #gatecrashthefuturenow.. make DATA --- MEANINGFUL & PERSONAL HEY*!*..let’s term this Ai 2.0....A and two i’s Access innate intelligence --- the tao of ‘common-sense’ - and the flow that FEEL is everything!....yes happiness isn’t a number it’s a FEELing A ‘fitness’ / wellness (whatever you want to term) is based on human-stuff. The truth is DAT doesn’t determine BEHAVIOR-CHANGE...emotion drives that FEELING! Here’s an example for you to marinate....how many calories can you burn in a x-minute exercise? These data points, while instructive, lack a certain HUMAN quality that connects them to our lived experience. ...Knowing the calorie burn rate on a mile run doesn't encapsulate how that run FELT, or how you FEEL when you realize it was your best mile time yet. Data quantifies but it doesn’t do FEEL Mohammed Iqbal Jim Crowell transform data 2 art --- so you can add your FEELing Dave Wright David Stalker FCIMSPA amplify the MEANING of those quantifications Bryan K.

Great conversation with Dave Marver, CEO of ONWARD Medical at the Web Summit. Onward's device is expecting FDA approval very soon - it will be the first therapy shown to restore movement for people with paralysis, available at scale. "Having an investment from SCI Ventures and highly respected institutions like the Reeve Foundation is an imprimatur of credibility for Onward. It has helped us raise capital, and attract talent ... it has really been quite an important boost. SCI Ventures is vitally important to the field" Thank you Dave Marver (ONWARD Medical) for the kind words, and Katherine Ward (Global News) for the conversation!

Another great Boston Generative AI meetup with Judah Phillips. He assembled a great panel Clement Cazalot from Machinery Partner, Patricia Geli from C10 Labs, Jeff Catlin from InMoment, Nathan Treloar from Orbita Questions and Answers included Healthcare and biotech using generative AI and the challenges East Coast vs West in the AI race: which cost is better to live and work in? How Massachusetts is working with the government to be an AI leader. A vital answer from the panelists for AI startups is that it is essential to build abstract layers as generative #AI models are constantly changing rapidly. You never want to be locked into one model. The best statement came from the last meetup when a panelist stated, "We are in the first inning of the AI game." What we see today will be vastly different one year from now. #WSIWorld #generativeAI

“𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩... 90%-95% 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜... 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩.” Dr. Romil Chadha, CMIO at UK HealthCare, is one of the most thoughtful guests we’ve had on the podcast. You can tell Dr. Chadha thinks deeply about the implications of technology on patient care. We chatted: → Why CMIOs should get clinicians who pitch tech solutions to first illustrate the desired process on paper… because it often turns out the right solution isn’t even tech at all → Why sometimes we might actually want Friction instead of Automation in healthcare workflows → Why Patient Experience and Clinician Well-Being are the most important measures… and why too many KPIs (especially the wrong ones) is detrimental to healthcare → Why using money is generally a bad tactic to incentivize the right behaviours in healthcare … and much, much more!

Zoom Expands into Healthcare with AI Technology Zoom, which rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now looking to expand its presence in healthcare through artificial intelligence. The company has announced plans to incorporate ambient AI documentation technology, in collaboration with digital health company Suki, into its clinical platform. This technology will turn recordings of doctor-patient conversations into usable clinical notes within the electronic health record for both virtual and in-person visits. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts as demand for digital healthcare increases. Zoom joins an already crowded market of competitors, including Teladoc, Amwell, and eVisit. One challenge facing the company is the lack of consensus on telehealth reimbursement for providers. COVID-19 pandemic era waivers that extended telehealth reimbursement flexibilities are set to expire on Dec. 31 without congressional action. In the absence of federal rules, each state has its own set of reimbursement regulations.
