The Shifting Landscape of AI Regulations in Healthcare III

As we discussed in the last post in this series, there are new developments in the regulation of health AI products. While the FDA is one key body in clearing these solutions for their efficacy and safety, given that they’re not requiring real-world studies of the safety and the outcome improvements with these solutions, their […]

The Shifting Landscape of AI Regulations in Healthcare II

In the last post, I discussed how a lower bar for clearing AI products by the FDA has not led to the faster adoption of these products by the medical community and in fact, it may be a major contributor to the slower adoption. When institutions have confidence that the products they’re buying have been […]

The Shifting Landscape of AI Regulations in Healthcare I

While there has been an explosion of FDA-approved health AI products, most have not yet gained much traction in the everyday clinical workflows. There are several reasons for this. First, it’s important to understand the difference between how the FDA provides approval or clearance to a drug or medical device versus how it tackles a […]

AI Medical Coding V

In the final post in this series, I’ll discuss the approaches that can make a very necessary and tedious part of administering healthcare more automated and where it can go from here. If you examine the autonomous coding efforts over the last decade or so, it started with using historical billing data that using statistics […]

One of the things that has kept healthcare from becoming more convenient and cost-effective is the complexity of its processes. Human being are complex in every imaginable way possible. When a condition is diagnosed, there may be many aspects of the care that are delivered by different specialties and departments. All of this requires tight […]

While finding and marking the right codes for a medical encounter or procedure seems like a trivial task in the big scheme of things, it is actually rather important. Allow me to elaborate. Not only those codes are used to submit charges for reimbursement, they are also used for monitoring public health issues, national statistics, […]

AI Medical Coding I

While everyone is talking about how impactful AI will be in healthcare, I’ve been emphasizing that the long-term impact of this powerful technology will be beyond our wildest imagination but the rollout will be slower than expected. I’ve also been talking about the fact that each use cases needs to be stood up with great […]

Can AI finally usher in the era of population health management at scale? Part II

The core issue that makes managing a population’s health is that by asking providers to carry out population health management, we’re asking them to take on activities that are outside their traditional role, training and daily workflow.  It requires checking in with patients outside of the clinical setting and addressing barriers such as financial issues, […]

AI in Stress Management and Sleep

More than half of adults globally suffer from insufficient sleep, according to a study by Wakefield Research. This is bad news, because the lack of sleep can contribute to a number of major health issues like heart disease, and all of this places our society (and our healthcare systems) under a huge amount of financial […]
