Artificial Intelligence

The imaging giant is releasing new dynamic digital radiography and ultrasound point-of-care capabilities and is also presenting its latest research enhancing DDR with artificial intelligence.

Sumit Rana, head of research and development, discusses how the EHR giant’s system uses AI to generate progress notes, create draft responses to patient questions and assist with medical coding. And how AI sometimes can be more empathetic than a person.

Dr. Eve Cunningham, an expert in applied technologies and care transformation, previews her panel at the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum next month, and talks effective approaches to scaling AI systems for optimal value.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine says GPT-4 correctly diagnosed 52.7% of complex cases compared to only 36% of medical journal readers.  

Patients who have used Upswing instead of traditional musculoskeletal approaches have consumed 38% fewer MSK services – 61% fewer injections, 49% less surgery, 46% fewer physical therapy/chiropractic visits, 30% less imaging and 25% fewer ER visits.

Also, major military hospitals in Uzbekistan have started adopting AI medical image screening solutions from VUNO.

Dr Yujia Gao, assistant group CTO at the National University Health System, shares some developments in NUHS holomedicine research.

"Through my involvement with HIMSS Europe and EMRAM stage 7 validations, I’ve observed that the most successful organisations in healthcare IT are those with a stable, digital-savvy culture."

HIMSS23 Europe Startup PitchFest winner Doctomatic captures and assesses remote patient measurements using visual AI. Carmen Pauline Rios Benton, cofounder of the Spanish startup, shares the details.

More than 85% of health systems are increasing their spend on digital health and information technology projects, a new survey shows, with cybersecurity and electronic health record modernization topping the list.
