Artificial Intelligence

The use of AI in medical imaging or Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), such as GE’s Centricity Universal Viewer, can be a great way to reduce the ever-increasing workloads of radiologists and clinicians, since AI is particularly effective in detection and segmentation of any irregularities in imaging data and providing radiologists/clinicians additional diagnostic confidence.

The cloud-hosted, voice-enabled system will be designed and built with close input along the way from clinicians and IT staff, with an eye toward eventual deployment enterprise-wide.

Seven administrative and clinical executives from across the health system discuss efforts from an electronic ICU to an AI symptom checker to ‘smart hospital’ tech.

At the HIMSS Connected Health Conference, Bob Coughlin, president and CEO of Mass Biotech Council, offers his expert view of how these two areas of healthcare will impact each other in the future.

Dr. Steven Charlap, CEO of GeneYes, a digital health startup aimed at giving physicians greater insights by improving data management capabilities, says, "We need to redefine what is a doctor."

The health system will pilot new software from the startup, which makes cloud-based predictive tools aimed at the emergency department.

During National Health IT Week, three experts put the focus on how digital technologies and smart care approaches are already transforming population health and helping address social determinants.

Hôpitaux Robert Schumain and Hanalytics Sàrl have signed an MoU to set up the BioMind diagnostic support system.

Last week, GE Healthcare officially launched the Edison AI platform in Shanghai, China at its Digital Ecosystem Forum event.

As data collected from computer hardware becomes more valuable than the hardware itself, traditional makers of diagnostics, surgical tools and medical devices should be partnering with developers of sensors and analytics tools, it says.
