Artificial Intelligence

There have been many big changes in health and tech policy so far in the president's second term, and there will probably be many more to come. An attorney discusses how health IT developers should be charting strategic course for the years ahead.

Empowering patients with a broader and more inclusive view of what's possible can lead to more personalized care, says one CEO. Failing to do so means AI will always fall short of its true potential to support better outcomes.

With prebuilt artificial intelligence tools and open APIs, health systems can use the cloud-agnostic tech to develop and deploy real-time analytics that could improve operational efficiencies and care delivery outcomes.

Anurag Mehta, Omega Healthcare CEO, says using LLMs to analyze claim denial letters and create tailored appeals can drive efficiency, but humans must always be in the loop to approve or edit the resulting documents.

Also, Gleneagles Hospital Chennai in India is embarking on brain health research to develop AI-powered solutions.

In addition to HIMSS25 Europe, Hal Wolf, HIMSS president and CEO, says HIMSS has partnered with Informa on the WHX Tech conference in Dubai and is actively working with the WHO and the EC to help "redesign" European digital health.

"These are real lives, potentially extended or saved because an AI system surfaced the right data at the right time, and our teams were equipped to act on it," says the health system's COO. And the tech has helped boost the case closure rate by 50%.

The DGX Cloud Lepton service will make the company's artificial intelligence graphics processing units directly available to developers seeking compute resources across various cloud platforms.  

MedGemma, built on Gemma 3, aims to help developers build AI-based healthcare applications with open models, including multimodal and text-only versions.  

"By making it faster and easier to use the most up-to-date guidelines at the point of care, we anticipate a more consistent application of best practices, which can contribute to improved patient trajectories," says the hospital's CMIO.
