How Lila Sciences' superintelligence platform can advance scientific research, AI technology’s promise in curing diseases and the risks the company is watching out for. Molly Gibson, president of future science, explains.

After SimpleHelp disclosed a security vulnerability in its remote monitoring and management tool earlier this year, threat actors are gaining access to U.S. networks and exploiting the flaw to steal data before shutting down operational systems.

Informatics leaders also have to be closely invested in their organization's goals, says Dr. Robert W. Warren, who offers advice drawn from a long career on bridging clinical and technological roles, making tough decisions and being a team leader.

Dr. Robert W. Warren, whose decades of experience include years as chief medical information officer at MUSC Health, describes paths to the top clinical IT role – and how training, continuing education and mentoring can help new CMIOs thrive.

The combined deployment of an enterprise-wide electronic health record with business and clinical analytics helped a health system deliver better patient care, among other benefits.

Small providers struggle for survival, and security risks only exacerbate the challenge. But by sharing technologies and making use of resources like virtual CISOs, some hospitals are staying ahead of their biggest closure risks.

The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity says it is now possible to track bacterial evolution in clinical settings in near real time.

It initially supports personalised cancer treatment based on the hospital's big clinical and genomic data.

Sheba Beyond, a virtual hospital affiliated with Israel's largest medical center, blends telemedicine with in-person visits to deliver hospital-quality care remotely. Its director general, Dr. Galia Barkai, explains.

Artificial intelligence alone is not the answer, says Charles Worthington of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Connecting AI-enabled insights like risk scoring to a larger healthcare program is what helps move the needle on outcomes.
