Mount Sinai to Use AI to Detect Mental Health Concerns
The $20 million project, funded by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), will include researchers from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Columbia and Carnegie Mellon Universities and use ambient tools developed by Deliberate AI.
Predictive AI Helps Providers Plan Patient Care
At West Tennessee Healthcare, executives say they’ve saved more than $5 million over the past year by using an AI platform from Xsolis to review patient data, enabling them to predict when a patient will be discharged and communicate with payers on authorizations and any denials.
Are Healthcare Leaders Getting Their AI Priorities Straight?
Schwamm says the healthcare industry has become “accustomed” and “complacent” in healthcare IT, and Ai is presenting healthcare leaders with issues they haven’t encountered before. The AI evolution, he pointed out, is similar to the development of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, but health systems and hospitals haven’t developed the governance to regulate these tools before they’re used.
The Clock is Ticking on Telemedicine Prescriptions
The Alliance for Connected Care is preparing stakeholder letters to the White House and Senate and House leadership urging them to put pressure on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to extend for two years a pandemic-era waiver allowing providers to use telemedicine. Extending the waiver, currently set to end this year, would give the DEA time to create a long-sought registration process for those prescriptions.
MetroHealth Achieves Interoperability Between Visitor Management and EMR Platforms for Secure, Real-Time Patient Visitor Monitoring
From the early planning stages of construction, MetroHealth leaders placed a high priority on the safety and security of their patients, visitors, and staff. Implementing a visitor management system was one way to enable this requirement.
HHS Drops Plan to Restrict Hospital Use of Data-Tracking Tech
The rule stated that entities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) “are not permitted to use tracking technologies in a manner that would result in impermissible disclosures of PHI to tracking technology vendors or any other violations of HIPAA Rules.”
The Future of AI In Healthcare Is Not a Zero-Sum Game
The idea of “an AI arms race” between payers and providers toward a more efficient future is troubling in its own right. It adds to the perception of the future of artificial intelligence in healthcare as a zero-sum game, with health insurance companies on one side and clinicians on the other.
Can Alzheimer’s Be Diagnosed by an Eye Test?
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are touting the results of three recent studies that indicate an eye test could be used to assess the eye-brain connection, which would allow clinicians to diagnose Alzheimer’s earlier and begin treatment.
Telehealth and Remote Monitoring: Shaping the Future of Patient Care
Few people fully understand or appreciate how telehealth defines the care landscape today. It’s even more unknown how telehealth will shape the future of healthcare. This article aims to put it all into perspective with an overview of the current state of telehealth, its benefits, and the technological innovations driving its growth.

New Research Uses AI to Guide Radiation Treatment Protocols
In a study published in JACC: CardioOncology, a team from Brigham and Woman’s Hospital used an AI tool to better understand the risk of cardiac arrhythmia for patients undergoing radiation treatment for lung cancer. The results not only could lead to better treatment plans but also improve care for the estimated 1 in 6 patients who experience severe side effects, including death.
