4 ways the health care system should shift its thinking on AI, according to experts

05/05/23 – Stat – 4 ways the health care system should shift its thinking on AI, according to experts

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in various industries, and healthcare is no exception. As the potential of AI continues to unfold, experts have gathered at the recent 2023 STAT Breakthrough Summit to discuss its transformative impact on the healthcare system. Prominent figures in AI/ML: Nigam Shah, Suchi Saria, and Connor Landgraf shared their invaluable insights, shedding light on the four crucial ways in which the healthcare industry should shift its thinking regarding AI.

Amidst the increasing adoption of AI technologies, even the renowned “Godfather of AI,” Geoffrey Hinton, expressed concerns about the overwhelming power wielded by this disruptive technology. Recent months have witnessed a frenzy of efforts to harness AI in diverse sectors, and healthcare has been at the forefront of these groundbreaking endeavors.

As the boundaries of what is possible continue to be pushed, it becomes imperative for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to reflect on the optimal utilization of AI. This article explores the key takeaways from the discussions at the STAT Breakthrough Summit, offering insights into how the healthcare system should approach AI with a renewed mindset.

Read more about the four fundamental shifts in thinking that experts suggest are necessary for AI to truly revolutionize healthcare. By embracing these transformative concepts, the healthcare industry has the potential to unlock unprecedented advancements and redefine the standards of patient care.

Does Ethical AI Development Rely On The “Algorithmically” Underserved?

02/28/23 The Wall Street Journal –How Doctors Use AI to Help Diagnose Patients

Thrilled to see this thoughtful discussion in the The Wall Street Journal on the important work that Bayesian Health is doing with our incredible health system partners like LifeBridge Health.

Bayesian’s platform serves as a colleague / co-pilot for doctors and nurses. It empowers clinicians with real-time care signals to manage outcomes and cost while streamlining workflows to save time.

LifeBridge clinicians are forging the path forward for what great care looks like:

  • where we don’t miss any critical moments for patients,
  • where we can be proactive and not reactive about patient care, and
  • where we support clinicians with helpful tools to make their lives easier

We’ve already been able to see improvement in early recognition rates, reduction in treatment delays, significant reductions in length of stay, reduction in alarm fatigue and financial gain conservatively projected to the tune of ~$2Mi+ per 200 beds! And we’ve begun to expand in areas beyond sepsis!*

Data and Trust: Digital Transformation – The Impact of Machine Learning in Healthcare

,

1/03/23 – Duality – Data and Trust: Digital Transformation – The Impact of Machine Learning in Healthcare

An informative discussion between Prof. Shafi Goldwasser, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder of Duality and Suchi Saria, Founder of Bayesian Health focused on where digital transformation and healthcare meet, and how can it impact, improve, and lead to better outcomes?

Saria asks, can the public place their trust in advanced algorithms?

The answer is yes – but only after the public becomes more aware and educated about how models can read data objectively and help healthcare providers make critical decisions. The public should also be educated about how technology is extensively and rigorously validated to help blend human ingenuity with machine-driven decision making.

Once the digital transformation of healthcare is complete – and if done well – Saria hopes to see a significant reduction in mortality rates as well as in healthcare costs. And it’s within reach within as little as 10 years – driven by the innovative technology providers, with the deep expertise of statistics, machine learning and data privacy to optimize patient care.

2022 Year-End Review-AI: Artificial Intelligence Initiatives Accelerate in Healthcare

12/22/22 Healthcare Innovation – Year-End Review-AI: Artificial Intelligence Initiatives Accelerate in Healthcare

Amid the challenges of calendar year 2022, one of the bright spots was the acceleration in artificial intelligence-related activity—both clinical and non-clinical—in healthcare.

“Careful examination of the sepsis tool implementations have found that, when Suchi Saria’s team at Bayesian Health looked closely at the success levels of sepsis-alert algorithms, they found that the actual rates of improvement in intervention turned out to be far more modest than they appeared at first glance.

In fact, she said, ‘I’ve seen incorrect evaluation. People measured sepsis for mortality, then deployed the tool, then used billing code data, and evaluated. But it looks as though you’ve improved mortality, but there’s a dilution effect.’” In other words, it’s turning out that clinician and clinical informatics leaders must necessarily test out and recalibrate any algorithms developed elsewhere, in their own organizations, since, as Patterson told me, clinicians document inside their own organizations’ electronic health records in individual ways.

Navigating the ‘Wild West’ of AI adoption in healthcare

12/20/22 Modern Healthcare – Navigating the ‘Wild West’ of AI adoption in healthcare

Right now, clinical AI adoption in healthcare can feel like the ‘wild west’ due to the lag in the regulator’s ability to keep pace with the dynamics within the marketplace. Consequently, health systems are taking matters into their own hands, forming internal guardrails to measure performance and substantiate AI investments across their clinical ecosystems. Ultimately, it comes down to innovation, risk-appetite and, most importantly, trust.

Our founder and CEO, Dr. Suchi Saria is quoted – “You can have the best technology in the world, but if [care teams] don’t trust it, they won’t use it, and you can’t see any benefit”.

33 Biotech & Healthtech Companies to Watch in ’23

12/19/22 Business Insider – 33 Biotech and Healthtech Companies to Watch in 2023

Thrilled for Bayesian Health to be nominated to the Business Insider’s list of 33 startups to watch in 2023! The nomination news was even sweeter because it wasn’t from our existing investor base! Bayesian’s been on a ROLL since we came out of stealth last year including our most recent award at UCSF Digital Health Innovation where we were selected as top 3 among 1250 startups! We’re honored.

Care augmentation through AI done right (1) improves outcomes (2) creates caregiver capacity, (3) improves frontline experience, and (4) drives financial benefit in multiple ways! This is especially relevant in today’s environment where care delivery organizations are struggling with declining margins and staffing shortages. At Bayesian, we’re excited to be solving for these significant challenges by working with some of the smartest people and partners to invent the future of Intelligent Care Augmentation (ICA)!
