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)!

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

11/29/22 Forbes – Does Ethical AI Development Rely On The “Algorithmically” Underserved? CHAI’s Mission

CHAI co-founders Dr. Halamka and Dr. Anderson and CHAI member Suchi Saria of Bayesian Health discuss the importance and timeliness of CHAI’s mission, and share how the organization plans to prioritize patient safety, reliability, equity, transparency, and trust in the healthcare AI development process.

“AI as a field is evolving very rapidly. As a result, there is variable expertise amongst groups in how to go about implementing it correctly and evaluating whether what they’ve implemented is working. There is significant opportunity to accelerate AI adoption by sharing best practices and developing guardrails that the broader community (government, payor and provider groups) can benefit from.” Dr. Suchi Saria

Early detection of sepsis with the help of AI

11/20/22 Healthcare In Europe – Early detection of sepsis with the help of AI

Suchi Saria, PhD, director of the Machine Learning and Healthcare Lab at Johns Hopkins, who led this work, explains that TREWS automatically and continuously monitors disparate clinical data, including vital signs, laboratory data, medication history, procedure and clinical history, and physician notes. It generates a continuous real-time “sepsis score” that can trigger an alert to healthcare staff. Clinical caregivers can analyse why the TREWS alert was generated, accept or dismiss it, and initiate timely treatment on patients confirmed to be septic.

‘Our results showing high physician adoption and associated mortality and morbidity reductions are a milestone for the field of AI,’ comments Saria. ‘They are the culmination of nearly a decade of significant technological investment, deep collaboration, the development of novel techniques, and rigorous evaluation. Further, what’s most exciting here is that this approach is applicable not just to sepsis but to many other critical complications.’

Doctors Still Struggle to Diagnose a Condition That Kills More Americans Than Stroke

10/16/22 The Atlantic – Doctors Still Struggle to Diagnose a Condition That Kills More Americans Than Stroke

In July, Johns Hopkins researchers published a trio of studies in Nature Medicine and npj Digital Medicine showcasing an early-warning system that uses artificial intelligence. The system caught 82 percent of sepsis cases and significantly reduced mortality. While AI—in this case, machine learning—has long promised to improve health care, most studies demonstrating its benefits have been conducted using historical data sets. Sources told me that, to the best of their knowledge, when used on patients in real time, no AI algorithm has shown success at scale.

A New AI Tool May Help Detect Blood Poisoning

10/12/22 Smithsonian Magazine – A New, Transparent AI Tool May Help Detect Blood Poisoning

The most impressive aspect of TREWS, according to Zachary Lipton, an assistant professor of machine learning and operations research at Carnegie Mellon University, was not the model’s novelty, but the effort it must have taken to deploy it across five hospitals and 2,000 providers over a two-year period. “In this area, there is a tremendous amount of offline research,” Lipton said, but relatively few studies “actually make it to the level of being deployed widely in a major health system.” It’s so difficult to perform “in the wild” research like this, he added, because it requires collaborations across various disciplines, from product designers to systems engineers to administrators

What it takes for doctors to trust AI-triggered sepsis alerts

09/26/22 AMA – What it takes for doctors to trust AI-triggered sepsis alerts

Increasing adoption in sepsis AI with Bayesian. “This is a breakthrough in many ways,” said study co-author Albert W. Wu, MD, director of the Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Up to this point, most of these types of systems have guessed wrong much more often than they get it right. Those false alarms undermine confidence.”
