The promise of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care offers substantial opportunities to improve patient and clinical team outcomes, reduce costs, and influence population health. Current data generation greatly exceeds human cognitive capacity to effectively manage information, and AI is likely to have an important and complementary role to human cognition to support delivery of personalized health care.1 For example, recent innovations in AI have shown high levels of accuracy in imaging and signal detection tasks and are considered among the most mature tools in this domain.2
However, there are challenges in realizing the potential for AI in health care. Disconnects between reality and expectations have led to prior precipitous declines in use of the technology, termed AI winters, and another such event is possible, especially in health care.3 Today, AI has outsized market expectations and technology sector investments. Current challenges include using biased data for AI model development, applying AI outside of populations represented in the training and validation data sets, disregarding the effects of possible unintended consequences on care or the patient-clinician relationship, and limited data about actual effects on patient outcomes and cost of care.
2016 IBM Interconnect - medical devices transformationElizabeth Koumpan
Emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, 3D Printing are driving the creation of new business models and forcing the Industry for transformation. The product centric model where the Industry main objective was to develop the device, is moving to software and services model, with the focus on Big Data & Analytics, Integration and Cloud.
The maturation of technologies such as social, mobile, analytics, cloud, 3D printing, bio- and nanotechnology are rapidly shifting the competitive landscape. These emerging technologies create an environment that is connected and open, simple and intelligent, fast and scalable. Organizations must embrace disruptive technologies to drive innovation
2018 has finally arrived, and healthcare companies’ executives from both small and big firms have hit the ground running. With technological artificial intelligence and new drugs in the industry, below are 6 healthcare predictions for 2018.
In this report we set out ten provocative statements predicting the world of 2020. Each prediction is articulated and brought to life through a series of portraits which imagine how patients, healthcare professionals and life sciences organizations might behave in this new world. Our predictions lean more towards an optimistic view of the future, although we organized that many in our industry are organized about the constraints and therefore pace of change. We describe the big trends rolled forward to 2020 and some of the constraints that will need to be overcome.
We also provide examples and evidence, based on the here and now, that show that the predictions are perfectly plausible, perhaps inspiring and surprising!
Our industry is changing quickly – requiring a bold response that is often difficult to implement – and yet organizations struggle to understand how to respond effectively and build a sense of urgency. We hope this report creates rich dialogue and enables a move to action.– we have had enormous fun discussing these predictions and sharing our experiences. We hope you have the same experience within your own organizations as you peruse this report and reflect on your current situation and future scenarios.

Digitalisation Of Healthcare - Towards A Better Future - Free Download E bookkevin brown
Digital health has been around for quite some
time. Advancements in technology, rising
demand for better care, and governments' focus
on improved health economy have contributed
to the digital transformation in the healthcare
sector. Healthcare providers and professionals
are continuously challenged to come up with
innovative and cost-effective ways of providing
effective care and better patient outcomes.
In the past few years, digital technologies
have changed the healthcare landscape into
becoming more patient-centric, with care givers
focusing on engaging patients and improving
their experiences.
According a Deloitte report, global healthcare
spending is estimated to cross US$10 trillion by
2022. As the global healthcare market embraces
digitalisation, innovation has a major role to
play. Healthcare companies have been investing
heavily in digital technologies to drive innovation
and value-based care, while making care giving
more accessible and efficient. Digitalisation results
in better usage of patient data by care givers
enabling them to offer personalised healthcare
to the patients.
Abstract:
Currently, there is a convergence of three key factors in the global landscape that creates an opportunity for the research community to make fundamental contributions to improving the quality of life of every single citizen. Conversely, failure to recognize and act on this phenomenon may have disastrous effects on multiple levels. The first factor is the unprecedented focus and willingness to invest in the healthcare industry. The second factor is the fact that the prime directive of the healthcare sector, i.e. nothing interferes with the delivery of care, has ramifications on every aspect of information technology used in this domain. The final factor is the recognition that patient empowerment and buy-in will be critical for the advance of health information technology. These factors highlight the fact that there are inherent assumptions in the existing access models that render them ineffective and not applicable for long term use in the healthcare field.
This talk will highlight all these issues and challenge the research community to delve more the industry-specific constraints that require further innovation in the space; possibly necessitating a re-examination of the core assumptions in the field.

With the increasing adoption of telemedicine, wearable devices, mobile health apps (especially during the recent COVID-19 pandemic) and VR/AR; digital health is poised to take healthcare forward.
New digital health technology is coming out every day and is changing the course of the MedTech industry as we know it. Many physicians are making the transition to using these digital health devices and technologies to improve patient care and outcomes. Some of this increase can be attributed to COVID-19 of course as it enabled them to provide care for patients remotely. However, many of these digital health devices and technologies have been around for a bit, so what caused the hesitation in adapting them sooner and what are some of the great perks of this new wave of medical care?
Healthcare data and its impact upon the patient care decision process via accurate, real-time, reliable data from disparate sources is creating a digital health revolution. Data-driven healthcare is beginning to have a huge impact addressing the challenges of every provider, through efficient handling of huge volumes of patient care data.
Providers need to move towards real-time analytics that have become critical to demonstrate their quality of care, as reimbursement by government programs can be contingent upon how providers are measured in “Quality of Care”. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, also called the Permanent Doc Fix, changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed with the implementation of a merit based incentive. The performance-based pressure is huge, which makes it imperative that every provider consider technology solutions. Read more at https://www.solix.com/solutions/data-driven-solutions/healthcare/

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

2. Revealing Healthcare Barriers
and Opportunities
HIMSS, Accenture, The Chartis Group, and ZS conducted a study that included a
series of SMEs from all scopes within the health network to reveal the most pressing
healthcare barriers the public faces today and provide insight into opportunities to
address these challenges.
The four areas HIMSS and their Trust partners focused on to design their quantitative
approach and offer critical takeaways included artificial intelligence (AI), digital
health, and machine learning (L) ad financial health. The information gathered from
the market profile covered March – April of this year and represented a cross-section
of 309 clinicians, 225 health systems workers, 147 payers, and 2,062 patients, total-
ling 2,743 respondents.
The survey included questions on artificial intelligence, digital health, machine learn-
ing, and financial health; the questions focus on access to healthcare, availability of
data, and healthcare costs.
The HIMSS - Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society -is a
thought leader, global advisor, and member association committed to transmuting the
health care ecosystem.

Members and healthcare professionals from all walks of life, CEOs, Senior Executives, Entrepreneurs, IT Consultants, and others have been
attending the HIMSS Conference, one of the industry's most influential conferences and trade shows, for almost 60 years.
The increasingly digital nature in healthcare has created novel opportunities. Companies are developing new products and
approaches to overcoming obstacles; successful collaboration among all parties is vital. Strategic planning will be essential in
these areas.
Innovative new products transform industries daily; the pace of change has accelerated due to vast technological developments
such as the internet, wireless technology, and smartphones. The healthcare stakeholder groups represented within the HIMSS21
report— clinicians, health systems, patients, and payers—all expect considerable changes to impact healthcare over the next five
years. The complexity of the healthcare sector and the medical care delivery ecosystem is under increasing pressure due to chang-
es in patient expectations and rising costs. The inherent nature of the industry combined with those pressures makes innovation
in healthcare more complicated than in other sectors.
HIMSS and the trust partners examine the various types of financial and non-financial barriers that a significant segment of
the population must deal with, along with opportunities that have introduced new proposals for addressing these barriers

Digital Health
Annually, over 3.6 million Americans don't get medical care, and 4% of Ameri-
can children miss their medical appointments due to transportation issues. One
of the biggest and fastest initiatives to be deployed during the pandemic was
Telehealth. Healthcare leaders sought new ways to bring healthcare to the
patient, introducing Telehealth to the public., making it accessible to anyone
with a Smartphone, laptop, or computer.
Telehealth technology is easing the healthcare disparity gap for those affected,
helping provide better access to healthcare. Telehealth is showing promise for
equitable healthcare access. Though telemedicine won't solve all healthcare delivery, it equalizes some of the disparities in
access among the vulnerable and underserved. Here we examine and how telemedicine can help address some of the critical
barriers to healthcare access.
The pandemic propelled digital health utilization to new heights, creating challenges throughout healthcare and promising last-
ing impacts. By keeping close tabs on digital health trends, healthcare leaders can unearth future opportunities for innovation
and proactively invest in the necessary tools and technology.

Although health caregivers were expeditious in implementing telehealth, the most significant barrier to implementing this technology was
not lack in patient demand—52% of providers indicated that the hesitancy to utilize telehealth was caused by uncertainty regarding regula-
tory reimbursement and internal management. In addition, the lack of interoperability between systems presents a challenge.
In this digitally-expanded post-pandemic environment, clinicians are now shifting their focus to gain a competitive edge; tracking such things
as KPIs and outcomes has become significantly more critical. Telehealth can also bridge geography by providing remote access to specialists
and other services. Additionally, telemedicine services don't require insurance—many telehealth platforms offer telemedicine at no addition-
al cost to the uninsured.
The consensus is that the pandemic has inspired the use and acceptance of virtual healthcare. Eighty percent (80%) of healthcare providers
trust that their patient's health information is well-protected. However, concerns continue as cybersecurity attacks continue.
The most significant concern expressed by those in the Payer group was that there would have to be substantial changes made to govern-
ment regulations and payment structure. Additional concerns of interoperability (60%), privacy and security (40%) were also identified as
top concerns.
71% of Gen Z, millennials and Gen X patients stated that they prefer Telehealth because of convenience—avoiding in-person care. 44% said
that if Telehealth is not offered, they may look for a new healthcare provider

Only 30% of healthcare systems have
implemented AI/ML strategies—yet 68%
believe they must grow AI/ML investment to
achieve enterprise goals. Concerns ranking high-
est in this category included cybersecurity, insur-
ance, and fraud prevention. Many respondents
remained concerned that AI/ML might create
risks and increase healthcare inequity.
Over 77% of Clinicians stated that they are
now/ are interested in using AI/ML. Opportuni-
ties for training clinicians abound; ONLY one in
five have received formal training thus far. One of
the top-most benefits cited (52%) was better
diagnosis with AI.
62% of Payers cited reported that the most
substantial challenges to innovation are technol-
ogy-related. They also stated that AI/ML capabil-
ities need improvement and that more payers
should adopt AI/ML.
When patient responses were analyzed,
some of the most significant concerns was access
to their health data, with a large segment citing
"big brother" sentiment. However, over 75% of
the respondents were eager to share health data
for the enhanced benefits of a more accurate
diagnosis, early detection, and more timely treat-
ment.

Financial Health
Perceptions of financial health are mixed at this time. The current financial
health is questionable as they struggle to pull themselves out of the pandemic's
financial devastation. The good news is that the economy is flattening out, and
the jobless rate is declining. But we are not out of the woods yet as new strains
of the virus continue to cause havoc globally.
The ageing population also has made a considerable impact. The challenges to
the bottom line can help leaders identify opportunities to create greater effi-
ciencies in healthcare.
Partnerships and cost efficiencies contribute significantly to a health system's revenue stream, improving its financial posi-
tion—a hospital's primary revenue contender is another hospital. Although a health system's direct revenue stream is primarily
fee-for-service, value-based care now contributes a more sizeable share of revenue dollars to the bottom line.

Clinicians report the pandemic's financial
impact as manageable: 70% described their
current financial position as stable, with only 12%
saying they're somewhat or highly financially
unstable.
Unequivocally, over 79% of patient
respondents stated that healthcare costs are
excessively high. Alternately, this same group
was satisfied with their health insurance (70%).
According to payers, more payment reform is
necessary, especially since providers are increas-
ingly adopting value-based care. An ageing popu-
lation increases in healthcare utilization and
better safety measures are all driving up health-
care costs.

Health Systems
It is generally accepted that the COVID-19 crisis necessitated digital health
options—and that it's here for the duration, according to Thomas Kiesau, direc-
tor and digital leader for The Chartis Group. He states that the pandemic accel-
erated the need for those options.
As a result of this high interest, 70% of health system respondents said that the
position of a chief digital officer is on the horizon for many of them. Others con-
firmed that patient portals have already been established but are not delivering
the same patient care across the board.
Here again, technical issues are not the holdback to the adoption of digital health—it is the overly complicated reimbursement
and regulatory systems. Health systems readily acknowledge the opportunities AI/ML delivers but are not persuaded of their
worth. Further, the consensus is that operational and technical issues can be resolved. Thomas Kiesau is adamant that health
systems should embrace and invest in transitioning to digital health.

Clinicians According to Darryl Gibbings-Isaac, MD, Accenture's health strategy, growth and innovation expert, clini-
cians have demonstrated copious amounts of resiliency in dealing with the new norm. However, for the past year
and a half, most healthcare workers have been continually overworked due to the COVID19 pandemic, so learning
and adopting new systems, new methods of care, or new devices has taken a backseat to urgent care. Yet they
remain optimistic-- 65% said they'd recommend the profession, 86% said they are generally satisfied with their
career, and 92% recommend digital health tools to patients.
Digital health cannot be disruptive or clinicians won't use it; issues accessing appropriate data, a lack of integration,
security concerns, and a lack of interoperability are all problems, according to Dr. Gibbings-Isaac. However, he antic-
ipates those numbers to change and that the number of clinicians using AI/ML will increase in the near future.
Payers want more advanced technology--AI/ML. Legacy systems are a significant hurdle, according to Shreesh
Tiwari, principal at ZS; technology infrastructure is a massive investment within healthcare. He firmly believes that
legacy systems create barriers to innovation.
Payers generally agree that most of their barriers to innovation are technological; creating efficient processes to
improve ROI is a challenge. An abundance of optimism and forward-thinking drives real innovation and plays a
significant role in "leveraging technology to improve care."

Patients Lauren Goodman, director of market intelligence at HIMSS, believes that although patients describe want-
ing to go back to pre-COVID times, it's mostly "pandemic fatigue." 65% of the patients surveyed said they like the
convenience and prefer telehealth.
About 50% of millennials said they will still choose telehealth even when the pandemic ends; 25% of boomers
agreed.
Wearable technology is generational and income-related; those with less than $25,000 tend not to own wearable
technology.
