Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

CMS’ AI program to add prior authorizations to traditional Medicare; new bill aims to stop it
President Donald Trump’s administration argues that their “WISeR” model will eliminate unnecessary testing and save Medicare money. But eight Democrats opposing it think it will only bring Medicare Advantage chaos to Part A and Part B.
Confirmed: AI software from Heartflow flags high-risk coronary plaques for cardiologists
Researchers tracked data from nearly 8,000 patients evaluated with Heartflow's FDA-cleared Plaque Analysis software. Overall, the technology's Plaque Staging feature was found to provide significant value during the diagnosis and management of these patients.
Doctor sues Waymo after AI flags him as a terrorist
Nasser Mohamed, MD, a neurologist who operates a clinical practice in San Francisco, said an artificial intelligence system used by the autonomous taxi company led to him being denied multiple rides. He is seeking injunctive relief.
Healthcare AI today: Billions for AI-based biotech, fast ROI or else, AI for imprisoned patients, more
The Zuckerbergs have many billions to give away. They want to shower a lot of it on researchers using AI to cure diseases.
California chooses Innovaccer's AI to improve Medicaid outcomes for vulnerable populations
The company will analyze claims data from over 2 million people enrolled in Medi-Cal. The data will be used for compliance reporting and to improve patient care coordination.
