​

Artificial Intelligence & Democratizing Healthcare

AI is revolutionizing the Where, When, What and How people access healthcare. Trained healthcare professionals and physical clinics are a limited and expensive resource. With location removed from the equation, shifting care to the point of the patient increases access and lowers the cost of delivery. The negligible incremental cost to provide an AI based software program per person makes AI infinitely scalable and accessible.

The patient experience is changing, expectations are evolving, and the major healthcare stakeholders are recognizing healthcare can be delivered in new ways that improve patient outcomes. AI advancements across Vocal Biomarkers, Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Therapeutics, Voice Recognition, Decision Support Tools, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Care are converging together to create Ambient Healthcare Computing: the ever-present healthcare assistant that monitors, analyzes, and provides the right interventions to the right person at the right time. This future of ambient computing promises a reimagined healthcare paradigm from sick-care to continuous-care.

Large Language Models in Healthcare

Large Language Models such as Microsoft and OpenAI's GPT are already forging a path into healthcare. GPT-3, ChatGPT and GPT-4 are all autoregressive language models that can produce human-like text by using deep learning in response to a query. Unlike a traditional search engine, GPT is not just spitting back out an answer a human wrote – GPT forms its own “ideas”.

In the spring of 2023, Microsoft announced new partnerships with two large EMR companies, Epic and eClinicalWorks. The easiest and earliest applications for LLMs in healthcare include Transcribing Clinical Notes, Patient Summaries, Administrative Paperwork, Billing, Interacting with Insurance, Symptom Checkers for Triaging a Patient, and Medication Management & Education. 

Startups like Nabla and Be My Eyes have already incorporated GPT. Nabla has been a paying customer of OpenAI since 2020 and has launched the Nabla Copilot. During a clinic visit, Nabla Copilot automatically transcribes & translates conversations into the correct endpoint, from clinical notes that write themselves, patient summaries, prescriptions, and Nabla can even interact with the patient for followup appointments - all without prompt or human intervention.

The Patient as CEO: How Technology Empowers the Healthcare Consumer

There is a shift happening in the delivery of care from the clinic to wherever the patient is located: home, retail pharmacy, work, or traveling. Beyond standard telemedicine, there are a number of factors converging to accelerate this shift to the home and enable healthcare to be a daily presence in a patient’s life. 

Constant and continuous data and feedback from patients' real-world environment including remote physiologic & therapeutic monitoring, clinical grade wearables & diagnostic devices sold direct-to-consumer, Digital Therapeutics, IV Medication in-home, blood labs sold direct-to-consumer and collected at home, AI voice technology, and vocal biomarkers - using a patient’s voice as a vital sign.

​Ideal for audiences both with and without healthcare backgrounds and experience.
