Driving Innovation in Healthcare: How an Ecosystem Approach to IoMT has the Potential to Transform Patient Care and Cost Management
The following is a guest article by Zack Tisch, Senior Vice President of Innovation and Life Sciences at Pivot Point Consulting Medical devices have long existed and added value at points in the healthcare experience. From consumer wearables and smart home devices to point-of-care testing and other technologies used within hospitals and physician practices – these have traditionally existed in silos, capturing and transmitting data with minimal collaboration between providers, specialties, or organizations. Now, healthcare organizations are facing a paradigm shift where it is essential to move this disparate information ...

The Business Reality of Healthcare AI
BY KIM BELLARD I was at the barbershop the other day and overheard one barber talking with his senior citizen customer about when – not if – robot AIs would become barbers. I kid you not. Now, I don’t usually expect to heard conversations about technology at the barber, but it illustrates that I think we are at the point with AI that we were with the Internet in the late ‘90’s/early ‘00s: people’s lives were just starting to change because of it, new companies were jumping in with ideas about how to use it, and existing companies knew they were going to have to figure out ways to incorporate it if they ...

The following is a guest article by Anna Twomey, Senior Director, Healthcare Providers – Americas at SS&C Blue Prism   With rising staffing shortages and burnout among healthcare workers, digital transformation will be key to overcoming these challenges and protecting patient care. It’s estimated that the U.S. could see a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2033 and will need to hire at least 200,000 nurses per year to meet increased demand and to replace retiring nurses.

This and that
Responding to some of the responses to my last post on global carbon emissions, yes, we agree on the facts, the issue seems to be the implications. It is correct that at this moment, the U.S. accounts for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and we have been heading downward; while China in particular has been going in the wrong direction and is the largest emitter. Maybe " fairness " is an issue here, since the U.S. is responsible for far more cumulative emissions and China ' s emissions per capita are not as large, but given the crisis facing humanity I think that ' s pretty much beside the point. What matters i...

Better Health Care Tests, Faster
This article looks at some specific problems and solutions. Speeding up Test Development We’ve seen with COVID-19 how quickly a virus can evolve and how hard it is to design both tests and vaccinations that accommodate different variants. Virax Biolabs uses data from the World Health Organization and others to develop tests quickly. For instance, new viral variants tend to spread in the southern hemisphere before hitting the northern hemisphere in our Winter, so Virax can check existing data to prepare better tests for the North. The company is developing a T-cell diagnostics and profiling platform called Virax Immu...

Matthew ’s health care tidbits: Hedge Funds that Do Health Care on the Side
Each time I send out the THCB Reader, our newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB (Sign up here!) I include a brief tidbits section. Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog.

But the prize for tone deafness this week comes from another very well funded health care provider system being heartless to its poorest patients.  This week it’s Allina, a Minn...
