Artificial Intelligence
In order to be successful with MSSP or other value-based programs, providers need real-time data to improve outcomes and costs, according to healthcare attorney Pam Hepp.
Ed Marx, CIO at Cleveland Clinic, explains that organizations must be agile in harnessing real-time data for predictive analytics because there is always emerging tech from a data-generating population, so be ready for the next hurdle.
John Barto, healthcare evangelist at Microsoft, outlines the early wins systems are seeing by incorporating cognitive computing platforms into their IT stacks.
Telemedicine platforms and tools will transform virtual care by incorporating emerging technologies and novel uses of data.
New technologies can be used to proactively detect malfunctioning equipment and enable faster repair.
Integrating Jvion cognitive computing technology is part of the institute’s plan to transform healthcare by boosting quality and outcomes.
The Topol Review’s interim report invites the health tech community to share insight on what the NHS workforce needs to deliver its digital future.
Healthcare has struggled with data sharing for a long time but, even still, experts said the future will be robust as emerging technologies and standards become more common.
A ground-breaking facility that will harness Artificial Intelligence to develop new drugs for clinical testing within weeks is to be opened through investment from the new £103m Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI).
Funded by the government through UK Research and Innovation, the RFI will use advanced technologies such as AI and robotics to transform the drug discovery process and create new treatments for patients.
The RFI will invest £6m to set up the new cutting-edge facility using AI and lead two other initiatives that will see the institute work on creating:
The ‘world’s most advanced real-time video camera’ to develop cures for some of the most lethal forms of cancer
A project that will enable fully-automated hands-free molecular discovery to produce new drugs up to ten times faster.
“The new Rosalind Franklin Institute will lead a revolution in drug development and diagnosis to improve the lives of millions of patients,” said Business Secretary Greg Clark earlier this month.

The RFI will operate on a ‘hub and spoke’ model, with the central facility located at the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire and several spokes distributed throughout its partner network of universities, which includes:
University of Birmingham
University of Cambridge
University of Edinburgh
Imperial College London
University of Leeds
King's College London
University of Manchester
University of Oxford
University of Southampton
University College London.
It is expected to drive growth in the UK life sciences sector and bridge the gap between academia, research and pharma or SMEs, with the Harwell hub set to host 150 researchers.
“The RFI will pioneer disruptive technologies and new ways of working to revolutionise our understanding of biology, leading to new diagnostics, new drugs, and new treatments for millions of patients worldwide.
“It will bring university researchers together with industry experts in one facility and embrace high-risk, adventurous research, that will transform the way we develop new medicines,” said Professor Ian Walmsey, University of Oxford Pro-Vice-Chancellor Research & Innovation and Chair of the RFI’s Interim Board.
This week, Prime Minister Theresa May outlined plans for the UK to lead the AI revolution in healthcare, with technology set to be one of the key areas for the new 10-year NHS plan.
“We have the opportunity to lead the world in the use of data and technology to prevent illness, not just treat it, to diagnose conditions before symptoms occur and to deliver personalised treatment informed not just by general understanding of disease, but by your own data, including your genetic makeup,” the PM said during a speech at the Royal Free in London on Monday (18 June).
Experts discuss where medical devices are headed as the internet of things continues to expand.
