Laura Hilty has spent over 18 years working to improve the healthcare ecosystem, over 14 years of that in clinical research. She has held leadership roles spanning corporate strategy, M&A, product strategy, product management, and partnerships across stages from company start-up to scale, through Forte / Advarra and Epic. In this short discussion recorded at the Digital Health and AI Innovation Summit in Boston 2024, she explained a few tips companies can use to improve their product development.  Key points:  Collaboration and Deep Understanding: Startups must dive deep into understanding problems by engaging in extensive collaboration and interviewing diverse stakeholders. Conducting numerous conversations helps reveal recurring themes and deeper insights. Validation with Customers: Before advancing with a solution, startups should validate it with potential customers, ensuring they are willing to buy and clarifying how it fits into their workflows seamlessly. Active Listening and Detachment: Companies need to listen not just to respond but to truly understand customer pain points. This involves detaching from pre-conceived solutions and being open to honest, even critical, feedback. Balancing Customer Focus and Market Trends: While it’s crucial to address customer needs, startups must also maintain an external view to identify broader market trends and potential disruptions, avoiding tunnel vision on current customers. Learning from Failure: Product failure often stems from underestimating customer differences or lack of scalability. Proactively engaging with diverse customer types before development can prevent such issues. Challenges in Gathering Feedback: Many startups struggle to gather adequate feedback due to customer reluctance or limited outreach. Live conversations are more effective than surveys, and clarifying that feedback isn't tied to sales can improve engagement. Market Opportunities in Healthcare: There are unmet needs in system integration and leveraging research-naive physicians for clinical trials. Addressing these gaps, especially through innovation and collaboration, could significantly advance the industry. Website: www.facesofdigitalhealth.com Newsletter: https://fodh.substack.com/

All experts agree: if there's one sector that AI will transform, it's healthcare. Whether it's understanding pathologies, developing personalized treatments, the doctor-patient relationship, diagnostic methods, or creating tools to facilitate the work of healthcare professionals, everything is affected by the ongoing transformation! This revolution raises many expectations and questions about the real impact these new technologies will have on tomorrow's medicine. One of the leading figures in this movement on the international scene is none other than the French-American company Owkin, which aims to be "the first end-to-end AI biotech company," whose R&D activities are overseen by Jean-Philippe Vert, himself a true pioneer in the field of machine learning and computational biology. The first “AI-first” biotech company of its kind, bringing a breath of fresh air to an industry known for being extremely costly and time-consuming. So how does AI accelerate the development of new therapies? What is its role in identifying new molecules and targets? How can it be used to create new diagnostic tools? Can we leverage patient data without compromising their safety and privacy? And what can we expect from future models and their impact on our understanding of biology? These are all fascinating questions that Jean-Philippe breaks down with pedagogy and realism, shedding light on one of the most exciting fields of medicine in this era! Timeline: 04:21 - Jean-Philippe’s background at the interface of mathematics, computer science, and life sciences 07:10 - Owkin’s mission to become the first end-to-end AI biotech firm 09:48 - Leveraging AI for drug discovery and new treatment modalities 14:35 - Selecting target indications and therapeutic areas 17:13 - Changing the way we run clinical trials through AI 22:03 - Unlocking patient data across hospitals while preserving safety and privacy 25:40 - Developing AI-based diagnostics and driving clinical adoption 34:50 - Towards the first AI foundation model to understand biology What we also talked about with Jean-Philippe Google DeepMind Large Language Models (LLMs) Digital twins External control arms Federated learning Digital pathology MSIntuit CRC Bioptimus Neural networks As mentioned by Jean-Philippe during the episode, we recommend taking a look at Owkin and Bioptimus websites as well as their respective Publications & News section to learn more about their technology and stay posted on their latest activities.

This short discussion with Rachel Dunscombe, CEO of openEHR International Foundation, was recorded in Reading at the first openEHR Annual conference. Rachel Dunscombe discussed trends in data standards and the importance of structured data for the future development of AI. Recap of the discussion: Historical Context and Progress in Data Standards: Thirty years ago, the "Good European Healthcare Record" initiative aimed to create a standardized European healthcare record. How does it relate to EHDS and efforts for single patient records on European level. Unlike the past, today's digital landscape and AI advancements underscore the importance of standardized, actionable data for remote care and patient self-management. Collaboration Among Standards Bodies: Recent years have seen increased cooperation among standards organizations like FHIR, OpenEHR, and SNOMED, with a focus on complementing rather than duplicating efforts. Standards bodies are now defining clearer roles and working together toward a unified goal of improving healthcare outcomes. Need for Practical Implementation and Governance: Effective implementation of standards requires practical guides for healthcare systems, developed collaboratively by standards bodies. Open, democratic communities with strong governance are essential to ensure diverse input and practical guidance for using standards effectively. AI and Data Quality: Good data quality is foundational for effective AI in healthcare; without it, AI solutions cannot achieve optimal results. Standards are crucial for creating "trustworthy" AI and have been discussed at forums like the United Nations, emphasizing the need for global alignment on data standards. Future Goals and Global Standards: Continued development of clear, internationally recognized standards will support interoperability and innovation in healthcare, including AI-driven solutions. Guidelines from standards bodies are anticipated to help healthcare systems apply data standards cohesively for population health benefits. Resources and Engagement: The podcast "Faces of Digital Health" and its associated newsletter discuss these topics, offering updates on trends and insights in healthcare digitalization and standards. www.facesofdigitalhealth.com Newsletter: https://fodh.substack.com/

November 14, 2024: Dirk Stanley, CMIO at UConn Health, takes listeners through a journey of healthcare technology's profound evolution and its impact on patient care. How does a clinical informaticist balance IT complexities and medical nuances? And what challenges arise in standardizing medical terminology, especially when simple differences in words can shape a patient's treatment? Together with host Bill Russell, Dr. Stanley examines the need for precise data standards, the promise and pitfalls of AI in medical documentation, and how ambient listening and computer vision could redefine clinical workflows. Key Points:00:33 Dirk Stanley's Career Journey09:19 The Role of a CMIO17:14 AI Implications24:48 Data Management and Workflow DesignSubscribe: This Week HealthTwitter: This Week HealthLinkedIn: Week HealthDonate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer
