During #HIMSS24, UpHill took center stage on the HealthTech With Purpose podcast. In this episode, Eduardo Freire Rodrigues and Mariana Bandeira explore how UpHill's care orchestration platform boosts hospital efficiency and patient outcomes. Tune in to learn: 👉 How UpHill automates clinical pathways to increase capacity and improve patient outcomes; 👉 The challenges of healthcare data integration and how UpHill overcomes them; 👉 The critical role of clinician buy-in for successful tech adoption in healthcare; 👉 Why AI must be rooted in clinical evidence to be truly effective; 👉 The future of care integration and empowering patients;

Given the multitude of possible ethical principles, it is crucial to define and ethically justify #fairness metrics before algorithm development. To meet such predefined fairness metrics throughout the entire #AI product life cycle, guidance frameworks have been proposed. These guidance frameworks assume that predefined metrics alone are sufficient to design, develop, translate, and deploy AI in #healthcare to achieve fair #outcomes. However, little attention has been paid to the fact that this assumption is often not accurate: predefined fairness metrics could differ substantially from the fairness #preferences of #patients #physicians, or the general #public https://lnkd.in/dEcS9Thh

🙌 🚀 BIG!! Brazilian Innovation Revolutionizes Surgical Training in the Metaverse   During Boston's Innovation Week, the Brazilian startup EDUCSIM presented a technology that promises to transform medical training. Harvard Club of Boston, professors, executives, and researchers from Harvard, MIT, and Babson College witnessed the world's first multi-device Holoportation.   Dr. Giselle Coelho, EDUCSIM founder, led the demonstration, showcasing how the technology allows participants to be virtually transported to a meeting room or surgical suite using virtual reality glasses. This innovation aims to accelerate the improvement of surgical techniques, reducing learning time and enabling more efficient remote training. Traditionally, neurosurgeons learn new techniques in surgeries assisted by mentors with real patients, a long and complex process. Dr. Giselle, who started EDUCSIM in 2017, developed baby simulators that have already been shown to reduce surgery time from 12 to 9 hours, decreasing hospitalization days and complications.   In December, EDUCSIM presented a proof of concept where Dr. Benjamin Warf, a renowned neurosurgeon at Boston Children’s Hospital, instructed surgeons using a baby simulator with augmented reality assistance. The BHI is a management, entrepreneurship, and health innovation program organized by the Brazilian Edtech Academy Abroad. Doctors from all regions of Brazil participated in the program, learning about real cases of companies founded by Brazilians and foreigners.   BTR’s Contribution: Immersive Corporate Experiences Beyond the Reality (BTR) is a pioneer in developing corporate solutions in immersive spaces. Our mission is to transform how companies connect with their audience, using augmented and virtual reality technologies to create unique and engaging experiences.   At BTR, many advanced technologies offer total immersion, interacting in a real and intuitive way. All projects are customized by the client's specific needs, ensuring a differentiated experience and measurable results.   The immersive spaces we create range from virtual meetings and training to corporate events and virtual spaces, providing globalized and interactive engagement in a real way. The unique current technology that allows this result offers advantages such as cost reduction, ease of collaboration, increased productivity, sustainability, and creating unforgettable experiences for all stakeholders involved.                                                                               Democratizing accessibility and driving innovation in the corporate world is our goal, creating an ecosystem of innovation, accessibility, and inclusion.   Conclusion EDUCSIM’s presentation highlighted the transformative potential of augmented and virtual reality in medical training, opening new frontiers for education and surgical practice. #metaverse #technology #VR #XR #immersivespaces #education #Harvard #BabsonCollege #MIT #holoportation #innovation

Although much of our evidence-based principles remain foundational, #AI #health #technologies do have inherent characteristics that create new opportunities and risks. All gatekeepers—journal editors, regulators, payers, health professionals, and others—need to understand the implications of these opportunities and the risks of evaluating, regulating, procuring, and implementing AI health technologies.

Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD recently posted his great infographics "The Timeline of Digital Health: Every Milestone In Making Patients The Point of Care". In it there is an entry for May 2004: First major paper on e-patients [The first generation of e-patients, BMJ]. As one of the 2 authors, the 2nd being Tom Ferguson, MD, I wanted to repost some of that BMJ entry, 20 years later! Whatever we proposed then remains true today, including "much of the fundamental research in this emerging field remains to be done". "The first generation of e-patients: These new medical colleagues could provide sustainable healthcare solutions" [...] Much of the fundamental research in this emerging field remains to be done — for example, a census of online support groups, studies of the patient centred email networks that arise when a loved one is ill, and evaluations of the benefits that online patient helpers can provide. We need more pilot studies: pilots in which patients are taught to provide their own medical care with the best support information technology can provide, pilots in which professionals and patients explore new ways to work together to care for other patients, and pilots in which teams of professionals and patients look for, evaluate, develop, or apply other new models of e-patient innovation. Fifthly, we suspect that the emerging world of the e-patient cannot be fully understood and appreciated in the context of pre-internet medical constructs. The medical world view of the 20th century did not recognise the legitimacy of lay medical competence and autonomy. Its metrics, research methods, and cultural vocabulary are poorly suited to studying this emerging field. Something akin to a major system upgrade in our thinking is needed, a new cultural operating system for health care in which e-patients can be recognised as a valuable new type of renewable resource — managing much of their own care, providing care for others, helping professionals improve the quality of their services, and participating in collaborations between patients and professionals. Given the recognition and support they deserve these new medical colleagues may help us find sustainable solutions to the seemingly intractable problems that now plague all modern systems.
