Who Pays for Technology Advancements in Healthcare
Medical Economics
October 13, 2022
The question of who should pay for technology advancements like artificial intelligence in the health care industry is a tricky one. When thinking about AI-enabled software, it all depends on what the software does and the benefits of using the software. There are many use cases for AI-enabled software outside of directly treating patients, including inventory management, nurse scheduling, and drug discovery — and that’s just to name a few applications. It is clear who pays for those types of software programs: pharmaceutical companies might pay for drug discovery and hospital, or clinic operations might pay for inventory management and nurse scheduling. It’s when dealing with FDA cleared and/or HIPAA compliant software that is used directly in patient care that makes “Who Should Pay” a tricky question.

Four Startups That Use Sensors for Remote Patient Monitoring
MV
October 12, 2022
The remote patient monitoring industry has grown dramatically over the past 4 years. There are many different wearables and sensors that have gone mainstream and have also been integrated into healthcare, including the Apple Watch, Fitbit, AliveCor, Omron Blood Pressure Watch, the Oxitone Sp02 Watch, and many more devices.
Medicare has been reimbursing for Remote Physiological Monitoring for years, and in 2022 added new CPT codes around RTM, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, specifically in respiratory and musculoskeletal (MSK). Because Medicare does cover these applications and services around remote patient monitoring, over the next 5 years remote patient monitoring will continue to grow.

How AI Can Democratize Healthcare
MV
September 13, 2022
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 coalescing 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.
