The imagined fuels reality

“Will the machines save us? Only if we help them.”
As physicians, we have a duty to serve our community members, our friends and family, and the future. But what if our community is global, our friends and family are more than just those we know personally, and our future is one in which technology enhances how we serve each other.
I believe in this vision and have begun connecting with physicians, innovators, entrepreneurs, and scientists around the globe with my podcast, “Man & Machine.”

Crossing the AI in healthcare implementation chasm

Of the thousands of AI applications that have been announced so far, only a handful are used in routine clinical care and none are cited as standards for use in professional clinical guidelines. Does this mean AI has failed to cross the translational chasm? Not indeed, it is just the approach so far has been exploratory rather than driven by implementation science. In this presentation, I cover the reasons and solutions in my presentation.

Driving health equity through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - a distinct plausibility.

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized medical care in many ways from operating rooms, drug discovery, specialized care pathways, and to how precision medicine is being delivered to patients. However, the question still remains to if and how this powerful platform can help address many of the prevailing health inequities and help improve access, treatment, and outcomes.

8:30 AM PT

Technology and Addressing Access and Bias in Pediatrics

Technologic innovation toward enhancing care for children currently utilizes Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) as a core component of design. This session will discuss how AI/ML uses data sets to power algorithms, and how this technology can improve access to care while addressing unconscious bias in both diagnosis and treatment. Examples of current technology powered by AI/ML as well as the advocacy with regard to overall health equity will be highlighted.

Maximizing Physician Impact at the Intersection of Clinical Operations, Artificial Intelligence and Business Strategy

The need for artificial intelligence continues to grow, but in areas that oftentimes fall outside the roadmap or strategy of healthcare executives or into an area of limited experience and expertise such as artificial intelligence. Large technology vendors and early stage startups have all struggled to introduce and rapidly iterate new solutions to meet the needs of healthcare providers. This discussion will explore the key challenges facing companies trying to expand the use of A.I.

Why Physicians Make Great Innovators

Healthcare industry is the largest industry in the US. It employs more people and consumes more GDP than any other industry. This provides a great medium for disruptive innovation. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many problems to the forefront. Physicians on the other hand spend more than a decade in education, training and specialization. They are smart, highly skilled, have grit and are not afraid of hard work - the same characteristics needed for innovators to succeed.

Why Your Clinical Data Strategy Isn't Working (and how to fix it)

Over the past 10 years, there have been two major problems in healthcare that are sides to the same coin: Poor clinical data quality & High rates of physician burnout.
Dr. Shaker will leverage his own experience as an MD turned clinical data analyst and use real-world use cases to demonstrate how the two topics are closely linked. He'll walk us through a history of CDI, why it has caused a lot of pain for doctors and what paths exist to heal that relationship and fix both problems!

Tackling the Full Medtech Stack as a Physician, From Medical Device to Software and Data

In 2018 I launched my second startup, Oncodisc (now Veris Health post acquisition), to develop an intelligent implantable device for oncology. Our solution quickly grew to include a software platform and data analytics, technology required to extract insights and value from our intelligent device. Through this journey, I have been immersed in healthcare software and database development, and most importantly built the professional network required to develop the full technology stack.

How you can talk about your idea, and what you can and can’t do with it to avoid potentially irreversible patentability issues.

You’ve had your stroke of genius. Your next inclination is to immediately do one of two things: 1) Yell it from the rooftops and share it with anyone who will listen or 2) keep it close to the vest, not tell anyone, and guard your idea like it’s the One Ring. Both instincts are usually wrong. At least in their absolute forms. Knowing when to share your idea and when to shush is a vital distinction on the journey to innovative success. As we’ll discuss more, sharing too much and too soon can have detrimental effects on your ability to later protect your idea. Conversely, keeping your idea a secret may also not be an option depending on your funding goals. Join us to learn how to strike the balance between these two extremes.

Friday, ​January 7th, 2022, 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM PT

And Digital Health for All... With the help of behavioral economics

Digital health offers great opportunities for accessibility and greater patient involvement. And yet significant gaps exist between how much richer people use it and benefit from it, compared with the poor. Likewise, usage varies across ages. To better serve everyone, we need to use psychology, to understand their barriers, and behavioral economics, to motivate them. I’ll describe an intervention that got non-techy seniors hooked on an adherence to medication app. Labor intensive, but effective.

Being Patch Adams

There is no doubt that healthcare is one of the most complex and challenging spheres for innovation. Unfortunately, the healthcare industrial complex has made it a race towards cost savings and metrics and has lost sight of the most important relationship - that of the physician & patient. We must return to innovation that is driven by expertise and patient-centered care.

Through the Looking Glass: the Impact of a Price Transparent Model

The emergence of direct pay models and direct to consumer healthcare have changed the way patients seek and receive medical care. A paternalistic, monolithic model is no longer viable as technologies have shifted care away from institutions alone and patients have a lot more than skin in the game. We have to rethink our dependence on an insurance risk model.

Behavioral health is a Concern

Mental and behavioral health are growing concerns amongst the nation. Addressing these issues should be a partnership. Most individuals with these issues will rather hide them than address them. Physicians have the unique opportunity to bridge the gap that many fear to cross, speaking from the experience of a individual who had these problems, I can share how the partnership with my physician reduced the fear about receiving help, how the strategy was formed and the success of this partner ship.

VP/CMO, Mercy General Hospital/Dignity Health/CommonSpirit Health

The Evolving Role of the CMO

Historically, the CMO role oversaw quality, patient safety, and medical staff credentialing. As we entered the pandemic, the executive team needed immediate access to quality clinical information, something easily provided by the CMO. This turned the CMO into a strategic partner and this person will be further tapped to help develop strategies for the transition into a post-pandemic world. The pandemic also highlighted that the well-being of the medical staff falls squarely upon the CMO.

Sustainable Employability

Employers face a major challenge. Getting the right people in the right place is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive due to developments such as digitization, aging and migration. In addition, we are now experiencing a crisis that endangers the (mental) health of employees (more in the work stress data report). Sustainable employability helps to avoid these issues. So how can your employees work healthier, more enjoyable, more productive and longer?

Managing CME in Two Steps

The CME Requirements and ongoing credentialing process are inefficient and flawed. Requirements are due on an asynchronous timeline with complex regulations, which creates a heavy administrative burden on the healthcare systems, clinicians and administrators. The CME process can be streamlined and simplified into two steps. We will present a solution that can help administrators and clinicians to automate the process of managing state licenses, board certifications, to other expiring credentials

Physician Fertility/Infertility

Infertility affects up to 1 in 4 female physicians and significantly impacts physical and mental wellbeing. However, fertility is not often discussed during medical training, leaving physicians unprepared for its devastating consequences. Additionally, healthcare leaders are often unaware of the prevalence of infertility amongst their trainees and employees. I will discuss physician infertility and measures that can be taken by individuals/systems to prevent and manage this common condition.

Innovate? Not in a Threat State

Business School Mindset (BSM) is the ideology that emerges from graduate business education: a belief that organizations are best managed through hierarchy and control with finances as the preeminent outcome metric. This toxic philosophy has so pervaded society, including healthcare. When physicians relinquish leadership of medicine to those with a BSM, physician autonomy is compromised, even gutted. The resultant chronic threat state derails careers, harms patients, and hamstrings innovation.

STARTUP SHOWCASE

Therapha is a research and innovation-oriented healthcare technology company registered in New York. It is founded, funded and managed by a group of highly motivated enthusiastic spinecare experts who replicate their everyday success to bring sweeping changes across the globe through digital technology. Consistent with their work, persistent in their mission, tenacious in vision they brought forth TheraphaTM - ‘Practice the Future’. Our patented digital solution is a catalytic bridge between patients and their clinicians to standardize Spinecare and the musculoskeletal world.

Obsidio, Inc. is an early-stage medical device company focused on developing a minimally-invasive occlusive agent using a shear-thinning biomaterial (STB) technology for applications in vascular embolotherapy.

An overview of an AI based SaaS platform for personalized management of seizures using wearables for closed loop monitoring of vital parameters and other neurological biomarkers will be presented. The AI engine provides continuous insights leading to seizure detection and preemptive alert notifications.  Insights provided to the neurologists help them personalize treatment plans by guiding drug titration, detecting tachyphylaxis and managing treatment aggressiveness for better health outcomes.

blinkpad is an AI-driven opportunity matching platform, serving the healthcare and hospitality industries. blinkpad helps employers reduce candidate screening times and time-to-hire by providing high-quality candidate matching. blinkpad maps candidates’ multimedia profiles against unique knowledge graphs of over 50,000 industry-specific specializations. In this way, we match employers with candidates who meet their certification, experience, and schedule requirements. All in the blink of an eye.

The Solution: Improve, fix, or redesign the systems using the New Agreements Transformational Model and 7 Tools, employing a bottom/up, fully participatory, systems-based, “pull” strategy. Solutions to persistent problems require a shift in paradigm or thinking. Employees working within a broken system often attempt to resolve the problems with a reactive, non-systems-based approach. This is akin to trying to solve problems with the same thinking used to create them, which Albert Einstein describes as impossible. This means our problem-solving model or paradigm must change radically, and that is exactly what the New Agreements Model and 7 Tools do for those who master it.

A digital assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence, embedded in a modern care delivery platform, designed to address mental health care delivery challenges at a global scale. HealMed automates patient intake evaluation through touch-free, voice-enabled interface and provides a carefully written summary to providers. The HealMed platform can automate workload up to 75-80%, thereby helping providers spend meaningful time with their clients and delivering great care to them.

UpLyft™ is the first seated self-transfer & 'zero-lifting' system between bed and wheelchair for individuals with limited mobility. Institutional healthcare facilities deal with burgeoning workers compensation claims from back and neck injuries to U.S. healthcare workers due to patient-lifting, which currently eclipse ~$20B annually. UpLyft solves this problem by replacing slings, body boards and other lift systems that require physical force from nurses and caregivers during patient transfers.

Bridge has fixed the delivery problem with buprenorphine that makes it a challenge in practice to use for pain and addiction. Current formulations dissolve in ~10 minutes through the buccal mucosa.  We have licensed 3-second dissolve technology used in 15 major drugs (eg, Nurtec) which is also cheaper to produce. A range of doses will allow use of this drug for chronic pain and also for postoperative pain, which would mean patients would leave hospital with ZERO morphine milligram equivalents.

Elevate your standard of care & patient safety

Whether you are on the frontline, serving as a team lead or a hospital executive, the Elemeno approach gives everyone peace of mind that best practices are being followed in the moment. Elemeno is an all-in-one team training and communication platform that improves safety and retention at the unit level, in addition to elevating interprofessional collaboration. The result: a frontline team that feels supported, confident and competent.

HealthPals is pioneering Precision Prevention. Individuals and patients should be identified and treated effectively before costly, life-altering events happen. Our platform CLINT uses Medical Science and Machine Learning to automate and personalize treatment pathways at an individual and population level -- producing actionable, evidence-based insights about what should be done clinically, when, and why. We have run CLINT through over 1.4 billion patient life-years of medical record data and work with some of the largest and most respected health systems, medical societies, pharma companies, and technology partners. We are VC backed.

The Torque3 platform is a robotic assisted simulator where the patient works their entire body, all of their senses and cognitive abilities during treatment. This experience-dependent multimodal integration engages distributed functional brain regions including the sensory, association and motor cortexes.

RE-INVENTING THE PRESCRIPTION EXPERIENCE

Prescription Fulfillment Services & Solutions for Pharmacies & Healthcare Prescribers

The CME Requirements and ongoing credentialing process are inefficient and flawed. Requirements are due on an asynchronous timeline with complex regulations, which creates a heavy administrative burden on the healthcare systems, clinicians and administrators. The CME process can be streamlined and simplified into two steps. We will present a solution that can help administrators and clinicians to automate the process of managing state licenses, board certifications, to other expiring credentials

Intrommune Therapeutics is developing products to desensitize people living with food allergies using the oral mucosal immunotherapy (OMIT) platform. Our first product, INT301, delivers peanut proteins to the immune system in a fully-functional toothpaste, so the individual receives therapy while brushing their teeth. Intrommune expects that this platform will prove safe, effective and convenient. A Phase I study in peanut allergic individuals is currently ongoing.

Sirica Therapeutics

Sirica Therapeutics has combined Advanced Robotics and Virtual Reality to develop a therapeutic device for Autism. The robotic machine provides a challenging gross motor activity. And virtual reality provides deeply immersive experiences. The combination of which is being used to develop task-oriented therapy for autism that is fun for the patient. The therapy can be remotely monitored by a specialist. Data from several machines can be combined to build algorithms to improve patient outcomes.

MeasureY

Emergency Departments (EDs) must be ready to treat any patient at any time. They handle highly variable patient arrivals that are difficult for humans to anticipate. Even with good predictions many EDs struggle to match demand. We propose a machine learning system that forecasts the distribution of patient arrivals on an hourly basis at multiple horizons. Using the forecasts, it generates optimal staffing blocks with user-set constraints like target patients per hour or available staff hours.

There are NO approved FDA treatments for late stage COVID infection.  Dexamethasone provides modest benefit in these cases.  This means that if you are an unfortunate victim of the virus that gets sick enough to need oxygen there is a limit in what current standard of care can do for you.  Our drug halts the final pathway of COVID that causes death.  It presses the “off switch”.  In addition to treating late-stage COVID, we have filed patents for use in treating multiple other diseases.
