Hospitals are using AI to improve health outcomes, clinician workflows and patient care. Here are six artificial intelligence projects health systems have recently created and deployed as reported by Becker's Hospital Review:
- Jacksonville, Fla.-based Baptist Health will use Hyro's AI technology to scale back repetitive tasks, including password resets and service desks calls related to its implementation of an Epic EHR.
- Researchers from New York City-based Mount Sinai successfully used AI to examine structural and cellular features of human brain tissues to help determine the causes of Alzheimer's and other forms of cognitive impairment.
- Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic has expanded its relationship with artificial intelligence-driven health tech company Nference to use deidentified patient data to research and discover disease diagnoses and treatments.
- Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic researchers are studying the use of artificial intelligence to evaluate electrocardiograms to screen for atrial fibrillation.
- Intermountain Delta (Utah) Community Hospital is using an AI tool to help detect cancer. The tool, GI Genius, will be used in four Intermountain Health hospitals: Intermountain Fillmore, Intermountain Delta Community, Intermountain Cedar City and Intermountain Heber Valley.
- DuBois, Pa.-based Penn Highlands Healthcare will use software company Regard's AI tool to boost diagnostics and billing. The tool uses an algorithmic program that can integrate into Epic and Cerner EHRs to mine patients' medical histories to help optimize diagnoses and billing.
- Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health partnered with Google Cloud to deidentify massive amounts of imaging data and build AI algorithms to predict metastasis in patients with prostate cancer.
