Talking HealthTech THT Podcast Network

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Peter Birch welcomes Paul Deffley, UK Chief Medical Officer, to discuss the importance of diagnostic result handling in healthcare through the use of innovative technology. Paul introduces listeners to Alcidion and its role in revolutionising healthcare systems in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. They explore Alcidion's latest module, Miya Results Tracking, and the role it plays in ensuring efficient management and acknowledgement of clinical results, aiming to decrease patient harm and improve care delivery. 

Key Takeaways:
- Challenges with Results Management: Up to 60% of results may not be formally acknowledged in healthcare systems, which can delay diagnosis and lead to patient harm.
- Introduction of Miya Results Tracking: Miya Results Tracking addresses the complexity surrounding result management and aims to create a digital safety net for clinicians.
- The Digital Safety Net: Alcidion's initiative seeks to ensure that results are connected to the patient's records, leading to better decision-making and accountability.
- Bridging Geographic Gaps: The Miya Results Tracking module can handle data from multiple healthcare locations, allowing for centralised management of diagnostic results.
- Operational and Clinical Impact: Implementing Miya Results Tracking is expected to reduce unacknowledged results, shorten response times, and improve task-related activities linked to patient care outcomes.

In this episode we dive into the intersection of technology and clinical trials. 
Join our host, Nathan Moore, as he speaks with Damon Rasheed and Saurabh Jain from TrialKey.
This episode explores the significant role predictive software plays in optimising the success rates of clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry.

Key Takeaways
Clinical trials are the cornerstone of discovering new treatments, and their design is pivotal to the pharmaceutical industry's success. There is a dire need for effective trial design and the current low success rates.The transition from a tradition-bound trial design process to a data-driven, predictive model approach using machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) is a dramatic leap forward.Key technical insights are shared on how NLP and other AI tools are used to sift through vast amounts of data to recognise patterns and predict outcomes of trials, even before they begin.Real-world applications of predictive software in trial outcomes are in early stages, but the potential changes to the investment strategy in the pharmaceutical industry are a topic of considerable interest.There is hope for future developments in clinical trial design and the enhanced role of predictive software, in an industry on the cusp of breakthrough efficiency and effectiveness thanks to technology.

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Sophie Turner speaks with Dr Brian Zimmerman to discuss clinical AI-based speech recognition as a tool for healthcare to address workforce shortages, clinician burnout & digital transformation.
Dr Zimmerman, an expert in deploying speech recognition platforms in healthcare settings, shares insights from his experience transitioning hospitals to electronic health record (EHR) systems, the burden on healthcare providers inherent to these systems, and how integrating speech recognition technology can help alleviate these issues.
Key Takeaways:
- Speech Recognition in Healthcare: Dr Zimmerman highlights the significant impact of speech recognition technology like Dragon Medical One on healthcare providers' efficiency, particularly in reducing the clerical load and documentation errors associated with EHR systems.
- Global Health Issues and Technology Solutions: Similarities between healthcare challenges faced in the US, Australia, and globally, such as physician burnout and workforce shortages, are discussed, along with how technology can address these issues.
- Integrating Speech Recognition: The use of voice commands within Dragon Medical One to navigate EHR systems effectively is emphasized, including the automation of common workflow tasks which can significantly reduce the number of clicks and time spent on documentation.
- Future of AI in Healthcare: Dr Zimmerman speaks about the Dragon Ambient Experience (DAX), which uses AI to listen to patient visits and create structured clinical documentation automatically.
