Suki, an AI-backed healthcare voice tool for healthcare, announced a partnership with Zoom, a maker of enterprise video conferencing platforms, to use Suki’s AI engine, Suki Platform, to generate clinical notes and embed AI capabilities into its offering.
Suki Platform comprises a suite of developer tools for technology companies seeking to implement AI experiences into their offerings.
Zoom offers a telehealth platform as part of its communication services. Through the partnership, Suki will allow for ambient clinical documentation during Zoom telehealth visits and in-person visits.
“AI is changing the way we interact with the world,” Suki founder and CEO Punit Soni, said in a statement.
“Everything from how we communicate to how we use technology to how care is delivered will evolve. Video will be a critical interface in the AI-driven world. We are thrilled to work with Zoom to develop new interaction models and AI that will advance our mission of making healthcare technology invisible and assistive so clinicians can focus on what’s most important, their patients.”
GE HealthCare unveiled CareIntellect for Oncology, a cloud application that joins multimodal patient data from different systems into a single view with the help of generative AI to give clinicians access to notes and reports.
The application also shows applicable data that permits care teams to rapidly understand disease progression and identify probable deviations from the treatment plan to help the clinician decide possible next steps and inform proactive interventions.
The app, which the company expects to be available next year, will initially target prostate and breast cancer.
“CareIntellect is designed to help providers streamline access to critical patient information and surface key changes since the patient’s last visit,” Dr. Taha Kass-Hout, global chief science and technology officer at GE HealthCare, said in a statement.
“By ensuring the provider has the right information at their fingertips, they can spend less time sifting through information and more time helping patients.”
Upfront Healthcare announced an agreement with athenahealth via the company’s EHR app store, Marketplace program.
Because it will be part of athenahealth’s Marketplace, Upfront’s integration leverages patient data to simplify outreach and augment operational efficiency across the care continuum that the two companies say will result in smarter, more connected healthcare and better patient outcomes.
Upfront’s integration contains its Smart Followup platform. The company has plans to integrate more offerings, such as billing and patient satisfaction surveys.
Among other things, Upfront’s data-driven insights will aim to allow health enterprises to grow reimbursement opportunities; send tailored health check messages and integrate online scheduling.
“As we look at today’s digital health market, patient engagement-focused integrations are more important than ever,” Ryan Royal, Upfront CTO, said in a statement.
“Upfront’s partnership with the athenahealth Marketplace reflects the direction of our technology’s patient-centric strategy while offering our enterprise partners another step toward true interoperability, unlocking critical data insights so they can guide more patients to their front door.”
