There's no shortage of development when it comes to AI and ML in healthcare. The technology is already powerful and continues to advance. The challenge, as always, is getting things into the clinical workflow. And doing so at scale. Nuance has a plan to help innovators and health delivery organizations find alignment and get the right tools integrated into the clinical workflow quickly. Nuance started with ambient intelligence in the sensory realm. In computing, ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Today, Nuance's Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) can capture and code the natural conversation as it occurs between doctors and patients. Soon, ambient sensor tools will be able to see what's going on in the exam room too. Building on the sensory tools, Nuance's somatic ambient intelligence will allow AI to help doctors understand what's happening inside the body too. And that starts with imaging. The Nuance Precision Imaging Network (PIN) is designed to integrate imaging insights into the broader healthcare ecosystem and facilitate the use of AI to inform precision diagnostics and therapeutics.  In short, Nuance is allowing innovators to deploy their models on top of existing infrastructure in healthcare delivery organizations across the country. And in doing so, they are making it much easier for healthcare delivery organizations to experiment with these models. A real win-win that could accelerate the integration of ambient intelligence into the clinical workflow. On this episode, we talk with Peter Durlach, Executive Vice President, and Chief Strategy Officer at Nuance, about the technology, the strategy, and the roadmap. Plus, we discuss the AI Collaborative Nuance launched with The Health Management Academy.   Full show notes and links: https://thehcbiz.com/199-ambient-intelligence-peter-durlach/

Dr. Eric Eskioglu  0:00  AI is already in our lives, whether or not we know about it or believe it. You know, when you talk about your cars, those are all sensors that give you information. You use that pretty accurately. Now, do you question, is my beeper if I'm making lane change accurate or not? Maybe the first time you drive the new car, but once you get used to it, you can trust it almost all the time. You're still vigilant, you're still making sure that it's okay. But after a while, once you notice that it's almost 100%, correct. You don't think about anymore, and it becomes almost like an extra sensory organ that you don't have.Gina DiPietro  0:39  That's Dr. Eric Eskioglu, Novant Health executive vice president and chief medical officer, on how artificial intelligence brings together vast amounts of data to quickly find insights and efficiencies. You're listening to Industry Insights: A healthcare podcast presented by Novant Health. I'm your host, Gina DiPietro. In this episode, we explore how healthcare is using AI to solve real problems like health equity, cost of care, and better patient outcomes. More on that to come. But let's take a step back and start with what is data? And how is it used to get artificial intelligence? Here again is Dr. Eskioglu.Dr. Eric Eskioglu  1:20  So the data portion is your anything a patient generates throughout their lifetime. Whether it be regular physical checkups, regular care, or unfortunately have to end up in a hospital if they get labs if they had xX rays, MRIs. So this is all data. But as we started growing as a nation, and you know, our medical knowledge actually scientifically has increased tremendously. 50 years ago, our medical knowledge was doubling every 100 years. And currently, it's doubling every 72 days. And it is expected to double every 30 days in the next two to three years. So you can imagine the amount of medical knowledge and the data. We're going to be overwhelmed with all of this. We need to put it to good use. And from this data, you can get predictive analytics, which is the initial step to get into artificial intelligence. And that predicts, you know, things that could happen to a patient before it happens, which is very helpful. Then you can do what's called machine learning. And that's more getting structured data in an area where you can start not only predicting things, but also expecting things and also working with things that we can prevent. The final stage is artificial intelligence. And this one has two components. It's got recurrent neural networks, which is data that's dynamic that is streaming. So you can think of a heart monitoring for EKG, that is a data that's continuously streaming, you have to make decisions on the spot. And then there's also a convolutional neural network, which is the static data such as if you look at an MRI of a liver. That data statically, you have to turn it into an artificial intelligence. Now, what's exciting to me is artificial intelligence, we already have it around us. Whether or not you drive a Tesla car. Tesla cars are equipped with it. Whether or not you have an Alexa, if you're an Amazon Prime member. They not only when you log in, they can tell you what you have bought in the past, but what you may like from your profile. Artificial intelligence is going to be the fourth industrial revolution. I truly believe in that. In healthcare, if we don't adopt it, with the increasing complexity of patients, increasing amount of data, doubling of the medical knowledge every 72 days, which is going to decrease to every 30 days. We are not going to be effective and efficient and we're not going to have good outcomes. So it is imperative that all of us get into this field. Gina DiPietro  3:37  Keep in mind here that AI will not replace people in healthcare. Machines will never replace human qualities like empathy, intuition, or compassion. But it's important that people like physicians and nurses adopt AI to better care for patients. Dr. Eskioglu weighs in on where he thinks it will have the most impact.Dr. Eric Eskioglu  3:57  Physicians and nurses who use AI are sure to replace the physicians and nurse who refused AI. They are going to be much more effective, much more efficient. You know, I'm a vascular neurosurgeon, so people are surprised to hear me say that AI is going to have the biggest impact on primary care. I've said it for many years. You know, when you want to get a heart care, you think about several institutions around the country. When you want to get cancer care, you think about several institutions. But when you think about primary care, you don't hear somebody say, I'm going to get go to Cleveland Clinic and get my primary care or I'm going to go to MD Anderson to get my primary care. The reason it's going to change primary care. Those are the physicians that have the longest tenure with the patients. They have data, maybe q&a with a patient, you know, 20 to 30, sometimes 40 years of data. Because when you're with a primary care, you're you're with that person for a long time. With that data comes a lot of treasure trove of things we can predict. So, you know, we're going to be able to use artificial intelligence to predict trends from that data. Whether it be labs, whether it be MRIs, whether it be from natural language processing, your notes you wrote 20 years ago or 15 years ago. Next time you go to your primary care physician, ask them how many notes they go back to. And how many labs or x rays do they go back to see what went on. I can guarantee it's no more than one or two. So there's a lot of trends that were missing. AI is going to come into that space where it's going to get the physician or the nurses' or nurse practitioners' attention saying, 'We see a trend here from the last 15 years. And you may want to look into that.'Gina DiPietro  5:31  Here's the bottom line. Physicians and nurses can use that data to precisely diagnose and even predict health outcomes before they happen. Here again is Dr. Eskioglu with more on the potential of AI to reduce the cost of care, and why it could be a great equalizer for health equity.Dr. Eric Eskioglu  5:49  There's two things to AI that's really going to help us out on. We're going to be able to lower cost, because we're going to lower the covariation channel in the treatment modalities by using AI. What I mean by that is we've been looking at pneumonia, uncomplicated pneumonia admissions. And you know, before that homogeneous patient population, the outcomes are pretty similar, they're good. But we're noticing that some physicians order what we call the kitchen sink or the Cadillac workup. They order labs every day, x rays every day, consults. Some of them order only every other day, or every three days. So with AI, we're going to be able to predict after how many labs you've had normal do you need to stop ordering labs? Is one lab or two labs enough? So that's going to help with clinical variation. What we call economic value enhancement. And by doing that, we're going to be able to lower the healthcare costs, thereby increasing the access to underserved communities and people who have less or no access today. The other part of AI is we're going to help with social determinants of health, but also it's going to provide health equity. And what I mean by that is I'll give an example. In our stroke care, we've been very successful working with a startup company called Viz.ai. We were one of the first in the country to adopt them. when they were just at the beginning stages. It has proven to be a complete hit with us and our patients have been the true winners. This is an artificial intelligence layered on top of our telemedicine and we're able to detect a stroke on a CT scanner before the patient's out of a CT scan. On average, we've been able to save about 10 minutes per stroke patient, which equates about 19 million brain cells. Quality of life has increased. They don't die and this has had a tremendous improvement on the length of stay. But by doing that, we've provided health equity because you know, if you're a patient in Elkin, North Carolina, which is one of our affiliated hospitals that works with us. Or if you're a patient in uptown Charlotte, guess what? You get the same standard great care for stroke. There's no variation. You get the same care. So you don't have to be in a metro area to survive a stroke. And you know, that I'm proud of. So it will be the great equalizer. AI will be the great equalizer for health equity. And I truly believe that. Now, a couple of caution points. One of them is we have to make sure that we don't get bias entered into AI algorithms. And to prevent that, we need to make sure all populations data are entered not just a certain segment of a population. So we need to make sure Caucasian, African American, Asian American, Latino as well as any Native American, these populations have to be entered into the AI databases, because then you can get a true picture of what you need to do, rather than having a bias. So those are areas that we have to be cautious about. Gina DiPietro  8:42  As Dr Eskioglu put it, healthcare systems should approach AI with three pillars. I'll let him explain.Dr. Eric Eskioglu  8:48  First of all, from safety and quality. You know, we want to make sure whatever AI project we do is going to improve the safety and quality. So there may be an operation where somebody may be diagnosing the patient, but it has to improve the safety and quality. The second one is it has to lower the cost by unifying the protocols. The third one is it has to provide access to health equity. So those three pillars have kept us really in check. I always said, if you provide the highest quality clinical care with the help of AI, if you lower the cost, you are going to have quite a bit of money coming back in to be able to put for your mission, in not for profits. You will be able to invest in further things. And these things are not cheap. But you know, if you save more lives, if you prevent hospital acquired infections, if you provide serious safety issues in the hospitals - you'll be able to get to a point where you know you're one of the best in the country. And people will seek you out.Gina DiPietro  9:45  Looking ahead, he's especially excited about a few other things as well. I'll let him wrap up our conversation.Dr. Eric Eskioglu  9:51  The other things that's going to speed up AI is the quantum computing. It's here. It started last year. Google was the first company to be able to achieve that. So that's going to rapidly increase. The other thing that excites me is the fact that we can provide health care equity, using AI for all the populations we serve. I think that's going to be tremendous. I've always said it, the basic promise of democracy is health care access to everyone. And if you don't have your health, you can't have your economic upward mobility. So health is the most important asset you have. Forget about your house, forget about your car, forget about your bank account. The most important asset in your life that you will have is your health. The other thing I'm really interested excited what we call ambient intelligence. So artificial intelligence is your data, what we do with your data and how we make it work for you. Ambient intelligence is the data surrounding how does that affect your health? That's going to take more and more center stage since the environmental factors. We're going to be able to notice that if you're getting out of a bed, are you more likely to fall? We're going to be able to notice that. And that's what you know, a lot of our lives revolve around right now with our cars. What the sensors they have is AI, but what we call ambient intelligence, it gathers the data around your environment, and feeds it to you. So there's going to be two components -the AI, which is going to be your own personal medical healthcare data, that's going to affect how you get treated, but also the ambient intelligence, which includes social determinants of health. And those two combined with astute physicians who really utilize AI and again, I program in Python, you don't have to be a programmer in Python, you just have to have a basic understanding of AI and how it's going to help your patients. So I'd like to think people to think outside the box when we get to that point.Gina DiPietro  11:45  Gina DiPietro here and thank you for listening to this episode of Industry Insights: A healthcare podcast presented by Novant Health.

Mike Kuniavsky on the mindshift needed to design for ecosystems

The O'Reilly Design Podcast: Designing for IoT, service design, and predictive analytics.This week's episode of the Design Podcast features a conversation I had with Mike Kuniavsky last fall. Kuniavsky is a user experience designer, researcher, and author currently working at Parc. He's also a speaker at the upcoming O'Reilly online conference "Designing for the Internet of Things," September 15, 2016. In our chat, Kuniavsky talks about designing for the IoT, service design, and the mindshift needed to design for ecosystems.Here are some highlights: Every new medium is the old medium I was reading this book that was published by Philips Design on their Ambient Intelligence project. They actually thought through the entire Internet of Things thing about 15 years ago, and then they couldn't make any money on it, and all those people went away. Now it's actually a real thing. They left some really good documentation. I was reading the Philips Design book, and they had a very interesting point from mine and probably one of Tim O'Reilly's favorite theorists, Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan essentially said that the content of every new medium is the old medium. Every new medium subsumes the old medium of the content until you actually figure out what the new medium is. When television came about, the stuff that was initially on television was essentially radio, until they actually figured out what television was good for. When radio came out, it was people reading the newspaper on the radio, until they figured out what radio was good for. It's like that going all the way back. Right now, in the Internet of Things, we're in this place where the content of the Internet of Things is the pre-Internet of Things world. It's all of the things that are either currently not connected, which are everyday objects, or it's the electronic things which are being shoehorned. What we're trying to do is we're trying to get over that hump and trying to figure out what are the natively interesting qualities of the Internet of Things that make it really different than home automation, which has been around for 30 years and has been an abject failure on every front, or simply connecting appliances to the Internet. On UX design and service design We're really looking hard at service design as a model. The funny thing is, service design isn't even a mature thing. It's not like we can import an entire discipline. Service design was a just a couple puzzle pieces just a couple years ago. It wasn't a finished product as it is. We're trying to take those puzzle pieces and we're trying to say, OK, now what happens when all of these different components of a service, these different things that service design is looking at—they describe front of house, back of house, different kinds of players and actors within that space—what if we replaced some of those with devices? What if we replaced some of those things with sensors and actuators? What happens to the service in that situation? That's how we're trying to envision an entire ecosystem without actually having any of the pieces of it in place. There's this slippery slope between service design and UX design. I think UX design is more digital, and service design allows itself to include things like a poster that's on a wall in a lobby, or a little card that gets mailed to people, or a human being that they can talk to, and what does that human being say and under what circumstances do they say it. Service design takes a slightly broader view, whereas UX design is still—and I think usefully—focused largely on the digital aspect of it. Pattern matching and predictive analytics I'm interested in, broadly speaking, predictive analytics—I should say, machine learning, statistical modeling, but specifically in predictive statistical modeling, predictive machine learning. I think that really that is the new superpower. That is literally looking into the future with some degree of confidence. In a place where you would never normally be able to look into the future, like identifying how often I pick up my cup of coffee. My cup of coffee would never have been able to tell me that before. Now it can. Again, to some degree, and that's really interesting. That's really a different relationship. That's to me a big shift in our relationship to our everyday objects and their relationship to how they can—as per my earlier point—how they can make our lives better. That's why I'm really interested in the predictive stuff right now. We as humans have no idea how limited our sensors are, our own personal ability to sense the world. We're really good at pattern matching in certain ways, and we're really not very good in many other ways, and we've never really had a very good way to compensate for that. Now, to some extent, we do, and that's really interesting.

Voce del Glossario a cura di Anna Galtineri TECNOLOGIE ADATTIVE “Le tecnologie adattive sono tecnologie che modificano la loro configurazione e la loro interazione in base alle risposte degli utenti e all’ambiente in cui esse avvengono” (Epasto, A. A., 2009). Le tecnologie adattive fanno riferimento alla cornice teorica indicata con l’espressione Ambient Intelligence e cioè «intelligenza disposta intorno a noi». Tale espressione è stata coniata da Emile Aarts, che prese spunto dagli studi e dalle teorie di Weiser e Norman. Con tecnologie adattive s’intendono le tecnologie in grado di modificare automaticamente le caratteristiche dell’interfaccia e del compito in funzione delle modalità di utilizzo e dei (presunti) bisogni dell’utente. Un esempio di tale tecnologia è la funzione chiamata “Keyword suggestions” di Google, la quale, mentre digitiamo i termini della nostra ricerca, in automatico inizia a proporci una lista dei termini che più corrispondono a quelli che stiamo cercando, ordinati per popolarità. Esempi analoghi sono: l’autocompletamento delle parole di Openoffice writer (che “apprende” le parole a mano a mano che vengono scritte e successivamente le suggerisce allo scrivente) oppure la tecnologia T9 per la scrittura negli apparecchi mobili. Anche i tag cloud utilizzati nel web facilitano la navigazione personalizzando in maniera adattiva la visualizzazione dei link pertinenti. Le piattaforme di e-learning si avvalgono di tecnologie adattive volte a migliorare l’efficacia delle specifiche metodologie didattiche. Stiamo parlando di Adaptive and Intelligent Web-Based Educational System – sistemi di educazione intelligente e adattativa basata sul WEB). Tali sistemi si avvalgono di tecnologie come il filtraggio adattivo di informazioni (che sperimentiamo quando i motori di ricerca ci propongono le risposte alle nostre “domande”) e il wiki che consente la creazione collaborativa di contenuti e di reti di concetti, evidenziati dalla “tessitura” automatica di link ipertestuali che cresce con l’espandersi del contenuto creato. Le tecnologie adattive, nel migliorare continuamente l’accessibilità di un’interfaccia, segnano un passo in avanti verso una tecnologia sempre più intelligente e capace di rispondere autonomamente ai bisogni dell’utente.
