Justin Ramsaran, CEO of R Group, discusses the future of clinical AI data aggregation and real-time predictive monitoring for acute medical conditions.
Opinion
Ramsaran: Epic and Cerner maintain data silos to preserve competitive advantage
“And if you are in the Epic platform, you can't talk to the Cerner platform, right? It's how they kind of keep their Competition, but also keep the information within these own silos as well.”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Ramsaran: Healthcare AI Will Always Require a Human in the Loop
“So for me, augmentation, I think you'll still always have a human in the loop in the healthcare space.”
Assertion Contradicted
Ramsaran: Clinicians spend 80% of their day updating medical records
“What's occurred is you've got clinicians being away from the bedside, and there's now inside of the terminal, we'll call it, but the medical records, 80% of the day taking notes and updating information, reducing what's going on at the bedside care standpoint.”
Insight
Ramsaran: Proprietary vendor connections keep medical device interoperability fragmented
“Interoperability continues to be fragmented because each solution vendor is coming out with their own proprietary connection. You've got, you know, we'll, we'll call it the big names, but if you've got a patient monitor and a ventilator, you've got to use this…”
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Ramsaran: Data exchange frameworks will force medical device makers into open architectures
“That comes from a downstream of areas too, where it will start to impact medical device manufacturers needing to meet, be more data oriented, and be able to have more open architectures and the ways that they communicate the information.”
Insight
Ramsaran: Adding standalone healthcare AI applications increases systemic fragmentation
“Everyone is now creating new data systems, creating new AI applications, AI devices, but inherently, if you're adding these in, you're also creating more fragmentation because We now have to use this AI application that only works with this device or only will…”
