The rise of AI-powered health apps that claim to diagnose conditions in real time is transforming how we approach healthcare. From symptom checkers to wearable ECG monitors and AI stethoscope apps, these tools promise early diagnoses and personalized healthcare at our fingertips. What if they go wrong?
China recently opened their first-ever AI Hospital with public pilot launches in May 2025.
Increasing patient demand, barriers to access, and elevated costs are pushing healthcare providers to reconsider traditional clinical and operational workflows to meet growing challenges and improve patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and digital therapeutic solutions are streamlining processes and expanding the possibilities for reimagining care delivery. As these technologies converge, the shift from complex high-cost interventions toward lighter more adaptive care models creates opportunity to better meet the needs of diverse patient populations.
FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is an open standard designed to streamline data sharing within national healthcare systems and across systems in different countries. Its introduction aims to bring more consistency to patient care, ensuring that no matter where healthcare professionals (HCPs) are located, they can access the same up-to-date information on medications and their patients.
How does combining AI with Lean Management significantly improve efficiency in MedTech engineering? AI, much like IDEs or CAD tools before it, is becoming an essential enabler in reducing friction throughout the product development lifecycle—from onboarding and requirements generation to coding and testing—ultimately enhancing both productivity and innovation. By identifying and targeting inefficiencies using Lean principles, MedTech engineering organizations can unlock AI’s full potential to accelerate development and deliver higher-quality healthcare technologies.
This silent crisis has dire consequences. Patients face delays, errors increase and the entire system suffers. This cannot continue. But in the face of such crippling challenges, how can healthcare practices look to improve the interoperability of their systems?
AI and real-time data enhance care efficiency and access. And with healthcare workers in short supply, the rapid advancements in AI, IoMT, and related innovation offer patient access freedom, enhanced care delivery, and better outcomes.
Congress must decide the future of the Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) program, an initiative of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that, without legislative action, will expire on December 31, 2024. To ensure beneficiaries can receive various levels of care in their preferred settings, this brief provides immediate–term federal policy reform recommendations for the potential reauthorization of the AHCAH model while outlining key issues for policymakers to consider when further research and data emerge.
This blog explores the transformative potential of AI assistants in healthcare management and delves into the benefits for providers, medical assistants, and obviously, patients.
CitiusTech Senior VP and Market Head, Healthcare Providers, John Squeo, shares five game-changing shifts that will redefine the future of US healthcare and unlock a more streamlined, accessible and patient-centric system.
