🚨 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲'𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜 🚨 A recent report by Paragon Health Institute, featured in Fierce Healthcare, outlines a roadmap for the incoming administration's approach to healthcare AI policy. Kev Coleman’s recommendations, particularly around allowing AI solutions to operate without a human in the loop to save costs and promoting competition through AI-enabled devices, are bold and thought-provoking. These ideas bring up several important themes for the future of regulation: 1️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Coleman advocates leveraging existing rules for AI safety, fairness, and privacy, avoiding redundant or duplicative laws. This pragmatic approach mirrors insights from a recent paper by Lee Fleisher and Nicoleta Economou in JAMA Health Forum, which explored the possibility of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regulating AI through established patient safety procedures. 2️⃣ 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: AI is not a monolithic technology. Coleman highlights the importance of regulating specific AI types, such as large language models and computer vision, differently, ensuring precise definitions to avoid unintended consequences or unenforceable policies. 3️⃣ 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘄-𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀: Granting AI more autonomy in low-risk areas holds potential for productivity gains and cost savings. However, maintaining trust and safety requires continuous, localized monitoring to ensure these systems remain accurate and non-inferior to human alternatives. As healthcare AI evolves and the new administration’s approach to regulation unfolds, these considerations will be key in balancing innovation and oversight.

“According to Pitchbook Q1 2024, funding for telehealth and digital therapeutics was $1bn for the quarter, similar to the prior three quarters. I find interesting that the smaller VCs are the most active. Alumni Ventures was the most active digital health VC investor in the first quarter with four deals, followed by Connecticut Innovations with three deals. Since 2020, General Catalyst, Alumni Ventures, Gaingels, Optum Ventures, and City Light Capital have led digital health VC investments. Stay tuned this month for my blog post that shares ideas of new business models (despite their current modest size), and the emerging funds who invest in them. They can make a dent in the U.S. healthcare system that amounts to $4.5 trillion dollar annual spend across payors, providers, and patients. https://lnkd.in/gCxMEjt6

"Though AI has successfully been utilized in healthcare for decades, a Pew Research Center survey revealed that 60% are uncomfortable with their provider relying on AI for their own healthcare. This dichotomy is therefore likely due in part to a lack of awareness and understanding around the technology. Before the public is forced to understand complex, revolutionary, future-state technological developments in healthcare, they must understand how the technology is safely used today." Matt Hollingsworth, Carta Healthcare Co-Founder, and Andrew S., MD., recently published an article with HIT Consultant Media sharing the healthcare industry's long history of utilizing AI and suggesting guidelines to help ensure safe and accurate AI usage in new applications.
