Mayo Clinic launches new AI-assisted virtual care collaboration
Mayo Clinic in Florida explores the potential of ambient clinical intelligence in order to allow a more proactive approach to the provision of care, and potentially reduce hospitalizations and severity of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients.
Why it matters
Hellocare.ai, based in Clearwater, Florida ,, which develops ambient documentation, digital white tables, patient engagement tools and home hospital services, the new Mayo Clinic Partnership announced on Tuesday.
“Our mission is to combine global class care with innovation anticipating and resolves the challenges of health care of tomorrow,” said Dr. Kent Thielen, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Florida, in a press release.
Intelligent hospital platforms that include virtual rounding tools, admission and virtual exit improved by AI can help health care organizations to put surveillance, optimize clinical resources and improve patient results. The platform can also give patients access to a 24/7 virtual support.
“Innovative technology plays a key role in our new hospital expansion – allowing more intelligent and more connected care environments that improve patient and staff experience,” said Thielen.
“Our recent expansion of the hospital is more than adding beds; it is a question of reinventing the patient and clinician’s experience,” added Dr. Michael Manaci, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.
“By integrating advanced technologies such as ambient clinical intelligence and digital engagement tools, we have created a care environment where patients are more connected and clinicians can focus more on personalized care.”
In April, Hellocare announced that it had obtained $ 47 million in investment. Thanks to the new partnership, Mayo Clinic has a financial participation in the success of technology. According to Hellocare’s announcement, Mayo Clinic uses all the income he receives to support his mission of patient care, education and non -profit research.
The biggest trend
Other health systems turn to virtual care technologies for modeling to modernize and raise care for patients and staff experiences, improve safety and reduce operational costs.
It has also been shown that AI -focused virtual care platforms improve the deployment of clinical resources, resulting in greater planning flexibility for employees and rationalizing or eliminating repetitive administrative tasks that cause professional exhaustion.
They can also make care to patients more personalized, Jong Yeob Kim, a researcher from the Institute for Development of the Korea Health Industry, said at the HIMSS24 APAC conference
The project of the Khidi smart hospital, which started in 2020, involved 17 hospitals in South Korea. Since the launch of the program, he has developed and deployed 74 smart hospital tools.
Improving patient experiences is what differentiates an intelligent hospital from a digital hospital, said Kim.
“We fear that there is a certain resistance to digitization, since hospitals have many elderly patients,” he explained during his presentation. “But when we really conducted a national patient survey, many said it was very practical and that these smart hospitals should develop in the future.”
At the same time as
“Collaborating with Mayo Clinic – the number one number one hospital – on ambient clinical intelligence allows us to push the limits of what is possible with AI, which leads to a more intelligent, safer and more reactive care scale,” said Labinot bytyqi, founder and CEO of Hellocare, in a press release.
