We’re probably at peak #generativeAI hype, meaning disillusionment can’t be far behind. But initiatives like the one below—a collective of healthcare providers, health plans, nonprofits and academics committed to “open innovation and radical collaboration”—should help translate hype into headway. #AI

Next week I'll be at #HCIC23 with Emilie Ansel, MBA sharing lessons and hopefully a few laughs about bringing a patient & consumer insight initiative called Catalyst Voice to life. Voice is the brainchild of a brilliant consumer insights leader Kimberley Sammons Drucker, Catalyst by Wellstar's head of innovation Jaimie Clark and Hank Capps, MD FAAFP who captured my imagination with the thought, "If we're shaping the future of healthcare, let's shape it around those experiencing that care-patients and consumers." We've been trying to do just that and hope we do the team proud. To pull it off we've brought on incredible research talent Francis Sullivan and Brian Watkins alongside the creative and strategic talents of Teresa Gonzalez, Fernando Mattos, Kate Riney, Cecilia Castro, without whom Voice wouldn't exist. By the numbers, Voice is regularly engaging 110k Wellstar patients to help shape the future of healthcare. Average n: 1,500 and we're using the insights to inform everything from #VC investment decisions, #innovation pilots, #customerexperience to disruptive trends like #AI in #healthcare. Fun fact, the unstructured data (qualitative, free-form responses submitted by respondents) usually runs about 150 pages that we're using AI to help distill. It's a powerful tool and I'm grateful to be able to share how this concept came to life and where we might be taking it in the future. Voice: https://lnkd.in/gKWBUWzv HCIC: https://lnkd.in/dX3jBmNg

Digital health market intelligence firm Galen Growth | Insights You Can Trust has released its 2023 end-of-year report, which includes four trends driving transformation in 2024: 💸 Digital health market evolution: the COVID-induced "sugar high" came crashing down, with fewer ventures raising funds. 96% of exits in digital health were via M&A. 🤖 A vast but complex environment: digital health is central to the transformation of the healthcare ecosystem but this is not translating to investment. There is excitement, however, around generative AI and this will continue to be an area of focus this year and beyond. 🤝 Partnerships on the rise: AI and generative AI saw a 3% year-on-year increase in the number of partnerships, and this has attracted interest from key players in the tech world, including Google, Microsoft and Amazon, as they add health-specific AI platforms to their portfolios. 🔬 Disrupting clinical research: research solutions made up 20% of the total funding in 2023, and the ability to use digital tools to better target drug discovery efforts and improve clinical trial design is a key priority for many.
