Digital formularies evolving into an important path to market for health tech. The clinical, technical, and service standards that PBMs implement vary today, likely to converge becoming de facto standards for the rest of health tech.

Exciting announcement from Humana. They are rolling out a new plan to reimburse for evaluating and addressing social determinants of health. Limited program today, will be interesting to see if this gets rolled out nationally.

Would love to see @Walmart take a leadership role in preventative health by tying their health clinics to healthier grocery and lifestyle recommendations. Could Walmart grocery of the future match live health advisors with consumers to inform choices?

Which external industry is best poised to disrupt healthcare? Article below suggests retail - Walmart, etc in 2020. Better answer is modernizing healthcare will take a coordinated effort by multiple stakeholders, in collaboration with healthcare system!

Prior authorization is a workflow ripe for optimization with AI. It is a cumbersome process for patients, providers, and payers. Leveraging AI to identify and make predictive recommendations to close gaps in documentation could be a major step forward.

Workflow improvement is a primary application for AI in healthcare. Hospitals are investing in operational & financial use cases, but clinical use cases grab most of the headlines. The article below describes a similar scenario playing out in radiology:

Interesting application of AI to identify disease outbreaks. According to this article a company identified Coronavirus outbreak a week before the CDC. The article shares some of the data used to generate the predictions, combining airline data is clever.

Healthcare AI startups raise record $4B in 2019 and had 2nd most M&A activity for the year, behind Customer and Sales Support systems. @Optum quoted In the article indicating that half of healthcare execs expect less than three year ROI for AI projects.

Breaking down healthcare data silos is a must to enable personalized medicine. Companies like @Nference solving that challenge. Playbook looks to be start with Pharma which is willing to invest today, then expand. IP should extend to payers and providers.

How valuable is training data for AI? US moves to place export restrictions on software used to annotate training data sets from geospatial images for neural nets. Note that algorithms themselves aren’t restricted. Value is in the data!

Wide cross-section of companies funded in 2019, majority are seed/A. Will be interesting to watch in 2020 with greater VC focus on profit. Top earners are B2B: security, sales/mktg, and operations - unlock enterprise bigdata = $$$ https://t.co/71SWPLnrFL

VA’s Telehealth Clinic for Cancer Care Is the First in the Nation. Amazing growth in VA Telehealth adoption. This shows how technology can more evenly distribute access to highly specialized care across rural settings. https://t.co/XJ7BNalBDY

Which of these technologies are readers most surprised to see on the list? What other technologies would you propose as an alternative? https://t.co/7iWQbddMuq

First report I’ve seen where a clinical trial approach was taken to study patient engagement with portals. Study hints at an important factor - making the portal usable on the patients device. It doesn’t address content customization which is also key. https://t.co/MSmWZxmvnf

Good article about an important human issue in healthcare - staff burnout. No simple answer to this problem. As healthcare gets more distributed, new opportunities are emerging for nurses that prefer to be mobile or virtual.
