here is your daily industry news briefing

18
00:00:44,305 --> 00:00:46,085
for today, December 13th.

19
00:00:47,135 --> 00:00:51,365
First, Google is launching new
healthcare AI models that aim

20
00:00:51,365 --> 00:00:53,165
to assist clinicians and researchers

21
00:00:53,185 --> 00:00:55,005
and conducting intricate studies

22
00:00:55,845 --> 00:00:59,005
summarizing clinician patient
interactions and more.

23
00:00:59,365 --> 00:01:02,605
CNBC reported the suite of AI models.

24
00:01:02,905 --> 00:01:05,925
Dub me Lmm compromises a large

25
00:01:05,945 --> 00:01:10,245
and medium-sized AI model, AI
model, both based on Med Palm.

26
00:01:10,345 --> 00:01:13,565
Two, a language model trained
on medical data initially

27
00:01:13,565 --> 00:01:15,285
announced by Google in March.

28
00:01:16,105 --> 00:01:19,485
As of December 13th, the
AI model is available

29
00:01:19,585 --> 00:01:22,405
for eligible Google Cloud
customers in the us.

30
00:01:23,225 --> 00:01:25,085
The tech company noted that the cost

31
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:27,125
of the AI suite varies based on the

32
00:01:27,125 --> 00:01:28,605
utilization of different models.

33
00:01:28,875 --> 00:01:32,085
With the medium sized model
being comparatively more cost

34
00:01:32,115 --> 00:01:34,005
effective, Ash

35
00:01:34,005 --> 00:01:37,245
and me, go Gupta, the Global
Director of Healthcare Strategy

36
00:01:37,305 --> 00:01:40,205
and Solutions at Google
Cloud told the publication

37
00:01:40,205 --> 00:01:42,285
that Google observed varying effectiveness

38
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:45,365
among medically tuned AI
models for a specific task.

39
00:01:46,155 --> 00:01:49,485
This realization prompted the
company to introduce a suite

40
00:01:49,485 --> 00:01:53,525
of models rather than pursuing
a one size fits all solution.

41
00:01:54,425 --> 00:01:56,805
For example, Google
highlighted that its larger

42
00:01:57,385 --> 00:02:00,925
Med Lmm model excels at
handling complex tasks,

43
00:02:01,075 --> 00:02:02,805
requiring extensive knowledge

44
00:02:03,025 --> 00:02:05,805
and significant computing
power, power, such

45
00:02:05,805 --> 00:02:09,045
as conducting studies using
data from an entire patient

46
00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:11,725
population within a
healthcare organization.

47
00:02:12,825 --> 00:02:16,245
On the other hand, if companies
require a more agile model

48
00:02:16,435 --> 00:02:17,765
optimized for specific

49
00:02:17,865 --> 00:02:20,165
or real-time functions, such as summary

50
00:02:20,805 --> 00:02:22,805
summarizing interactions
between clinicians

51
00:02:22,805 --> 00:02:24,845
and patients, the medium-sized model

52
00:02:24,905 --> 00:02:26,045
is deemed more suitable.

53
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:30,205
According to Mr. Gupta,
Google also said it plans

54
00:02:30,205 --> 00:02:33,205
to introduce healthcare
specific versions of Gemini.

55
00:02:33,505 --> 00:02:37,205
Its latest AI model to
Med LM in the future.

56
00:02:38,185 --> 00:02:41,085
The tech giant released
Gemini on December 7th.

57
00:02:41,085 --> 00:02:42,565
According to the publication,

58
00:02:43,685 --> 00:02:46,005
HEA healthcare is
already working out plans

59
00:02:46,025 --> 00:02:47,325
to test the Gemini model

60
00:02:47,585 --> 00:02:50,045
and is working to implement Med lmm.

61
00:02:50,985 --> 00:02:52,965
Second, a survey

62
00:02:53,065 --> 00:02:55,565
of hospital executives from
digital health company.

63
00:02:55,815 --> 00:02:58,685
Panda Health found that
virtual nursing was the digital

64
00:02:59,165 --> 00:03:01,165
- Hospital tool with
the lowest adoption rate

65
00:03:01,225 --> 00:03:02,885
and most overstated value.

66
00:03:03,825 --> 00:03:06,085
The survey of a hundred
hospital leaders found

67
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:09,445
that just 13% have used
virtual nursing technology

68
00:03:09,505 --> 00:03:10,565
in their organization.

69
00:03:11,645 --> 00:03:15,165
Additionally, more than a
third of leaders, 35% said

70
00:03:15,165 --> 00:03:17,885
that the value of virtual
nursing was overstated.

71
00:03:18,875 --> 00:03:21,645
Despite the current low rate
of virtual nursing adoption,

72
00:03:21,825 --> 00:03:22,845
31%

73
00:03:22,845 --> 00:03:24,485
of hospital executives said they would

74
00:03:24,485 --> 00:03:25,565
be using the technology.

75
00:03:25,665 --> 00:03:29,965
By the end of 2024, 19% of
hospital executives said

76
00:03:29,965 --> 00:03:32,125
that the effect of virtual nursing is is

77
00:03:32,125 --> 00:03:33,485
understated in value.

78
00:03:35,015 --> 00:03:39,685
Third Epic Nexus, a subsidiary
of Epic, has become one

79
00:03:39,685 --> 00:03:41,205
