Healthcare is a complex journey. S. Monica Soni, MD and Shruti Kothari write for Fierce Healthcare that our system today often fails to account for the complexity of patient’s lives, too often treating them as one-size-fits-all. Merit Medicine aims to help by making everything about the benefits experience feel more tailored to you.

Kim Bellard says we need a new 21st century infrastructure for healthcare. New approaches to data and information and a clear understanding of how to integrate AI are key to his vision. Merit Medicine aims to be part of his "common vision about how AI can or should transform health care." Is the manifesto missing anything to create a healthcare system worthy of the 21st century?

Recently, Blue Shield of California announced new programs for gut health and weight loss. We can agree that more care options are generally good, but when you’re building your plan for 2025, how do you know if these plans will help your specific patient population? With Merit Medicine, you can apply the knowledge gleaned from tens of millions of patient journeys to your own patient population to see which individual point solutions are right for you.

Exciting to see more examples, at scale, of AI to drive better patient outcomes. It is fascinating to see the expansion of AI use-cases from improved productivity & efficiency to improving patients' quality of life and how care is delivered. #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalOutcomes

Using AI, Teladoc Health recently implemented a personalized ‘nudge’ program that boosted user engagement 3x and lowered participant A1c. Another really interesting example of how the scale of a healthcare problem can be tackled by AI that can personalize and customize to a smaller patient population to provide the best results possible. That's what drives us at Merit Medicine.

"Patients monitored with AI had a?lower mortality rate after 30 days (7%) compared to the group monitored by traditional methods (9.3%)." Doctors are already working to augment their treatment and diagnosis capabilities with AI. The AI's key strength lies in its ability to go wide, assessing info from everywhere, while also keeping up to date on everything new coming out. Seeing what might be hidden to the naked eye is part of why Merit Medicine believes in using patient journeys to predict medical spend. What would you think if ChatGPT helped your doctor at your next check-in?

AI is impacting all aspects of healthcare. Pangaea Data's Vibhor Gupta recently spoke with HIMSS Media's Andrea Fox about using AI to find undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and miscoded patients in the UK's NHS. Through their work, they were able to catch patients with cachexia, or wasting syndrome, that were initially missed.
