Stanford Spezi

Collaboration Beyond Borders: Stanford University visits gematik GmbH ?? This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a team from the Stanford Biodesign Digital Health as part of their visit to Germany. Led by Oliver Aalami and Paul Schmiedmayer, the Stanford team with Andreas Bauer & Aydin Zahedivash is advancing patient-centered healthcare technology with their modular FHIR framework, “Spezi.” This innovative platform, which is available to the public, supports the development of digital health apps that are tested in real-world clinical settings with real patients at Stanford Medical Care. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/d4gVaYcj. Their framework focuses on specific patient needs, including - On-device language models (LLMs), allowing patients to interact with their health records via a chatbot for clearer understanding - FHIR-based forms for admissions and consent (with digital signatures) - Monitoring via Bluetooth-enabled devices for tracking weight, blood pressure, and even Parkinson’s tremor detection We had so much to talk about that we sat down and shared thoughts for four hours! It was a pleasure to dive deep into Stanford’s cutting-edge work and exchange ideas on where the future of digital health is headed. Stanford’s keen interest in making these health apps accessible to the broader population aligns perfectly with Germany’s Telematics Infrastructure – a promising pathway to enhance digital health access for all. ?? A big thank you to Timo Frank, Dennis Hahn & Charly Bunar, whose live demo of the E-prescription app and the ePA left our visitors truly impressed!

Building bridges between Technical University of Munich and Stanford University to scale access to care ?? Together with TUM Venture Labs, we hosted a workshop where students, innovators, and clinicians brought clinical needs from TUM Universit?tsklinikum Klinikum rechts der Isar and went through the highlights of the identification and invention steps of the Stanford Biodesign process, reviewed the Stanford Spezi framework, and formed plans to co-create new digital health solutions ?? We were captivated by the innovative work that clinicians and researchers are doing with remote patient monitoring, virtual and augmented reality, implanted smart devices, and AI applied to genetic, audio, and image analyses. There are numerous new opportunities to bring our groups together! ?? A huge thank you to Felicitas Eidenschink, the entire TUM Venture Labs team, Med-Dev, and Heinz Nixdort Stiftung for hosting us, UnternehmerTUM for forming this bridge between Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign and Technical University of Munich, and to everyone involved in making this visit successful. Looking forward to future collaborations that will grow from the past week??? cc: Felicitas Eidenschink, Dr. Sabine Klein, Luisa Lühdorff, Helmut Schoenenberger, Prof. Dr. med.

We’re excited to announce that the Pediatric Apple Watch Study (PAWS) has officially launched! PAWS is a prospective study designed to understand how wearables such as the Apple Watch can be used to characterize arrhythmias in children. Monitoring children’s heart rhythms carries a unique set of nuances, and the data in children is relatively limited. Our team has found some encouraging results from a?retrospective study?done here at Stanford, and this prospective study will help further investigate the diagnosis utility of wearables in children. Projects like PAWS are especially impactful because investment in pediatric digital health traditionally lags that in adults. While wearable devices like the Apple Watch obtain more health-related and FDA approved features, we want to emphasize the importance of pediatric use cases. We’re excited to be working to advance digital health for children! The application was built using our?Stanford Spezi?framework and is available as an?open-source project. We are excited to continue collecting data and insights and looking forward to enabling AI-driven classifications of children’s heart rhythms in the future. Congratulations to the study team, Aydin Zahedivash, Scott Ceresnak, Paul Schmiedmayer, Vicky Bikia, PhD, Vishnu Ravi, MD, and Oliver Aalami, and huge shoutout Garrick Olson and his implementation team and to our CS 342 students who designed the app: Matthew Turk, Shriya R., Caitlin Kunchur, Ananya Vasireddy, Danny Park, Julia Rhee, Pia Bocanegra, Raghav Samavedam, Riya Karumanchi, Sidharth Gopisetty.
