SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: What patients actually think about ‘minimally invasive’ brain implants
Scroll through the flashy websites of neurotechnology startups and a phrase repeats again and again: “minimally invasive.”
“The term is fuzzy, problematic,” said Anna Wexler, a medical ethics and health policy professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. “Is it physical invasiveness? We’re not sure, it’s a fraught term.”
The fuzziness hasn’t stopped most brain-computer interface startups from deploying it in a bid to differentiate their devices from others in development. Synchron, Motif Neurotech, Precision Neuroscience, and Merge Labs all use it liberally. Journalists sometimes repeat the spin.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: FDA pilot offers generative AI medical devices a path to patients before they are authorized
As the Food and Drug Administration wrestles with how to regulate medical devices that rely on generative artificial intelligence to make decisions about care, it’s provisionally allowing some developers to launch their products on the market.
AI products from Cadence and Limbic are among four devices recently accepted into the agency’s TEMPO pilot program that will allow digital health companies to release their products without marketing authorization.
The pilot is intended to beef up the number of technologies available for the Medicare ACCESS model, an experiment in paying for technology to help beneficiaries manage chronic conditions. But it also offers the agency and companies the opportunity to experiment with AI regulation in the real world.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: When it comes to women’s health, money talks
The flip side of each new discovery about women’s health is a history of research neglect. Now, as federal funding becomes increasingly precarious, some advocates, academics, and executives are appealing to another incentive.
It’s called the profit motive.
If disparities in women’s health were fully addressed, a 2024 World Economic Forum report estimated, by 2040 that could boost global economic productivity annually by $1 trillion. In the U.S., that would mean recovering about $300 billion in lost economic productivity.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Sword Health to acquire Headspace, according to filing
Sword Health, a digital health company known for its AI-powered virtual physical therapy offering, plans to acquire mental health company Headspace, according to a regulatory filing.
Headspace on July 22nd reported a “material change” to the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission indicating that its parent company, OrangeDot, proposes to be acquired by Sword for a cash payment. The deal will be effective September 14, according to the paperwork. The value of the transaction was not disclosed. (The paperwork was first identified by Healthcare Dealflow.)
Sword last raised $40 million in 2025 in a deal valuing the company over $4 billion, and the proposed deal comes as Sword health aims to expand its platform to more areas, including mental health. The company has raised a total of $493 million so far, according to PitchBook.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: AI is good at catching drug theft at hospitals, but only when humans do their part
In late September 2024, patients noticed a nurse at Adventist Health in Bakersfield, Calif., was acting strangely.
The nurse was walking barefoot through the intensive care unit, talking to herself and acting abrasively toward others. Family members of patients noticed the nurse sloppily taking out IV needles but were afraid to confront her. “I know she was on something because you can tell,” one family member told federal investigators after the incident.
Another patient in the post-anesthesiology recovery unit treated by the same nurse was in excruciating pain under her care. “I was white knuckling it,” he said. “You’re not dying,” the nurse replied when the patient expressed his pain. He thought he was being given fentanyl and morphine, but the IV drip didn’t seem to help.
That’s because the nurse, hired through a travel nursing agency several weeks before the incident, was taking the medications from a secured cabinet in the wing and using them herself, while documenting that they had been administered to patients, according to investigators from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services tasked with investigating a complaint about the incident in November 2024.
The incident didn’t happen out of the blue. Hospital managers ignored alerts from a machine learning software that tracks when staff might be stealing drugs, auditors found.
Hospitals are major repositories of addictive substances that can also be crucial medical treatments. Occasionally, employees steal those drugs and are under the influence while caring for patients. While new technologies are helping to identify theft and connect individuals with substance abuse resources, incidents like the one at Adventist show artificial intelligence isn’t foolproof.

The Food and Drug Administration says it is developing a plan for how to regulate medical devices that use generative artificial intelligence.
The FDA will eventually release documents spelling out agency policies regarding the technology, Rick Abramson, director of the agency’s Digital Health Center of Excellence, told STAT.
“Our goal is formal policy guidance,” he said in an interview. “The ecosystem is expecting clarity. We seek to provide that clarity, and I’ll also throw in that I think the ecosystem can expect not only broad guidance on the overall topic of generative AI, but also some more narrowly constructed specialty guidance on particular generative AI topics of special interest or special complexity.”

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: How health systems are embracing chatbots to query and summarize patient records
The pathologists were stumped. Six people had tried to identify a patient’s cancer based on a recent lymph node biopsy. They’d stained the cells 70 times to try to draw out more distinguishing features — but still, nobody had an answer.
At Stanford, a physician called onto the case was trying out a new tool called ChatEHR, one of several large language model-powered tools being deployed by health systems to summarize patients’ often-extensive medical records. It got a question: Did the patient have any history of skin lesions? After some back-and-forth, from the depths of the patient’s history, ChatEHR delivered an answer: In a different health system, the patient had previously been diagnosed with sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma.
It “completely explained the findings in the lymph node,” wrote the happy doctor in their feedback for the chatbot. “If that doesn’t prove the value of ChatEHR, I don’t know what does!”
This was the kind of needle in a haystack doctors hoped to find when health systems first started experimenting with generative AI tools like ChatEHR to search and synthesize patients’ health records. Clinicians often struggle to find the information they need to care for patients, because modern electronic health records have gotten so bloated. Today, a number of health systems are moving toward broad implementation of chatbots for EHRs, both homegrown and vendor-built. And it turns out that solving diagnostic mysteries is the least of their selling points.

Before and after intermission at its annual meeting, a couple Epic staffers announce a list of new customers (and which EHR that health system switched from). They also play a snippet of a song that goes along with the health system’s name or location — e.g., Louis Armstrong’s “Hello Dolly” for the Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital.
Here’s what I’d love to know: Who picks these songs? Seems like a tough job. For another song that played during the executive address, scroll down to Song of the Week.

This is the online version of STAT’s weekly email newsletter Health Care Inc. Sign up here.
Hello, everyone. Like usual, I’m writing to you from northwest Indiana. But the circumstances are a bit different: We had power for four days. At least six tornadoes touched down in the area as part of a sprawling derecho — the worst storms I’ve experienced in my life, by far. Mother Nature remains undefeated. Talk to me about sump pumps and your health care tips: [email protected].
The taxman is coming for UnitedHealth Group
The Internal Revenue Service is investigating UnitedHealth, “seeking to significantly increase taxable income” from 2017 through 2020, and may force UnitedHealth to pay more “for subsequent years after 2020,” the health insurer revealed in a recent regulatory filing.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Epic confronts unprecedented challenges as it prepares to address customers and unveil road map
Every August, Epic Systems founder Judy Faulkner holds court with over 20,000 people, including staff and executives from her most devoted customers, in an auditorium buried five stories into the Wisconsin earth. At the company’s annual meeting, she takes the stage to unveil her company’s latest innovations — products that inevitably form a technological road map for America’s hospitals.
This year, the crowd will also be watching Faulkner’s speech for another reason.
The company she founded nearly half a century ago, now the nation’s dominant seller of electronic health records software, is facing an unprecedented series of challenges driven by antitrust lawsuits, questions about its artificial intelligence strategy, an exodus of key technology leaders, and, most recently, the disclosure that state and federal investigators are looking into the company’s business practices.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: Epic’s alleged anti-competitive practices under scrutiny from federal, state investigators
The Federal Trade Commission is examining Epic Systems Corp., the nation’s largest vendor of electronic health records, for potential violations of antitrust law as part of a broad inquiry into the company’s business practices, according to three people who were recently contacted by investigators.
The probe is in its early stages and may never lead to charges against Epic, whose dominant market position and control of Americans’ health data has rapidly accelerated in recent years. But the people contacted by investigators — who work in or advise health care businesses that interface with Epic — said they were asked about a wide range of issues relating to company policies and practices that have generated continual complaints and lawsuits from former employees and rival companies.

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/08/14/health-insurance-companies-maha-surveillance/?utm_campaign=rss
After doing three loops around the parking lot, you finally see a free spot. You step on the gas to claim it, but an SUV cuts in front of you and steals the space. You stomp on the brakes, jerking to a halt. You might forgive the other driver, but your Toyota remembers.
Later, as you drive home, your eyes wander to the restaurant that just opened on the corner. Your car loudly beeps you back to attention, the dashboard scolding, “keep eyes on the road.” Your car is watching you, and that hard stop and brief glance to the side are data sent directly to your car insurer, churning into an algorithm that decides your future premiums.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Commure terminates payments under its customer referral programs tied to AI products
Commure, a $7 billion health software company that sells artificial intelligence tools to medical clinics, has terminated a program through which it was paying parties for referrals to new customers, according to company emails obtained by STAT.
The emails, sent by Commure’s chief legal officer, Dan Brian, inform members of the partnership program that their payment agreements will be terminated 30 days from receipt of the company’s notice. One email, dated Aug. 6, states that anything owed under the agreement as of the termination date will be “paid in full.”
The notice was sent to members of the program six days prior to the publication of a STAT investigation that found the company offers to pay thousands of dollars to customers and other parties to refer its AI products to new business prospects. STAT first asked about the referral arrangements in an email to Brian on June 5.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: What Medicare incentives for AI-based devices mean for tech companies — and hospitals
For hospitals, the promise of artificial intelligence is financial as much as clinical. A hospital might deploy an AI device because it promises to throw up an alert that could save a patient’s life — but the technology is far more likely to stick if it proves it can drive down costs.
Convincing hospitals and health systems that a new technology will provide that return on investment is tricky, though. So some AI startups have benefited from a temporary sweetener that helps customers get on board: Certain new technologies can apply to get add-on payments from Medicare for two or three years after they come to market. The tax-dollar-funded payments are meant as an incentive to help get new, expensive medical technologies to patients.
If a hospital thinks, “‘Oh, you’re not 100% sure you have the money, or you don’t necessarily believe 100% of the assumptions in the ROI,’ then you know what? You have this safety net, at least for the next few years,” said Tom Valent, chief business officer at Aidoc.

Scroll through the flashy websites of neurotechnology startups and a phrase repeats again and again: “minimally invasive.”
“The term is fuzzy, problematic,” said Anna Wexler, a medical ethics and health policy professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. “Is it physical invasiveness? We’re not sure, it’s a fraught term.”
The fuzziness hasn’t stopped most brain-computer interface startups from deploying it in a bid to differentiate their devices from others in development. Synchron, Motif Neuroscience, Precision Neuroscience, and Merge Labs all use it liberally. Journalists sometimes repeat the spin.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Inside a $7 billion Silicon Valley startup’s mad dash to automate the business of health care
From its inception, Commure was built on the dream of automation.
The Silicon Valley technology company set out in 2020 to build a new operating system for health care. Its executives began to cast the company as a kind of Robin Hood: It would leverage artificial intelligence to take power and money from massive insurers and other industry giants — and give it back to doctors.
“I would love a world where the market cap of a UnitedHealth is a fifth, but every doctor is a millionaire,” Commure CEO Tanay Tandon said in a recent interview with Y Combinator, an investor in the company, currently valued at $7 billion.
But Commure isn’t just promising to fatten doctors’ wallets with money from insurers. For those willing to talk up its AI, it also offers to kick in compensation of its own.
A STAT investigation found the company offers thousands of dollars, in various forms, to medical clinics and other parties who refer its products to new business prospects. The compensation is part of a strategy to swiftly sell AI tools it says can unburden clinicians burned out by health care’s endless bureaucratic morass.
Based in Mountain View, Calif., Commure is among the most ambitious and all-encompassing efforts to automate the administrative tasks that underlie these businesses. Many of its customers speak of the company in heroic terms. In marketing videos and podcast interviews, they testify that its products for billing, scheduling, and clinical documentation have restored joy, and reliable revenue, to their practices. The company claims its tools are used by more than 500 health care organizations across the country, including “130 of the nation’s largest health systems,” such as for-profit giants HCA Healthcare and Tenet Healthcare.

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/08/11/nurses-seek-involvement-clinical-ai-decisions/?utm_campaign=rss
Nurses, who make up the largest part of the health care workforce, are getting more vocal about the risks posed by clinical artificial intelligence to their jobs and patient care as the technology makes deeper inroads into the practice of medicine.
At Montefiore hospital in the Bronx, laid-off nurses have raised the alarm about administrative AI they say is replacing them. Across the country in California, nurses at Kaiser Permanente are striking and picketing against the AI surveilling their work and playing a growing role in patient care. Collectively, the loudest voices have come from unions like National Nurses United, which represents over 200,000 nurses, including those at Kaiser and Montefiore.
As that workplace advocacy and bargaining continue, educators and researchers also have their eyes on the future: They’re trying to build solutions to support the next generation of nurses through training and involvement in how patient-facing AI is developed and deployed. By giving nurses a voice in AI’s inevitable disruption of health care, they hope to make the current adversarial relationship more collaborative.
