This move comes as competitors like Google and Whoop have introduced screen-free bands that offer fewer distractions and longer battery life. Apple's exploration of alternative designs, including smart rings and circular displays, suggests a significant transformation in its wearab…

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Помогаем детским ревматологам повышать эффективность терапии: ИИ-агент для дистанционного мониторинга
В России около 70 тысяч детей и подростков страдают от ревматических патологий. Это группа заболеваний, при которых иммунная система даёт сбой и атакует собственные ткани — чаще всего суставы. Примерно раз в год ребёнку положена госпитализация в федеральный центр, чтобы проверить состояние и убедиться, что конкретный тип терапии работает. Однако, когда ребёнок возвращается в родной город, рядом может не быть ни одного врача, который знает, что делать с этой терапией. На связи Юлия Шеянова, менеджер проектов в здравоохранении, Центр технологий для общества Yandex Cloud. В этой статье расскажу, как мы в Yandex Cloud вместе с Ассоциацией детских ревматологов (ASPiRRe) и студентом ИТМО сделали ИИ-агента для системы дистанционного мониторинга. Ниже — как он устроен и почему мы доверили модели только две узкие задачи, а все решения о рисках вынесли в детерминированные правила.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Nurses seek a seat at the table as they fight expanding clinical AI
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.

A new wearable patch may help people reach REM sleep faster and remain there longer without medication or surgery. In a study of 28 participants, the device shortened the time to REM by 43 minutes and extended it by about 16 minutes. Researchers also observed signs of improved stress regulation and changes in brain circuits tied to emotion.

Keep your head down. Don’t ask too many questions. Just finish your note and move on.
I heard a version of this command at every level of training and well into my attending practice, from colleagues, seniors, teachers, and administration. Most delivered the advice like it was some sort of hard-won wisdom, though it wasn’t. It was the sound of people who repeated the system’s rules because it felt like control.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Federal regulators invite industry, researchers, and lobbyists to closed-door meetings on clinical AI
Federal health officials held closed door conversations with prominent technology companies last month as the health department and its subagencies aim to safely boost adoption of clinical artificial intelligence.
During a July 8th “clinical AI demo day” at the Food and Drug Administration’s White Oak headquarters, officials from the FDA and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services hosted leaders from 10 companies, according to an agenda for the event reviewed by STAT: Anthropic, Counsel Health, Curai, K Health, Microsoft AI, Amazon One Medical, Doctronic, Ellipsis Health, Hippocratic AI, and Welldoc.
STAT spoke with four companies that attended, Counsel Health, K Health, Hippocratic AI, and Ellipsis Health, who summarized their comments to regulators. The meeting was meant to offer federal health officials first-hand experience with AI doctor technology as it exists today. For the assembled companies, including powerful technology giants and startups funded by influential investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Khosla Ventures, the event offered a significant opportunity to help shape policy as officials wrestle with regulating health AI and how to pay for it.

In the middle of watching the new Spider-Man movie, I thought I heard a mention of siRNA and made a note to ask STAT’s biotech team about it. But lo and behold, my favorite science content creator Alex Dainis is on the case (caution: spoilers).
Schrödinger’s and Centene’s AI shifts
I’m looking forward to the point in time when people revise their opinions on AI. I think that in five years, we’ll have a better idea of what AI can and can’t do. Bosses will stop forcing people to use AI that doesn’t work, partially helped by AI getting better. There will be less froth, and thus less uncertainty in the job market and in the world (with regard to AI) at large.
