SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: An AI tool aims to catch harder-to-detect heart attacks in EKGs
A flurry of artificial intelligence algorithms have promised to help identify heart conditions early. By analyzing an electrocardiogram, a common 10-second test of the heart’s activity, AI has been cleared to screen for common arrhythmias and structural heart conditions, and algorithms in development aim to pinpoint patients at highest risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
While many of those models are focused on early diagnosis and prevention, AI also might help a patient when they’re having a heart attack. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration issued a rare de novo classification to a model from Powerful Medical that aims to help triage patients to the right care when they’re having chest pain. The vast majority of AI devices go to market through the FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway; fewer than 10 each year receive de novo classification, which typically requires more clinical evidence.
The most severe kind of heart attack occurs when a coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart, is completely blocked off. Those patients need to get to a cardiac catheterization lab as soon as possible to open up the blockage and restore oxygen to the heart. On an EKG, doctors can identify these kinds of myocardial infarctions from their characteristic “ST-segment elevations.”

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: Trump officials say AI will help save rural health care. Some leaders in the field don’t believe it
BANGOR, Maine — Rural health care providers, which have struggled for years, are facing nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over the coming decade. The Trump administration is pointing to a cutting-edge, if unproven way to save them: artificial intelligence.
“The best way to help” rural communities, is “AI-based avatars,” Mehmet Oz, who leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said at an event on mental health this year.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: U.K. unveils recommendations for regulating AI in medicine
LONDON — A U.K. commission on Thursday unveiled its recommendations for how the country should regulate artificial intelligence in medicine, as health authorities globally try to determine how to continuously review ever-changing products after they have been authorized instead of simply clearing them once for the market.
In its report, the commission sought to strike a balance between ensuring that the U.K. takes advantage of AI’s potential in medicine — the ability to review the millions of scans that are generated each year to track the eye health of patients with diabetes, for example — while prioritizing safety, tracking device performance over time, and treating patients equitably.
The 44 recommendations include some that would allow for the staged authorization of new AI models and others that would build a system for providers to report how tools are performing in their clinics — including when they malfunction or potentially inhibit patient care — as the models learn and adapt and perform differently depending on the setting.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: U.K. unveils recommendations for regulating AI in medicine
LONDON — A U.K. commission on Thursday unveiled its recommendations for how the country should regulate artificial intelligence in medicine, as health authorities globally try to determine how to continuously review ever-changing products after they have been authorized instead of simply clearing them once for the market.
In its report, the commission sought to strike a balance between ensuring that the U.K. takes advantage of AI’s potential in medicine — the ability to review the millions of scans that are generated each year to track the eye health of patients with diabetes, for example — while prioritizing safety, tracking device performance over time, and treating patients equitably.
The 44 recommendations include some that would allow for the staged authorization of new AI models and others that would build a system for providers to report how tools are performing in their clinics — including when they malfunction or potentially inhibit patient care — as the models learn and adapt and perform differently depending on the setting.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: ARPA-H to invest $62 million to develop FDA-authorized AI to help treat heart failure
ARPA-H, the government agency that funds cutting edge health research, plans to commit $62.7 million to develop artificial intelligence bots that direct treatment of heart failure. Among the goals of the program, called ADVOCATE, is to produce partially autonomous AI devices authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to help treat patients, including assessing symptom severity, prescribing drugs, and ordering lab tests.
ARPA-H on Wednesday announced the first batch of awards to health tech companies Atman Health, UpDoc, Tempus AI, and teams from Stanford University, Duke University, and the Kaiser Permanente health system. ARPA-H may still fund additional teams. The amount committed for the first year is $33.7 million, and the remainder may be renegotiated up or down.
Many of the 6.7 million Americans with heart failure don’t get optimal treatment because of difficulty accessing specialists, and the hope is that AI agents developed with ARPA-H funding can help address the gap, especially in rural and other underserved settings.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Can AI fix the emergency room?
You’re reading the web edition of STAT’s AI Prognosis newsletter, our subscriber-exclusive guide to artificial intelligence in health care and medicine. Sign up to get it delivered in your inbox every Wednesday.
It’s hard to resist the world’s obsession with productivity and efficiency and to force yourself to be present in a quiet space. I’ve been enjoying the wandering_cassettes Instagram account, which posts videos of Fisher Price cassette players playing songs in different settings. This one is particularly calming, but they’re all timeline cleansers.
The newsletter will be off next week as I work on a big new story, but I’ll be back in your inboxes Sept. 23.
AI scribes only fix a tiny slice of the problem
Today’s AI Prognosis — and my new story — are brought to you by “The Pitt.” Not in any financial way — I just mean that I finally started watching “The Pitt.” (No spoilers! I’m only halfway through season two.)
Everyone is right — it is extremely compelling television. But what struck me the most was how “The Pitt” feels exactly like the ambulance ride-alongs and emergency department shadowing visits I’ve done: Dropping in on the worst day of someone’s life, but doing it over and over every 40 minutes, for eight to 12 hours, without enough resources.

BOSTON — The building that houses the Brigham and Women’s Hospital emergency department opened in 2022. But by 2025, it was already too small. One early September evening, the emergency room had 59 patients — 152, if you counted everyone in the waiting room.
“In terms of rooms for acute care, we have 61,” said Christopher Baugh, an emergency physician at the hospital. “You can’t see 152 patients in 61 rooms.” Patient beds lined every possible area, with a full circle of beds surrounding the staff workstations in the center of the bay. Figurines of Star Wars characters R2D2 and C3PO peered over beds 80H and 81H — where “H” stands for “hallway.”
To some, this may look like a scene from another country, Baugh said. But to him, it’s just Thursday.

In 1867, Joseph Lister published his research on carbolic acid and antiseptic surgical technique. In September 1871, he was summoned to Queen Victoria, who had a rapidly growing abscess in her left armpit. Using his antiseptic surgical technique, Joseph Lister successfully drained the pus. Queen Victoria recovered without fever or other complications. The antiseptic technique quickly gained approval in the U.K. and Europe, but not among American physicians.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Can AI fix health care? In the chaos of emergency rooms, the technology comes up short
BOSTON — The building that houses the Brigham and Women’s Hospital emergency department opened in 2022. But by 2025, it was already too small. One early September evening, the emergency room had 59 patients — 152, if you counted everyone in the waiting room.
“In terms of rooms for acute care, we have 61,” said Christopher Baugh, an emergency physician at the hospital. “You can’t see 152 patients in 61 rooms.” Patient beds lined every possible area, with a full circle of beds surrounding the staff workstations in the center of the bay. Figurines of Star Wars characters R2D2 and C3PO peered over beds 80H and 81H — where “H” stands for “hallway.”
To some, this may look like a scene from another country, Baugh said. But to him, it’s just Thursday.

In 1867, Joseph Lister published his research on carbolic acid and antiseptic surgical technique. In September 1871, he was summoned to Queen Victoria, who had a rapidly growing abscess in her left armpit. Using his antiseptic surgical technique, Joseph Lister successfully drained the pus. Queen Victoria recovered without fever or other complications. The antiseptic technique quickly gained approval in the U.K. and Europe, but not among American physicians.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: Wearables, and the flood of data they generate, inch closer to entering the clinic
URL: https://www.statnews.com/2026/06/09/wearables-data-oura-whoop-clinical-integration/?utm_campaign=rss
A major selling point for wearable devices is the promise that they’ll help identify hidden health conditions before they lead to major harm. But a nagging issue has been the connection to clinician guidance when a smartwatch or ring raises the alarm.
To help address this issue, wearable makers Oura and Whoop recently announced they’ll make it possible for users to connect virtually with doctors directly from their apps. While the move could represent the first step in the long-awaited adoption of consumer health data by traditional clinical care, experts cautioned that the bar for data in clinical decision-making is higher than for simple wellness purposes. The Food and Drug Administration has only authorized a handful of wearable features for clinical use, and the evidence base for using wearable data to inform medical care is nascent. Widespread use by clinicians will take considerably more work.
“This was an inevitable development,” said Ida Sim, a physician and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, who studies how to make best use of consumer health data. “We’ve got these sensors that have ostensibly valuable data … but we haven’t even begun to tap into the real clinical value.”

They remind you to not talk during the movie, but when I saw “Project Hail Mary” last week, I was so alarmed that Ryan Gosling placed two Eppendorf tubes next to each other that I said, aghast, “He didn’t balance the centrifuge — that would have wrecked it…” while my non-scientist friends cracked up.
That one scientific flub aside, it’s still one of the best book-to-film adaptations I’ve seen, maybe ever.

SOURCE: STAT HEALTH TECHTITLE: STAT+: AI drug developer Insilico Medicine and Lilly ink commercialization deal worth up to $2.75 billion
Alex Zhavoronkov, CEO of Insilico Medicine, can’t stop complimenting Eli Lilly. “Lilly is better in AI than Insilico, and no other company is better in AI than us … except for these guys,” he said.
He insisted he wasn’t saying nice things about Lilly just because the pharma giant has signed a new deal with Insilico that’s worth $115 million up front and approximately $2.75 billion in biobucks, which are contingent on achieving regulatory and commercial milestones. After calling Lilly’s tirzepatide, which he is on, “the best drug ever invented by humans,” he said he’s been consistently singing Lilly’s praises for a year. “Mounjaro makes me so happy every day. I want to develop the next one.”
It looks like Zhavoronkov might have the opportunity to do just that — his AI drug development company’s new deal with Lilly, announced on Sunday, includes rights for the Mounjaro and Zepbound manufacturer to develop, manufacture, and commercialize some of Insilico’s preclinical AI-discovered candidates for oral therapeutics. Though he declined to say which assets Lilly licensed, he said that the company is the “absolutely best partner” for the candidates and that “nobody is better than them” in these disease areas. Insilico’s pipeline webpage recently was updated to note that a candidate targeting GLP-1 has been out-licensed to an undisclosed partner.

Good morning health tech readers!
I may just be an aging millennial, but I sometimes worry my emoji use is…. wrong. That I’m maybe humiliating myself in Slack and inscrutable in the group chat. It’s a minor (devastating) issue in my personal life, but what happens when characters with no universally defined meaning enter our medical records? Read on to our lead story to find out.
Reach me: [email protected]
What do emojis in medical records mean?
A wonderful new study of 218 million clinical notes at Michigan Medicine explores the use of emoji in medical records. Emoji use is still rare — they were in fewer than two notes in every 100,000 notes — but those numbers may be ticking up. A total of 372 distinct emoji were identified. As Katie Palmer notes, the use of the cartoony characters in medical records could impact their interpretability with legal and patient care implications.

URL: https://www.statnews.com/2025/12/11/hhs-new-approach-ehr-certification-health-tech/?utm_campaign=rss

At a health care AI summit in Washington D.C. yesterday, heavy hitters weighed in on the prospects for interoperability — the effort to make health data currently scattered about the health care system more readily accessible to patients, their providers, and maybe even researchers. A few comments of note:
•This was news to me: Thomas Keane who is the top health IT regulator at HHS said that before Christmas his office hopes to introduce a rule that would eliminate 34 certification criteria for electronic medical records and modify seven. These certification criteria have been much maligned for various reasons including that they create a huge burden on small companies that might want to compete with dominant vendors like Epic Systems.
•
•“We would like the EHR companies to have to do less conformance testing and concern themselves less with this aspect of our regulatory regime,” said Keane. “What we will pivot towards in the spring is regulating the application programming interfaces by which the EHRs talk to each other. And we can say that you have to adopt these features, you have to support this functionality, and if that functionality exists, then these EHRs and other technological applications in the ecosystem should all be able to talk to each other.”
•
•Investor Vijay Pande has resurfaced following his exit from Andreessen Horowitz‘s Bio & Health team earlier this year. He now has a new healthcare AI fund called VZ.VC that he’s not really ready to talk about yet, even though it’s on his LinkedIn profile.
•
•Pande offered an intentionally provocative take on the prospects for interoperability: “I think it’s never going to happen. I think there’s not enough market forces to drive that… I think there’s reasons why we haven’t seen it — It’s not the technology.”
•
Debate on state AI laws heats up
The health AI summit — where I spent most of yesterday a stone’s throw from the White House — was headlined by deputy health secretary Jim O’Neill. I wrapped up a number of his comments in a story, but most provocative was what he didn’t say: When event host Joe Grogan asked about a controversial proposal to prevent states from enforcing their AI laws, O’Neill demurred, saying only that in general he supported fighting state regulation on AI.
