Impact of AI on HTM: An Evolving Landscape

Artificial Intelligence technology is rapidly expanding across a broad range of healthcare applications. What does this mean for CE/HTM in practice? How can we ensure that appropriate guardrails and support models are in place for these new solutions? What are some of the technology dependencies and infrastructure implications?

Our expert line-up of speakers and panelists will explore a range of practical topics to help prepare you for:

  • Ensuring Successful AI Implementations
  • Optimizing AI Technology Service and Support
  • Understanding Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Considerations and More!

Join us for this half-day symposium to learn from your peers and share your facility’s experience in implementing AI technologies!

Agenda:

  • 7:15 a.m. - Light refreshments - Sponsored by Asimily
  • 7:30 a.m.-8:00 a.m. - Artificial Intelligence: An Overview and Clinical Engineering's Role, Speaker: Peter Dziedzic, MS, Assist. Professor, Director Center of mHealth and Innovations, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Artificial intelligence, including machine learning and deep learning, is rapidly transforming healthcare by enabling systems to    learn from complex data and lay the foundation for predictive models. At the Johns Hopkins Neuro ICU, we are striving to harness AI to advance new concepts and frameworks for predicting patient deterioration and guiding timely interventions. Clinical engineers play a vital role as Aware Engineers, ensuring that the data these models rely on is accurate, complete, and trustworthy. Without this assurance, we risk “garbage in, garbage out,” ultimately undermining the potential of AI to improve patient care.

  • 8:00 a.m.-8:30 a.m. - Building a Sustainable AI Support Model, Speaker: Nathan Licht, RN, MSN, Principal Data Analyst, Enterprise Data Intelligence, Cedars-Sinai

Does getting started with AI at your site feel like you're building the plane the same time you're flying it? While healthcare organizations race to implement AI and reinvent themselves to capitalize on its promises, critical questions are emerging about what's prioritized and what's set aside in the rush to innovate. I'll share observations from our data intelligence initiatives and approaches we've found helpful in developing our AI support model within a complex clinical environment. You'll hear about strategies we've experimented with that might offer considerations for your own path forward, and we'll discuss our ongoing learning journey as we work toward evolving from siloed AI ecosystems toward a more integrated AI-aware culture that supports our organization's core mission.

  • 8:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m. - Building Smarter Hospitals: Artificial Intelligence Applications for the Decade Ahead, Speaker: Dr. Thomas H. McCoy, Clinical Investigator, Associate Professor Mass General Research Institute, Assistance Professor of Medicine Harvard Medical School

While the fundamental questions posed by academic medical centers remain stable – how do we provide the safest and most effective treatment today, develop better treatments for tomorrow, and train the next generation of healthcare professionals – the answers are constantly evolving. The pressures of an aging population, an overwhelmed workforce, and increasingly acute hospital environments demand innovative solutions in the decade ahead. This session will explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence models, whether specific to medical devices or adopted from other industries, in helping healthcare technology managers meet the demands of tomorrow's patients and healthcare systems.

  • 9:00 a.m.-9:15 a.m. - Break
  • 9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m. - AI Panel Discussion, Panelists: Peter H. Dziedzic; Nathan Licht; Tom McCoy; Mike Powers; Priyanka U. Sollinger; Moderator: Erin Sparnon
