healthcare AI

I3LUNG's 2,396-patient Nature Medicine study found chart and blood data drove lung cancer immunotherapy predictions, while CT and pathology gains didn't survive held-out testing. Validate locally before funding new data pipelines.

Medallion acquired Andros, an NCQA-certified CVO serving nearly 400 health plans and healthcare organizations. NCQA automatic credit follows the certified entity and the specific verification options it holds, so confirm both before your files migrate.

A PLOS Digital Health analysis found that only 3 of 1,357 FDA-cleared AI/ML medical devices were ever evaluated on patient outcomes. Clearance certifies substantial equivalence to a predicate, not benefit — so health systems have to write the evidence, subgroup coverage and drift monitoring into procurement themselves.

More than nine in ten health systems have deployed third-party AI, and 23 of 25 say they test it before go-live. Only 11 have a platform to test on — so most hospitals are validating against the vendor's own accuracy numbers, measured on somebody else's patients.
