Suki Joins American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ Member Advantage Program

Published

on

Redwood City, CA, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Suki, the leader in voice artificial intelligence (AI) technology for health care, is pleased to join the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) Member Advantage Program, an exclusive AAOS member-only program that offers a wide range of discounts and member savings on the most reliable and relevant products and services. As a program partner, Suki will offer its AI-powered, voice-enabled digital clinical assistant to AAOS’ 39,000 orthopaedic surgeons at an exclusive rate.

The Suki AI Assistant, which uses AI, natural language processing, and machine learning, will help physicians create clinically accurate medical notes and quickly complete administrative tasks, such as retrieving patient information from the electronic medical record (EMR) system, by simply speaking. Across its user base, which includes physicians working in dozens of specialties, the Suki AI Assistant has helped reduce the time spent on clinical notes. For orthopaedists, the Suki AI Assistant lowers average time per note by 63 percent, allowing physicians more time to focus on their patients and improve work-life balance.

“AAOS works with our partners to offer values-driven, evidence-based solutions to support our membership,” said Ben Harkinson, vice president, AAOS Commercial Solutions. “We are pleased to offer our members access to a program, such as the Suki AI Assistant, that can help reduce time spent in administrative work, giving them more energy to spend on their patients. We are excited to add Suki to the AAOS Member Advantage Program.”

AAOS works to identify the best technology, practices, and policy solutions to continue advancing the profession of orthopaedic surgery. AAOS selected the Suki AI Assistant as an effective solution to the increasing crisis of physician burnout, which has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even during this difficult time, physicians still cite administrative workloads as a leading cause of their burnout, as they spend roughly two hours on administrative tasks for every hour of patient care. A significant part of that work is related to EMR documentation.

“My practice has appreciated that the learning curve with Suki is minimal. In fact, there really is no training; you can start it on Day One,” said Dr. Michael Behr, MD, FAAOS, medical director for OrthoAtlanta and a Suki AI Assistant user since 2018. “We found that the assessments physicians were doing in their dictations were more robust, and they were also finishing their notes quicker. It gave them time back in their day, which is critical.”

In addition to combatting physician burnout, many providers and health systems are still recovering from revenue losses as a result of COVID-19. The Suki AI Assistant is a proven tool for increasing patient volume and reducing lost revenue. Suki’s time savings are shown to increase patient volumes by 12 percent, equating to an additional $30,000 in annual revenue per physician. Additionally, an analysis of orthopaedists revealed that the use of Suki resulted in a 19 percent reduction in the claims denial rate over a year. Assuming a 50 percent collection rate, that translates to $18,000 additional revenue for each physician due to coding and documentation improvement.

“Suki AI Assistant has delivered incredible time-saving and revenue-capturing results for orthopaedic physicians, and we are proud that AAOS has selected us to be their partner in bringing this innovative solution to even more orthopaedists across the country,” said Jallel Harrati, Vice President of Sales at Suki. “We look forward to working together to improve the care delivery experience for AAOS physicians and their patients.”

AAOS members can access an extended free trial of the Suki AI Assistant for 60 days with waived integration and training fees and should go to suki.ai/aaos to learn more.

By combining a pan-and-tilt panoramic lens and a fixed 180-degree wide-angle lens, one H9c Dual smartly secures large areas with performance better than that of two ordinary ones.
HOOFDDORP, Netherlands, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EZVIZ, a leading global player in innovative smart home security, proudly introduces the H9c Dual series, its latest dual-lens outdoor pan-and-tilt cameras that redefine smart protection for homes and small businesses. With options in 2K and 3K resolutions, their groundbreaking design combines a sharp bullet camera and a flexible PT camera, addressing complex security needs effectively. The interlinked dual lenses work collaboratively to safeguard wide property areas, detect and track activities, and offer auto-patrol options for hands-free security.

“The H9c Dual challenges traditional outdoor cameras with unrivaled vision, unmatched automation, and high versatility for basically any scenario,” said Candice Tu, the lead product manager, “EZVIZ leads the way in the development and application of advanced dual-lens technology. This underlines our dedication to bringing cutting-edge technology within reach for practical, everyday situations.”
At the core of the H9c Dual is its groundbreaking dual-lens technology, highlighted by EZVIZ’s distinctive co-action function. The two lenses can work independently at two static viewing angles or act together as a team. When the fixed lens detects motions, the pan-and-tilt lens automatically rotates to track the same activity. This co-action function can also be manually controlled through the EZVIZ App.
The series addresses unnoticed blind spots by offering a 180-degree comprehensive view in a single frame, supplemented by the bottom PT lens for intricate close-ups. Both lenses, with high resolutions of 2K/3K, use built-in AI chips to detect people and vehicles in customizable zones, ensuring users are informed of crucial activities. Users can set up to four patrol spots for the PT lens to complete automatic rotations on a schedule.
Equipped with powerful LEDs, the H9c Dual provides color night vision up to 40 meters and warns potential trespassers with a loud siren and dazzling flashlight upon detection. Offering superior protection compared to a traditional two-camera system, the H9c is a breeze to set up thanks to its adaptable mounting design. Users can manage and control their H9c through the user-friendly EZVIZ App, and enjoy seamless integration with prevailing voice assistants and the larger EZVIZ ecosystem.

Red light therapy for repairing spinal cord injury passes milestone

Published

red-light-therapy-for-repairing-spinal-cord-injury-passes-milestone

BIRMINGHAM, England, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) could benefit from future treatment to repair nerve connections using red and near-infrared light.

The method, invented by University of Birmingham scientists and patented by University of Birmingham Enterprise, delivers light directly to the site of the injury. 
Their latest research, published in Bioengineering and Translational Medicine, determined an optimal ‘dose’ for this novel approach, and showed it can deliver therapeutic improvements including significant restoration of sensation and movement, and regeneration of damaged nerve cells. 
Researchers led by Professor Zubair Ahmed used cell models of SCI to determine the frequency and duration of light required to achieve maximum restoration of function and stimulate nerve cell regrowth. 
They found delivery at a wavelength of 660nm for one minute a day increased cell viability (the number of live cells) by 45% over five days’ treatment. 
Professor Ahmed said: “The effect of 660nm light was both neuroprotective, meaning it improved survival of nerve cells, and neuroregenerative, meaning it stimulated nerve cell growth.” 
The researchers also investigated the effect of light therapy in preclinical models of SCI, using an implantable device and transcutaneous delivery with the light source placed against the skin. They showed comparable results for both methods, with a one-minute dose of 660nm light, delivered daily for seven days resulting in reduced tissue scarring, increased levels of proteins associated with nerve cell regeneration, improvements in the connections between cells and significant functional recovery. 
This is the first time transcutaneous and direct light delivery have been compared in SCI. Professor Ahmed said: “To make light therapy viable for treating SCI in humans an implantable device will be required, to provide line of sight to damaged tissue and the opportunity for greater accuracy and standardise dosing without impedance due to the thickness of the skin and other tissues surrounding the spinal cord.”
The researchers are planning to develop an implantable device for use in humans with traumatic SCI. They have already received further funding and are seeking commercial partners or investors to develop a prototype device to take into first-in-man clinical trials.
