What Changed

High usability scores failed to catch 17 scoring errors in a clinician-built ePROM app, proving independent clinical review must supplement automated testing before deployment [1].

Clinical Practice | A clinician‑built, AI‑assisted ePROM app showed high usability but independent review flagged 17 cases needing correction. Mean SUS was 92.3 (SD 8.8) for clinicians and 92.0 (SD 10.8) for patients; although all 78 original automated cases passed, a frozen 78‑case scoring matrix revealed 17 expected results requiring clinical or methodological adjustment.

Industry & Products | Jefferson Health balances internal builds, purchases, and venture partnerships to avoid point‑of‑care proliferation. In the Healthcare AI Pioneers podcast, the health system builds internally for long‑term vision, buys for immediate patient‑care impact, and partners via venture deals when external partners have resources but Jefferson lacks capital, deliberately steering clear of standalone point‑of‑care solutions.

Clinical Practice | Nearly two‑fifths of physicians view AI proficiency as a hiring factor in specialty recruitment. Survey data show 39 % of doctors say AI proficiency influences hiring decisions within their specialty, while almost one‑quarter expect AI to boost their compensation within the next year. [3]

Clinical Practice | A machine‑learning risk model for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy was trained on multimodal data from 850 patients. Clinical, demographic, medication, laboratory, and echocardiographic variables were used to develop a random survival forest that predicts a composite of all‑cause mortality or heart‑failure hospitalization, validated via internal‑external cross‑validation across Swiss and Austrian registries.
