In the News
Etiometry is the First to Achieve FDA Clearance of an AI-Based Risk Algorithm that Alerts for Inadequate Oxygenation of Adult Patients in Critical Care
Etiometry (@etiometry), a clinical decision-support software company, announced its IDO2 Index™ was cleared for adult use by the Food and Drug Administration. Now, U.S. hospitals can arm adult critical care teams with risk analytics that alert them to patients likely experiencing inadequate oxygen delivery. With this heightened situational awareness, clinicians can take action to avoid complications related to hypoxic conditions – a fundamental mission in critical care medicine. The IDO2 Index™ is Etiometry’s first FDA-cleared index for adults in the U.S. and follows Health Canada and CE Mark approvals for pediatric and adult patients in 2022.

Accelerating the Use of AI in Healthcare in 2023?
Adopted health technologies have created an overwhelming amount of personal health data for providers and patients. Using this data for better diagnosing and outcomes has been the greatest challenge. Will AI start to prove meaningful in analyzing all this data for the better? Here is what the experts have to say.
Adopting AI Will Be on Everyone’s Mind in 2023
Another year is coming to an end and as tradition we have reached out to our thought leaders to see what they think we can expect next year. So what should we look forward to when it comes to AI, health data, and Analytics?
5 Healthcare AI Trends to Watch in 2023 – Dr. Joe Marks, CTO (Wētā Digital), Unity Software and sits on the Board of Directors for Augmedix (@augmedix) – It doesn’t take a leap of imagination to connect Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its proper role in healthcare. While we will always need clinicians to handle the interactive portion of a healthcare visit and connect with patients at the point of care, there are processes that can be eased along the way through recently developed and emerging technologies. With clinician burnout running high and staffing shortages with us for the foreseeable future, 2023 stands to be a pivotal year for AI to elevate our industry.
