1:40 PM - "Data: EHR Audit Logs on Patient Outcomes and Treatment"
Join Robert Thombley from the Center for Clinical Informatics and Improvement Research, the nationally recognized home of EHR audit log research in the US, as he presents on the unique insights to be gained from researching EHR use, their approaches to capturing health care context. Robert will also present a few case studies from his research to illustrate the value and the promise of their work.
Traditional clinical research has been dominated by answering “What” questions in medicine: “What diagnosis is it? What treatment works? What happens when we use this treatment with that diagnosis.” The advent of the electronic medical record enabled entirely new domains of research to emerge, ones that allow us to incorporate significantly more context into our understanding of health care delivery in ways that were impossible or prohibitively expensive even a decade ago.
All EHR vendors are required to include functionality that allows administrators the ability to audit access & use of the EMR by users. While intended to support security and auditing of inappropriate access to patient data, these audit logs provide a detailed and high-resolution lens into the actions of healthcare providers, the patients they care for and the organizations they operate in. This data grants us - the QI analyst, the healthcare reformer, the researcher, clinic administrators – access to a novel arena, a world in which we can better understand the context within which we provide health care. We can now understand not just “what” is happening at bedside or in the clinic, but who was there, when they were there, how they did their work and use this information to begin to address the idea of “why.”

Zeto, Inc.
Zeto enhances the accessibility and affordability of brainwave testing, resulting in improved outcomes for neurological issues such as epilepsy, stroke, concussion, and sleep disorders.
Zeto's EEG technology is a revolutionary solution in the field of EEG testing. It addresses the limitations of traditional EEG technology that has remained largely unchanged for nearly a century, leaving it underutilized for the evaluation of patients with neurological conditions like seizures, confusion, epilepsy, stroke, concussion, and sleep disorders. Zeto provides healthcare professionals and patients with a simple, easy, and convenient EEG experience, with the added benefit of quick and smart data analysis through a cloud platform. This makes EEG testing more accessible and available in more hospitals and clinics. Zeto's EEG system not only democratizes access to EEG testing, but it also harnesses the power of AI to open up new possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. Zeto's EEG technology is a paradigm shift in EEG testing, offering a more efficient, effective, and accessible solution for patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Zemplee, Inc.
By 2050, more than half a billion people on our planet will be aged 65 and over and will choose to age in remote environments such as their homes or institutions. These environments are not designed to address the minimum required levels of care, safety and health that is necessary for them to live and thrive. The eldercare market relies heavily on a disproportionate supply of labor which is in constant short supply, universally. This creates an enormous gap between the basic level of care provided and the level of care required, which results in adverse outcomes such as high costs, premature and repeated hospitalizations, prolonged state of physical and mental deterioration and poor quality of life. Zemplee has created an aging-in-place solution with an AI powered attentive technology that is changing the way we fundamentally care for our loved ones. An award-winning company with patented technology uses a non-invasive, non-intrusive, non-wearable motion and touch-based IoT Sensor kit with a AI application that a) empowers caregivers with unique insights and helps them become better and efficient caregivers b) keeps an eye on the elderly ensuring their care and safety in their absence c) proactively alerts the care team on adverse incidents.

Nuron
Nuron is a pioneering platform that is transforming and accelerating drug development with the help of AI Bots. The platform automates daily tasks of scientists, engineers, and medical professionals working in all phases of drug development, including drug discovery, process development, manufacturing, clinical affairs, and medical affairs. With the use of advanced AI, data, and automation technologies, Nuron automates knowledge search, analysis, report creation, and deployment of predictive machine learning.
Nuron has been widely recognized by some of the largest pharmaceutical companies as an "unprecedented platform" that has the potential to reduce the time and cost of different phases of drug development by 20-50%. Even a 10% reduction in the 15-year cycle of new drug development can lead to a significant reduction in the prices of new drugs by 40-60%, without impacting the profitability of pharma companies. This could also save millions of lives by making essential medicines more affordable and accessible.
The potential impact of Nuron on the drug development industry cannot be overstated. By streamlining the drug development process, Nuron has the potential to bring more lifesaving drugs to market faster, and at a lower cost, ultimately benefiting patients, the pharmaceutical industry, and society at large.

Choix
Choix was the first US based company to offer asynchronous abortion care when we opened our virtual doors in California in 2020. Despite increasing challenges for providers of abortion care, we have continued to provide care for thousands of patients since the fall of Roe. All of our care is evidenced based and conducted via medical questionnaires and over text access with medical providers. We partnered with - and continue to partner with - researchers at UCSF to provide data on our patient outcomes. We have an ongoing relationship with UCSF via the CHAT Study as well. Our data utilized in JAMA was part of the first published data in the US on fully remote care and utilized by the FDA as part of its review of the REMS on Mifepristone.
