FDA clears Epic deterioration model; Bayer sells Blackford radiology AI; chest X-ray AI flags osteoporosis; Houston Methodist ties OR AI to more cases
The voices on this episode are generated, and so is the script, from the day's post at Physician in the Loop. Every fact in the post links to its source.
The Food and Drug Administration has cleared Epic Systems' Deterioration Index Version 2, a model in Epic's record that predicts which hospitalized adults will decline, in a 510(k) decided Sept. 18, agency records show.
The model is Epic's first AI clearance from the agency's device center, according to a review of September clearances by the consultancy Innolitics. Its validation showed lower sensitivity for Black and Hispanic patients than for white patients at the medium-risk threshold, Becker's Hospital Review reported.
In radiology, Sopris Capital closed its purchase of Blackford Analysis from Bayer, and Korean researchers reported a chest X-ray model that identified osteoporosis in three outside cohorts. In surgery, Houston Methodist's innovation chief described an operating-room camera system linked to 7% more cardiothoracic cases a month, and a Northwell Health team published a skills score built from robotic console data.
