At HIMSS24, Mayo Clinic Platform has launched Solutions Studio, a new program designed to accelerate the development, validation and deployment of digital health systems and integrate them into healthcare workflows. The Solutions Studio program is meant to alleviate the high costs and complexities that digital health companies face in the commercialization process and help streamline the adoption of technologies in hospitals and health systems.
With access to global, federated de-identified data and efficient, scalable integration into clinical workflows, Solutions Studio aims to make digital health innovation and adoption faster and easier.
Testing, deploying and evaluating AI
“AI is already transforming healthcare, and it is critical that best practices are followed with testing, deployment and evaluation of AI solutions,” said Dr. John Halamka, president of Mayo Clinic Platform and cofounder and board chair of the Coalition for Health AI. “For Solutions Studio, Mayo Clinic Platform developed a rigorous, proprietary qualification process to evaluate digital health solutions and ensure they are fair, appropriate, valid and effective.”
Technology developers typically need several years and millions of dollars to bring a digital health system to the point of care, noted Steve Bethke, vice president of product portfolio at Mayo Clinic Platform. “Solutions Studio will accelerate the rate at which these solutions can be developed and implemented, enabling better patient outcomes, higher operational efficiencies and a lower cost of care.”
Halamka outlined key benefits of Mayo Clinic Platform Solutions Studio for digital health companies:
Clean, curated, de-identified data from diverse global regions for model development and improvement.
Library of tools with analytics and federated training capabilities.
Opportunity for objective assessment into model’s performance with Mayo Clinic Platform Validate.
Simplified process to integrate systems into clinical workflows with Mayo Clinic Platform Deploy.
A novel technology qualification process that incorporates due diligence, clinical review, risk stratification and quantitative review by expert physicians and data scientists.
Standardized contracting processes, marketing opportunities and access to Mayo Clinic Care Network member hospitals.
Specialized insights and guidance from Mayo Clinic experts, and access to implementation services.
“There is a lot of excitement around the transformative potential of AI in healthcare, but it will only be possible if providers have the tools necessary to demystify and use AI responsibly in clinical care,” said Dr. Sonya Makhni, medical director of solutions for Mayo Clinic Platform. “As founding members of the Coalition for Health AI, we created guiding principles that are the foundation of Solutions Studio, enabling innovators to bring qualified solutions to life quickly, while helping providers access high-quality solutions they can trust.”
