Article Excerpt: A new center based at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon will focus on artificial intelligence and the transformative role it’s expected to play in health care over the next decade. We may not know it but artificial intelligence, or AI, is all around us, whether it’s the cars we drive or the cellphones we use on a regular basis. And that includes how health care is delivered. “Computers are getting very good at solving problems,” Saeed Hassanpour said. Hassanpour is the director of the Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence, which he calls a hub for education and research. It’s based in the Williamson building at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is a collaboration between the Dartmouth Cancer Center, Dartmouth College and the Geisel School of Medicine.

Article Excerpt: New research published in JAMA Network Open found that hospitalized patients using wearable devices had better physical activity levels and physical functioning as opposed to patients receiving standard care. Typically, hospitalized patients engage in limited levels of physical activity. This often leads to adverse health outcomes. However, the capabilities of wearable devices led researchers to examine their efficacy in boosting patient activity levels.

Article Excerpt: With $2 million, the Geisel School of Medicine and the Dartmouth Cancer Center are launching a new Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence on the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center campus in Lebanon. The new center, which will be based in the Williamson Translational Research Building on DHMC’s campus, aims to bring together related research and clinical efforts across Dartmouth to use information about patients’ biology, such as genetics, medical history, lifestyle and environment to create personalized treatment plans and disease-prevention strategies in order to improve people’s health. “It is a very active domain of research,” Saeed Hassanpour, a Dartmouth associate professor of biomedical data science, epidemiology and computer science and the center’s inaugural director, said in a phone interview. “There’s a lot of promise.”

Article Excerpt: Dartmouth launched its Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence (CPHAI) this week, which is set to advance interdisciplinary research into how artificial intelligence (AI) and biomedical data can be used to improve precision medicine and health outcomes. CPHAI’s launch is supported by $2 million in initial funding from Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine and the Dartmouth Cancer Center. The center’s research aims to improve public health and healthcare delivery while maintaining rigorous ethical standards for health AI, according to CPHAI’s website.

Article Excerpt: Despite the many advances made in academic medicine in recent decades, successfully applying what is learned in research to patient care remains a major challenge. For example, it takes, on average, 17 years for research to reach clinical practice. And most evidence-based guidelines are adopted only about 25 percent of the time. With the establishment of the new Dartmouth Center for Implementation Science (DCIS) at the Geisel School of Medicine, community partners across the Dartmouth enterprise will work to help close those gaps. “Implementation science is an emerging area of multidisciplinary research that focuses on moving scientific evidence into routine practice,” explains Jeremiah Brown, PhD, a professor of epidemiology at Geisel and founding director of DCIS. In addition to Brown, the DCIS leadership team includes co-directors Sarah Lord, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and biomedical data science, Kelly Aschbrenner, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and principal scientist at Dartmouth Health, and program manager Sherry Owens, PhD. Genevieve Shaefer ’26, the first Women In Science Project (WISP) intern for DCIS, will be working with the team on campus engagement and training.

Article Excerpt: Under the simultaneous pressures of a pandemic-driven explosion in the use of telehealth, a growing emphasis on value-based care, and the current state of medical technology, the healthcare industry is undergoing what appear to be fundamental changes as a consequence of the high and irreversible growth of telehealth… In December 2022, the American Medical Association (AMA), in partnership with Manatt Health, released the “Return on Health” report that develops a framework to more precisely and holistically measure the value of telehealth through detailed case studies. This initiative also focuses on the challenges and opportunities for virtual care.(1) The adoption of the latest technology is essential to the expansion of telehealth beyond routine patient care.
