Hospital Care (The Derby Mill Series ep 12)
The Derby Mill Series
Optimizing Hospital Operations through AI and Early Sepsis Prediction
This chapter explores the use of artificial intelligence in hospitals to predict sepsis up to 18 hours in advance, enhancing operational efficiency. It also discusses the implications for resource allocation and the impact on marginalized populations facing health disparities.
Hospitals in jurisdictions around the world face tight budgets and staff shortages. Artisight offers an AI-powered suite of software services designed to help hospitals do more with the limited resources they have available. Based in Chicago and led by a medical doctor who also has an MBA, Dr. Andrew Gostine, Artisight’s mission is to improve quality metrics and financial outcomes with the help of computer vision, IoT sensors and vital-sign monitoring.
For example, one hospital system that used Artisight’s technology, Northwestern Medicine, saw a 52% reduction in nursing overtime and a 76% reduction in nursing turnover alongside improved nursing and patient satisfaction scores. At the start of 2024, Artisight announced that it raised US$42 million in a funding round that was oversubscribed by 2.4x and included NVIDIA as an investor.
On the agenda in today’s discussion: What’s the potential for AI-enabled healthcare administration? How can AI be of assistance to the healthcare industry? What can be done to increase efficiency in the near term, and where does the technology go at the limit? The Derby Mill team talks to Artisight CEO and co-founder Dr. Andrew Gostine, and chief science officer and co-founder Tim Koby, to discuss the future of healthcare.

NUGGETS
Nugget 1 - Using AI to Maximize Hospital Care
AI can now recognize procedures like IV insertions without staff saying a word, thanks to AI using voices as a timestamp and training computer vision with synthetic images.
Nugget 2 - "Why now?" How Real-World Problems Held AI Back Until Today
For years, AI has promised to transform healthcare. So why is it only working now? Emergent Platform CEO Niamh Gavin uses her healthcare expertise to describe the real-world hurdles that held earlier AI solutions back. Artisight CEO and co-founder, Dr. Andrew Gostine, explains the innovation that was needed to reach the quality of AI and get it to where it is today.
Nugget 3 - Stopping Sepsis Before It Starts
AI could predict sepsis up to 18 hours before it strikes—early enough that patients may never meet the clinical criteria at all. Artisight CEO and co-founder Dr. Andrew Gostine explains how predictive intelligence is transforming preventative care, and why fall prevention was just the beginning.
